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.

  • He’s the Man fun fold card; Facebook Live tonight!


    Here's the card  we're making tonight for Stamp with Me Live. It's at 7:30 pm CT here.
    Gather some supplies and create along with me.
     
     
    I used He's the Man DSP; no stamping on the front.  I used the die-cuts included in the special He's the Man designer series paper.  I love this paper with the two sheets of fun elements we can use for card making or scrapbooking.  
     
    It's a fun fold card with the bottom half opening up to reveal the same angled square piece as the front. These are from the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.  This set of dies is all stitched in squares, circles and banner shapes!
     
    Measurements:
    • Card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4", & 2 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • embossed back is 5 1/4" X 4"
    • Squares 2 3/4" & 2 3/8"
    • DSP 5 1/4" X 2"
    Other products used:
    Dies are Stylish Shapes; Brick embossing folder & Rustic Metallic adhesive-backed dots.
     
    The stamp is from the He's All That bundle; the arrow is another element from the Designer Paper seen here. 
     

    Join me here where I'll share a few more cards made with this layout.

  • Glimmer Paper meets the Slim Card dies for a big WOW!


    I hope you're not tired of the Slim line cards I've been sharing this week.  I've been having a lot of fun making them with the Slim Card dies and the Slim Saying stamp set.  

    I shared these striking cards on FB Live Tuesday: 

    I wanted to use the new 2022-24 In Color glimmer paper, I knew it would show off it's ombre' effect nicely with the Slim Card dies.  I chose to use the 2 in colors of Parakeet Party with Starry Sky.  

    The Slim Sayings bundle is retiring this month and available while supplies last.  BUT the Slim Card dies are on sale now at 50% off!  See them here.  It's a better deal to get the Slim Card dies separately from the Slim Sayings stamp set even though they are available in a bundle.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
    • White layer for the die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"

    I had to cut the colored glimmer paper twice since it's in 6 X 6" size and the die is about 8 1/2" long.  I also used the Picture This dies for the greeting label and the Starlit punch for the glimmer stars; also punched from the In Color Glimmer paper.  

    I saved the outside pieces from the chevron glimmer paper and made this card: 

    I just couldn't throw it away and decided it could be used for a second card.  I adhered the two colored pieces to a piece of White card stock and trimmed off the excess before adding it to a card base of Orchid Oasis.

  • Easy Kite Delight Fun Fold card with video & measurements


    I cannot believe I forgot to share this neat card!  We made it at my April card clubs; it's a fun fold featuring the Kite Delight stamp set & the Pattern Party designer paper. 

    This stamp set is on the Last Chance list and is on sale at just $12.60 instead of $18. 

    The color combination includes Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Black & White.  The kites are colored in with Blends markers and the Cloud Punch adds a fun detail for the greeting banner.  


    Here's how it opens up to reveal the other side of your double sided designer paper.  The Pattern Party DSP is retired now; it was in the annual catalog and free for hosts. 

    As you can see I changed the cards up just a bit.  I swapped the yellow kits and used two different greetings too.  

    Measurements: 

    • Black base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", layer 2 5/8" X 3 7/8"
      • DSP 4" X 10 3/4" scored at 3" & 8 1/4"
      • White die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 3/4", inside 3 3/4" X 5" 
      • Yellow greeting strip 3/4" X 3 3/4"

    I shared this card during last week's FB Live.  Watch it here and see all three Kite Delight cards I made.
