Blog Challenge Winners - November 2021

Good evening everyone.

Just to let you know details of November's Challenge will be with you shortly.

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog - December 2021

Today sees the start of our new challenge.

Before that I would like to say thank you for supporting our challenge for another year.  The last few years has been an awful time for the world so for a lot of us our crafting helps us get through these hard times.

Sadly we are losing aNNie from the Blog Design Team.  We thank her for all of her wonderful creations and wish her all the very best for the future.

Ching-Chou Kuik, the Design Team and myself would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and crafty New Year.

As mentioned recently there is going to be a slight change to the Blog Challenge from May 2021.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
If you are entering the challenge and use another company's image the challenge for December 2021 is:

"'TIS THE SEASON eg CHRISTMAS or WINTER".
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
If you are entering the challenge using a Ching-Chou Kuik image your challenge for December 2021 is:

"'TIS THE SEASON eg CHRISTMAS or WINTER" or you can choose the topic "ANYTHING GOES".

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Time to show you now the cards/creations made by the Blog Design Team.

The "rules" of the monthly challenge are very basic and can be found in the blog sidebar or in a page at the top of the blog.

It would be lovely if you could play along with the challenge this month.

*****************************************

You might or might not be aware but they have been some stunning additions to the Etsy Store recently and these include:

This image is called "Autumn Leaves".

You will receive a black-and-white image and a partially coloured image by Ching-Chou Kuik herself.

There is an amazing array of beautiful digital stamps in the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Etsy Store.  They include black-and-white images, greyscale images, partially coloured images and fully coloured images.

Why don't you pop on over and take a look?

There is also a Facebook Group where all new members are very welcome. The Facebook Group can be found HERE.  Here crafters will share their creations made with a Ching-Chou Kuik image.  On the Facebook Group there will also be the details of the monthly Facebook Challenge and details of any sales etc.

 Ching-Chou Kuik is now a proud sponsor over at the Crafting of Hue Facebook Group.

Why not pop on over and take a look. 

Over at Kit and Clowder you will find details of various on-line classes that you can buy and participate in.  Ching-Chou Kuik is one of the sponsors.  

If you want to find out a bit more about colouring techniques pop on over to Kit and Clowder and have a look.

**************************************************************

To enter this challenge you need to use a rubber stamp or digital stamp (black-and-white/greyscale or partially pre-coloured or fully coloured in images). 

Just coloured in images are NOT allowed and need to be made into a card/project to enter the challenge.

NO fully digital cards are allowed. 

Please remember when linking to this challenge you MUST link to your blog post and not just your actual blog.  

As you have taken the time to create something to enter into the challenge the Design Team members like to leave you comments but this is made more difficult when they have to look through your blog to find the right card/creation to comment on.  

Thank you for your understanding.  

We look forward to see your creations this month.

Julie O's Inspiration Post

Hello, fellow crafters!  Have you entered the November challenge yet?  The theme is Remembrance/Thanksgiving/Thinking of You or Thank you.  This is Julie O with you today, and I'd love to see what you create with one of these themes. You'll find many gorgeous images in the GJZCCK Etsy Shop.

Speaking of gorgeous images, I colored up the greyscale image called The Cutie.  It was the freebie for those that entered the Ching-Chou Kuik Facebook Challenge for the 7th anniversary celebration last month.  I hope you were able to grab it for yourself!

The design team was given the added challenge of creating a shabby chic or distressed card, so I distressed the edges of the designer paper on this card. For all the details, please visit my blog.

More more great inspiration, visit this blog often and often check out the Facebook group for another challenge and of course, inspiration.

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Blog Design Team Call - November 2021

Hello everyone. 

We have just celebrated our 7^th anniversary for the Ching-Chou Kuik Blog Challenge and Facebook Challenge.

Sadly we are losing the very talented Bonnie and aNNie from the Blog Design Team (DT) shortly and as we were a few Design Team members short on the Blog and Facebook Design Teams we are doing a Design Team Call.

 I am therefore looking for FOUR new Design Team members for the Blog DT.

The Design Team commitments are:

·       The Design Team commitment is 3 cards/creations a month using Ching-Chou Kuik’s Digital Stamps.

 ·       For WEEK ONE/MONTHLY BLOG CHALLENGE you will get to choose one image from the Etsy Store to use for the Blog/your Week One Inspiration Post.

·       For WEEK TWO and WEEK THREE you will know well ahead of time the topics so you can request images.

·       ALL of the topics for 2022 will be going on a Closed Ching-Chou Kuik Facebook Group shortly and images can be requested when the “Event” goes on the Facebook Group so even though you are just applying for the Blog Design Team you will need to have a working knowledge of Facebook.

 ·       You will have a specific day to post on your blog and the Inspiration and Challenge Blog and also the main Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Facebook page. 

·       You will have to comment on specific entries to the Monthly Challenge on the Inspiration and Challenge Blog and these will be given to you if you become a DT member.

·       As I have said you need to have a knowledge of Facebook as there is a closed CCK Blog/Facebook DT Group where we natter, put our request for images on the Events pages and show anything we make. 

WHAT YOU WILL GET IN RETURN FOR BEING A CHING-CHOU KUIK DIGITAL STAMPS DESIGN TEAM MEMBER

In return for being a Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Design Team Member you will get the following:

·       A Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps Design Team Badge to put at the sidebar of your blog that Ching-Chou Kuik will make for you.

·       Ching-Chou Kuik will design a watermark for you to use on your cards/creations that you make for the Blog Design Team.  All DT members need to use the watermark made for them.

·       Three Ching-Chou Kuik’s Digital Stamps every month that you will use for your WEEK ONE/MONTHLY CHALLENGE, WEEK TWO Inspiration Post and the WEEK THREE Inspiration Post.

·       For the Blog DT you have the option of making an “anything goes” project for WEEK FOUR.  This helps to promote Ching-Chou Kuik’s images and helps you to build and admire your collection of images.  PLEASE NOTE:  This is OPTIONAL.  Your only commitment is for your THREE projects for the Blog Design Team.

·       15% off on all Etsy store items (when you have got your code please keep it safe and use when placing an order.  This code is for DT Members only.)

 ·       Being part of a lovely and friendly Design Team from all around the world.

Well I think that is about it.  If you would like to join the Blog Design Team please click the link below as we would lovely to have you join our friendly and ever so talented Design Team.

This Design Team call will remain open until 30 NOVEMBER 2021.
