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.

  • Don’t miss this fun technique; use those Designer Paper scraps!


    Do you have trouble tossing those small pieces of Designer Paper left from a project?  I sure do!  There has to be a way to use them, right?  Well you can use them easily with this technique! 

    See?  It's quite eye-catching isn't it?  I kept the cards very simple to highlight the paper.  Each one features the Celebration Tidings stamp set. The card above features the Plaid Tidings designer paper; it's on sale right now too!  

    Watch the video below to get the tips on how to create these.  You just need some 1/2" strips and a ruler. 

    The card above features the Magic in This Night Designer paper.  The card below is the Tis the Season Designer paper; both on sale in October here!  

    Watch the quick video below to get the tricks on this fun technique.

  • Trio of Celebrate Sunflowers cards with video & an easy highlighting technique!


    Look at these gorgeous sunflower cards!  They were a big hit at my Card Clubs this month.  They could chose between Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral ink for their sunflower. 

    We sponged each sunflower leaving the center without color except for a bit of Crumb Cake Blends marker.  I know it might not be realistic but I like the pop of White in the center for brightness. 

    Check out the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle here. 

    Then we used White Craft ink and Blender pens to highlight a few petals here and there on the sunflowers.  It's super easy! I created a video below so you can see how it's done. 

    Measurements:

    • Crumb Cake card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scraps for die-cuts
      Whisper White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", plus a 3 1/2" piece for sunflower
      Early Espresso 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
      In Good Taste DSP 1 3/4" X 4 3/4"
