Taylored Expressions / Talking in Circles Cardmaking Kit

 Wahoo!  

It's time for another AMAZING card kit from Taylored Expressions!  

Talking in Circles Cardmaking Kit is SO perfect for literally any occasion, gender, color combo, etc.!!!

Check out all the kit details at the bottom of my post and for the bundle available!

I went GROOVY for my first card and used a fun retro color combination.......Dragonfruit, Sweet Potato, and Macaroon.  

This card uses the Talking in Circles TE Maps that are included in the kit.  They come in both Sugar Cube and Toffee (available outside the kit).  I also used the Stitched Alpha Dies with Black Licorice cardstock.  The circle panel was trimmed down using the Stitched Rectangles Stacklets and added to a Macaroon card panel.

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

My second card has a quilt theme and this sentiment from What's Cookin' is PERFECT.  

I used the Talking in Circles Piercing Plate Die as a template to layer the full circle die cuts onto.  I was able to then run the panel through my Big Shot again with the Talking in Circles Piercing Plate Die to add the piercing to the circles.  A simple frame from Frame in Frame Cutting Plate.

☘☘

Let's start with my favorite project from this release using the Happy Go Lucky Layering Stencil along with the My Lucky Charm Stamp & Die Combo.  My color combo was Pink Champagne, Dill Pickle, Macaroon, Sweet Potato Pie, Pineapple, Bubblegum, and Sprinkles.

I love the simplicity of this card using these stencils along with the magic that happens with them!  Anyone else grow up eating Lucky Charms as a kid?  I sure did!  I added a simple frame from Frame in Frame Cutting Plate using Dill Pickle cardstock.

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

My next project uses the Rainbow of Possibilities Stencil in the colors of Pink Champagne, Peaches 'n Cream, Banana Cream Pie, Mint Julep, Sprinkles, and Macaroon.  

After stenciling, the rainbow was die cut using the Sweetheart Shaker Die Set.  The rainbow heart was layered over a Cloudy Days Piercing Plate.  A simple script sentiment from With Love.

I went with deep plums and oranges for this along with a Dotted Chevron pierced background.  All inks were Pinkfresh Studio....they are incredible inks!  The sentiment is from a new set called You Are My Rainbow.

Before my die cut was adhered, it was spritzed with a metallic mist.  As a final touch, Champagne glitter drops were added to the florals.

This first one uses the very trendy checkerboard that you see everywhere whether it's fashion or in home decor!  I had a bit of fun with this unusual color palette but I love how it turned out!!!

Using the Pierced Grid Cutting Plate and the True Colors Swatch Squares dies......this card was quick to put together!!  Reference my color swatches above for my color palette!!  The sentiment, from Hello Friend, is stamped on Buttercream Frosting Cardstock.
