March 2026 Card Chain Reveal

Hey everyone - it's time again for the Card Chain reveal; this time we're sharing cards that went around the world in March 2026. Twenty-five people participated & you can see the full reveal HERE. My card went to dear Jeanne in MN - we only live 30 minutes apart so I delivered the card in person & we went crafty shopping and had lunch out.


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Recollections A2 card & black cardstock;
Authentique & BoBunny patterns
Dies - Divinity Designs Quilted Triangles;
Lawn Fawn banner - can't remember which set;
words from stash - can't remember whose 

We had the following options when creating our March cards:

Color Palette Option

Sketch Option

Theme Options: Gnomes / House or Home / Friendship

Product / Technique Options:  Stamps / Patchwork

As usual, I chose the theme of friendship and this time I also used the technique of patchwork. I took that to mean patchwork quilt and used a quilt die. I die cut it 5 different times, mixed the patterns and made 5 quilts! This one was my fave. I assembled them all on a stitched rectangle and, since the quilt was a square, added a panel of one of the patterns to the bottom. Matted it and adhered to an A2 card base. A die cut "hello" and "friend" with a small banner comprised the sentiment.

I'm expecting a wonderful card from Gail in Norway. Gail helps run the Card Chain Challenge and does a great job! I'll add a photo once I receive the card but I told her to go ahead and reveal it so I can see it now! I'm helping my dad for a bit so I'll check the mail later this week...

That's it for today, friends. Want to play along? April sign-ups run until 4/6/26 - go HERE for details! You simply make and mail one card & then get one - so fun!!
