Wishes all Around Christmas card with video & free project sheet

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday weekend. We sure did!  We spent it with our kids – playing games, making puzzles and of course enjoying wonderful food.

~~~

Have you noticed the Wishes All Around bundle in the 2023 Holiday catalog?  

I've always loved wreaths.  In fact I used to collect them and put them up at Christmas time on a big wall in my dining room. 

I thought this Wishes All Around stamp bundle seen here had a wide variety of pretty stamps and wonderful dies.

I heat embossed the tree wreath image in White embossing powder and die-cut it with the coordinating dies. I added it onto three cut panels from the Brushed Gold Cards & envelopes; each one cut at 1 5/8" X 4" and added to my Navy card base. These panels are textured with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.

I love the fact that you can cut the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes into two card fronts; more bang for your buck! 

Below is a photo of all of the card swaps I made.  I truly love these Brushed Gold cards & envelopes. I've found them quite versatile and easy to use.

Here's a photo of this sweet bundle. As you can see it has three die-cut wreaths, snowflakes, trees and stems/berries. All meant to coordinate with the stamp set.

I made a second version in the video last week. Which do you prefer?

Bow on top or on the bottom of the wreath?  Gold or white embossed greeting?

Below is the video where I shared this pretty card.  Unfortunately this video has some blurry spots; I hope you can bear with me!

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

    Sept Lori Autumn Expressions 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. 

    Sept Lori Autumn Expressions 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.

    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.

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

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

    Sept Marla Splendid Autumn 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

    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:

    Caring leaves fall 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.

    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
