Cafe Blackboard; CCC June

 

 

 Hello,

Its time for the reveal of the Card Chain Challenge cards that went around the world in June 2026 - they can all be seen HERE.

  

  All the cards exchanged in June used at least one of the following options:

 

Colour Palette Option

(Exact matching is not required.)

Sketch Option

(Orient as desired.)

Theme Options: Tea or Coffee / Safari / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Embossing / Shaped Card

 It's a worldwide chain and 25 people made up the chain this time.  I sent my card to Jo in UK and received this lovely card from Gail in Canada

 

 To join in the chain add your link to the list - you will send a card to the person who signed up before you. then wait to receive one from the person who signed up after you.  Don't worry, instructions are sent out to everyone who joins the chain  

 

My card for Jo

I chose the Tea or Coffee theme and Shaped Card from the Technique Options, 

and used one of my current favourite die sets to make a Cafe Blackboard card

I've used the chalkboard dies from Spellbinders' Pink Lemonade Die Bundle to make a shaped card for the Cafe Board, and various other old die sets (also Spellbinders) for the coffee pot, teapot, coffee beans and cup/saucer.  

The flowers are also in the Die Bundle and the swirly white 'chalked' pattern is a die from the 2024 Advent calendar.

The letters are (I think) from an old Sizzix alphabet set
