Card Swap Chain Series 5 - CASE-ing Tracy

Back in November 2025 we started the fifth series of the Card Swap Chain, arranged by the lovely Tracy Held. The idea is the we each made a card and sent it to another person in the chain. That person would CASE (Copy and Share Everything or Copy and Selectively Edit) the card and send it to the next person who would in turn CASE it and send it on. There are 10 of us in this chain so definitely opportunity for a few variations to sneak in between the first and last card, and these blog hops take you on the journey through the CASEing process. 

This chain started with this zen card created by Tracy, I love her use of the fractured DSP pattern on the left panel it really goes with the theme of the card. If you didn't begin this hop with the first blog, I would recommend you pop back there to start the hop and learn a bit more about the original card.  

My card was forth in the chain so there are many similarities between mine and Tracy's cards. I kept the fancy fold however used the same DSP for the side and front panels to allow the gorgeous gold floral image to take centre stage. I used a pre-printed sentiment on this card which pops against the DSP. This is such a fun fold, and easy to create. 

Time to keep hopping to see how this card was interpreted for the rest of the chain, and if it is still recognisable by the end of the chain What elements do you think made it all the way down the line?

Happy Stamping
