Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing two cards I CASE'd (copy and share everything) from myself. :)
This year my Christmas gift to my sister Dee, is to make some Christmas cards for her to send to family and friends. She received them a few months ago and they have now all been sent out, so I thought it was safe to share with you.
Dee picked out two CAS designs from earlier this year and asked for nine of each. I wanted to change them up a little from my original, but as you can see from below, there's not too much difference with the card above. I tried different sentiments, but decided that this one worked best, so stayed with it. I did change up the snowflake to silver glimmer paper and added a circle frame from the same pretty paper. And I added a silver foil backing to the aperture (the original was open to the inside of the card).
Here's the original ... like I said ... not too much different. Click HERE for the original post and details.

The second card Dee picked is fun and whimsical. I love these three winter sparrows from Lawn Fawn. I tried using different colors for the birds from my original card, but decided I'd stick with the same ... they just work. I did change up the perspective, making some of the new cards portrait, and I added some embossing paste "falling snow" for the background. The birds and branch are fussy-cut and popped up on top of the card base.
Here's one of the new versions ...

Love the birds and the "embossed" snow drops enclosed in a circle. You are my inspiration. Please keep posting. I should comment more often and not just silently admire your great cards.
Beautiful cards .... I love the little birds. Maybe I'll ask you do do mine next year!
Just in case I don't get back here in time, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year! Love n hugs ... Linda xx
I love both your cards with the added touches. I think card sets make the best gifts :-) TFS my friend. Merry Christmas to you and the family. Hugs, Nancy
Gosh Loll, I don't know how you do it, but you made even CASE'd your own cards and made them better than the original ones! I loved the original ones, but I love the newer ones even more! What a great gift too for your sister. I love this idea! Hugs, Brenda
Gorgeous first card- so elegant! Super fun 2nd card. I bet your sister loves you being in the family ;)
So adorable! Love it.
And then the suave Christmas card in silver is amazing. From cute to sophisticated! That is talent!
Gorgeous cards, Loll. I admire how you took 2 of your own cards and made them even better than the originals. I especially love the addition of the falling snow.
With 2 such pretty cards originally, you've done a wonderful CAS. Love the snowflake treatment on #1...and all the gleam & shine. The simplicity is just elegant because of the treatment you chose. I have these little LF birds and they make me smile even when I just see the stamp. They're darling with the colors you've selected, and your paste embossing snowflakes really soar this card. Merry Christmas, TFS & Big Hugs. Thanks so very much for that stunning candle card. We loved it! Thank you for thinking of us with such a lovely card.
Two lovely cards Loll and great CAS job

Love the previous cards and really love the changes you've made! The glimmer paper adds such elegance and I like the falling snow behind the delightful birds! A lot of fussy cutting there!
What a wonderful gift! I love both designs, but especially the first one. The silver backing works just as well as the opening on the original card.
Stunning cards as usual Loll I love the original, so classy! Merry Christmas to you and your family

Hi Loll! Your little birdies are so sweet, but I have to admit that something about metallics, especially around the holidays, really reels me in! That gorgeous glittery snowflake and window, just WOW! You make simple look stunning! holiday hugs :)
One stunning card and one simply adorable card! Both fabulous CAS designs, Loll!
both cards are fantastic, love the elegance of your first card and the glitter! The birdies are cute!
Both your cards are gorgeous Loll and so are the originals of course! Wishing you and your family a very merry christmas - hugs xx
Both of these are adorable!
I'm going to have to do some CASing myself after Christmas! I will pin them on my Pinterest Christmas Inspiration board to remind me. Really stunning! Karen x
