Case me a Christmas Card with Teresa Abajo

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!

Mixing old and new for Picket Fence Studios

 Today, I;m combining a background I made during a live Facebook video a couple of months ago, a stamped image I had leftover from a card I made last month, and a die cut word using a previously released die and brand new Pink Prom Night Paper Glitz!

 

If you noticed something else on the paper glitz on the sentiment die cut, you'll have to wait - I will spill the beans on what I added in a video on the Picket Fence Studios YouTube Channel this coming Thursday!

Thanks for visiting!

Texture for A Blog Named Hero

 The newest challenge at A Blog Named Hero is "Texture". My favourite way to add texture is to use Paper Glaze from Picket Fence Studios, so I went with an ombre look. 

I used the Glorious Petal Stencil from Hero Arts, along with the Big Hugs Stamp & Cut set.


 A Blog Named Hero has recently moved to Instagram! If you want to enter our challenge, post your card to Instagram, tag @ablognamedhero and use the hashtag #abnhOctoberChallenge
