Case me a Christmas Card with Jen Timko

Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card for 2021 - 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!

Picket Fence Studios x MFT collab!

 Hello! Today, I am taking part in a collab between Picket Fence Studios and My Favorite Things! MFT very kindly send me some inks, so of course, I had to make a rainbow! 

I painted a panel of watercolour paper with a rainbow of inks from My Favorite Things, and dried it. I then cut the frame using the die from Picket Fence Studios "You make this world better", and also cut 3 more layers from white cardstock and stacked them up. I stamped the sentiment from Picket Fence Studios "Watercolor roses", adhered the border around it, and then added Iridescent Moonshine sequins to the centre of each of the flowers. 

And then I had the little panel from the middle of the die left over, and it was a rainbow, so you know I couldn't throw it away! 

Make sure you visit the Picket Fence Studios blog and leave a comment - there are some gift vouchers to be won!

Rainbow flowers for Paper Rose

 Hello! Today, I'm sharing a one-layer card I made using stamps from Paper Rose Studio.

I created the rainbow background by swiping a rainbow of Hero Arts Reactive inks to one edge of a piece of watercolour paper. I then used a water brush to blend the colour and create the drips. I then stamped the flowers from Milly's Bouquet and a sentiment from the same set with a black pigment ink.
