Hi Everyone.
Happy Tuesday. Hope you are all having a great week so far. Before we get to tonight's card, I wanted to clarify a couple of things on last night's post – oh… and I updated last night's post to show the inside of the card I made, too. I don't know why I missed that last night!
The rules of CASEing…. When I case for a challenge (as opposed to CASEing for personal use, or in workshops, etc.), I follow the rules from splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper CASE challenge. For that challenge they request that you change at least two things about the card and note what they are. It became ingrained in me to do that, so I follow the same rules for other challenges, too. So, I apologise if I confused everyone with the "rules of CASEing" and hope that clarifies it.
Secondly, a couple of you have asked me what The More the Merrier set looked like, just in case you can help Pat out so that she doesn't have to go the eBay route. So, I popped along to splitcoast and copied the index card that features all of the stamps in the set. It was a level 3 hostess set from the 2009/2010 catalog. I used the snowmen a lot last year. Here's the index card
Now…. on to tonight's card. I used the sketch from FreshlyMadeSketches last week. They really do produce some amazing sketches. Of course, I had to pull out Dasher and my Mocha Morning DSP. The sketch called for elements on the side of the horizontal element. I thought… ah ha….. I have little reindeer from some ribbon that I have. Can you believe it is actually ribbon? So, I used those for that element.
Then, of course, I had to add a few pearls. Actually, I like the way the pearls pick up the circles in the Mocha Morning DSP. I really wanted to "do" Dasher in flocking powder, but didn't have any brown flocking powder. I do think he would be fabulous with a little texture.
As always, thank you for visiting my blog. You know it means a great deal to me. I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday.
Warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift.
Hugs
Jaydee

Love this, Jaydee!!! Dasher is always dashing and I love the little pearls on his antlers. And you’re so right, he would look awesome flocked.
I would have never thought to use that DP with Dasher – but I LOVE it. So very pretty.

What a gorgeous Dasher card! The pearls are the perfect touch!
Beautiful card Jaydee…thanks so much for sharing.
Love the pearls on the antlers, seems that you always have just the right touch with that bling : )
Hi Jaydee! What a beautiful Dasher! I like your added pearls too. Thanks for letting us know about the case rules. I learned something too! Splitcoaststampers has so much information on it that it is overwhelming to me and so I don’t stay on there too long. I’ve enjoyed your vacation/new home stories these past two weeks. Hard to believe that time is over. Hope the rest of your decisions are easy ones. I’ve never built a home and second guess my decisions a lot, so I wouldn’t do well with needing to make them all. Keep us updated!
What an awesome card!
I’m sure if Dasher visited you yard, this is how he would look and feel!
Welcome back Dasher…long time no see! Jaydee this card is amazing, you are so creative and it’s been fun to see how many different looks you can create with just one stamp. Can’t wait to see more 🙂
Have a happy Hump Day One and All.
I do so love “Dasher”. He’s such an easy stamp to work with and you can glam him up (hm, shall we make that *HER*?) or make some very clean cards. Or, like you’ve done here, combine the glitz and glam with a lovely CAS card. :o)
I’m sure Dasher will be playing a part in my cards this year. :o)
I hope all are well and that today has been wonderful. Hugs!
