1) I've made these public cards, or feel free to make your own here. You can mix or match any of the prompt lists below or make your own - I'd love for people to add more items to my initial lists for this fest! Feel free to use the prompts in any way you want to create fills made of ANYTHING; fic, poetry, vid, podfics, recs, or handcrafts. Art, icons, and wallpapers. Fiber crafts, music, or animatics.

2) Increased Difficulty! Here are three challenges you can add to this month's fest if you like. They're a bit of a mating between Extras & Achievements, but not really either:

=Chain Stitch= A chain stitch is a type of stitching were one continuous thread is looped back on itself - for this fest you can earn a =Chain Stitch= by combining two adjacent prompts, using the 1st, using the 2nd, then using the 1st again in a different way!

=Overspray= Overspray is any sprayed paint that has missed the intended surface - for this fest you can claim =Overspray= for any fills not used to make your Bingo!

=Mosaic= Mosaic is the art of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials - for this fest create your =Mosaic= by using at least 5 disconnected prompts from your card in a single fill.

3) Bingo Patterns especially suited to this fest: Craft Basket, Cross Stitch Large, and Cross Stitch Small.



4) My Banner Template is ready to rock for the end of the month, and will include a generic banner that creators can grab after the fest ends if they bingo in their own time.

I'm going to be rebooting my 2022 National Crafting Month 5x5 Card, since I only filled the Wild Card spot that year! I'd appreciate additional suggestions that expand on any word or phrase on the bingo card. Feel free to make suggestions that tie into my ongoing series' or for something completely new.

Go you!
