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.

  • October’s Christmas Cards Class; or choose the tutorial only.


    Last week was my first set of Christmas card classes and in 2 weeks will be the second set.  

    I always enjoy creating the cards for these classes.  It can be a challenge to keep them simple but striking!  Here's this month's set: 

    I chose to feature a few new stamp sets or bundles from the 2020 Holiday Catalog.

    From top left to bottom right:

    • Snow Wonder bundle in Misty Moonlight & black 
    • Poinsettia Petals bundle in Real Red & Mossy Meadow
    • Joyful Holiday with Gleaming Ornaments, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce & Green Foil paper
    • Life is Beautiful in Early Espresso & Balmy Blue

    Class will be on both October 12th & 16th and we'll make 3 of each card with coordinating envelopes.

    If you're not local to Minot, ND you can purchase the pdf tutorial too. Check it out here to see this one and September's too.  These tutorials are great for personal use or for class projects too!
