Taylored Expressions / O Christmas Tree Cardmaking Kit

July flew right by! 
It's time for another cardmaking kit from Taylored Expressions.  It is a cute Christmas themed kit called 'O Christmas Tree' and is available NOW!

****Shop Taylored Expressions**** 

This first card features the main tree image done in Poblano Pepper, Confetti Cake, and Hot Fudge inks.  The stencil used has a 3rd layer that was used to add Happy Medium-Iridescent Glitter.  The snowflake background was stamped in Pink Champagne ink and then stamped again with Versamark.  The snowflakes were then heat embossed with clear embossing powder for a fun shine.  A single pink present was tucked under the tree along with a white heat embossed split sentiment from a new Mini Strips Holiday 2 set in a new font!

******************

 My second card also features the tree as the main image but done in Pink Champagne, Raspberry Sorbet, Mulled Wine, and Hot Fudge inks.  Over the 3rd layer of the stencil the same Happy Medium-Iridescent Glitter was added (this time over the Mulled Wine color).  The tree and adorable presents were added over a background done with the Burlap Embossing Folder.  The white heat embossed sentiment is from the new Mini Strips Holiday 2 sentiment set.  Did you see the adorable little birdie sitting in the tree???  It's a new die set called Winter Birds and is just so SWEET!!!!

Taylored Expression / Seeds & Such Cardmaking Kit

Happy Tuesday! 

The last Tuesday of June is here and Taylored Expressions is releasing their Seeds & Such Cardmaking Kit that has adorable seed packets and colorful veggies. 

This kit is so AMAZING!!  There are so many ways to use these products!!

I created mini cards that just fit inside the seed packet!!  I started by stamping the seed packets in Salt Water Taffy ink and used the coordinating dies to cut out.  

The images were ink blended with various inks using the stencils and die cut.  They were added to a piece of inked cardstock behind the frame of the seed packet.  To create the cards, I added a layer behind using the Frame in Frame Cutting Plate.  This gave the cards a little twist with the scallop edge!  

Here you can see how they stand up........I love creating mini cards!!

Taylored Expressions / Summer Release

Hello! 

While the temps aren’t exactly screaming summer, Taylored Expressions has their Sweet Summer release this week and we’re hoping it brings with it a little sunshine and warmth! Here are the release details:

There are some great product "convenience bundles" available:

Summertime Sips

and

All Around Summer Town

SHOP Taylored Expressions!!

Give me all the citrus......especially limes :) BUT I have a sweet card using the new Fresh Squeezed Dies.

After die cutting the limes and lemons, they were ink blended with whatever color was left on my brushes.  I love how it turned out!  They were arranged over a panel that was die cut using the Squiggle Stacklets Dies and layered with the Easy Strips 1/4" in Black Licorice cardstock. To finish, a bold black sentiment from Let's Chill was added.

************

Next is a card using the Around Town Summer Town.....which is a new variation to use on the Around Town Stencil.

I stenciled the Around Town Stencil with Green Tea Ink and then over top, used the Mini Slim On the Dot Stencil using the same ink on the brush.  After all the images were ink blended and die cut, they were arranged around my scene with foam adhesive.  A frame (from Frame in Frame 3) was added along with a cute sentiment from the new Enjoy Today stamp set.
