Casing my friend with Caring Leaves & video

September 23, 2024

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:

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.

CARING LEAVES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH)

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.

Save

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.

Sneak Peek of new products with a sketch for inspiration

October 27, 2025
On last week’s video I shared three cards featuring a new designer paper coming out in November. It’s called Brushed with Beauty.

Save

My colors include Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral. The stamp & dies bundle is called Words of Beauty and is part of the Brushed with Beauty suite. Demonstrators (& new team members) are able to order it early but you can see and order these new products on November 4th. They’re part of our Online Exclusives – new products released every other month.

This layout was inspired by a sketch. Every month my Flowerbug’s have a creative challenge involving sketches or a color combo. This will be our November sketch inspiration. Sketches are a fabulous start to creating a card or scrapbook page. And they’re just an inspiration. As you can see I did not use a circle but the die from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I also flipped the center rectangle on it’s side.

Save

The Words of Beauty bundle will be a great option for greeting phrases. It includes two large sets of dies with the words ‘just’ and ‘because’ and then plenty of words to create your greeting. Plus the die I used with the word ‘because’ below is one of three in the package.

You’ll notice the new packaging in the photo below. All new stamps & dies will be in these envelopes. Also all new stamps will be clear photopolymer and not red rubber.

Save

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here to print or download it. Did you know I have a category at the top of my blog where you can see lots of these? They’re great inspiration and include many fun fold cards.

Save

I hope you’ll try this sketch layout. It’s a fun one! When you do, please share your project in my FB group here. We love seeing what everyone makes!
