The Paper Funday Challenge - July 2026

Hello Friends and Happy July 1st! It's a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog and we have a fun optional Twist and 2 generous sponsors this month.  Our optional Twist for July is Summer Splash and our sponsors are Taylored Expressions and Simon Says Stamp!  

For my team project, I've used the Nature's Canvas Set, which was originally released as a kit, from Taylored Expressions.  The kit includes stamps, coordinating dies and stencils, a cover plate die along with sentiment stamps.  The items are now sold separately and available HERE.


I've stamped and colored the floral using the coordinating stencils and distress inks, then cut out with the coordinating die.  I've created a mini oval tag for a backdrop that has been ink smooshed and tied off with Baker's Twine.  The plaid paper is from a Plaid Stack by Recollections.


The sentiment is from the kit, and has been popped on foam pads, along with the floral.  Lastly, I've added purple Dazzles to complete the design.  There's something about plaids that I love, and the colors in this paper appeal to the Purple lover in me.

The team and I hope you'll join us at the Challenge this month.  We love seeing everyone's creativity and we hope to inspire you with our designs.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna

  10. A beautiful card Donna - so nice to be reminded that it is mid-summer somewhere in the world, and the flowers are blooming... mid-winter is proving rather cold and drear here!
