Taylored Expressions / Doodle Birds Cardmaking Kit


It's time for a new kit from Taylored Expressions!
It's time for the Doodle Birds!

This kit is adorable and has some AMAZING add-ons this month!

Creating a card for someone special with a new home is super easy with these adorable birds.  I created the background using the Cloud Skies Piercing Plate along with the Building a Scene: Rolling Clouds (used as a stencil).

I added lots of white pigment pen details to make the images have some dimension.  I added a Wispy Grass Border at the bottom.

Next up, is a card to say "hi".  I knew I had to use one of the pre-printed cards included in the kit for some rainbow birds on the wires!

I added in some stenciled clouds along with clouds from Rainbow Cloud Duo Dies.  I added all the birdies with foam adhesive and added some clear drops!

Avery Elle / You Are My Jam


Hello!
I'm here sharing a sweet set called You Are My Jam from Avery Elle.  It's just the right amount of of country for me!

I did the paper piecing technique here along with some Copic coloring, stenciling, and heat embossing.  I've added some Midnight Stripes Washi Tape to the left side for interest.

Taylored Expressions / For Him Release

It's time for the "For Him" Release from Taylored Expressions!
There is so much for those masculine (and non-masculine) cards in this release. 
I have a few projects to share!


This first card uses the new Pocketful Die and First Draft.  Make sure to check below about the special for ordering the Pocketful Bundle!

The background was created using the Wonky Grid Background along with the newly released Wavy Stitch Stacklets.  Bleu Cheese ink was used for the background stamping.  The pen was inked up with the new Wood Slice Background in Oat Milk ink.  After adding in the die cut elements from First Draft, the pocket was added with foam adhesive.  The sentiment was white heat embossed and cut apart to fit on my pocket!

My next card uses the Wonky Grid Background again for another masculine card.  Again, it was stamped tone on tone on Oat Milk Cardstock.  A Green Tea Cardstock frame was added and a few elements from Garden Variety Prairie were tucked into the corner.  Finished the card off with a white heat embossed sentiment from Sundry Sentiments.

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

My third card uses the Triple Slim Stencil BoHo along with elements from the new set called Five O'Clock Somewhere.  I love that there are so many fun "spirits" you can add!  BUT that sentiment??  LOVE LOVE!  To tone down the stenciled background, a layer of stitched vellum was added to add my spirit elements.

First Draft die set

Avery Elle / Little Card Big Wishes


Hello!
It's graduation season and a new set called Little Card Big Wishes, from Avery Elle, is PERFECT for graduation cards!

Little Card Big Wishes2

I used the Random Dots Stencil and added dots twice using blue ink moving the stencil slightly the second time.  The center was masked off to allow for my sentiment placement.  I went with blue for our High School colors and kept it simple and masculine!  For just a bit of contrast, the supporting sentiment included in the Little Card Big Wishes set was stamped in black ink and the layered 'CONGRATS' was added with a blue backer layer.  While I didn't use the second layer but it is included in this die set!
