November Stash Challenge Winners

What an incredible time we had here at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown for our November Stash Challenge! We were absolutely blown away by the response — we reached our maximum of 50 entries, which is just amazing. Thank you all for your enthusiasm and creativity, and sincere apologies to anyone who tried to link up but missed out once we reached capacity. Your support means the world to us.

This particular stash challenge was all about dusting off your stamps and giving them some well-deserved love. Whether you reached for red rubber, clear, photopolymer, wood-mounted, digi, or acrylic stamps, it was wonderful to see so many classic and well-loved images making their way back onto inked blocks. From crisp, clean impressions to beautifully coloured scenes, the variety and creativity on display were truly inspiring.

With just a few short weeks to go until Christmas, this challenge came at the perfect time. We loved seeing how many of you were getting those final festive cards made, tackling your “must-use” supplies, and turning your stash into something truly special. There’s nothing quite like that cosy, creative feeling of crafting your way through the last-minute Christmas preparations!

As always, choosing a winner and our honourable mentions was no easy task — the Design Team had some very tough decisions to make!

And now… the moment you’ve been waiting for!
