Christmas fancy fold CASE adventures

Remember, I said I wasn't very good with tic-tac-toe challenges, but three of the challenges I follow posted them this week.  In my usual way, I took that as a sign that I needed to practice making choices.  I sort of cheated, though.  It's a bit of a long story but let's just start with these two amazing cards by Jan Tinklenberg: this year and last year.  As Jan brilliantly noticed and interpreted, the stamp set (last year) and edgelits (this year) just cried out to be done as side-step cards.  Furthermore, Jan's incredible cards just cried out to be CASEd, especially since there's a "folded card" challenge at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long.  Since there's already die cuts and stamping involved, I only needed to add glitter for the diagonal in Jingle Belle's Tree Skirt Tic-Tac-Toe - I could do that, and my choice was made for me:

stamp set - Cozy Christmas; ink - Cherry Cobbler, Tip Top Taupe, Island Indigo, Hello Honey, Perfect Plum, Always Artichoke; Stampin' Write markers - Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler; Stampin' Dazzle marker - Silver (retired); card stock - Very Vanilla, Pool Party; designer series paper - Home for Christmas; Big Shot with Sleigh Ride edgelits; Dazzling Diamonds glitter, sponge daubers

I didn't add glitter to my CASE of Jan's 2014 card, but it includes wet/heat embossing, so it qualifies at The Paper Plunge:

stamp sets - Merry Everything, Holiday Home (retired); ink - Cherry Cobbler, Baja Breeze (retired) Midnight Muse (retired), Gumball Green (retired); card stock - Whisper White, Soft Suede, Gumball Green (retired), Baja Breeze (retired), Midnight Muse (retired): designer series paper - Snow Festival (retired);  Big Shot with Homemade Holiday framelits (retired)

My final fancy fold card is CASEd from Brenda Quintana.  Originally I CASEd the card with Wisteria Wonder flowers as a Get Well card, for Card Buffet.  Afterwards I had one kit leftover, and I didn't really need another floral Get Well card, so I turned it into -- you guessed it -- a Christmas card, with more of those pretty purple snowflakes:

stamp set - Flurry of Wishes; ink - Blackberry Bliss, Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder; card stock - Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White; punch - Snow Flurry; Big Shot with Banners framelits, Basic Rhinestones
