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:

About Me

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way.

Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals.

So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.
