I’m really enjoying the Holiday Card Workshop and I was so inspired this week with all of the classes! In fact, my first card is a CASE of one of Laura Bassen’s cards...well, except that she created her amazing plaid pattern, and since I haven’t quite mastered that skill yet (not even close, kids) I used some of my Lawn Fawn Christmas papers from last year. Also, I don’t have any holiday word dies, so I used the partial die cutting technique (check out This Video, also by Laura) and added a stamped word.
I am submitting this card to the Less is More Challenge ~ Use Designer Paper in a CAS way.
For my 2nd card, I CASE’d Cristina Kowalczyk’s card using the same stencil, but I used embossing paste for the tree, and I didn’t ‘swipe’ it all the way, so I could add texture to the image. It looks pretty cool IRL!
I thought this card would be perfect for a few challenges:
CASology ~ Cue Card is ‘Triangle’
Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge ~ Anything Goes.

Well, that’s it for me. I hope everyone is doing well and having a great weekend ~ Thanks so much for stopping by!

Love both cards, Barb! The stripey paper on your first one is so festive and I love your tree! Isn't embossing paste fun?! :)
You are so clever! I love the partial die cutting! What a fabulous idea! If I don't get some of that embossing paste soon I'm gonna die! You are really working magic with that stuff!
Both cards are fantastic Barb, but it's that tree I can't keep my eyes off!

You cards are so great! Saw the "Hello, Santa" in the Holiday Card Workshop gallery, and just had to take a closer look. What a neat idea, which is getting me thinking of how to do my own take. Tfs!

Amazing work, Barb! I was just thinking last night of using the embossing paste to make a tree and then I see this today! Great minds. I think I will CASE your idea though on some of my Christmas cards. :)
Congratulations on your pick over at CASology!
