August 2025 Card Chain Reveal

Hello friends - looking forward to Fall? I am! Today we're revealing cards sent around the world for the August 2025 Card Chain Challenge. Twenty-six people participated and you can find the full reveal HERE. My card went to the talented Pia (Pias Papir og Perler) in Norway:

Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders A2 card;

Poptone x; Neenah Solar White; scrap of purple

Stamps with dies - Stampendous Indigo Cats (retired)

Dies - Spellbinders Colorful Expressions Sentiments (DOM-AUG24);

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Embossing folder - x

Other - Recollections puffy word stickers;

Copic Markers; printed subsentiment strip (SSS?)

We had the usual four sets of options when creating our cards:

Color Palette Option

Sketch Option

Theme Options: Tropical / Triangles / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Paint / Stenciling

I wasn't sure about the color palette but, when I saw the triangle theme, I remembered a fave Laurel Burch cat image. Suddenly, the colors would totally work! Stamped and colored the cat with Copic Markers, then die cut. 

I thought I had a triangle embossing folder and went searching - no luck! Ended up finding an ancient, unopened set from Lifestyle (remember them?) which had a triangle flag banner. Die cut a fuchsia A2 panel with a stitched rectangle and embossed it. Adhered to a Spellbinders white A2 card. Added the cat with a subsentiment strip tucked at the bottom. Die cut the word "friend" plus outline & added to the card along with three puffy stickers.

I received this lovely card from Jo (Jo's Blogs) in the UK. I just love her take on the colors and theme of triangles!! Thanks too, Jo, for the lovely vellum butterflies!!
