Case me a Christmas Card with Therese Calvird

Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card for 2020 - a slight variation on my annual Challenge me a Christmas Card blog series!

From October to December, I will link to a series of guest cardmakers on my blog. I will CASE one of their cards, and they will CASE one of mine! CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything - but it's not about just copying a card. It's about getting inspiration from cardmaking friends, but making a new card that is our own. And, of course, the card we each make has to be a Christmas card!

Today, my guest is Therese Calvird. I have CASEd two of her cards that you can check out HERE and HERE

 All of the products I used are linked below :)  



 This is the card I Cased for my first one:


And I couldn't resist Caseing another card!



 I used a Hero Arts Holly stamp that is discontinued, so I have linked to other stamps that I think would work well on a card like this.

This is the card I Cased: 

 

Ardyth came up with a genius acronym to help you make a Case of a card without making a direct copy of it - LIMES. I am going to be using this acronym for all my Cases from now on: 

List: White embossed foliage, matching dies, white sentiment on vellum, navy,

Include: white embossing, foliage, white sentiment on vellum

Modify: green, holly

Exclude: Navy, matching dies

Spin: ink blending around edge, sequins



Therese also made a CASE of one of my cards - you can find it HERE

 

Thanks for visiting :)
