It’s time to kick off our monthly challenge for May! Our challenges begin on the second Friday of each month, and each month has a different theme. We hope you’ll use it as inspiration to create a card!
This month’s theme is: Nature! The weather outside is hopefully getting nicer where you are. Bring some of the great outdoors onto your card and use something inspired by nature. It can be more cute critters, flowers, plants, trees, clouds – whatever you are inspired to use with our challenge theme of NATURE.
CHALLENGE RULES!
- Pink & Main products must be used on challenge entries.
- Cards must be a NEW creation, created specifically for this challenge.
- Enter as many times as you’d like.
Enter your cards for this month’s challenge in one of two ways: in the Inlinkz link-up at the bottom of this post, or in the May challenge album in the Pink & Main Creations Gallery Facebook Group. Enter for a chance to win a Pink & Main store credit worth $25.
Submissions close on Wednesday, June 10 at 11:59pm ET. The winning entry will be selected randomly and posted with the next new challenge blog post.
Now let’s check out the inspiration from our Challenge Team. But first, let’s welcome our new team member!
Hi my name is Karidan Jackson and I have having a blast in this amazing industry! I started making cards one Mother’s Day after thinking cards were too expensive and well now we all know I have way more in supplies 🤦🏻♀️. My love is Christmas cards though and I will always be down for a Christmas card!
For her Challenge Team debut, she combined the Ribbons and Bows Frames Dies with the Chirp Chirp Hooray stamp set for this darling card!
Brennan hit home the green aspect of the nature theme with this beautiful tone on tone card, featuring the Aloha Flowers stamp set.
Dominique used the Greenhouse Pop Up Card Dies for her card, and showed that even though the dies were designed to create a “pop up”, you can also use elements from the set on a standard flat card!
Jennifer used the Floral Frame stamp and dies for her nature-inspired card. We’re inspired by her beautiful OLO marker coloring!
Michelle used the new Note Pages Dies on her card, and combined it with images from Planter Friends. We also love the combination of Fun Basics and Bugs and Berries patterned paper packs!
Rosie also used the Bugs and Berries paper pack – it has so many great patterns! Her focal point comes from the Ladybug Dies. That fun shape was created with the Season of Gratitude Dies.
We loved seeing all of your cute critter creations from the April challenge! We randomly chose a winner from all of the entries – congratulations to Gale Knight! Please send us an email to support@pinkandmain.com to claim your $25 store credit!
Now it’s your turn, we hope you’ll play along! You have until Wednesday, June 10 at 11:59pm ET to add your link to your NEW CREATION FEATURING PINK & MAIN PRODUCTS using our theme to be eligible for the prize of a $25 store credit. (Cards created prior to this challenge are not acceptable entries.) The winner will be chosen at random, so everyone has a chance! Simply post your card photo someplace with public access – a blog, social media post, or host site that displays your entry – and add it into the Inlinkz link-up below. OR, add it to the May album in the Pink & Main Creations Gallery Facebook Group.
Good luck and have fun playing!
