It’s time to kick off our monthly challenge for June! Our challenges begin on the second Friday of each month, and each month will have a different theme. We hope you’ll use it as inspiration to create a card!
This month’s theme is: Sunny & Bright Cards!
Summer is here and the sun is out – so let’s reflect that in our cards! This month we want to see bright and sunny creations. You can take this literally, and include an image of a sun. Or just use a color palette or images that remind you of all things sunny, bright, and summery!
Pink & Main products are encouraged on your challenge card, but not required. We just want to see what this month’s theme inspires you to create! You can 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 June album in our Pink & Main Creations Gallery Facebook Group. Enter for a chance to win a Pink & Main store credit worth $25.
Submissions close on Wednesday, July 9 at 11:59pm ET. The winning entry will be selected randomly and posted with the next new challenge blog post.
Let’s take a look at what our Pink & Main Challenge Team created with this month’s theme…
Brennan’s summery card features the Bugs & Berries stamp set. He used Gold CheerFoil on a Fun Flowers Foilables Panel, then ink blended over it. It’s a good reminder that you don’t need to leave your foiled panels as-is. Add a little ink, too!
Dominique used the adorable heart-shaped bug option in the Ladybug Dies set, in fun, happy colors! Her greeting is from the Let’s Celebrate stamp set, and she set her scene with the Cloudy Day Stencil.
Jennifer’s adorable card features the Fun Froggies stamps and dies. We love how she used a bit of the Watercolor Spring Paper Pack to create a border along the bottom edge.
June was all about the summer fruits! Her main image is from the Summer Fruits Bundle, and she paired it with Summer Fruits 6×6 Paper Pad and Summer Fruits Glitter Enamel Dots. Using the Many Flowers Embossing Folder on her patterned paper is a nice touch!
Lee’s sweet creation also used the Many Flower Embossing Folder as a subtle touch in the background, but the star of her show is the Bugs & Berries stamp set! She colored them and placed them on branches from the Ladybug Dies set. Her card layout was made easy with the Card Cut Essentials Set 3 Dies, with red gingham paper from the Bugs & Berries Paper Pack.
And finally, a sweet Flower Greenhouse card from Rosie! Her colorful card shows that this “pop up” die set can be used equally well on the front of a regular A2 card, no 3D elements required!
We loved seeing all of your masculine cards from the May challenge! We randomly chose a winner from all of the entries – congratulations to Christine Boyle, who submitted her card to the album in the Creations Gallery on Facebook! 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, July 9 at 11:59pm ET to add your link to your NEW CREATION with the “Sunny & Bright” 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 June 2025 album in the Pink & Main Creations Gallery Facebook Group.
If you’re new to playing along with a challenge and uploading via Inlinkz, Brennan has kindly created a little video to walk you through the process. Watch it below, or HERE on YouTube.
Good luck and have fun playing!
