Winter Holiday Cards in July Challenge -- 2014Some of us have gotten a head start on our holiday cards by participating in Cindi's Christmas All Year! Challenge. This month, I'm taking over for Cindi by offering our yearly Winter Holiday Cards in July Challenge.
The Challenge: You have almost a full month--July 3 through July 31--to post your new winter holiday cards in the appropriate Challenge Album in the gallery and link them to this Discussion Thread. (Since I don't even know how to do that here yet, I'll be very lax about that rule. I know we're all learning the ropes. However, you must report in on the discussion thread and tell us about your cards.) The challenge ends on July 31 at 11:59 pm PDT.
Remember you must enter only new cards--nothing you made or posted prior to July 3, the first day of the challenge. If you have a special technique you'd like to use that does not include stamping, your card will still count. It would be nice to combine stamping with other techniques, but sometimes that isn't feasible, and I want your cards to be something you will love. So your paste-embossed, embroidered, stenciled, Iris folded, etc. cards are welcome.
Requirements:1. Complete the tasks as described in this challenge.
2. When you post your card in the gallery, please label it with the name of the appropriate holiday and add the words "in July." For example, Christmas in July, Hanukkah in July, Kwanzaa in July, etc.
3. When you post your project in the gallery, describe it. Tell how you made it and what you used. Space is limited so feel free to streamline your comments. Maybe you could make a listing, for example:
- Stamps:
Cardstock/Papers:
Card Size:
Inks/Coloring Medium:
Accessories:
Technique:
I tried this out on the card I posted earlier, and it works fine. Check it out:
Bicycle Card Next, come back to this Discussion Thread to link your post here and to tell us how it went--the good and the bad. This is where we'll have the space we need to describe the process.
Combining Challenges:You can combine this challenge with another challenge as long as the host of the other challenge will also allow it.
Prize:
There will be a prize awarded at the end of the challenge. Your name will go into the hat once for every card you post in the gallery and link to the discussion thread. OK. I already know that the next question is do I get my name in the hat 10 times if I make 10 of the same card. I'll say you can get your name in the hat up to three times for multiples of the same design. Fair enough? There's no limit to the number of different cards you can post. You'll get credit for each different card.
I hope you'll join us and begin making your December holiday cards. We can inspire and motivate each other. Don't forget to have fun!
