June 2025 Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Hey there - once again it's time to reveal cards that went around the world for the Card Chain Challenge. Twenty people participated & you can see the entire June Chain reveal HERE. My card went to the talented Dagmara in Poland; she sent me a beautiful card in May so I was happy to reciprocate!

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White;

My Favorite Things Petite Gingham;

BoBunny Early Bird; Momenta Watercolor print;

Recollections blue cardstock

Dies - Memory Box Bella Bouquet (retired);

Hero Arts Tag Frame Infinity Dies (retired)

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - printed sentiment from stash

We had the following possible parameters for our card:

Color Palette Option:

Sketch Option:

Theme Options: Gingham / Something beginning with 'Tu' / Friendship

Product / Technique Options:  Wood  / Rip It Up 

The sketch reminded me of that technique Stack and Whack as shown by Natasha Foote (video 1099); I used it HERE last year. Fits perfectly with the Rip It Up technique option! I skipped the colors, wanting something more summery. And, of course, I used the theme of Friendship & managed to squeeze in some gingham paper.

I received the card below from Greta (GGCreations) in Oregon. Greta's an almost birthday twin and I've known her from the old Hero Arts group for over 15 years! So fun to get this beauty from her! And it was the second card she mailed - the first one never arrived - darn it. Must've taken the scenic route!! Anyway, thanks for sending another card, Greta, & if the first one ever shows up, I'll let you know!

That's it for today. If you'd like to join the July chain (only need to make and mail one card), go HERE for details by July 6th. Thanks for stopping & have a crafty day!!
