case me a christmas card – Tinstar Designs

Join the fun with “Case me a Christmas Card 2025” This series features ten creative hops in October—two on YouTube and eight on Instagram—where we’ll CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) cards from fellow crafters. Make your own unique Christmas card inspired by someone in the hop, upload it via Inlinkz on @michelle_lupton ’s blog, and you could even snag a prize from one of our awesome sponsors. Or leave a comment on the stops on the hop (either on IG or on YT)! It’s all about sharing ideas, connecting with other cardmakers, and sparking your creativity for the holidays!

I cased the lovely Anita (@craftyneet) Her card is from a post back in August. I loved the ombre stamped semi-circles with the simple sentiment across the bottom. I changed it up by punching my circles from four different green cardstocks, cutting them in half before adhereing to my card base. I kept the simple sentiment along the base. It was a little bit fiddly but I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Here’s the hop list:

@tinstar05 – YOU ARE HERE!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you check out the other crafters and play along.

I’m thrilled to have been asked by Michelle Lupton to join her in her Case Me a Christmas Card series again this year.

Michelle has asked lots of friends in blogland to CASE one of her cards and make it with a Christmas twist and she in turn will CASE one of our cards. This is my 4th year playing along and its heaps of fun. For her challenge this year, I chose this sweet card she made back in July this year.

I was inspired by the layout with the scallop layers and the single focal image in the centre. All items on my card are from Stampin Up. The tree and baubles are form the Whimsical Trees stamp set, the sentiment from the Greetings from Satna stamp set. Cardstock is Garden Green, Granny Apple Green and Bright White and the inks are Certainly Celery, Old Olive and Basic Black.

What do you think? Did I capture the essence of Michelle’s card while still making it mine?

Well thanks for stopping by for a look and I hope we’ve inspired you to think about taking inspiration from and CASEing a fellow crafter!
