Fabulous fun fold card with the Fluffy Squirrel bundle

November 28, 2025

I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend. We are spending it with my kids, eating, playing games and visiting more family.

I am proud to share Candy’s swap card with you. It’s for our ‘foil’ themed November Team swap. She featured the Fluffy Squirrel bundle seen here.

There are so many things that absolutely make this card a winner! She did case it from Ruth’s Stamping Corner.
First of all the Need for Tweed designer series paper; how perfect! Then there’s the cute acorns that are included in the punch! Then the Earthen Toned foil paper circle – punched with our 2 3/8″ circle punch. And what about that neat fold she created!

It’s basically a book-binding card fold but with a twist. She is great about sending me her Measurements:
– Lost Lagoon 11″ X 4 1/4″ score on long side at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″, 2nd piece is 3 1/4″ X 4 1/4″
– Vanilla – 2″ X 4″ and her sentiment is 3″ X 7/8″
– Need for Tweed – 3″ X 4″, 1″ X 4″ & 2″ X 4″

Thanks for making this adorable swap card for us Candy!

Today I'm sharing a really neat fall themed card swap made by Lori. It's so pretty!

Save

She used the Autumn Expressions bundle seen here. It has the neatest double frame die plus the chain, pretty leaves and more.

She used the gorgeous Splendid Autumn DSP for her textured background and also for the scene inside the hanging frame. This DSP is unavailable right now; it should be back sometime this week. You can see it here.

Save

Don't you love the foil frame and hanging chain?!

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"
- Crushed Curry 4" X 5 1/4"
- Textured DSP 3 3/4" X 5"
- Vanilla inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
Can you see how the frame lifts up? It reveals the back of the DSP on top and the stamped greeting inside.

Save

I love the pretty greetings in this set. And below you can also see the dies that are included. The frame folds on the scored hinge but you can use it alone too.

Save

Here's the inside view. Her colors include Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Vanilla & copper from the Textured Metallic specialty paper seen here.

Save

Next is another pretty card made by Marla. She also used the Splendid Autumn Designer paper for this fun fold card.

Save

One 6" X 5 1/4" DSP piece is cut into 3 pieces to create this neat card.

Measurements: She scored her 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" Cajun Craze card base as follows: 2 1/8" and 2 1/4". The DSP and Vanilla layers are all 2" X 5 1/4". The best thing about these scenic cards is how the scene continues as you open the card. So be sure to cut and adhere the pieces in order.

The greeting is from Thoughtful Journey; the leaf images are from You are Beautiful & maybe Irresistible Blooms.

Casing my friend with Caring Leaves & video

September 23, 2024
Last week I was out of town to see my son get married in the beautiful Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming.

Save

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:

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.
