The challenge this week at Christmas Card Challenges is to CASE (copy and share everything) another DT member's card.
I CASE'd our Team Coordinator's card from August 17th. Ever since Alanna posted her card, I've been wanting to do one very similar. I just loved the clean and simple design to her card.
Now, I don't have the fancy embossing folder that she used, so I had to get a bit creative. But, overall, there's a bit of similarity to the two cards.
To get the "blank" areas on my card, I used several shims so certain areas would emboss and other areas wouldn't. Then I used a circle and rectangle die to create the embossed lines. Next I used the ornament die to emboss the image of the ornament onto the cardstock. I forgot to take pictures along the way, but I was able to snap one picture of the process.
A lot of steps . . . it might have been easier to just find and buy the embossing folder she used, but I'm happy with the way it turned out.
I really liked the Merry Christmas Die and Stamp set she used, so I bought it several months ago. That made it a bit easier to CASE her card, even though I changed the greeting. I stamped "Christmas" and die cut "Merry" to switch it up a bit.
