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.
If you plan on doing some crafty bargain shopping this week, Kitchen Sink Stamps has got a sale for you!! Here are the details:

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.
Here are more Fun Folds for you to check out:

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!

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.
With Kitchen Sink Monday falling on Halloween this year, I felt I needed to add one more Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored scary card to my Halloween mix.

He's about to find out!

Lynn McAuley here with the final CCEE Stampers Challenge for October.
Friday is International Animation Day. What joyful and action-packed entertainment has filled our lives through the talented creations of the world's amazing animators. In honor these animators' remarkable work, choose one of your favorite animated characters to feature on this week's CCEE design. How fabulous would it be if you included the name of the animator who created your character!
I have gone with the King of Animation, Walt Disney and his classic characters, Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design is going to a dear friend of mine who has an obsession with moose! I know she is going to love this 5 x 7 card!!

I also sponged the tiny leaves using the SVG cut Falling Leaves stencil and resized the maple leaf from the SVG Cut File for Big Leaves to create the leave-shaped window in the card front.
