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:

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.

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"

New: Vine Design Dutch Door fold card

December 29, 2020
I made several cards for online swaps featuring products in the upcoming 2021 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalog. This pretty fun fold card was one of them. I gravitate towards anything with leaves or vines so I knew I'd like this set called Vine Design.

Save

The colors here are Night of Navy, Seaside Spray & Old Olive with White. I used my Stamparatus for the vine image; it's so perfect for multiple cards! Perfect inking and placement each time.

Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

December 28, 2020
I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend! We sure did. It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together.

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs. It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too. It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style. Scroll down to see the video.

Save

You just need three circles of different sizes. I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges. I use these dies so much! If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here.

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets. Just one ink color; Night of Navy.

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives. See that video here.

The above cards were made with various designer papers & stamp sets. The top is Classic Christmas, left is Heartwarming Hugs and right is Snowflake Splendor.

Measurements:
- Main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Neutral (White or Vanilla) is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"

Let it Snow?! Are you having a White Christmas?

December 25, 2020

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you are enjoying your Holiday today and that you are able to spend time with some of your favorite people. This year is so unusual and difficult for many who are isolated. I wish you the best and thank you for your support this past year.

We did just get snow this week; very unusual for us in North Dakota! So it's a white Christmas after all.

Here are two of my favorite wintery cards featuring my Life is Beautiful stamp set.

The card above is Seaside Spray with Black & White. The stamp set is Snowman Season in the Annual Catalog.

This card is made with the Snowflake Splendor designer paper. Ink colors are black, Balmy Blue & Highland Heather. The DSP is retiring in a week or so and it's on sale here.

This card is very similar to the one above only made with Early Espresso & Balmy Blue.

Merry Christmas!
