Day 3 - One Layer Cards

There are so many wonderful papers, die cuts, ribbons, tags, textiles, and embellishments in the market that it has become very rare to find one-layer, handmade cards. I certainly don't make them anymore, and I certainly found today's challenge a Challenge!

YOUR TURN: Create a one layer card.

How To Hunt For Treasure

Last year we added a fun new game to our Month of Holiday Cards Challenge...

A Treasure Hunt!

To play, simply find the secret code word that has been posted somewhere in a previous November challenge. It will look similar to this (but without the highlighting):

Code words will only be posted somewhere in previous November challenges, but it could be from any of the last twelve years! I'll give you a clue at the start of each treatsure hunt so you have some idea of where to look. Once you've found the word, come back here and post it as a comment. The first person to do so will win a ticket in the final prize draw at the end of the month. Happy hunting!

Treasure Hunt Clue:

"12 months ago"

Once the winner has been announced, the code word will be deleted from the blog.

Another Winner!

I think I may have to choose harder elements next year...

these ones are being found so quickly!

Congratulations to...

YES YES YES the season can begin!
So glad we're being surprised again this year Beccy!

Day 2 - "B"

I enjoy colouring the sleigh bells with different markers to indicate particular types of metal. Today's effort uses several of the red-tinged E colours from my collection of alcohol markers for a warm and rustic vibe. The sentiment is made up of three individual stamps, stacked together and embossed with white to help break up the background.

YOUR TURN: Create a project using the letter "B" as your prompt.

It's currently in the process of being updated and will hopefully be ready within an hour or two... which is just enough time to make another card!

Month Of Holiday Cards Challenge

Welcome to the 13th annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge.

The November challenge is one of my favourite blog events, and although I no longer hold regular monthly challenges or operate a digital store, I simply couldn't retire this one or it wouldn't feel like the holidays! Having said that, I have made quite a few changes, which I hope won't deter you from playing along. Please read the conditions carefully to make sure your entry meets the guidelines and so that you know how everything will operate. Feel free to email or message me with any questions.

• Each day throughout November, I'll post an A-Z letter prompt and card idea to get you inspired. You then use the prompt to create your own holiday themed project, take a photo of it and upload it to the challenge. Remember though, there are only 26 letters in the alphabet, which means you'll find a few random challenges thrown into the mix!
• There's no limit on how many cards or projects you create but they must be created during the month of November 2025.
• All projects must be holiday themed (any holiday is acceptable).
• Participants will be playing for entry tickets to the prize draw at the end of the month. Each entry gives you one chance of winning, so the more entries you have, the more chances you have of winning one of the prizes at the end of the month.
• Prize Draw - after the challenge closes, all entry tickets will be placed into a bowl. Ten tickets will be drawn out winning each person a set of Beccy's Place clear stamps, posted to the address listed in their Beccy's Place account. (Only one prize per person; if a person who has already won is drawn again, a redraw for that prize will occur)
• Entries can be uploaded to the challenge from any hosted site including blogs, online galleries, Google photos, etc. If you do not have access to a hosted site, please feel free to email your photos to me and I will add them from the Beccy's Place Guest blog.
