Lights of Aurora scenic card with project sheet & video tutorial

October 13, 2025

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video:

It features the Lights of Aurora suite seen here. I made sure to cute my designer paper at 3″ wide so I could get 2 pieces from each 6″ piece. We made this pretty card at my September card clubs.

Besides the DSP & colors (Balmy Blue & Pool Party) do you notice another difference? Look at the ribbon; I tried a new technique of rolling the Balmy Blue sheer ribbon on the left card. Something different!

Another time saving tip for this card is that I could die-cut two sets of trees at the same time with the extra long die in the bundle seen here:

These sentiments & die-cut are from the Peace on Earth bundle; the leaves are from the Textured Notes set.

Tip; add balance to your card by placing the main layers off to one side and the greeting on the other.
This suite has been really popular with my customers. It’s something special & unique we’ve never had before. See it here.

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

Check out these CUTE Potions & Spells Halloween card swaps

September 19, 2024

Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap – our theme was Fall or Halloween cards.

Today's first card is made by Ginny who chose the Potions & Spells bundle.

Save

Such an adorable card! She cased it from Julie Gilson. I love the colors of Granny Apple Green, Black, gray, Peach Pie with bits of purple & yellow.

Check out this cute bundle here.

Save

The White background is stamped with a few small images, then ink is added lightly with a Blending Brush before it's textured. The cat, broom and stack of books are adorable!

Save

Next is a fun card made by Robin who used this same bundle. She also added a ghost from the Playful Ghosts stamp set.

Save

She's a master at sponging her backgrounds. I sure love her color scheme of purple, green & black.

Next is Candy's striking card also using the Potions & Spells bundle.

Save

She used the bubbles image to make her own background. The oozing slime and bubble die-cuts are the Old Olive glimmer paper. I love the White Deckled Circle die-cut behind the cauldron. It looks like a moon.

Here's the inside of her cute book-binding card:

More swaps coming tomorrow!
