July 2023 Card Chain Reveal

Welcome! Today we're revealing cards that went round the world for the July 2023 Card Chain Challenge. Thirty-two people participated & you can see the full reveal HERE. My card went to Marianne (Marianne's cards 'n stuff) in Greece. 

Supplies: Paper - Paper Studio; BoBunny
Stamps - Hero Arts All Occasion Messages (retired)
Dies - Hero Arts Delicate Butterfly &
Other - Lawn Fawn flower sequin

We had the following choices when creating our card:

Color Palette Option

Sketch Option



Theme Options: Fish / Circles / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Buttons / Stitches

The last time this sketch was offered, I didn't use it. Thought it was high time to do so. Loved the color combo so used it, as well as the themes of circles & friendship. I used a HA butterfly die that I bought for the Spring Stamp Along & just love! The die cut circle was cut from a galaxy print that fades from peach to white, although it reads a bit blue at the bottom in the photo.... I trimmed an A2 card to a 4.25" square and added the dotted strips, then the other elements - done!

I received this beauty from Robyn (Waterlily Cards by Robyn) in Australia. I just love the bright yellow squiggle flowers against the dreamy background! Thanks Robyn & for the die cut bits too!!


Care to join in? You simply make and send one card, then receive one card. Sign-up for the August exchange continues until August 6th - full details HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a crafty day!!
