Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card for 2024 - 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!
Last year, I took a break from the series, which was a difficult decision to make. My cardmaking friends (led by Ardyth Percy Robb and Therese Calvird) were having none of this, and surprised me with an avalanche of Case me a Christmas Card posts.

ReplyDeleteI love how you've used Ardyth's card to inspire your gorgeous Christmas card, Michelle! I will be making notes on these wonderful ink colors!
ReplyDeleteI mentioned this set is a favorite - and though I understand why everyone sees those as 'petals' I do wish the line art details were given to all of the bracts. Ah well, I still love it, and the marvelous detail the stencils add.
So happy to see you're back for 2024 and look forward to every episode!
