June 2026 Card Chain Reveal

Hi everyone - time again to reveal the cards we sent round the world in June for the Card Chain! Twenty-five people participated and you can see the full reveal HERE. My card went way to the East to Majda in Slovenija.


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Spellbinders & Tim Holtz Kraft Classic cardstock;
My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing patterned
Dies - Poppystamps Nordic Cozy Cup
Other - Hero Arts Enamel dots; 
Creative Expressions Wordies - Friendship

We had the following options in creating our cards:

Color Palette Option


Sketch Option


Theme Options: Tea or Coffee / Safari / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Embossing / Shaped Card

Clearly I skipped the color palette and embraced the sketch, plus the tea/coffee theme. I modified the sketch to an A2 card since since square cards aren't easy to mail from here. I die cut the cup and lace panels, plus a stitched rectangle, then assembled. Added a printed friendship sentiment and some enamel dots.

I received this beautiful card from dear friend Hilary in the UK. It's been four years since I had her as my sender in the Chain and I was very happy! I also shamelessly begged for some cuts of the sweet lilies of the valley that Hilary used for her March card. Thanks Hilary!!


That's it for today, friends. Want to join in for July? You only have to make & send one card. Go here for details by July 6th.
