Created by Sharon Armstrong, Mystery Monday Stamping has inspired thousands of cardmakers to build confidence, use the supplies they already own, and discover that creativity grows when there’s no fear of making mistakes.
That’s exactly why I created Mystery Monday.
Have you ever looked at a beautiful handmade card and thought, “I could never make that?”
Every week we’ll make a card together—one clue at a time. There are no spoilers, no pressure, and no “right” way to do it. Just creativity, laughter, and a wonderful community that cheers one another on.
Removing the Fear from Cardmaking—One Clue at a Time
Every Monday at 7:00 PM Central, thousands of cardmakers gather from around the world for one of the most unique live cardmaking experiences you’ll find anywhere.
Welcome to Mystery Monday Stamping!
Unlike a traditional card class, you won’t see the finished card until the very end. Instead, I’ll guide you through a series of clues that become a beautiful handmade card—one step at a time.
It isn’t about copying my card.
It’s about discovering your creativity.
Whether you’ve been stamping for years or you’re making your very first handmade card, you’ll find a welcoming community that loves to laugh, encourage one another, and celebrate every creative idea.
Around here we believe…
❤️ No stress.
❤️ Go rogue.
❤️ Use what you have.
❤️ There are no stamping police.
Your card doesn’t have to look like mine.
In fact…I hope it doesn’t!
The best part of Mystery Monday is seeing how one set of clues becomes hundreds of completely different cards.
Why Mystery Monday Is Different
Mystery Stamping was created to remove the fear from cardmaking—one clue at a time.
Every week you’ll discover that creativity isn’t about having the newest products or following directions perfectly.
It’s about having the confidence to create.
You’ll use supplies you already own, explore new layouts, and often surprise yourself with what you can make.
And yes…
Sometimes we “go rogue.”
Sometimes we laugh until we cry.
And somehow “Matt” always seems to make an appearance. 😉
What Happens Every Week?
Sunday
You’ll receive Clue #1 with a list of supplies and measurements so you can gather everything before the live. I send those via email and post on the Facebook Group.
Monday
Join me LIVE on YouTube at 7:00 PM Central as we solve the Mystery together.
We’ll laugh, chat, stamp, giggle (my Mystery Stampers insist my giggle sounds like a tune!), and create something beautiful.
After the live, take a picture of your finished card and share it in our Mystery Monday Stampers Facebook Group.
One of my favorite parts of Mystery Monday is seeing everyone’s creativity come to life.

I absolutely love Mystery Stamping. It is so much fun and I love making the Cards with you. Please keep on doing this for us. I look forward to this every week.
-Yvonne
Mystery Stamping, is what makes Mondays a day to look forward to. A place where there is no right or wrong to what you are supposed to do. Where “going rouge” is perfectly okay to do in Mystery Stamping. There’s no pressure at all. Don’t have a particular supply item? Use what you have. I
Mystery Stamping.
-Michelle
What a GREAT way to start the week! Using my own supplies, re-loving those old stamp sets that I’ve forgotten about, and finding new ways to use my stash-ALL GREAT reasons to love Monday’s! Thank you Sharon, for reminding us that “going rogue” isn’t a bad thing…it’s a license to be creative on our own

-Lois
I love it! Mystery Stamping helps me think outside the box. It’s made me realize I have some creativity – not just the ability to CASE & recreate. I’ve had some miserable”fails” and some, ‘WOW. I did that’!! I love to get the supplies ready Sunday night and start my Mondays with your sweet energetic personality.
