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.

  • Blossoms in Bloom; puzzling it together?


    Here's an incredible card featuring the Blossoms in Bloom bundle made by my Flowerbug's team member Jacki for a new catalog card swap.

    I just love these colors together; Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.  

    Can you tell that she stamped the large floral image on her White CS using Misty Moonlight?  Then she added die-cut layers in White, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade.  Yes; she cut out three dies for each card and puzzle fit them over the stamped image!!!  Amazing, but stunning!  

    If you want to see this bundle online, click here. 

    I believe she cased this card from Pinterest; made by Mary Detherage.

  • Colorful Sunflowers the easy way!


    Marilyn made this pretty card with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here) for one of our latest Flowerbug's Team swaps.  I believe she found the idea on Pinterest.  I love how it features 4 of our new In Colors! 

    The card base is Bumblebee.  She added Black card stock and ink to pull the colors together.  Here is a tip: stamp the sunflower on 4 different colored squares and then cut them into smaller squares.  You'll get enough stamped pieces for 4 cards!

    Measurements:

    • Bumblebee card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White – 5 1/4" X 4"
    • Black 3 3/4" square
    • Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblee – 3 1/2" squares for stamping. Then cut into 1 3/4" squares to puzzle piece on each card.

  • Window cards for tonight’s FB Live; stamp right along with me!


    Here are the cards for tonight's FB live projects.  Monday night's videos are designed for you to stamp right along with me.

    Gather some supplies, pre-cut your pieces and join me here at 7: 30 pm CT.  The measurements are below.

    For the card above I used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and the Tasteful Labels dies.  There are two separate pieces of Misty Moonlight and White CS below the DSP panel.  The greeting is from the Lovely You stamp set. 

    I used the Lovely You stamp set in Magenta Madness and Just Jade.  That pretty texture is the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder. The window is made with the Label Me Lovely punch seen here. 

    I had to use my new favorite stamp set Forever Fern for this window card.  I stamped the same leaf image repeatedly in Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake.  Love blues and browns together!  The circle is a 2" punch and the pretty label die is the Tasteful Labels again. My favorite set of label dies now! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
      Main window layer 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
      Layered piece 3 3/4" X 5" (the Magenta card has a tighter layer; 3 5/8" X 4 7/8")

    Use Designer paper, stamped or textured card stock and assorted dies or punches for your windows; layer them if you'd like.

    Supplies:

    • Punches – Label Me Lovely, 2" circle, Medium Daisy, Confetti Flowers Border punches
      Designer series paper – Flowers for Every Season
      Ink & Card stock – 2020 In colors, Crumb Cake & White
      Dies – Tasteful Labels
      Stamps – Forever Fern, Lovely You
      Other – jewels, embossing folder, dimensionals, sponge

     

    Join me tonight when I make these three cards!
