Twelve Card Challenge, June 2022 (Q2)

I started the twelve-card challenge last year, with a little nudge from joblackford. I wanted to try to make all of my Christmas cards, and I thought I could do it with the itty bitty goal of 12 cards per month. I think I made it through July before I couldn't make any more time to craft, but that's still a lot of cards!

What's the challenge? Make 12 cards each month.

That's it? That's it.

Do they have to be Christmas cards? Nope. Make whatever you like.

Can I make more than 12? If you have the time, motivation, and energy, you bet!

Do they have to be the same card? Nope. (I find that if you make A2 cards 8.5x11 cardstock divides nicely for multiples of 4, and 12x12 paper divides into 6 pieces, so I usually make identical cards when I make multiples... but you should make what you like.)

Do I have to post them here? Nope. Not required, but it's always fun to see others' work.

Can I earn points? You betcha.  

• 1 point for each card you make, whether 1 or 20.
• If you hit the magical dozen, take 8 bonus points-- so your first dozen cards are worth 20 points total.
• If you make two dozen, you can have another 8 bonus points. (So, 20 points total per dozen available.)
• More bonus points: find a way to incorporate the monthly theme (found in the Donna challenge ) and earn another 10 points (per dozen). (This replaces my monthly prompt for bonus points, but I will include it in my monthly posts. I try to provide some suggestions for using the prompt in case you get stuck, but you can incorporate the theme however you’d like.)
  
• New for 2022: If you complete this challenge (i.e., make 12 cards) for all three months in a quarter, you also earn 50 bonus points.

Wait, what are points? Read about joining a team here, or contact grammadee for more team info. Sign ups are quarterly this year, so Q2 sign up is closed, but you do NOT need to join a team to play along.

June Theme: On the Move

Suggestions for incorporating this theme with cards:

• Create a new home/residence card for someone.  (Doesn't have to be a house they're moving to.)
• Are you moving?  How about some cards with your new address?
• It's graduation time.  Do you have a high school graduate moving on to college?  How about using their new college colors in some cards?  Do you have a college grad moving on to the "real" world with a grown up job?  How about some encouragement cards?
• Create a card with a moving element: sliders, spinners, pull cards, etc.  Lots of companies have dies for those kinds of cards-- maybe you just needed an excuse to pull yours out.   

Don't forget: this is the end of Quarter 2.  If you're playing on a team, remember you can earn bonus points if you completed all 3 twelve card challenges (April, May, and June).
