Video : It’s all about the CASE!
If you don’t know what CASE means it’s simply ‘Copy and Share Everything’. You guys totally inspire me and to be able to make a card inspired by something that you created, it’s soooo much fun and hopefully it will inspire you too! We are all friends here, and there is definitely no need to reinvent the wheel, especially when someone has already perfected it!
So without further ado, this card is inspired by my incredible crafty friend Linda. This is the woman who said to me, ‘Yes, start a blog’, ‘Yes, submit your cards to the magazine’… and she’d never even seen one of my cards lol. Love you Linda! You can have a closer look at her card at her blog A Happy Scramper.
Her card is so amazing that I couldn’t resist the urge to CASE it, but it all went downhill from there… Did you ever have one of those days where it all kinda went wrong, I managed to finish the card and you get to see it all.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.
