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.

  • Frosted Forest silhouette card – so pretty! Free project sheet too


    I'm sharing a gorgeous wintery card that I made on last week's video. I saw a few similar cards online and knew you'd like to see how to make them. 

    It's in Navy & White with a clean, crisp feel to it. Perfect for wintertime or the holidays.  I shared how to assemble this in the video here or scroll down to see it below.  It's a little tricky to get the pieces in place before adhering to the card base.  

    The trees die is from the Frosted Forest dies seen here.  It's part of a bundle with stamps, dies & stencils seen here.  

     

    The greetings and greeting die-cut are from the Peaceful Season bundle seen here.  I love this bundle!

    It's hard to see the texture on the White but I used the Snowflake Sky embossing folder on it. The ribbon is our sheer Navy & Gold glittered ribbon in the Annual catalog. 

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and three more!  I share a weekly Live video each Tuesday morning on my Facebook page here. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.

  • Unique Frosted Forest bundle shown multiple ways! Free project sheet & video too


    On last week's Live video I shared multiple ways to use the Frosted Forest bundle.  Here are two of the cards I made. 

    I used Granny Apple Green & Shaded Spruce here. I stamped the outline of the trees in Shaded Spruce and then added color by using the coordinating stencils with ink and blending brushes. (Pecan Pie ink is used on the tree trunk).

    Here is an example of the dies with a few coordinating stamps & stencils. 

    See this special stamp, dies & stencil bundle here. 

    I hope you watch the video here or below to see the many ways to create with it. I share a unique way to add extra detail to the large tree. It gives an easy 'leafy' texture. 

    A layered banner greeting across the bottom finished it off nicely. The birds are also included in the bundle. I used Pecan Pie to stamp them and then a blender pen to spread the ink a bit. 

    Here's the free project sheet for these two cards; click on the following link to download or print it: Download Frosted Forest 2 trees cards

    I think the combination of these two colors for these pine trees works wonderfully. 

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and two more!  Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.

  • More New Catalog Product displays


    A few week's ago I held my Holiday Catalog open house and I shared a few of the displays earlier. Today I'll share the rest for you. 

     

    The Season of Elegance suite includes two bundles, the designer paper, an embossing folder, gems and ribbon.  See it all here. 

    The Season of Elegance specialty designer paper was a top seller at the event.  It's stunning! See it here online.

    I created a display for the Christmas Label dies that coordinates with the bundle seen here.  I love these so much!  The dies aren't just for the Holidays! 

    And here are the Peaceful Season dies at are part of the bundle seen here: 

    Next are the Reindeer Days & Sentimental Christmas displays: 

    Most of these are swaps I received; only the two on the right lower edge are mine.  I love swapping – especially to get samples of products I didn't buy and to show styles that are different from mine. 

    Here's a close up of the last display board – Snowy Scenes Suite, Humble Home bundle & Take a Bow DSP:

    See all of the new Holiday catalog products here. There's lots of new & exciting stuff!
