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.

  • Happy Thanksgiving!


    I hope you can enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving today!  I know many of us cannot be with the family or friends like we're used to.  It's so difficult with this pandemic; tough times and even tougher decisions! 

    I received this cute card from my friend Pat this week.  I wanted to share it with you with my seasonal wishes for you and your family. 

    She used my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful seen here.  You might think this is for Halloween; but she has a two black cats and I have one so this fit us both! 

    If you aren't on Facebook you might not know about my stamp set challenge.  I found out how many of these stamp sets have been sold so far worldwide and had my FB Live followers guess.  What's your guess??   

    As of two weeks ago Stampin' Up! has sold over 16,000 sets!  That's 176% over their predicted amount!  Whoop!  I'm thrilled with how you all like it!

    I bet this year many of us will be giving gift cards more than ever.  This social distancing is hard but during the Holiday's it's going to be so tough!  If you are missing celebrating with your family this year I feel for you.  Holidays are meant to be enjoyed together. But if it keeps us and them safe I'm sure it's the right decision. But we don't have to like it, right?! 

    Here's a fun gift card holder you can make to give those gift cards in. 

    I made one during last week's Facebook Live but you can see the video below, or here on my YouTube Channel. 

    The measurements are as follows: 

    • 5” X 4 ¼” – score at ½” and 2 ¾", *get 4 from one sheet of CS
    • White tag – 2” X 6” scored at 4”, Black band is 1” X 5”
    • White rectangle die-cut (Stitched So Sweetly) is 2 3/4" X 1 5/8" 

    *The gift card is the last project on the video below; you can fast forward through the cards if you'd like. 

    Products Used:

    Tag Buffet stamp set, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Fancy Tag Topper Punch, Red, White & Black CS, Blends markers, rhinestones

    Remember you can find me here on Facebook 6 times a month!
