8/3/25 - Dragonfly Challenge August 2025 Layers - Tractor & Co with Timeless Plaid

Happy Sunday and today’s card is share at Dragonfly Challenge and this month’s challenge is Layers. I did a unique fun fold card which added more layers onto the card – awesome, right?! I kept the color more on the netrual side because of the DSP, Basic Beige is slowly becoming one of my favorite base to use. I also used the border dies with Old Olive to create a ground for the tractor to be on. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

Cardbase – 5 ½” x 4 ¼”, cut 2” (or however long/short you would like the flap to be)
Outside Flap – 4” x 3 ½” scored at 3” (on the 3 ½” side) 

DSP – 2 1/8” x 5 7/8” & 3 7/8” x 2 7/8” (for a thinner borders)

7/6/25 - Dragonfly Challenge July Polygons - Pretty Floral with Squares

Happy Sunday everyone and welcome back to another monthly challenge here at Dragonfly and this month we are making Polygons cards. I decided to just go with 3 squares/blocks to create this Pretty Floral card. Each square is 1 ½” x 1 ½” inches and the layering Early Espresso is 1 ¾” x 1 ¾”. Flower is stamped with Pretty in Pink, as well as the cardstock, although the stamp image is darkers than it looks. I love the added details of the flowers too. The pink layering I added some subtle texture and a cute sentiment that’s perfect for your friend. Hope you enjoyed this card and join us at the challenge.

1/5/25 - Dragonfly Challenge Jan. 2025 Pink/Purple Colors - Painted Lavender Thanks

Happy first Sunday of the month and this is my first creation with Dragonfly Challenge as a Design Team Member! For this month we are making card with Purple/Pink colors and this is what I came up with. I use the current 2 new in-colors, Petunia Pop and Lady in Pink for this card. For some reason the stamped butterfly didn’t realy matched the DSP, perhaps it’s too juice. But I still hope that this card gives you some inspiration and that you will join us at the challenge.
