Case me a Christmas Card with Nicole Petersen

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!

Today's guest

Today, my guest is Nicole Petersen. I have CASEd one of her cards that you can check out HERE.

 All of the products I used are linked below :) 

My card uses the following elements from Nicole's card - repetition of images, teal and yellow, a black stamped sentiment in the top right, and a slimline landscape card (mine is mini slimline).

This is the card I Cased: 

 

I was also inspired by a card by Ilda Dias which you can find HERE

Nicole also Cased one of my cards - you can find it in the Picket Fence Studios Community on Facebook.

White baubles for Paper Rose Studio

 Hello! Today, I'm sharing a Christmas card with non-traditional colours for Paper Rose Studio.

 

 I started with a panel of watercolour paper, and I added some Hero Arts Reactive ink in the colours Taffy, Splash and Grape Slush, directly from the ink pads to the paper. I then sprayed some water and spread the ink around with a paint brush. 

I cut the baubles from the Christmas Baubles background die from white cardstock and cut the little bauble tops from silver mirror cardstock, before adhering them to the card. I drew in the curly strings with silver gel pen, and then spattered the whole panel with paper glitz mixed with water, before adhering the panel to a white card front and adding a printed sentiment from Crisp Christmas Sentiments.

 All of the products I used are linked below :)  (the Merry word die is from The Big, the Bold, the Merry from Winnie and Walter. Sadly, Winnie and Walter are no longer in business, so I have linked to some other Merry word dies that I could have used instead. Similarly, the die I used to create the zigzags, the Chevron stripes die from MFT Dienamics, is discontinued, so I have linked to something very similar)

 Hannelie also Cased one of my cards - you can find it HERE

Alcohol pearl rainbow for Picket Fence Studios

 I haven't made an alcohol ink rainbow in a while, so I thought I'd better!

 

I paired up my rainbow background with a die cut sentiment from Picket Fence Studios, which I cut from a piece of Paper Glitz Sparkle coated cardstock.

 

 Picket Fence Studios has a HUGE sale happening right now!

Pink hot choc

Hello! I've been trying this year to make more Christmas cards that are not the traditional red and green. Today, I was in the mood for pink! 

I love making background panels like this one, because I can get two cards for the price of one! I decided to go clean and simple for the second card.
