Hello! Welcome to another challenge here at Cards in Envy!

Our challenge theme this time is: Red, Pink and/or White

Yes, we know that Valentine's is over and done but maybe you're still in the mood to create a card that's red or pink or all white or all three colors.  You can create a card that's for a birthday, for an anniversary, a wedding, thinking of you----any type of card as long as your card is an A2 size (4.25" x 5.5") AND it's flat enough to fit in an envelope for mailing.

To inspire you, the Cards in Envy Designers created these fabulous cards for our Red, Pink and/or White challenge!

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.
