November Sketch Challenge

Hello, and welcome to a brand-new month at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown! I’m Gill, and I’m excited to be setting the challenges for November. With Christmas just around the corner, there’s no better time to get creative and make those festive cards! Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just getting started, we hope you’ll join us and share your wonderful creations.

At 52CCT, we’ve been celebrating Christmas all year long, thanks to the amazing ladies on our Design Team. They’ve been hard at work, bringing you inspiration week after week with beautiful, Christmas-themed cards to help get you into the festive spirit. Now, as we kick off November, we’re looking forward to seeing what you come up with for your seasonal cards.

November’s First Challenge: Sketch Week!

As always, the first challenge of the month is a sketch challenge! This is a great way to jump-start your creativity. You can follow the provided layout as closely as you like, or get a bit playful with it. Whether you flip the sketch, stretch it to fit a different size, or swap out the shapes, we just ask that the basic design of the sketch remains visible in your card.

Sketch challenges are a fantastic opportunity to make a design your own while still following a structured template. You can experiment with different colours, patterns, and embellishments to create something truly unique—and we can’t wait to see how you interpret the sketch!

Our guest designer for this week is

Alenka

Here are the creations from the Design Team:
