March 2026 Challenge: Sew Much Fun

Happy Sunday, Pinkfresh fans! We loved seeing all the beautiful projects you shared for our last challenge, and we can’t wait to see what you create for this month's theme. This challenge is open to all papercrafters—whether you enjoy scrapbooking, cardmaking, journaling, or mini albums, there’s a place for you here!

The theme for March is Sew Much Fun! 🧵🪡 This can include actual hand or machine stitching on your project, adding floss or twine, creating faux stitching with dies, or using sewing-themed images like scissors, needles, spools, and more.

The Stitch Edit line is perfect for this theme, and we also have plenty of coverplate and essential dies that add beautiful faux stitching details. We've added some product ideas to the end of this blog post, but feel free to use whatever you have in your stash!

Quick reminder: You can enter up to 3 new, never-before-seen projects in each month’s challenge.

Check out yesterday’s post for the February challenge winners and Top 3 Projects. Maybe you will be featured next! Ready to join the fun? Let’s get crafting!

We can't wait to see how you incorporate the Sew Much Fun theme into your projects! For those inspired by the color scheme, here are the best matching ink shades: Marigold, Bubble Gum, Wisteria, Summer Shower, and Grassy Knoll.

✨ Remember: ✨
Our monthly challenge is an Anything Goes Challenge: While the theme and colors are here to inspire you, feel free to enter any NEW project that primarily uses Pinkfresh Studio products. Whether you use the theme, the colors, both or none—it’s up to you. At the end of the day, we just want you to get crafty and have fun!

Let’s see what you create! 💛

Here is some inspiration for you from our amazing team to get you started and maybe spark some ideas for your projects:
