June - Stash

Hello! Can you believe it's June already? No, neither can I! It's Deborah here with you today to introduce our new challenge at Christmas Card Throwdown - CCT12. You might notice that the challenge number is off a bit, that's because we'd normally be doing a theme challenge now. For various reasons we've had to switch to our stash challenge. So for the next couple of weeks we want to see you use:

on your Christmas cards. Now, you don't have to use them all on your card - you can pick any of them. However, if you really want to go wild you can use them all!!

Here's some inspirations from the Design Team:

Myrna Sweet

Fabiola

April

Patricia

Alison

Deborah - to follow soon

You've got plenty of time to play along with us. Deadline for submission is midnight (BST) Friday 16th June (that's 7.00pm EDT). Have fun, we're really looking forward to seeing your creations.

April Stash Challenge

Hello, and welcome to another challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown! On the fourth Saturday of the month, the challenge hostess decides between either a stash challenge or a technique challenge.

This week we have a stash challenge for you.  You'll need to use some sort of metal embellishment on your Christmasy or wintry card.  Brads, eyelets, charms, photo turns, ribbon slides, clips - there is a wide variety of choices, and we're sure you have some of these items in your stash of crafting supplies!  You can use as many or as few metal embellishments as you like, so long as we can easily see them on your card.

 

Our talented design team has come up with the following cards to whet your creative appetite:

Patricia

Fabiola

Julie

April


Deborah

Gill

Now it's your turn!  Use some of your stash of metal embellishments and share your card with us using the linky tool below.  You have until 7:00 p.m. Eastern time/midnight BST Friday, April 29 to join in our challenge.  Happy crafting!

January Stash

Morning, it's Deborah here with my last challenge of the month at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. This week is either a Stash or Technique challenge.  I think this is a stash challenge, as I'm sure we all have foils and/or gilding flakes somewhere in our stash.  However, it could equally well be a technique!  I want to see foils or gilding on your cards.

There are a several ways to use foils and gilding flakes, and I've added some videos at the end of this post showing how to apply gilding flakes using glue and double sided adhesives.  Here's some inspiration from the team:
