Case Me A Christmas Card With Michelle Lupton

 

 

 It's my favorite time of year!!

 

 FallWinterSnowHalloweenThanksgivingChristmas!!!

 

Well seriously... all of that wrapped into one here on my mountain is the BEST ever!! And today I'm joining the super talented Aussie Michelle Lupton for her series of Case Me A Christmas Card!! 

I am so so excited and honored to be part of this fabulous blog series of hers... and of course it's Christmas cards which makes it extra special!

Michelle has chosen a card of mine to Case (copy and share everything) and I've chosen one of hers. A design that is a little outside my normal comfort level and challenges me a bit. You can see the card I chose of hers to Case: HERE.

My card uses that basic layout and of course a Christmas theme....

I used the really cool Picket Fence Studios Autumn Field stamp and embossed it in white, then did a little distress oxide blending before cutting it into inchies. I had this little glittery sentiment and some tiny snowflake embellies! One more Christmas card made into my stash! 

Thank you Michelle for including me this year!! You are such an inspiration! Hugs from across the seas and over the mountains!!

Crushing On Cardstock Day 1 Cards!!

 Happy Day!!

What a super busy month August has been ........... both in life and crafting!! I jumped in to the Crushing On Cardstock week of classes!! 

 

You can find that on Online Card Classes where I've taken several classes and love it so much!!

Day 1 started on Monday and here are the cards from that day.... we learned several techniques and although I have most of the cards done from each day I will blog each day separately to make it easier to post in the gallery there as well as keep track of what I posted! lol

Here are some cards made with the techniques of using paper strips....

Now for some damp embossing and paper tearing.....

Now for angled paper strips and paper weaving.......

Oh so many techniques with cardstock and this is just Day 1!!! Check them out if you like classes... I really enjoy these as you always have access to them and can go at your own pace!! Hope you all are having some wonderful crafty days!!
