Fire or Rain Badge Winners

It's just as hard to pick a winner for a small challenge turnout as it is for a large one.  You end up with several that are so close but after counting the votes more than once, we had our First Class Card!

Congratulations to

Fire or Rain Card Challenge

Click >HERE< for the Favorite Holiday Badge Winners

Hello and welcome to our first card challenge for the month of November!!  This time around we are going to be playing with fire or rain!  Yes, that is the challenge theme:  "FIRE OR RAIN!"  We want to see your cards that are flat enough for mailing that feature either FIRE or RAIN or perhaps both if you can pull it off.  You can also use fire or rain colors instead of actual fire or rain for this challenge. We can't wait to see what you create!

And to inspire you and give you an idea of what we want, check out these fabulous cards by our Cards in Envy Designers!  For more details about each card, click on the blog name by each Designer's name.

Here are a few reminders about our challenge requirements:

• No lumpy, bumpy cards.  Elements on your card need to be relatively flat (no thicker than 1/4") so your card would fit in an envy (envelope) for mailing
• Limit entries to 3 per challenge.
• No Back Linking--cards must be posted to your blog or an online album during the challenge dates. If it was posted online BEFORE the beginning of our challenge, it cannot be linked.
• Entry must be for the current theme.
• Cards Only--NO TAGS

Additional rules can be found under the Challenge Guidelines tab at the top under our blog header.  Entries not following our rules and not for the current challenge theme will be deleted without notice or comment. We accept any size/shape of card BUT all cards must be flat enough to fit in an envy for mailing (no thicker than 1/4") which means no lumpy, bumpy embellishments. 

Challenge ends Sunday November 18, 2018  at 6:00 p.m. Central Time. 

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.
