Another card I made for my niece's 21st - I use a press plate from Alex Syberia on my Glimmer machine to foil the card, and then stenciled over the flowers in the colours chosen as the theme for Caitlin's party.
Welcome to Case me a Christmas Card 2025 - a Christmas Card series!
Throughout October, there will be a series of 10 hops – two YouTube hops, and eight Instagram hops. Each hop involves participants CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) a card from the next person, drawing inspiration while each creating a Christmas Card. And you can join in!
Background
This series began in November 2016 as a personal challenge to explore different Christmas card styles, with friends suggesting creative ideas. Over time, more cardmakers joined, leading to a format where participants CASE each other's cards. A helpful video by Ardyth Percy Robb outlines a 5-step CASE process—check it out HERE.
This year
This year is a bit different, because I'd love for you to join in! You can join in by making your own CASE, or by commenting on the stops on the hop (either on IG or on YT).
I'm over the moon excited to share that some amazingly generous companies that I love are offering some super generous prizes!
