Welcome to the Final Challenge of November 2025 at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!
Hello, lovely crafters, and welcome to our final challenge of November 2025 here at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!
It’s hard to believe how quickly this month has flown by — Christmas is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to get those last few handmade cards finished and ready to send. For our final week of November, we’re diving into a Stash Challenge that celebrates one of the most beloved tools in every crafter’s collection…
November’s Stash Challenge: Stamps!
That’s right — this week it’s all about stamps! Whether you’re a fan of traditional red rubber stamps, prefer clear photopolymer, or even love using cling stamps, this challenge is the perfect excuse to pull them out and get inky.
Stamps are at the heart of cardmaking, and there’s no better time than now to give them centre stage. From crisp sentiments and detailed backgrounds to bold focal images, stamping offers endless creative possibilities. So dust off those festive favourites — snowflakes, holly leaves, cosy cottages, and cheerful Santas — and show us your best stamped Christmas designs!
Get Creative with Stamps!
This challenge is all about celebrating the versatility of your stamping stash.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
-
Layer your stamps for extra depth — try background stamping behind your focal image.
-
Heat emboss for a bit of sparkle and shine.
-
Use different coloured inks for a playful, multi-toned look.
-
Try stamp masking to build a scene or cluster of festive images.
-
Or go minimalist with a single striking stamp as the star of your design.
Whether you’re using old favourites or trying out a brand-new set, we can’t wait to see how you bring your stamps to life this week!
