Case-ing Christmas Holiday Blog Hop

Welcome to the CASE-ing Christmas Holiday Blog hop! 

Sadly CASE-ing Christmas is going to be closing the challenge after the blog hop.  Read more about it on the CASE-ing Christmas blog.

I appreciate all the wonderful feedback to the Design Team from our followers.  Thank you for your participation! 

This month's challenge is a little different.  The challenge will run from the 5th of December thru the 15th of December.  Prize winners will be announce on the 25th of December along with the challenge winners.  You will get to see all the Design Team cards all at one time this month.  

The challenge for this month is:

ANYTHING WINTER/HOLIDAY GOES!

Here is my card for the challenge.  

No stamping at all on this one.  I used Shimmer cardstock to cut out Spellbinders Angel of Peace, Joy from the Spellbinders Holiday Sentiments and a Star from Memory Box Traditional Stars.  I added some silver Stickles for a starry background.

Hop on over to the CHALLENGE and enter your Winter or Holiday Card for a chance to win one of three surprise gifts this month!

Happy Crafting!

CASE-ing Christmas CASE-ing Myself

It's time for another CASE-ing Christmas challenge.  This month we are CASE-ing one of my cards.

The original card was made using non-Christmas stamps for a Christmas card.  

This time I used Christmas Stamps to make my CASE.  The sky has some Wink of Stella on it for sparkle.  I used the Stampin'Up! Jingle All the Way Stamps and the Sleigh Ride Edgelits.  The snowflake gems are from the Oriental Trading Company.  

Here's a close up of the sparkly sky and snowflake gems.

You have until the last day of the month to link up with this challenge but you really should link up the November 23rd for a chance to win prizes!

If you've never CASEd a card, here's what you need to do:

1. Look at the CASE card photo.
2. Be inspired by some element of the card.  This could be colors, layout, image, etc.
3. Make a card based on that inspiration.  

Come join us over on the CASE-ing Christmas blog and check out what our amazing Design Team did with my card.  

Happy Crafting!

Here's the card for you to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) this month!

Original design by DT member Steph.

Here is my take on Steph's Card.

I flipped Steph's card and then got carried away with the Tim Holtz Holiday Joy set and a starry sky technique from Jennifer McGuire.  Star is a Memory Box die.  I know it is hard to see but the trees, deer, star and ground are all shimmer cardstock.  The stars are sprinkles of perfect pearl on Tim Holtz distressed ink background.

Come on over to the CASE-ing Christmas blog and see what the other DT members have for you and then join in for a chance to win a great prize.

Here's our list of sponsors for the hop!

All Dressed Up

Chocolate Baroque

 DeeDee's Digis

MHK Designs

Paper Sweeties

Polkadoodles

The challenge for is for us to CASE ourselves (a non-Christmas Card to a Christmas Card).  I made two cards and CASE'd myself off of this card:

For my first card I used sponsor's images from DeeDee's Digis and MHK designs.  I flipped the card on it's side for this CASE.  I scored the star ornaments and folded them to get a 3d effect and popped the background paper also.  The stars and sentiment are coated with Wink of Stella for a nice sparkle.

My second card uses stamps from Paper Sweeties.  The stars are coated with a Wink of Stella.

Your next stop in the bloghop is Rocky's blog.  Hop on over and see what she did!  After you're done hopping come back to the CASE-ing Christmas blog and link up your creation with us.  This hop is also a Design Team Call.  Can't wait to see what you'll show us!

CASE-ing Ellen

Welcome to another week at CASE-ing Christmas.  We provide a card for you to CASE (Copy and Share Everywhere) and you get ahead on your Christmas Card stash!   This week we are CASE-ing Ellen.  Here is my take on the CASE!

Instead of a card this time I decided it would be fun to make a pocket scrapbook card.  This is a 4x6 card ready to be inserted into a pocket scrapbook page about Christmas.  It is hard to see but the tree has gold Stickle ornaments on it.  The edges of the card are inked with gold paint.  

Here's Ellen's card for comparison.

Check out the other designers cards and join in with us at the CASE-ing Christmas blog.

CASE-ing Christmas Judy

Welcome to another week at CASE-ing Christmas.  We provide a card for you to CASE (Copy and Share Everywhere) and you get ahead on your Christmas Card stash!  This week we are CASE-ing Judy!  Here is my take on the CASE!

I pretty much stuck with the design that Judy used.  I wanted more of a winter theme to the card so I switched to blues and snowflakes.  I still kept the bling!  Here is Judy's card for you to compare.

Here's a close up of that bling and the shiny silver cardstock, heat embossing and washi tape!

Stamps are Stampin'Up! Christmas Bliss and Festive Flurry.

CASEing Christmas - Anita

It's time for another challenge at CASE-ing Christmas.  This week we are CASE-ing Anita.  Here's my card.

Here's Anita's card we are CASE-ing.

I love her triple time stamping she used.  I was also inspired by this pin on Pinterest.  I went with the sparkly theme by adding glitter embossing powder to the sentiment and metallic embossing powder on the stamping.  I hope you join us at CASE-ing Christmas for some fun triple time stamping this week.  

CASEing Christmas

It's time for a new challenge over on the CASE-ing Christmas blog.  This week we are CASE-ing the uber-talented Mynn.  Here's the card we are CASE-ing.

Here's my CASE of Mynn's card.

It's hard to see that the DP has lots of sparkle and I added sparkle to the snowflakes on the bear stamp.  The large stamp is Close to My Heart.   So come on over to CASE-ing Christmas and show us your CASE!

CASE-ing Christmas Challenge #8

Today at CASE-ing Christmas we are CASE-ing Design Team member Cohenna. 

Here's my card for the CASE.

I stayed with the car design but switched out the colors and the theme.  It's fun to do non-traditional Christmas Colors such as pink and blue.  The image is from Cricut Celebrate with a Flourish.  I cut it out of blue, pink, silver and white shimmer cardstock.  The sentiment on the tag is Hero Arts.

Come on over to CASE-ing Christmas and play with us!

NEW Challenge Blog CASE-ing Christmas

My friend Mynn has come up with a new challenge blog.  It is called CASE-ing Christmas.  The challenges are weekly on Fridays.  Here's my card for the very first post.

I stamped and embossed on vellum with silver EP.  I did not realize how hard it would be to photograph.  It looks out of focus but it's not.  Here's a close up to see it better.

I dry embossed the backing cardstock with a swirl embossing folder. 

Come over and join us for some fun and some Blog Candy all this month!
