Several months ago I received a Random Act of Kindness (RAK) card from Tanya Rees. The card is so pretty I've been wanting to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) it. This week I finally did as part of my bulk-batch card making. I made 2 of each colour.
The big Stitched Lace Die is so intricate that it can be a bit annoying to use if the bits (chads?) get stuck in the cardstock and/or die. After cutting a couple of them I finally remembered the trick of putting a layer of wax paper between the die and cardstock. It acts as a dry lubricant and 99% of the bits come out with a quick pass of the Take Your Pick Die Brush. To adhere it to the card base I used little dots of glue:
I stamped the sentiment multiple times on a piece of cardstock and then sliced it into very narrow strips.
Here's what I used to make these:

I hadn't played with the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder yet, but I've been seeing some great projects with it, so I decided to give it a play during my Facebook Live video this week. You can watch the replay on YouTube or Facebook. I will confess, I felt like today was a bit of a comedy show/circus! The first thing I did was to run 3 different types of foil through the embossing folder:  I really did CASE the card in the Mini Catalogue (p. 35), except for changing up the sentiment.   As I said in the video, the Brushed Metallic cardstock went through beautifully. The Red and Green Foil cardstock both had a bit of a cracking issue in the foil coating...which makes the evergreens look like they're dusted with snow...at least that's what I'm calling it! Then the Feels Like Frost 6x6" Designer Series Paper. It embossed with no issues, but be careful when cutting down to size, as the embossed parts will just rip apart with the paper trimmer's tracked blade...it's best to use a guillotine-style cutter (or cut to your desired size before embossing!)   Oh, yeah - as soon as I ended the video I scooped up my Sponge Daubers and put them back in their case...this is the second time in the last few weeks that I've done this. Sigh. At least it hasn't been spills that mess up cards!  Don't forget - if you live in Australia you can shop my Stampin' Up! store 24/7!

I'm working on building up my stash of cards so I can send a big batch to the U.S. for friends' birthdays. U.K. demonstrator Michelle Last CASE'd my Aussie demo friend, Kayla McCreadie. Kayla's version is beautiful, but I liked Michelle's simplified version enough to CASE it!
The Lovely You stamp set has both images and sentiments, which means it's the only set needed to make this card. It's bundled with the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch which I used for the tags. It can make 2 different shapes at the ends, and I tried both. Do you have a preference?
Here's a tip to help position your stamps: put the tag in the centre of the Whisper White panel and draw a pencil line above and below. Once you've stamped, erase the lines.

Today I'm playing along with Kylie's Monthly Team Blog Hop. Once you've looked at my post please click the links below to hop along to the rest of the blogs.
I was happy to have several friends join me for the September Zoom Crafting Session on Sunday. Most were U.S. and Australian stamping friends, but I also had a couple of U.S. friends from other parts of my life join in. Some people stamped, one worked on DSP packaging for bottles of hand sanitizer, one did digital scrapbooking, and one worked on rug hooking. It did my isolated self a lot of good. Here's what I made while we chatted: 
I used the strips of Designer Series Paper I cut off when I made these cards on my Facebook Live last week. In that session I made 8 cards in 1 hour...this time, even though I have the same basic layout for each card, since I wasn't doing my bulk batch assembly process, it took me 2 hours to make 4 cards. Well, and I was chatting a lot.
I swear, it still hardly looks like I've made a dent in the Boho Indigo Product Medley...and I've made over 20 cards with it!
Check out everyone else's great projects! Upcoming Classes & Events

The other week I decided to pull out some pieces of watercolour paper I'd used when I was playing around with Pigment Sprinkles and Embossing Paste last year and see what I could make. I decided to see how they would be made into flowers with the Peony Dies.  This card is a 5" x 7" one because I wanted to use all the flowers. I also used the Good Morning Magnolia stamps and Magnolia Memories Dies for the leaves. I really can't decide if it's ok, or looks like the dog's dinner. What do you think?

