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.

    I asked my Flowerbug's Team what the best part of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrators is.  I loved hearing their thoughts!
    • Discounts on stuff I would want to order anyway! 
    • Getting to see and order from new catalogs before everyone else!
    • Ordering what I want, when I want at a discounted rate and getting hostess goodies.
    • Social gatherings with friends & meeting new friends is a bonus!
    • I like that there's no pressure to sell, sell, sell. If you are motivated (and there is support to keep you motivated) the sky is the limit. But if you are in it for the joy of a creative outlet you have support for that too! Supportive upline and peers.
    • In no particular order: discount, first glance at catalogs, meeting with and creating with new friends, lots of support for taking your business where you want to go.
    • My favorite perk is discount with early sneak peeks, but I love the friendships made, with the help, support and sharing of ideas amongst each other.
    If you have a big wish list and/or place regular orders you should REALLY consider joining my Flowerbug's family so you get a discount off everything you purchase! 
     
    The starter kit is only 99.00 and FREE shipping, and you pick out 125.00 in Stampin' Up! product of your choice, PLUS just for June you can add on ANY Bundle for free! That's HUGE!

  • Jar of Flowers Double Flap Fun-fold card with video!


    The Jar of Flowers bundle is pretty neat and easy to create wonderful cards with.  We made these cards at my June card clubs.  It was sooo great getting together with my gals again. North Dakota is open to events again but we are still being cautious too.  

    You can really see the details on the card in this close up view.  That neat texture is the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  The colors are Misty Moonlight with Bumblebee and the In Good Taste designer paper. 

    There are sooo many wood, texture and patterns in this big pack of In Good Taste paper.  It is amazing!  Here's a good view of this paper.  

    Here's another version of the card using the jar and water image but the flowers are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set.  This card was for those who didn't want to color. We added punched flowers using the Confetti Flowers Border punch seen here.  After punching we added a dot of Navy ink for the centers. 

    For this fold all I did was trim off an inch from the card front and add a flap that is hidden by the strip of In Good Taste DSP.  This flap is what the front panel is adhered to. Watch the video below! 

    The cards are finished off with a greeting from the Lovely You bundle – this is one of my favorite bundles!  I love the Pick a Punch and the Lovely You stamp set is full of wonderful greetings. 

     

    Measurements:

    • Bumblebee card 5 1/2" X 7 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
      In Good Taste DSP 1" X 5 1/2"
      White – front and inside 4 1/8" X 3", scrap for greeting is 1/2" wide
      Misty Moonlight 3 1/4" X 4 3/8", flap is 1 3/4" X 3 1/2" scored at 1/2"
