February 2026 Card Chain Reveal

Hi crafty friends - the 2nd of the month has arrived! We're revealing cards that went round the world for the Card Chain Challenge. Twenty-four people participated in February and you can find the full reveal HERE. My card went to Joanne (Slices of Life) in CT USA who has been my lovely sender several times. I was glad to return the favor!!

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;

Paper Studio glitter; Lawn Fawn & BoBunny patterned

Dies - SSS Festive Tags (Stamptember-sold out);

AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - Hero Arts ephemera; SSS sentiment strip;

lace & silver cord from stash; Park Lane gems

We had the following options for creating our cards:

Color Palette Option

Sketch Option

Theme Options: Clouds / On The Farm / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Dies / Fussy Cutting

As you can see, I skipped the colors and sketch this time. I used the Friendship theme and the dies technique.

I've previously mentioned doing the Cardmaking Stash Summit at the end January. One of the challenge themes was friendship so I took the opportunity to make my CCC card! You also had to use something shiny & something you've avoided. My shiny was the glitter paper and the avoided item was the ephemera pack I used. It's been on the desk for a while and I didn't have inspiration for it until the Summit. I found the butterfly a home on a tag from last year's Tim Holtz class along with a strip of glitter paper and a printed sentiment from SSS. Assembled the tag and added it to a stitched rectangle on an A2 card. Some lace and silver cord, plus gems on the butterfly finished it off.

I received this beautiful card from Daja in Germany. I just love her sweet bunny and fancy fold!! Also, I was delighted that the card arrived so quickly - a Christmas card from Gundi took over a month!

Want to join the challenge? You only need to make and mail one card - easy peasy!! You can still sign up for the March Challenge until the 6th - go HERE for details. 

That's it for today. Thanks for visiting and have a crafty day!!
