Today, I'm sharing a cute kids card for Paper Rose.
I stamped the Valentine Bear clear stamp on the front of a side folding white card in black ink. I coloured the image with Copic markers. I then fussy cut around the right side of the image so that part of the inside of the card shows on the front of the card.
I masked the inside of the card with mint tape, and blended a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks so that it would show behind the bear. I added some clouds cut from the Cloud Coverplate die.

Today, my guest is Deborah Smith. I have CASEd one of her cards that I have included in this post. Deborah doesn't generally post her own cards (even thought they are fabulous), so this post will be different - I will post my CASE of one of her cards, and I will also post her CASE of one of my cards!

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.
