CCEE Stampers Hostess, Maryann Einam says, "Since it is so close to Christmas, now is the time to build up your card stash." She has asked the CCEE Stampers to build a favorite Christmas card in any style we like.
I made 18 of these fun gnome cards for my holiday card stash this year. The dies are from Momenta and the designer paper is from the Paper Studio.
Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored Christmas design features the Christmas Poinsettia again with assists from Clay Pots, Lilacs (stems but you can draw your own if you don't have this set) and All Year Grapevine Wreath (bow).
This card was created on a simple white card front with a bit scoring for added detail. Only the stems were stamped on the card front. The flowers, leaves, clay pot and bow were stamped on SVG cut files also available from Kitchen Sink Stamps.

November CCEE Stampers Hostess, Maryann Einam, has one last fun challenge for the CCEE Stampers for the month of November.
She says, "Whatever the season, it is great to get away and celebrate the day with a seaside holiday. Use the seaside for inspiration for your card today."
Well, my family and I celebrate the Christmas holidays together at the beach each and every year so this challenge is right up my alley.
My card features images from Unity and Rubbernecker with die cuts from Momenta and Spellbinders.

Mary Ann, our November CCEE Stampers Hostess, has another great challenge for us today! She says, "Receiving cards is so much fun, a fun fold card with a wow factor gives so much joy to the recipient." She has therefore asked the CCEE Stampers to create a card with more than a center fold. Think of a easel, pop-up, center step or shutter card.
I have created this oval flip card for my new great grandson! I used the Dancin' Santa (his legs swing back and forth) dies from Spellbinders and this fun sentiment from Rubberneckers. I "think" the Naughty or Nice dies are also from Spellbinders. The designer paper is from the Paper Studio.

As promised, my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored designs will be Christmas cards for the rest of the year. I have been working feverishly on Christmas cards for the last two weeks and this card is number 38. I still need at least that many more! This card is for my moose-loving friend who spends every September at Yellowstone moose watching. I always work a moose or two onto her holiday card.
Today's card features images from the following Kitchen Sink Stamps sets:
Christmas Poinsettia (sentiment)
The die cut window is Cathedral Window by Tim Holtz for Sizzix.

Maryann Einam, our CCEE Stampers challenge hostess says, " I love the simplicity of the a silhouette, and a lot of companies have them whether they are stamps or dies." She has requested that this week the CCEE Stampers create a card with a beautiful silhouette. She says it can be a scene or a stand-alone image.
Well, I LOVE silhouettes and love creating with them. Since I am WAY behind on my Christmas cards this year, I have made 10 copies of this card to add to my stash. This design was created using Tim Holtz Vault Series: Christmas 2021 while the sentiment is from Joyful Song by The Project Bin.
Linked below are the cards the CCEE DT created featuring silhouettes:
With Christmas fast approaching, I have used this weekend to get started on my Christmas cards for 2022. I am getting a very late start this year so expect my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored cards for upcoming weeks to all be Christmas designs. I'm finally in the Christmas spirit!
Today's card features images from Bear in the Woods and Snowy Pine Trees with a sentiment from Christmas Poinsettia.

It's a brand new month whick means it is time for a new hostess at the CCEE Stampers. Maryann Einam will be hosting the CCEE Challenges for the rest of the year.
According to the days of the year calendar, this week is walk your dog week. Walk you dog week is a week long holiday dedicated to bringing your dog a healthier lifestyle. Maryann has asked that the CCEE Stamps make a card with our furry friends in mind.
Time for me to get focused on Christmas cards so I pulled out an old favorite, Crazy Dogs by by Tim Holtz.
