CASE Me a Christmas Card with Michelle Lupton

CASE Me a Christmas Card with Michelle Lupton published on No Comments on CASE Me a Christmas Card with Michelle Lupton

I’m thrilled that the amazing Michelle Lupton is back this year with her CASE Me a Christmas Card series. And I’m honored that she invited me to join her again. I always love this fun concept. I choose one of her cards from the year and use it as a basis for creating a Christmas card. She does the same for me.

Here is the card I CASEd of Michelle’s:

Using what I consider to be the basic rules of CASEing (Copy and Share Everything), I wanted to change at least three things and still stay true to her original. While she did a partial die cutting technique, I opted to mimic that look with die cuts strategically placed on the diagonal. Using the Deck the Halls Washi Tape elements, I just layered them up along the edge. I flipped to a landscape format to make the ornaments hang correctly too.

Where Michelle used a textured embossing folder, I opted for designer paper (from Honey Bee Stamps). I love how her texture really made those flower pop and I think this paper does the same for my ornaments and greenery. I heat embossed the sentiment from the stamp set that coordinates with the washi and dies. Finally, I added some pearls like she did. She used seven and I thought that was just perfect for my card too!

Michelle used one of my cards and I cannot wait to see what she did! This is part of the fun…we don’t share which cards we are using!! Go check her’s out here: CASE Me a Christmas Card with Jen Timko

Thanks for joining me today and make sure you follow Michelle for all of her guests! See you soon!

CASE Me A Christmas Card – Surprise Edition

For those of you who know Michelle Lupton, you know that she is both super talented and one of the nicest people! Over the last years, she has done a series of CASE Me A Christmas Cards where she will CASE (Copy and Share Everything) one of her guests cards and vice versa. You take a non-holiday card and turn it into a holiday card using the inspiration of each other’s work. It is always such fun. This year, Michelle has had some things happen where she was just unable to commit to the project. Soooooo….a whole group of stampers committed to do it together in honor of her!!! This is primarily an Instagram event and all you have to do is go over to IG and search for the hashtag: #casemeachristmascard2023

The hardest part of doing this for me is narrowing down the choice of what to CASE. I generally use the rule of three on a CASE where I change 3 things while keeping some of the main elements of the original. In this case, I chose a floral card with partial die cutting. Her original is posted below. I used the Joyful Poinsettia set from WPlus9 (I know you are super shocked) and found the die for the set worked perfectly in the partial die cutting. I used my Copic Markers to color the image with traditional colors.

I chose Artichoke Card Stock from Concord and 9th as my base once I had finished my coloring. Then I created a mini slimline card using the Sweet Stacks: Mini Slimline Dies. I heat embossed my sentiment in Gilded Embossing Powder on Black Card Stock by Concord and 9th. Oh, and if you have ever had trouble with heat embossing on black (I did and thought it was my powders…and I tried a lot of powders), this card stock changed the game. It is smoother and somehow the heat embossing stays crisper. YAY! I added some splatters with Gold and Irisdescent White and then some red pearls.

So here is Michelle’s gorgeous card. Things I kept: Partial Die Cut, Sentiment Placement, Florals and Gems. Things I changed: Slimline layout, Copic coloring, Raised sentiment, Image panel to edge.

I hope you like my version of her card. Please come over and celebrate with us all. Michelle is just beloved and I’m thrilled to be a part of this ode to her talent.
