The video I will break into two parts, but the techniques are similar for all!
I wanted to show you the full sheets before cutting one down into this adorable chimney. Sorry you can't see it but the snow and layers on the sentiment are glitter paper.
Look closely at the background paper - it looks like embroidered stars! So pretty.
The bricks actually have a rough texture like brick! So fun!
You will be able to see the video a week from today and there will be prizes!
Loveyameanitbye.

I'm coming to you today with one of my absolute favorite types of holiday posts - the CASE Me a Christmas Card series with Michelle Lupton.
If you haven't seen this before, what she does is invite a series of guests to do a mutual CASE - I pick a card of hers, and she picks a card of mine and we use those as our inspiration.
This year, something caught my eye as a theme in her account - and that is that she is a master of using analogous color. As I tend to gravitate towards complementary color combos, this intrigued me - because her cards have this really beautiful harmony!
So I selected one of her combos that she uses frequently for holiday cards - and that's blue and green - an analogous color combo I don't use that often - so that's a fun challenge for me!
I chose the fun two piece tree tag die and ink blended them separately with reactive inks - blue, purple, green and a blue green. I lengthened the tag as well with a die cutting trick you will see in my video. I used glitter paper and an alcohol marker to finish the scene.
When you look at this with a little collage I made of the inspiration pieces - I think you'll see how skilled she is in this part of the color wheel in every conceivable medium.
Here is a list of her inspiration cards included in the collage:

Happy kit day friends!! Even though I'm in my spooky season, the crafting world has some holidaying to do, so this month's kit is all about Christmas!
I wanted to do a bright and happy card to start today off with - whatever the opposite of two hurricanes is - I want that.
So I grabbed this fun Mondrian style Christmas stencil and just three colors of ink, and I taped off stripes and ink blended - letting the overlapping areas create the rainbow effect.
Here's what the full kit looks like - and LOOK at that die cut washi! That's what was in my sneak peek Saturday - it's so beautiful and looks so pretty on kraft cardstock.
Speaking of kraft cardstock - I wanted to use the background cling from the kit in a tone on tone here for the tag images from the kit - and I used primary colors in the background of these as well.
Stay tuned tomorrow when I will have a video using the kit for my collab with Michelle Lupton on her CASE Me a Christmas Card Series. You can sign up for the video premiere here:
You can also see the full release there! Enjoy!!!
Loveyameanitbye.

Anyhow - I'm happy to see October and of COURSE the Card Kit!!! I have a bunch of cards and a video this month, so be sure and come back here on Monday - but today I'm giving you a little sneak of one of the extras - a stunning scripty sentiment and die set.
But don't sleep on the STUNNING washi die cuts you are going to see! I put mine on kraft because it's such a warm image and I wanted to keep that warmth. I also added the new clay peppermints around the sentiment. Tip - to align these - put your card lined up on your sticky mat grid. Then line up a ruler along one of the grid lines and pop the mints on! Even round shapes are easy this way! I thought this cabin looked like a gingerbread house!
Want to see more inspiration? Head HERE to see the other team cards - and then come back on Monday!
