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.

  • Notes of Spring tutorial is available!


    Each month I collaborate with other Demonstrators to create a Product of the Month (POM) tutorial. Everyone who purchases the POM from me will receive it free!
    How it works: you can redeem any of the Product of the Month items for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 mark.

    Here’s a peek of the 12 projects in this tutorial:

    The March POM is the Notes of Spring stamp set seen here. It’s a 2-step stamp set that includes greeting images too!

    I’ve sent this tutorial to each of my customers now, but the offer never ends! If you order it and the set is available, I’ll send it to you.

    There is one other POM available – the Painted Illusions DSP seen here.

    These items are available while supplies last; once they’re gone they will not return. So get them while you can!

    Starting April 1st we’ll have a new POM to choose from; the Eyelet Bloom dies.

    Its intricate pattern creates a full background that fills large areas beautifully for a polished, handcrafted look in one easy cut.

  • Neat Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this neat fun fold card on last week’s video. It is the standard size card but shows off your designer paper so nicely.

    The 11″ X 4 1/4″ piece of card stock has an extra score line on the front left. This gives you a spot for a DSP strip and to adhere a 4 1/4″ piece of DSP under that flap. It opens fully because the DSP is only attached to the scored flap. So cool!
    My colors include Misty Moonlight, Strawberry Slush & Crushed Curry; taken from the designer series paper. The little butterflies dies are from the Cutest Crew dies. That greeting is from the Springtime Scenes dies.

    I used the new Homemade Sweetness DSP here with the greeting from the Cutest Crew stamp set. The checked Misty Moonlight ribbon is in the suite with the Homemade Sweetness DSP. There is also a stamp & dies bundle and gems. Here’s a link to the DSP:

    I did create a free project sheet for this card so you can make this fun fold too. Click here to access it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this sweet card; I hope you watch it.

  • Cutest Crew card swap


    Here’s the card I made for our latest Team card swap. What do you think of the color combo?

    As you can see, I used the Cutest Crew bundle here. I’m a cat owner so I chose the cats. My colors include Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, White and Basic Gray.

    This adorable bundle is in our Online store and was available last week but now the dies are out of stock again. I have a feeling this is how it will be for awhile. We all love our pets! You can see the Cutest Crew bundle here or the stamp set alone here. *Be sure to add your email to the product page so you get notified when it’s back in stock.

    The largest card base is Crushed Curry and the next layer is Smoky Slate which is the part that opens.

    I colored in the images with Blends markers. It was fun to color them in cat like patterns.

    Thanks for stopping in today! I hope you like my cards.
