It's March and it's time to THINK GREEN!  This time we'd like to see A2 (4.5" x 5.5") cards that feature LOTS of green--different shades of green, all the same shade of green, either is okay just as long as GREEN is the predominant color of the card.  You can create any type of card for this challenge using lots of green and your card must be relatively flat for mailing in an envelope.

To inspire you, our Cards in Envy Designers have come up with various THINK GREEN cards!  We hope you enjoy them and that you will create a card for our challenge!

Through the Window Challenge

Congratulations to our Through the Window Challenge winners!

Congratulations! To receive your badge, email cardenvydt@gmail.com with First Class Window or Mailbox Window in your subject line as applicable. Thank you for playing with us at Cards in Envy!!

Hello and welcome back to another fun challenge here on Cards in Envy where we make A2 (4.25"x5.5") cards that fit in envelopes!

Our challenge this time is THROUGH THE WINDOW cards.  These are easy, peasy to make.  All you have to do is cut an opening on the front of your card so we can see what is on the inside of your card--like a little window peeking in.  Your "window" could be a circle, a square, a heart, a star or an actual window! It is up to you but just remember that your card cannot be a square card.  It must be the A2 size (4.25" x 5.5") and relatively flat so it fits in an envelope for mailing through the postal system.

Our designers have once again created some fabulous cards for our theme to give you plenty of inspiration! I know it's hard to see in photos, but all of these cards have a window opening that allows you to peek inside the card.
