Case me a Christmas Card with Lydia Fiedler

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!

Blue and red flowers

 Today, I'm sharing a couple of cards using a floral stamp from Uniquely Creative (sadly, I think this stamp is discontinued).

Fusion: Cake

 Welcome to a new challenge at Fusion!

 I made a loose interpretation of the sketch, using a background of alcohol inks and gilded alloy on Yupo, with a border cut with a die from Simon Says Stamp, and a sentiment from Uniquely Creative.

 Make sure you check out all the rest of the inspiration at the Fusion challenge blog, and play along with your own creation!

Purple flowers on yupo

I have so many panels of Yupo with alcohol inks and alcohol pearls, I have a problem!

I embossed some flowers from Uniquely Creative over the alcohol inks (it is do-able, but not easy to do - you have to keep the heat tool moving at all times so that the yupo doesn't melt) and I added a sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

Colourful birthday

I don't often use orange, but after all those Christmas cards, I needed a colour palette a little bit different! 

I used the Doodle Garden background stamp from Catherine Pooler, white embossed onto watercolour cardstock, then coloured with Zig markers and water. The sentiment is from Uniquely  Creative.
