November Theme Challenge

 Welcome to Week Three of November's 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge!

Hello, crafty friends, and welcome back to another exciting week at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown! November is flying by, and if you're like us, you’re adding those last few handmade cards to your festive collection. Whether you’re a fan of traditional styles or modern twists, we’ve got a sparkling challenge this week to inspire you!

I'm Gill, and I’m thrilled to host this week’s challenge—a Sparkle Theme Challenge that’s perfect for adding a bit of holiday magic to your projects! Our talented Design Team has been hard at work, crafting cards filled with shimmer, shine, and sparkle to help ignite your creativity. Now, it’s your turn to dazzle us with your creations!

November’s Sparkle Theme Challenge:

This week, it’s all about sparkle! There’s no better time to embrace a bit of glitter and glamour than during the festive season, so grab your sparkliest supplies. From glittery embossing powders and foiled details to shimmering inks and metallic accents, there are endless ways to bring a bit of sparkle to your cards. The theme is completely flexible—whether you’re making a simple, elegant card with a touch of shimmer or a bold design full of glitz, it’s all about making your creations shine.

Get Creative with Sparkle!

We hope you’ll have fun experimenting with all things sparkly. Maybe you’ll use a dash of glitter on a snowflake die-cut, add foiled details to a festive wreath, or layer up some sparkly cardstock for extra texture. Don’t be afraid to mix and match your materials—think sequins, rhinestones, glitter cardstock, or metallic foils! The goal is to create a card that catches the light and adds a bit of joy to the holiday season.

Inspiration from our Designers

To help get those creative ideas flowing, our brilliant Design Team has put together some stunning examples that showcase just how versatile sparkle can be. From sophisticated cards with subtle shimmer to fun, glitter-filled creations, the team has explored all kinds of techniques and styles. Check out their work for ideas on how to incorporate sparkle in different ways, whether it’s through stamping, die-cutting, or layering different materials.