This card is another CASE of one in the Autumn Tutorial Bundle. I changed up many of the decorative details, but I liked the cardstock and Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) choices.
I think you can see that the DSP has been run through the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder, which gives it an even richer feel.
This fold has such a big impact, but folds flat to go in a standard envelope easily. The back has a blank panel for a message, too. I also like this fold rotated 90° so that it is horizontal. You can get all the measurements and directions for this and 81 other cards in the Autumn Tutorial Bundle! Trust me, it's a great resource!

Here is the project I made on this week's Facebook Live video. You can watch the replay on Facebook or YouTube.
I made 8 cards using the same layout and materials from the Boho Indigo Product Medley (AC p. 9) in 1 hour flat! I CASE'd the design from Kay Kalthoff. 
In the video I talk a bit about how I use a batch approach to making a quantity of the same cards, which I find makes it fast and easy.
Check out the great textures on the dry-embossed Very Vanilla sheets that come in this product medley. It's hard to see in my pictures, but the greenery has lovely gold foil accents, too.
As promised, here are measurements for the card layers: Centimetres: ½ sheet Night of Navy A4 cardstock, 14.9 cm x 21 cm, scored at 10.5 cm Boho Indigo DSP, 10 cm x 11 cm (or 10 cm x 14.4 cm)* Boho Indigo Dry-Embossed Very Vanilla: 10 cm x 4 cm *in my video I cut the shorter DSP length and overlapped Very Vanilla piece on the back and adhered with sticky tape...alternatively cut the DSP to the longer length and glue the Very Vanilla strip on top. Inches: ½ sheet Night of Navy Letter cardstock, 5-½” x 8-½”, scored at 4-½" Boho Indigo DSP, 4" x 5 ¼"* Boho Indigo Dry-Embossed Very Vanilla: 4" x 1 ¼" *in my video I cut my DSP short and adhere the Very Vanilla strip to the back with sticky tape to make the length I want. Here you just glue the Very Vanilla to the bottom of the front of the DSP layer. Here's what I used to make these cards: Upcoming Classes & Events

It does really feel funny to be doing all these projects with the word "autumn" in it as we are in spring now...but that's the name of the stamp set and punch bundle, so there you go.
This card is a CASE of one of the projects in the massive Autumn Tutorial Bundle that's I'm offering. I changed it up a bit for my purposes, but kept most of it as designed. 
I'm loving the trio of copper, brass and gold in the Brushed Metallic Foil Cardstock. This is a simple card, but it packs a big punch.

Beautiful Autumn Class Tutorial
Get full instructions to make these 6 cards featuring the Beautiful Autumn Bundle (MC p. 46). Includes measurements in both inches and centimetres. Cost: $10.00 I just got the Playful Alphabet Dies and was itching to make something with them. This is what my brain came up with:  Ooooh - so shiny! I used a piece of Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper and layered it on the gold Brushed Metallic Cardstock. I'd cut the Stitched Nested Label piece from the centre of it first (frugal tip!), so it was all ready to layer with the next-smaller Whisper White label. I took another strip of the Brushed Metallic gold and put pieces of the Foam Adhesive Sheets on the back. Then I cut out my Playful Alphabet letters and the birthday greeting from the Well Written Dies. They pop up so nicely from my otherwise flat card! The Gold Shimmer Ribbon isn't found in any printed catalogue...it was part of the Christmas Rose Suite offered online last year, and all of this beautiful suite is actually still available. Finally, I added a few of the Gilded Gems for even more golden shininess. What do you think? Is it right up your alley, or too much for you? Leave me a comment and let me know! Upcoming Classes & Events
A week ago I showed you my first set of cards using this technique. As I was finishing them up I wondered about doing the same thing with the Poinsettia Petals stamp set. Here's the results:
Once again I started by marking the centre point of my Whisper White cardstock, and then stamped around it, being sure to get a good mix of images in each quadrant. Then I cut it down to four panels and layered them on mats and card bases. I used the same sentiment on each, though I did change from a punch to a die after my first one. I like switching it up with some ribbon on these, too.
Have you started making your Christmas cards yet? I've got a few in my stash...and I'm looking forward to announcing my Christmas Classes soon! Watch this space!
