and the reverse side:

The card construction time is lengthy for this but the set of heart swing-fold card bases does come with the pattern pieces on the back side of the product label. And using coordinating papers from 2 sets by Stampin' Up also helped make the different sections visually interesting.

We are growing a family of farm country challenges!

FarmQuest General Store offers an offset month-long anything farm and/or country (rural) topics theme competitions. FQGS' current challenge started on November 7 and will end December 5, 2023.

Then the next one will open for deliveries on December 7 and continue into the new year to end on January 5, 2024.

FarmQuest Country Christmas offers the same offset month-long competition period however it focuses on outdoor holiday decorations and those serene snowy landscapes and wintery settings with nature's elements like pine cones, pine branches, mistletoe, deer, rabbits, etc. 

The formats at FQCCCB are a bit different. To keep with the Christmas holiday season, the formats for FQCCCB are cards, gift tags, package toppers (for candy bags, donut boxes, super large boxes, etc.), and gift card/money holders!

How fun is that!

FQCCCB is still open until December 5 and will reopen on December 7-January 5, 2024.
