Welcome to Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges #19!
#19 starts May 1 and ends on June 15, 2026 with 12 am/midnight central time/Chicago or 6 am UK for start and end time references.
Our theme is always anything goes with the featured BINGO card. Choose one letter in the word BINGO and use at least three items in that column on your project. You must state in your blog post the column and the specific items used. This is not your typical BINGO card where you go up and down, left and right and diagonally. To make this more fun, you can only go up and down using the columns. There is a FREE space in each column that you are welcome to utilize if you'd like. You cannot mix and match columns - you can only use one column under one letter. The new bingo board is found at the end of the inspiration section.

profile: I'm very excited to be joining today's challenge as a Guest Designer - I enjoyed the challenge of making a card using the bingo board. I've been a card maker for many years and love my stamps, digi stamps, Promarkers and patterned papers. I work full time in a care home as an Activities Coordinator - crafting is my way of relaxing and de-stressing! I also love the social side of crafting - getting together with friends to craft and meeting people online too.
