April 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 April 2026. Twenty-two people participated & you can see the full reveal HERE. My card went to Gail in Norway. I mailed it extra early, hoping she'd get it close to Easter - nope, not til the 17th of April. It took the scenic route!


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Paper Studio Cardstock;
Lawn Fawn Petite Watercolor Wishes
Dies - Spellbinders Simon Hurley Bunny Buddies;
Gina K. Designs Spring Forest;
Scrapbook.com Nested Stitched Clouds;
Lawn Fawn Grassy Border;
Poppystamps Folk Decorated Eggs (retired)
Other - Recollections puffy word stickers;
foam tape

We had the following options when creating our April cards:

Color Palette Option


Sketch Option


Theme Options: Long Ears / Spring / Friendship

Product / Technique Options:  Bookpaper / Fancy Edges (ripped, die cut, embossed etc)

As usual, I chose the theme of friendship and added the long ears and Spring themes too! This time I also tackled the rather unusual sketch, deciding the party hat/Christmas tree-ish element could be a bunny on an egg pile. What do you think?

All I had to do was die cut and assemble all the elements & add to an A2 card. Lots of little bits but so fun to do while watching tv! I made this bunny at the same time as the ones I shared on my Easter post - love these little cuties!! And the Poppystamps eggs are longtime faves of mine; I used four of them for the sentiment element.

I received a wonderful card from Joanne in the UK. I just love the ray background and the sweet duck with the long earred pup!! Many thanks, Joanne!!


That's it for today, friends. Want to play along? May sign-ups run until 5/6/26 - go HERE for details! You simply make and mail one card & then get one - so much fun!!

What an adorable bunny die Linda! Lovely card, I’m sure Gail enjoyed it even a bit after Easter. Glad you got a smile from pup and duckling!

No matter where I mail cards to - even three towns over from me - more and more seem to get lost, or arrive in 3 weeks instead of a few days - drives me nuts! What a sweet little bunny, Linda, sitting on the nest of colorful eggs in the warm sunshine! Hopefully it portends that spring will arrive some day here in the Eastern US! Julia xx

Your bunny card is adorable, Linda! Gail got your April card a lot quicker than the one I sent for Christmas! I think it went around the world twice before deciding to stop at her mailbox!

Jean said...

What a cute little bunny! This is a sweet card and I'll bet she didn't mind one bit that it took a while getting to her!
