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. 

CARING LEAVES PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

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.

  • Basic Beige 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"

  • Peaceful Cabin card; easier than I thought!!

    Tomorrow is an exciting day!  The Holiday AND the 2nd  Sale-a-Bration catalogs go live tomorrow.  Tuesday August 3rd you can now order from them. 

    *If you do not have a demonstrator or either of these catalogs contact me and I'll send you them.  

    I wanted to have a sample of this pretty bundle at my Holiday Catalog Launch party last week so I had a play with it.  I was so surprised on how easy it is to create with! 

    Peaceful Cabin Save

    I stamped everything in Smoky Slate for a soft look. The card front is mostly two pieces.  The trees were stamped on the upper part of a 5 1/4" X 3 1/2" piece of White card stock.  The cabin and greeting were stamped on the same size piece.   

    Then I used the cabin edge die to cut the silhouette of it.  I adhered the tree layer to the Basic Gray card stock first.  Then added the cabin layer with dimensionals.  I added a few silver foil trees to the side; these are also dies in this set. 

    Peaceful Cabin Save

    Remember you can order this bundle tomorrow Tuesday, August 3rd here.

    Split Front card Iconic dies Save

    I also used another sneak peak product from the upcoming Holiday catalog; the Timber 3D embossing folder.  Of course I stamped the greeting before I embossed it. 

    Split Front card Iconic dies Save

    I hope you watch the video below to get the tips on cutting these pieces and finishing the cards. 

    Here is the template.  Start out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock AND of Designer Paper.  

    Split Front Template Save

    I suggest you cut this out of scrap card stock.  Make marks where indicated and cut on the diagonal.  Once you have the template I first place the bottom left piece (2 1/2") over my cut DSP & CS pieces and cut.  Then I use the upper right piece (3 3/4") on the remaining piece of papers and cut.  That leaves me with the center piece ready to go. 

    Here's the video for you:
