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.

  • Butterfly Kisses fun fold card with Enamel Effects


    Here's the last fun fold card I made in last week's FB Live video.  Each one featured the Butterfly Kisses designer paper and the Charming Sentiments bundle. 

    The dots on the pretty die-cut butterfly and circle are made with our new Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics seen here.  It comes in three colors and is so easy to use.  

    You can even make your own removable enamel dots by applying it to excess mini glue dot tape or to our Silicone Mat.  


    I used a few sets of dies on this card: Build a Butterfly, Sentiment Silhouettes, Stylish Shapes (stitched circle) & Stitched with Whimsy (stitched frame).  

    Measurements:

    • Calypso Coral 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
    • Starry Sky 5” X 3 ¾” plus 2 1/2" stitched circle 
    • White is 9 ¾” X 3 ½” scored at 2 ½” & 5”
    • DSP 2 1/4" X 3 1/4" 

    Click on the photo below or here to watch the video; there are 2 other super easy but unique fun fold cards too!

  • Another easy but fun fold card with Butterfly Kisses


    Here's one more quick fun fold card idea for you.  The entire front flap of the card is your designer paper!  So cool! 

    Again I used the Butterfly Kisses 6" designer paper seen here.  It's in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog and so full of fun patterns & bright colorful butterflies.  The butterflies are perfect to fussy cut too!  

    Can you see how the front right piece of designer paper is anchored to just the very left flap of the main card base?  

    I used the Charming Sentiments stamp set for my greeting and the Stylish Shapes dies for the stitched circle. These dies are currently out of stock but will be back by mid September. 

    The measurements are in the photo below: 

    I also used the Fun Flower Resin Shapes on the cards too. They are part of the Butterfly Kisses Suite seen here.  

    Click on the photo below to watch the video and see how to make ALL of these neat fun fold card ideas.
