We had lots of lovely submissions, but sadly some didn't fit with the theme. However, we were able to pick the following Honourable Mentions.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS

July Technique Challenge

It's Saturday again and I'm back with your weekly Christmas card challenge.
This week it's the turn of the technique and this week we would like you to create a Christmas card that's not just a piece of card stock folded in half to make a square or rectangle but has two or more folds in it.


We can't wait to see all your fabulous creations but first take a look at the work from the design team - it might give you a few ideas for your own cards!
 You have until midnight British Summer Time/7:00 p.m. Eastern time Friday July 29th  to link your card.  Happy crafting!
