Make a Wish (DTC #224 )





Double Trouble Challenge #224 is up on the blog awaiting your projects. This biweekly challenge runs through Sunday, September 13, 2026. 

As is customary, Trouble Maker has a required 3-2-1 Recipe ready to follow. Because National Trail Mix Day, aka GORP Day, fell on Monday, August 31, 2026, she is looking for a yummy mix of elements.

Here is how I completed Thing 1's REQUIREMENTS:

AT LEAST
3  -  Patterned papers
Two panels on the front of the card and the yellow butterfly make up three different patterns.
2  -  Colors
My card is primarily blue and pink.
1  -  Image
Each butterfly is an image.

THING #3 OPTION
Twisted Sister noticed that September is National Sewing Month. Her "twist" is to include stitching on your project. Doubling up the two oval dies created a stitch-like appearance.
THING #2 OPTION

Above is Sketch #703 from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch on Tuesday, effective on Tuesday, September 1, 2026. If you use the sketch, you will earn additional chances in our random drawing. This sketch inspired my card, and to adhere to back-linking rules, I will submit a new card to TSOT.

The inside of the card was lined with a white cardstock panel, then decorated with a few small fussy-cut leaves and coordinating paper. 

The Design Team invites you to visit the Double Trouble Blog to enjoy their cards and review the challenge guidelines.

  1. Soft and pretty papers that work really well together. The butterflies look as if they are flying off the card.
