September 2024 Card Chain Reveal

Hey there - welcome! I participated as usual in the Card Chain & today we're revealing the cards sent around the world in September! Twenty-eight people played and my card went to a second time player who also plays at Craft Roulette, Lyneen (I Am Dreaming of Castles) in Washington state. You can find the full reveal HERE.

Supplies: Paper - Hero Arts Dove A2 card
Pitch Black & Arctic cardstocks;
MFT Heavyweight Translucent Vellum; Neenah Solar White
Stamps w/Dies - Spellbinders Colorful Expressions Blossom (Dies)
3D Embossing Folder - Spellbinders Floral Expressions
Dies - Spellbinders Outlined Sentiments
Other - Copic Markers; foam tape

Here were the options for this month:

Color Option:

Sketch Option:
Theme Options: Egypt/Paws/Friendship

Product/Technique Options: Embossing Powder/Inlaid Die Cut

Hard to believe, I know, but I didn't use the colors or sketch as I typically do. Just wasn't feeling either of them. Luckily I went with the usual theme of friendship since I used dry embossing, not the product/technique of embossing powder - oops.

Die cut a rectangle from HA Arctic cardstock (LOVE it!) and dry embossed it with the floral 3D folder from August 2024 Spellbinders Clubs. Stamped, die cut & colored the floral arch from the same series. Popped the arch with foam tape onto the embossed panel, matted in black then adhered to top fold A2 card. Die cut the sentiment - outline from vellum & letters from black, then assembled. Stamped and die cut the subsentiment. Arranged sentiments on card - done!

I received this lovely card from Joanne (Slices of Life). I just love the embossed ink-blended background & sheer ribbon!! Thanks Joanne!


Come and join us - it's fun & easy! Simply make one card and mail it, then receive one card from the next person in the chain. Sign up by 10/06/24 to play in October - details HERE.

Thanks for stopping & have a crafty day!!

Everything on your card design blends so nicely together Linda - LOVE that blue on your embossed background. Your arch with the dogwood (?) branch is colored beautifully! Julia xx

This is beautiful. Love how you offset the arch and that embossed background. Stunning colours too. The pops of black add lovely contrast xx
