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.

  • A WOW card with Swirled Designs

    This is one of those cards you will not soon forget; the Swirled Designs bundle is so cool!

    Save

    See what I mean? The colors include Blueberry Bushel, Shaded Spruce & White. Striking, bold colors for a celebratory card. The stars are die-cuts from the Swirled Designs dies.

    The Swirled Designs bundle was a sleeper; not many people have used it. But once you do…. you’ll want to use it over and over. See the stamp set here and the dies here. You can choose the bundle here, but the dies are discounted which makes it almost the same cost to order separately. It’s on the Last Chance list unfortunately; only available while supplies last.

    Save

    For the greetings I used the Reason to Celebrate stamp set. Wonderful and specific greeting images you will love. See it here.

    Save

    It’s a simple fun fold card where you score the front one extra time. I used the Garden Poetry DSP for the left side panel. That’s where I got the idea for my colors.

  • Gorgeous Petals of Beauty fun fold card with video

    This pretty card was a big favorite of my club gals in March.

    Save

    It features the Brushed with Beauty suite which includes many items that are now on the Last Chance list!
    The Petals of Beauty bundle was used mostly for the stamped images and die-cuts. See it here.

    Save

    My card base is Very Vanilla with the following additional colors: Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Darling Duckling.

    Save

    Look at the airy Vanilla flower petal die-cuts above. They are not meant to match which I love!

    You cannot tell but there is a window sheet sandwiched between the top and bottom layers. It adds a bit of surprise to the card. The rounded leaf die-cut is cut from the new Wood Grain Wonders 12 X 12″ specialty paper seen here. It has a very faint wood grain to each sheet in all wood tones. I added a bit of Mossy Meadow ink to the one on the right above.

    Save

    I added designer paper to the inside layers as well; all from the Brushed with Beauty DSP seen here.
