Case me a Christmas Card with Ardyth Percy Robb

Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card for 2022 - 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 either Copy And Share Everything, or Copy And Selectively Edit. 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!

Background

In November 2016, I started this a little series on my blog. It started with me wanting to challenge myself to step outside my comfort zone with my Christmas cardmaking, so I asked friends to challenge me to do something different. 2016 challenges included using embroidery thread on a card, making a food themed card, making a geeky Christmas card (it had the Tardis on it) and making a dinosaur themed card. 

In 2017, I asked some of my cardmaking friends to join me with these challenges. Then, in 2020, I changed things up a bit by asking each of my guests to CASE one of my cards and I would CASE one of theirs. Ardyth Percy Robb made a video in 2020 (linked here) of a 5 step process that I use all the time when I am making a CASE of anybody's card, so I encourage you to check out her video!

(Sadly, the scalloped edge punch I used is discontinued, but you could use a scalloped edge die instead.)

Stamptember - Paper Rose

Did you manage to get the must-have Stamptember collab set between Simon Says Stamp and Paper Rose? It is now sold out, so I hope you managed to nab one! I paired with with the Scandi Circle stencil from Paper Rose, then added some white gel pen highlights.

Hello card for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a super simple hello card.

I created a panel of yupo with alcohol inks, and cut it down to create a vertical stripe on my card. I cut the hello layered oval die from white cardstock three times and layered them up before adhering over my yupo panel.
