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.  

Grand Tetons 4 pictures Save

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.

  • Want to make a Bay Window card? It’s easy! Stamp with Me Live tonight at 7:30 pm CT!

    Tonight on my Stamp with Me Live we're making 'Bay Window' cards.  These are so fun and actually quite simple to make.  Scroll down to see the measurements.  

    You can watch the video here on my Facebook page.  If you're not on FB you can see it later when I upload it to my YouTube channel here.  *Don't forget to follow me!

    Bay Window Bloom Where You're Planted Save

    It starts out with a standard 4 1/4" X 11" piece of card stock. Add some scored lines and designer paper and you're halfway there!  

    PLENTIFUL PLANTS BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    For this first example I chose to use the Plentiful Plants bundle.  The Bloom Where You're Planted designer paper is on sale in July. You can see it here.  

    I used the Everyday Label punch for the greetings here.  There's an easy way to create a curved edge and a perfect layer.  Watch tonight to see how.  

    Bay Window Bloom Where You're Planted Save

    Here's the second version I made with the Beauty of the Earth designer paper.  It's also on sale too!  

    Bay Window Bloom Where You're Planted Save

    I used the same stamp set; Plentiful Plants for the greeting.  I did add a few pieces of the In Good Taste DSP here for the wood paper.  It works so well for nature themed cards.

  • Make up to 24 great cards with this easy layout!

    I created 24 wonderful but super easy cards on this week's Facebook Live video.  I featured the same template but switched it from vertical to horizontal for each set of 12 cards.

    I chose to use the new Pattern Party host Designer Paper because of it's versatility and fun color combos.  You can see this paper here. 

    FB Live 24 cards Save

    I kept these cards super simple but you could easily add more layers if you'd like.  Here's a close up of two of my favorites:

    Crushed Curry Save

    Above is Crushed Curry card bases paired with the adorable Pattern Party black and white side of this fabulous Designer Paper.  I used both the Friends & Flowers and the Sunny Sentiments stamp sets here.  The flowers are colored in with Blends markers. 

    Here are all of the landscape cards; I love this stamp & punch bundle!  

    Friendship & Flowers cards Save

    And next are all of the vertical cards.  I stamped the flower image from the Friends & Flowers on either White or colored card stock and colored them in with either Blends markers or Wink of Stella; or both!  Simply add a greeting strip and some rhinestones.  So easy!  

    12 cards Save

    Crushed Curry Save

    The above set of cards is the exact same layout as the landscape cards; just flipped vertically!  I love the versatility of this design!  This is the same designer paper as well, but on the colorful side.  The reverse is all black & white patterns.  

    The images are from the Friends & Flowers stamp set.  The greeting strips are about 3/4" X 3". 

    Think how quickly you could make a stack of cards using this easy layout!  Below is the video to get my tips and see the cards better. 

    Remember that my perk for ordering over $50 in July is a stack of twenty 4" X 6" Designer Paper that includes at least 12 sheets of this Pattern Party DSP.  It's enough to make all 24 cards shown and more!  And the  more you order the more free Designer Paper you'll receive!
