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:

Caring leaves fall Save

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.

  • Alcohol blends technique with video tutorial

    I shared this fun technique on a recent video; I call it the Alcohol Blends Background.  

    Alcohol Blending cards Save

    For the cards above I added pretty floral die-cuts from the Paper Florist dies.  The greetings are from the Kindest Expressions stamp set.  The background colors were made with the following Blends: Left card Mossy Meadow & Lemon Lime Twist. Right card was Berry Burst & Blackberry Bliss.  

    To achieve this cool background you need Blends or alcohol markers and rubbing alcohol in a spritzer bottle. I used regular Basic White card stock and a clear plastic folder to work on. You can watch the video here.  

    I tried many color combinations; you can see some of the finished cards below plus the backgrounds too.

  • Earthen Elegance kit to go or get the PDF tutorial option

    I couldn't decide which designer paper to feature for this month's card kit to go. So I did a poll on my Facebook page.  Earthen Elegance won!

    Here are the cards I created: 

    Earthen Elegance all Save

    Three of the five designs are fun fold cards.  It seems like many people like to create these; something you don't get from a store-bought card.  

    I used the Earthen Textures stamp set for my greetings and some Earthen Textures dies too.  You can use any greetings you'd like though. If you'd like to add on the Earthen Textures stamp set or bundle, message me here and I will add it on at a 10% savings. 

    Pretty Peacock was a featured color in three of the five cards; It pairs beautifully with brown tones and vanilla here.  

    The kit includes $20 in product including 1/2 pkg of the Earthen Textures DSP (6" X 12"), a share of the Natural Wavy trim, Neutrals adhesive-backed sequins and 10 vanilla envelopes.  For all that and the pre-cut kit, it's just $28 plus shipping!

    If you'd like to get the PDF tutorial click here.  Order the pre-cut kit here by August 20th.

    Details on the pre-cut card kit: 

    • The pre-cut kit and products are mailed out by the end of the month, barring any back-orders. 
    • The kit includes all punched and die-cut pieces; everything is cut except your new designer paper. 
    • You will need your own ink, greetings and adhesives.  Plus a paper trimmer to cut your DSP. 
    • The PDF tutorial is sent to you immediately via email.
    • The tutorial includes step by step directions, photos, measurements and a supplies list.
