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.

  • Last of the Clean & Simple Team swaps!


    Today I'm sharing the last of the March Team swaps with the Clean & Simple theme.  No designer paper!

    Lori created with pretty card with the Linked Together bundle seen here. 

    This bundle has stamps, dies and masks which is how she created her background.  All using Bubble Bath ink! 

    I love her soft background and the die accents she added by the greeting.  Just gorgeous!  

    Next is a pretty card made by Tracey. She chose to use the You are Remarkable stamp set seen here.  

    She also stamped a soft background behind the flower using the Elements of Text set.  Her color include Daffodil Delight & Crumb Cake with a bit of green on the leaves.  

    I love how she stamped the inside; that bee is adorable. 

    And lastly is this beautiful all White card made by Jonna.  

    White on White is hard to photograph; I wish you could see how elegant it is in person!  

    She used the Seaside Wishes bundle along with a bunch of score lines on the left side. This little touch anchors the seashells wonderfully!  

    I hope you've enjoyed seeing my talented team swaps this month!

  • More amazing Clean & Simple swap cards by the Flowerbug’s


    I shared 4 of our Team swaps yesterday and today I'm sharing more. They're all incredible! 

    Our theme was to create cards that are 'Clean & Simple' without any designer paper.  This is NOT easy for some advanced stampers! 

    First up is Karen's card which is just her style: 

    She used the Mini corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here and linen thread.  Plus the Painted Lavender & Friends for Life die-cuts on her Basic Beige & White card.  

    Next is a stunning card made by Paula.  She used the new Thankful Garden bundle seen here.

    Her colors include Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake. She heat embossed the floral image in Gold embossing powder. The background is made with the Thankful Garden stencils included in the bundle.  

    Just gorgeous Paula!!

    And look at the incredible card Jacki made!  

    She used the Friends for Life dies and the Waves 3D embossing folder.  Simply White with a pop of Black for an elegant look. 

    Next is Joan's monochromatic card featuring the Coffee with Friends stamp set:

    She used Pecan Pie and colored the images in with watercolor pencils.  Beautifully done!  

    I'll share the last of our swaps tomorrow!

  • Team Card swaps with a Clean & Simple theme


    This week I'm sharing our Team card swaps from March.  Our theme was Clean & Simple which can be a challenge for some. We also couldn't use any designer series paper! 

    First up is a stunning card made by Deloris.  

    She masked her White card stock to sponge yellow & blue ink to create a pretty background for the floral stamp.  This flower is from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set.  Her card also has 3 layers of White – the bottom layer is textured.  Gorgeous!

    Ginny also used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set on her beautiful card:

    She used Petunia Pop with Granny Apple green and popped up her flowers on Dimensionals.  Well done!  

    Kim is a first time swapper in our group and did a great job on her card: 

    She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder here.  Her colors include Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. Sweet & simple!  Good job Kim!

    Candy made this adorable card with the Resourceful Rusty stamp set.  

    Her colors include Gray Granite, Real Red, & Balmy Blue.  She trimmed off half of her card front so the circle dies & main image hang over. 

    Other products include: New Mini Corrugated embossing folder, New Textured Notes dies, Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. Blends markers for coloring.  Love that tail!  

    More swaps will be shared tomorrow!
