Dia Daoibh!
June’s Card Chain Challenge has come and gone — and sure wasn’t it a beauty! For the June 2025 round, I joined in the fun and picked the colour palette option: a dreamy blend of coffee, cream, and platinum. I also followed the theme of Friendship — which felt perfect, as I was crafting a cheerful 'hello' to a new friend.
I used a fab die cut design from the Silhouette Design Store (help, I might be hooked 😁). The “hello” sentiment was stacked up like a proper Victoria sponge — lovely and layered! I added some gems and pearls too, because who doesn’t love a bit of sparkle?
My card headed off to Arlene in the USA (hiya Arlene! 👋) — fingers crossed it brought a big smile when she found it in her letterbox… or mailbox… or postal cubby of joy (whatever they call it across the Atlantic — you know the one!).... Now for the cherry on top — I received an absolutely fab card from Hilary in the UK (hiya Hilary! 👋), and let me tell you, it was a treat! It’s always such a buzz getting happy mail that isn’t a bill, a flyer, or a suspicious letter from "Revenue".
Onto a few challenges:
- I Spy with My Little Eye #27 - vintage Vibes
- Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Sending Flowers
- Girlz Creative Crafts #57 - Butterflies
- Triple B - June - Anything with Birds, Blooms and/or Butterflies (optional mood board)
- A Perfect Time To Craft - Always Anything Goes
- The Creative Crafters #89 - Always Anything Goes
- Beautiful Blossoms #30 - Anything Flowers Goes (optional mood board)
Honestly, it’s such a delight being part of this crafty circle. If you haven’t joined the Card Chain Challenge yet, you’re missing out on the best kind of post: happy mail with a handmade hug inside. 💌

Just love your take on the color palette, Wendy! Lovely cut from Silhouette too (I need to use mine more...). So glad you've joined the Card Chain; I'm looking forward to sending to you for July!
What a lovely card you created for the challenge Wendy! And welcome to the exchange! I've been joining in for several years - but missed the last two months due to shoulder surgery - but I'm back to creating now! Love the platinum mixed with your colors - the lovely scalloped framing and your layered die cuts on top - love that bow! Julia xx
Your card is perfect and I love those colours. I am so glad that you are enjoying being part of the card chain challenge. It is quite addictive and quite challenging at times. I am struggling with my July card xx
Aw, thanks so much, Linda! 🥰 Honestly, the Silhouette was giving me the side-eye from the shelf, so I had to remind it who’s boss. 😂 I’m so excited to be part of the Card Chain, and I can’t wait to see what gorgeousness you send my way in July. 💌✨
Thank you so much, Julia! 🥰 I’m so glad you’re back in the crafty saddle after your shoulder adventure—clearly your creative mojo didn’t skip a beat! I’m still trying to convince my die cuts to behave and not fling themselves onto the floor mid-project… but at least the bow cooperated this time. 😂Can’t wait to keep swapping cards with you—so happy to be part of this fabulous exchange! 💌✨
Aww, thank you! 🥰 Honestly, this card chain is more addictive than a sale on craft supplies—I’m already in too deep! 😂 And oh, the July card… I’ve had several heated arguments with my scissors and a minor standoff with the glue. So far, they’re all conspiring against me. Hang in there—your masterpiece will emerge victorious (even if it requires bribing it with chocolate)! xx
Love your card, Wendy! I always love a beautiful butterfly and this one is just gorgeous. Thanks for playing along and being a lovely link in our chain - so glad you found us, Jo x
Very pretty image - love the neutral colour scheme. Thanks for sharing with us at Beautiful Blossoms :)
