The Crafty Tools of the Trade Dies are my FAVORITE from the release!  I created a rainbow of paint brushes on a black background die cut with the Diagonal Stitched Rectangle Stacklets (hard to see here).  Each brush has a coordinating enamel dot.  Adding in a sentiment with an adorable font from You Color Me Happy.

The stenciled panel was trimmed and each side flagged with Black Licorice Cardstock.  Another sentiment from Color Me Happy and the Paint the Town paintbrush dies were added to his card over a panel of vellum.

Taylored Expressions / Cute Combos Release / Promotions!


You are in for a real treat this week as we have fabulous Cute Combos Release from Taylored Expressions!


This release is full of something for everyone.  Boots, critters, celebration, and more!  These sets come with matching dies for the images!!  I have FOUR cards to share so let's go see them!

This first card uses You're My Jam......a set with two guitars and and three sentiments.  Started with stamping the Linen Background with Sugar Cube ink onto Black Licorice Cardstock.  I created a shaker focal point using the Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 and adding in some Clay Stars Bits & Pieces.  After Copic coloring the guitar, it was die cut and added to the shaker as an accent.  A sentiment was added along with some die cut elements from Mix Tape.

My second card uses the set called Cute to Boot.  This card was started by using the Burlap Embossing Folder for a textured background.  Elements from the die set All Planned Out 1 were die cut and layered for a fun layout.  The boots were stamped onto Toffee Cardstock and die cut.  After Copic coloring, they were added to the card along with a stamped sentiment and Clay Stars Bits & Pieces.

They're baaaacccckkk!!  My third card uses the adorable Gertie and Gus: On a Roll.  The background was done using a Foil It Totally Rad panel and foiled in Silver Shimmer Fun Foil.  The panel was ink blended with the Create in Quads: Totally Rad.  Gertie and Gus were Copic colored, die cut, and added with foam adhesive along with a sentiment to finish the card.

My fourth card uses a set that will be perfect for those masculine or sympathy cards called Tranquil Tree.  The trees were stamped in Cupcake and Toffee Inks across the panel.  They were highlighted with frames from Stitched Frames Stacklets 1.  Some rolling hills were added with Fluffy Snow covered glitter using the Build a Scene: Rolling Hills.

My color palette includes Honey, Spearmint, Jalapeno, and Pink Champagne inks.  The sentiment was die cut several times and layered for dimension.  Sentiment was layered over a panel of Spearmint cardstock that was embossed with the Bursting Dots Embossing Folder.
