Case me a Christmas Card 2024 with Michelle Lupton

It's been a long hiatus since my last post! So excited to be joining Michelle Lupton again with her Case me A Christmas Card series. Michelle is the queen of alcohol inks and I wanted to do a Christmas themed design and I picked this card that she blogged in September this year (image below). I experimented with two types of paper and decided to use the Yupo paper as that produced the most brilliant colours. Here is Michelle's CASE for my one of my cards! Thanks for stopping by!

Materials used:
Stamp - Simon Says Stamp
Die - Birch Press Radiant Ornament A
Inks - Ranger Alcohol inks, Altenew EP
Paper - Yupo card

Billowing Peonies

When I saw this new Altenew set, it was hard to resist the temptation to 'Add to Cart'! When the set arrived, I fell in love with how beautiful the whole bundle was! I spent a whole rainy Saturday to stamp and colour these beautiful peonies. The first card was based on the current Altenew June Inspiration Challenge. I had a lot of fun lining up the stencils, but not too difficult to do. One of these is off to a very special friend who is not too well at moment, hope she likes it! I'm also linking this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Bright and Cheerful. Thanks for dropping by!

Case Me A Christmas Card 2022

I'm excited to be invited again by Michelle Lupton to join along with her Case me a Christmas Card series. It's always fun to pick one of Michelle's cards to case. I picked this card that she blogged in August this year - I love the simplicity of this card and adapted it for Christmas. I'd actually made 6 versions of this card in the one session! The stampset is a recent purchase from Simon Says Stamp and the blocking was done with sticky note strips. Here is Michelle's Case for one of my cards! Thanks for stopping by!

Materials used:

Stamp - Simon Says Stamp Season of Joy
Inks - Tim Holtz Distress Ink
