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.

  • Wow! Check out this fabulous fun fold that’s actually easy! Video & free project sheet too


    I'm super excited to share this neat fancy fold card with you today.  I made it on a recent video which I've added towards the bottom of this post.  

    I chose to use the beautiful Botanical Textures DSP seen here with Petunia Pop, Black & White.

    It starts out with a 11" X 4 1/4" piece of card stock that you score three times.  Then you add a 'bridge or brace' in the center that does the fun pop-up work.  Watch the video to see how it's done. And check out the free project sheet below too.  

    I stamped the greeting with the Linked Together stamp set and the leaves with the Textured Notes stamp set. The greeting die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. 

    It folds perfectly flat for mailing too!  

    I hope you'll watch the video below to see how to assemble this neat card. It's super fun to play with.

  • Double Easel fun fold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this neat fun fold on last week's Live video.  I record them on Facebook Live then upload to YouTube so you can view them either place. 

    My color combination is Summer Splash with Black & White.  The new Botanical Textures DSP inspired this fun fold card. 
    I love how the three butterflies die-cut is placed on 3 Black circles; they would have been lost if placed directly on the DSP. 
    We made this project at last week's Team gathering.  They loved it! 
     
    Products used:
    • Botanical Textures DSP seen here
    • Sketched Butterfly bundle
    • Beautiful Butterflies stamp set
    • Fancy Border dies (seen here) 
    • Label punch
