Day 6 at Beccy's Place - CASE Yourself . . .

. . . CASEing some crayon colouring cards I made several years ago

I'm playing along with the

Ninth Annual Month Of Holiday Cards

at

Beccy's Place

I'm not colouring at the moment but I am working on Christmas craft projects for creative little hands around our neighbourhood ... the endless months of Covid-19 lockdowns has brought our community much closer and I look forward to sharing more crafty adventures with them over the coming weekends and school holidays now that restrictions have eased.

Beccy's prompt for Day 6 is the "CASE yourself"

(Beccy's post with her North Pole candy cane card to inspire is HERE)

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

My "CASE Yourself" kids Christmas activity is a crayon colouring card.

A few years ago I made several of these and they were very popular.

Details and links are below if you would like to check them out.

There are some changes to those earlier versions, so I am copying the original design and selectively editing to hopefully improve them.  I have used a different Beccy's Place digital stamp to colour and made adjustments to the design, removing the perforations from the crayon holders so that they are stronger, placing the crayon holders so that the crayons sit horizontally in the card and I've made the border of the matting layers wavy instead of scalloped.

Now it's my pleasure to introduce Milton from the

Milton Catching Snowflakes digital stamp set by Beccy's Place.

This delightful image and sentiment always makes me smile.

I used a cut file for the crayon colouring card (details and link below), enlarged it to 5 1/2" square front panel (with a 1/2" spine and 5 1/2" square back panel), added a fun wavy matting layer (details and link below) for both the front image panel and for the crayon holder inside.  I removed the perforated cuts from the crayon holder (I found that it was easily torn by little hands removing the crayons when I last made them and hope this will make them stronger) and added the crayon holder to the inner wavy matting layer for inside the card.

I opened the Milton Catching Snowflakes image and the sentiment from the same stamp set in Silhouette Studio then sized them to fit nicely on the wavy panel for the front of the card.  I printed the image panels and cut with my Silhouette Cameo.  I cut the card bases and crayon holder layers, burnishing the folds with a bone folder then adhered all the layers in place.  It was fun choosing the crayons to go inside and I know that little hands will enjoy colouring these Christmas cuties.
