INTRODUCING THE USE YOUR STASH
PRODUCT CHALLENGE
This year, we're encouraging you to use your stash with a monthly product challenge! Each month, we'll challenge you to use a particular Kingston Crafts item you probably already have in your stash. No rules on how you use it or what kind of project you make. However you get creative, we want to celebrate it!
Two winners will be chosen randomly, and each will receive $25 in Kingston Craftsgoodies. The winners will be announced when the next month's challenge is posted (scroll down for our December winners). Can't wait to see what you create!
This year, we're giving you a head start on creating your projects by sharing our January-June themes! Then, in June, we'll share our July-December themes so you can get your creative juices flowing for the last half of the year.
JANUARY - create a project using Kingston Crafts solid cardstock. Don't forget, our patterned paper/slimline collections and crafting kits also have solid color cardstock, and solid 4x4 cards from our Everyday Stories kits count too!
FEBRUARY - the themes is “hearts” - Chipboard hearts? Puffy hearts? Rub on hearts? Patterned paper with hearts on it? We've got so many KC items with hearts - you choose!
MARCH - the theme is “green” - Green glitter glue? Green spray mist? Green embellishments? Green cardstock? Use ANY green KC item for your project for a chance to win.
APRIL - create a project using any Kingston Crafts chipboard pieces. We've got chipboard you can color yourself, pre-cut shapes, chipboard with storage, so much fabulous chipboard!
MAY - the theme is “flowers” - not only do we have tons of KC floral items already available…we've got some fun new floral items coming in 2026!
JUNE - the theme is “words” - use any Kingston Crafts alphabet stickers, phrase stickers/cards (from our Everyday Stories or crafting kits) or our patterned paper with words to create your project.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR DECEMBER WINNERS!
Jennifer Dawn Smith used our Paper Doll Ornament Kit to create custom ornaments for EVERY COUPLE in her Sunday School Class and we just love this so much!! You can see even more of her creations in our Facebook Group.
Tis the season for creating cards “en masse” - and Teresa Christner's ugly sweater cards are a GENIUS way to use scraps of patterned paper! She topped them off with our puffy stickersand the result is SO SO FUN! You can see close ups of the cards in our Facebook Group.
Speaking of making “bulk” cards - our card bases make it easy to create colorful cards quickly and easily! Pamela Kahle used our Christmas card set (there are about 25 left on HSN!) to create dozens of cards and we love the pattern/color combos. Check out her post in our Facebook Group to see what she created.
