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.

  • Fun Treat box made from our Acetate Card Boxes


    Did you know we carry the perfect size clear box for gifting a set of A2 cards?  You can see them here or on page 137 of the annual catalog. They fit about 4 cards inside depending on how many layers there are. 

    Well Marilyn cut one box in half and created this adorable treat box for her Card Club friends!  

    It features the Cute Halloween designer paper and Frightfully Cute stamp set. 

    There's a template for the card stock below.  She used the Basic Border dies (seen here) to cut the bottom edge but you wouldn't have to.  If you don't use the Basic Borders Dies on the edge, you could cut the 5-1/2" down to 5".

    She filled it with lots of treats & embellishments.  It also fits an entire full size Kit Kat bar! 

    She uses a mini velcro dot for closure.  The card stock is actually inserted inside the box and mini glue dots are used to keep it in place.  

    And here's the template for the card stock insert.

  • Be Dazzling specialty paper is sold out! Fabulous Summer Shadow dies projects with video!


    I cannot believe the many ways you can use these Summer Shadow dies seen here!  I shared two bright, fun cards yesterday here and have more yet today. 

    I sure love the leaves in Coastal Cabana & Pool Party!  The flowers are Melon Mambo & Blushing Bride.  

    The greeting is from the coordinating stamp set in the Annual Catalog called Shaded Summer seen here. I love the greetings & font in this set! That heat embossed greeting/die-cut is from the Messages die. 

    Next up I created some colorful cards using the Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling specialty designer paper.  As of today this paper is SOLD OUT unfortunately.  They did predict they'd run out of this paper before Sale-a-Bration is over. 

    Just so you know, these Summer Shadow dies (and the Sheep dies) are also expected to run out! 

    I used Blends markers to color my flowers.  You can see this in the video below.  The card base is Granny Apple Green and the vertical strips are Poppy Parade on the left & Magenta Madness on the right. 

     Which is your favorite? 

    I'm so sorry that this gorgeous paper is unavailable now.  I hope most of you ordered it while you could!  

    Below is the video where I share lots of cards featuring the Summer Shadow dies and the Shaded Summer stamp set. Click on the photo to watch.
