November Stash Challenge

Hi there and welcome to the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge.

I'm Gill, and for the last challenge of November I've chosen a stash challenge for you ...

Christmas is certainly a time to shine, so this week I would like you to show us some magical Christmas shine using gilding flakes or foil, or both if you so desire, because if you can't have a bit of bling at Christmas, when can you?! It's your opportunity to use those gorgeous shiny foil or flakes in your crafting stash, to add that special touch to your cards.

Here is our Guest Designer this week...Jenny...showing off her foil talents!

And to give you inspiration, here are some ideas from the Design Team ...

November Theme Challenge

Hi and welcome to the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge. It's Gill here, and I'm your hostess again for this week's challenge.

This week I have a theme for you to follow...

Anyone who knows me, knows how crazy I am about Christmas. I just love this time of the year as it brings back so many happy memories from childhood. My lovely mum made Christmas so happy and magical, and I think we could all do with some magic and a bit of happiness right now.

For this week's inspiration, we would like you to make a card that conjures up the winter wonderland theme, be it images, colours, embellishments and more, it's totally up to you!

Our guest designer this week is ....

Caroline
