$4000 in Prizes! Learn How YOU Can Become a 2022 Card Design Superstar!

Are you ready?

It’s time to announce our annual Card Design Superstar contest! This event is a highlight every year. We love the excitement it generates and are endlessly impressed by the skill and creativity on display.

We recognize and appreciate many different card-making styles — each is unique and relevant. While it would be impossible to categorize all of the different styles our customers represent, in an effort to encourage as many of you as possible to feel welcome and to participate, we’re continuing with the format of breaking the contest into three separate categories. Note that our final category has been updated to feature the box card designs you love creating — especially with the assistance of the vast selection of Box Card products featured in the MFT shop!

Having three distinct categories means you have a chance to shine in a specific category or by displaying your versatility in all three. It also means we have a HUGE array of prize opportunities for you.

At the conclusion of the contest, once winners have been announced, everyone that submits a qualifying entry will receive a special offer delivered to right to their inbox! To ensure you receive your offer upon completion of the contest, please make sure that the email address you submit with your entry is subscribed to the MFT Insiders newsletter HERE.

Be selected as one of our FIFTEEN 2022 Card Design Superstars (five winners from each of the three categories) and win a $250 shopping spree from My Favorite Things! You’ll be able to use your prize to choose from hundreds of products included in the exclusive My Favorite Things line. In addition to our fifteen superstars, we’ll also be randomly selecting one winner per category to win a $100 shopping spree — that’s over $4,000 in prizes!

Get your creative wheels spinning and start thinking about how you want to interpret our Superstar categories. Show us that you’ve got what it takes to be a:

Clean & Simple Genius

Here is your chance to showcase your innate understanding of design. White space, color theory, and design rules are critical components of pulling off a beautifully clean & simple look. You understand that sometimes, less is more, and you aren’t afraid to show it!

Coloring Virtuoso

Whether your preferred medium is paint, marker, or pencil, coloring is a skill you’ve honed since those early years spent with Crayolas and a favorite coloring book. The MFT collection of images is vast, so now is your opportunity to show off your exceptional coloring skills!

Box Card Master

When it comes to impressing your recipient with your skills and thoughtfulness, few things top the surprise a dimensional box card will generate! Our line of Box Card Die-namics makes creating these extraordinary designs fast and simple, allowing you to spend your time dreaming up and assembling cool scenes, rather than figuring out how to construct your card base. We can't wait to see you show off your unique style in delightfully dimensional form!
