March Technique Challenge

Hi and welcome to another challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown! Our challenges are all about Christmas and getting ahead with our seasonal cards.

This week, we have a technique challenge for you from our hostess for this month, Gill. We would like you to create your card using punch art.

Punch art is a great way to create fun images and get more use from your punches. You can use either dies or punches, or a combination of both, so you have lots to choose from. We can't wait to see what you create ...

And now for some punch art inspiration from our Design Team ...

Please read the challenge rules carefully before creating your card.

March Sketch Challenge

Hi and a very warm welcome to you. Our aim at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, is to have our Christmas cards made long before the Christmas festivities begin, so that when the time comes, we can relax and enjoy the holidays. So with that in mind, it's time for a brand new challenge!

Our hostess this month is Gill, and she will be designing all the challenges for March. This week, she has created a sketch featuring a traditional layout which you are free to interpret with your own creativity and flare. You can use any label and embellishment of your choosing.

We hope you can join in the fun this week - we would love to see your creations.

Here's some inspiration from the Design Team to get you started ...
