Through the Window Challenge

Congratulations to our Through the Window Challenge winners!

FIRST CLASS goes to #3 Linda L.

IN THE MAILBOX are #2 Em, #7 Kris B, #10 Debi B and #11 Tracy F.

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.

Snow Buddy Like You! Challenge

Congratulations to our Snow Buddy Challenge winners!


First Class - #15 Lisa (The Purple Place)

In the Mailbox - #2 Asha, #4 Lorie Kobular, #14 Laura Love and #17 Dena J.

Please email cardenvydt@gmail.com with either First Class Snow or Mailbox Snow as applicable in your subject and we will send you a badge for your blog!



It's time for our first challenge for 2014!  And since many of us are experiencing winter weather, this time we are asking for cards that feature one or more SNOWMEN!

Please note that it's important that you follow our challenge rules.  We are a CARD challenge only.  All cards must be flat enough to fit in an envelope for mailing and must be the A2 size only (4.25" x 5.5")--NO SQUARE CARDS.

We appreciate those who follow along with our challenge requirements and while we are happy and thankful for all who join in on our challenge, we hope you understand that we do have to delete and remove links that do not fit our challenge or requirements.

Our Designers have created some awesome snowmen (or snow women) cards  to inspire you! I'm thrilled to see so many different and cute snowmen and card ideas.  Feel free to click on each designer's blog link and let them know if you visit their blog.
