Casing my friend with Caring Leaves & video


Last week I was out of town to see my son get married in the beautiful Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming.  

The photographer was incredible; I have to share some of her early shots with you.  It was a quick trip but we were blessed to be there for the small ceremony. We had a wonderful time driving through the stunning park with the photographer scouting out photo opportunities.  We're thrilled to add Katrina to our family!

Today I'm sharing the swap card I made for our Team card swap this month:

My colors include Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Beige & Very Vanilla.  Peacock is one of my favorite 'outside the box' colors for autumn projects. 

Two of my favorite types of stamps are 2-step and Distinktive and this set is both!  It's a sweet & simple set & it's just $17. See it here. 

When I was planning my card for the swap I came across the card on the left below.  It's one my friend Susie Wood made awhile ago. I loved the layout and cased it using the Caring Leaves set. 

Casing a favorite card or layout is my go to when designing a new project. It's fun to switch up colors and products while using the same design. 

I created a video that's posted below.  I stamped the outline leaves on the large Pretty Peacock layer before embossing it with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder. I also stamped an extra leaf to fussy cut and add under the tag.  See the measurements below.

Measurements:

  • Basic Beige 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"
  • Pretty Peacock 2 3/4" X 5 1/2", 2 3/4" X 4 
  • Pumpkin Pie 2 1/2" X 3 3/4", 4 1/4" X 1" strip
  • Very Vanilla 2 1/4" X 3 1/2" plus tag die-cut

Below is the video I shared along with card swaps from my Team.

  • A SMART way to use your 6 X 6″ paper with this neat fun fold card; video too!


    On yesterday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards.  See that video here on my YouTube channel.  Be sure to subscribe too! 

    This card is probably my favorite fold.  It makes the BEST use of your 6 X 6" designer paper! 

    I chose to feature the Butterfly Kisses 6" DSP in the 2022 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! It's filled with bright colors & fun prints with printed butterflies you can cut out! 

    It coordinates with the Build a Butterfly dies and the Best Butterfly Bundle seen here. 

    I chose to use Starry Sky with White & Parakeet Party for my main colors.  The 'pull out' tag for the front is from the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.  

    For all of the cards in the video I featured the Charming Sentiments bundle seen here.  It's filled with great greeting images and lots of coordinating dies that cut them out perfectly!

  • Blessings of Home & Flowers of Home dies projects


    Look at this pretty card I made on last week's Facebook Live. 

    Lots of pretty details on this card:

    • Blessings of Home stamp set & Flowers of Home dies for the leaves
    • I used watercolor pencils & blender pen to color the floral image
    • the gold honeycomb sheet is from the Sweet Sunflower Paper Pumpkin kit; it was a free gift add on
    • I used the gold honeycomb sheet to add a pretty, blended background using Balmy Blue ink & a Blending Brush

    The Flowers of Home dies are in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog but also available free with a $100 Stampin' Up! order during Sale-a-Bration.  See them here. This option ends on Wednesday, August 30th.  See all of the Sale-a-Bration options here. 

    The stamp set & dies are available in a bundle too.

    I made a second card using mostly the Flowers of Home dies.

    I cased the card from Sue Mohr; I thought it was simply elegant way to create a 'wreath' around the oval sentiment.  

    The oval dies are from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here.  When you cut out the oval it creates both the frame and the inside; two pieces with one die! 

    I textured the White layer with the Quatrefoil embossing folder seen here.  It's so pretty and works perfectly with these flower & leaves die-cuts.  

    The colors I used are Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia.  

    Tip; when adding these delicate die-cuts use just a tiny but of Multipurpose Liquid glue.  

    Remember that these Flowers of Home dies are free with any $100 order through Wednesday, August 31st.  Sale-a-Bration ends that day. 

    Click on the photo below to watch the video to see how I made both of these cards & one more too!
