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.

  • Pretty Pansy Patch fun fold card with measurements!


    Check out this pretty fun fold card using the Pansy Patch suite:  

    The flowers are die-cut from the Pansy Petals designer paper.  Yes; the Pansy dies match the Designer paper perfectly – 2 sets each of leaves and flowers coordinate!

    Note that adorable golden bee embellishment.  They're called Bumblebee trinkets but they are currently unavailable.  They should be back in stock around June 7th. 

    Here are the measurements for this pretty card: 

    • Evening Evergreen:  8 ½” X 5 ½” base scored at 1 ¼” and 4 ¼”
    • Fresh Freesia: 1” X 5 ¼”
    • Basic White:  2 pieces – 3” X 4 ¼” for stitched rectangle die-cut and 2 ¾” X 4” for inside
    • Pansy Petals Designer Paper: 1 ½” X 5 ½” plus more for the die-cut pansies

    I created this display for the Pansy Patch bundle seen here; see how many dies you get?  And you can see how to put each of them together as well. 

    This suite is fresh, springy and unique.  See it all here.

  • How many ways can you use the Elegant Tag punch? LOTS!


    Look at these pretty projects using the Simply Elegant suite

    The Simply Elegant Specialty designer paper is gorgeous as well! It's filled with detailed patterns in Basic Black, Basic Gray, copper, gold, silver, Very Vanilla, Whisper White. 

    Check out the Elegantly Said stamp set here in the bundle with the Elegant Tag punch. 


    Here's a bunch of additional ways to use this Elegant Tag punch. You can lengthen it or insert narrower strips into it. Or use one end or the other to get lots of unique shaped tags with this Elegant Tag punch. 

    Unfortunately this punch is on back order until July!  But you can still order it right now.  I have a feeling they'll turn it off soon and it will be unorderable.
