Dia Daoibh!
It's that time again — the big reveal over at the Card Chain Challenge Blog.
Here’s the card I sent valiantly paddling its way to Pia in Norway — hopefully it remembered its arm bands — Hiya! 👋 And in return? I was utterly spoiled with a faaaabulous card that flew all the way from Linda in the USA — jet lag and all — Hiya! 👋
On to my card, so... For the July 2025 challenge I picked the theme: windows, and the technique / product option: Mirror Card (oooh shiny!).
I dusted off the Silhouette Cameo (now old enough to vote) and cut the Box Card Flower-Filled Mason Jar from Lori Whitlock. The 3-d jar is layered with flowers and leaves that were embossed, glittered, and generally zhuzhed to within an inch of their lives. The lid? Cut from mirror card for that fancy “ooh, shiney!” moment. I added acetate for the window so you can see all the floral fabulousness inside. Best bit? This wee mason jar folds flat for posting – I scaled it down a bit so it fits into a 5" x 7" envelope. Handy, right? I left the back (sentiment space) blank so it’s versatile – birthday, thank you, “sorry I ate your snacks” – it covers all emotional emergencies.
A few challenges:
- Creative Creases - July #105 Anything goes with a fun fold
- Cardz 4 Galz #255 Fun Folds
- Ellibelle's Garden Party #5 Anything in or from a Garden
- Paper Shelter #647 Anything Goes
- 2 Sisters On The Blog #98 - Flowers in a vase
I'm off now to join in the next Card Chain Challenge – it’s genuinely addictive (like Pringles… or craft stash… or washi tape you absolutely don’t need but definitely buy anyway).
Sending crafty love and envelope confetti worldwide 💌
Sláinte,

Glad you like my card, Wendy! Your bell jar card is adorable with its shiny lid and fun flowers!!
What a bright and fun jar full of colorful blooms, Wendy - no wonder that butterfly is fluttering about them wanting to get to the sweet honey ! Wonderful dimension inside the jar with those layers! Julia xx

What a fabulous shaped card Wendy - the floral mason jar is absolutely joyous! xx
Love this so much!
Lovely Silhouette-made card. My Cameo is likewise old enough to vote. I think she's even started having a drink or two--in the morning, no less! And that's why she has a hard time getting her chores done when I send her a list.
Lovely creation
Thanks for joining our challenge
