You're the Man Card Challenge

Click >HERE< for the Favorite Color Combo Badge Winners!


Hello and welcome to another Cards in Envy Card Challenge!  With Father's Day soon to be here, we are looking for masculine cards for our "You're the Man" card challenge.  Your card does not have to be for Father's Day but it does have to be manly, masculine and for a guy.  Cards may be any size, any shape but must be flat enough to fit in an envelope for mailing.

Our designers have come up with a fabulous assortment of cards for this "You're the Man" card challenge.  Please click on the blog name by each designers' name for more details about their card and while visiting their blog, be sure to leave some comment love so they know you stopped by.

Our Designers will be voting on the cards after the challenge ends and the winners will be announced by Wednesday morning  following the close of the challenge.. We will have one FIRST CLASS which is the card that receives the most votes from the Designers and considered the best overall card for the theme.  The Designers will also pick one card as their personal favorite for an IN THE MAILBOX badge. That means we may have up to 10 In the Mailbox cards for a challenge.  We decided to go with this fun method as each Designer has their own unique style and preference.  Each chosen may grab one of our fun badges for their blog! The badges for the challenge will be in the winners post following the close of the challenge after all the Designer votes are in.  The winners will also be announced on our Facebook Page, so come Like us so you'll know quickly if you are a winner.

Motherly Love Card Challenge

Click >HERE< for the badge winners of the Pretty Pastels Card Challenge!

It's time for a new card challenge!  And since Mother's Day will soon be here, we thought we'd give those of you who do create Mother's Day cards a chance to share them. BUT even if you don't create a card for Mother's Day we want to see what you create that represents "Motherly Love."  So...for this challenge, share your Mother's Day cards and/or share your card that depicts Motherly Love--a mom with a baby or children, animal moms with their little ones or maybe a character with other small creatures or pets they care for.  There are so many wonderful images out there for cardmaking that depict "motherly love." Let's see yours. 

Once again, our designers have created a wonderful variety of style and interpretation of the challenge to give you some great ideas and inspiration. Please visit their blog links (by their name) for more details about their card creation and leave some comment love while there. We'd really appreciate it and would love to know you stopped by.
