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.

  • Gathering Moments swap; I love creating my own paper!


    Here’s a pretty card I made for one of the online swaps I joined last month:

    I used the new Gathering Moments stamp set with the new Traditional Labels dies.

    The card stock colors are Lost Lagoon, Timid Tiger and Very Vanilla.  Inks are Timid Tiger, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.

    After stamping I used a Blending Brush to add Lost Lagoon ink around the edges and on the greeting die-cut too.

    I love creating cards for swaps!  I find it very relaxing to make multiples of my creations.

    You can see this stamp set here.  It has a set of dies as well.  See the Traditional Labels dies here.  

    I’ll be sharing many more cards with this pretty new bundle next week.

  • Look at these gorgeous Sunflower cards


    My friend Tammy shared these gorgeous cards she made with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder.  

    She was inspired by the card we made at Club in August.

    I shared how to do this technique on this video.  Or see it below. 

    This Sunflower 3D embossing folder has been out of stock twice already and it’s in low inventory again!  You can see it here. Get it while you can!  Online Exclusive products are while supplies last….. 

     

    Below is the video tutorial for this technique.  It works with any ink colors you can dream up!
