August 2024 Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Hello and welcome! It's time to reveal the cards that went around the world for the August Card Chain. Twenty-four people participated and my card went to Arlene (A Bit of This and That) in California. You can see the entire chain revealed HERE.

Supplies: Paper - Hero Arts Dove A2 card;

Lawn Fawn Spring Perfectly Plaid; 

Doodlebug Swiss Dot; many scraps

Dies - My Favorite Things Fundamental Florals;

Poppystamps Flower and Leaf Sprinkles;

Spellbinders Four Petal Thank You Floral;

Hero Arts Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies;

Cheery Lynn Whistle a Happy Tune (retired);

A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Press Plate with Die - Spellbinders You Are Everything Sentiments

We had all sorts of fun options for August:

Color Palette Option

Sketch Option

Theme Options:  Music / Funny / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Tissue Paper / Rocker Card

As you can see, I picked something from every category! Did the colors, the sketch, theme of music & product of tissue paper. Loads of die cutting and a Betterpressed sentiment from the stash. It may be hard to see in the photo but my dotted heart has a tissue heart mat layer.

Those of you as "organized" as I am will appreciate this - wanted to use my Cheery Lynn treble clef die as soon as I saw the sketch & theme of music. Could I find it? No!! Searched high & low - no luck. Fortunately I had a bunch of clefs already die cut ages ago - many colors, including hot pink - perfect! I stacked 3 for dimension and stability.

Gail (Crafty Nomad) sent me a card from Norway but I think it went to China instead.... No worries - I'll post a photo here once I receive it. ** UPDATE 9/23 - card received!! Thanks for the darling card, Gail - plus the postcard of your sheep & the edger die!!

That's it for today. You can sign up for the September chain until the 6th; go HERE for details.

Thanks for stopping & have a crafty day!!
