One of my favorite things about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is sharing creativity with others. Sometimes a fellow demonstrator makes something that sparks an idea, and you just have to give it your own little twist!
Today, I’m showcasing a beautiful magnetic easel stand designed by fellow demonstrator, Melissa Davies of Rubberfunatics, along with my own version featuring the Neutral Noel products.

Melissa’s display is full of Christmas cheer! Her distressed white easel frames a festive JOY centerpiece, with an embroidery hoop forming the “O.” Little houses, trees, deer, and a playful garland across the top bring the whole scene together. There are so many lovely details to admire!
Her project inspired me to **CASE—Copy And Slightly Edit—**the idea for my own holiday display. All credit for the original magnetic easel stand design goes to Melissa Davies.

For my version, I kept the charming easel display idea and gave it the warm, peaceful feel I love about Neutral Noel.
I created a snowy village with layers of white hills, evergreen trees, and little houses. Two dimensional houses sit in the foreground, adding depth to the winter scene. A “Merry Christmas” greeting above the village and scattered gold embellishments give it a festive finishing touch.
Along the bottom, the gold-accented patterned paper adds a lovely shimmer. Across the top, I swapped the circular garland for layered pennants tied with rustic twine and accented with green pom-poms. The soft neutrals, warm browns, greens, and gold look right at home against the distressed white frame.
What I love about CASEing is seeing how one idea can inspire another. You might change the colors, choose different papers, or create a new focal point while keeping the part of the original project that first caught your eye. Always remember to give the original creator credit when sharing your version!
Thank you, Melissa, for sharing your creativity and inspiring this project! I had such fun putting my own Neutral Noel spin on your magnetic easel stand.
