THE CHALLENGE

THE RULES

Charms and buttons, such as the bicycle one that came with this month’s kit, are a super-easy way to finish a card and make it look extra-special. With this in mind, we asked three designers to create a card featuring a silver-style owl charm. The card needs to be suitable for everyday greetings. They also had to stick to only the seven shades of stranded cotton we selected for them. Check out their cute results below – we’ve included a pattern for each design so you can stitch your favourite! We hope this inspires you to join in as well – turn the page to discover our challenge for the November issue!
