  Hello there friends! There is a new kit from Taylored Expressions and I have a few samples to share with you. In the kit there is a sun ray stencil with an opening that fits the "hey there" sentiment perfectly.  I started by stamping the "hey there" sentiment, coloring it in with copic markers and then ink blending around the sentiment using the stencil. Its not showing up in the photo, but there is glossy accents over the sentiment. To embellish I added a few pink enamel dots.  For this next card, I used the "hey there" stencil and die using several different ink onto toffee cardstock. Then layering it onto a white car base and adding coordinating cardstock stripes underneath.  For the last card, I took the "good vibes" sentiment from the kit and stamped it over and over again using different colored inks. This created a custom background as well as a sentiment. The diecut circle sentiment and stamped panel were adhered using foam adhesive...

  Hello friends! I am sharing a few projects with you today, from the Tayloreed Expressions Fall/Thanksgiving release.  I peeked into the design team photos, and wow! There are so many beautiful projects going to be shown today. The A game was brought for sure. This first card looks fairly simple, but a lot of love, time and math went into it.  I stamped the background stamp onto a white panel, which has the leave stems. The stencils are created so that you can have an array of leaf colors on the stems. I wanted an ombre fall card, so as I layered each stencil, I only applied each ink color in a third of the card. Once the stenciling was complete I used the same inks to blend on the edges so the white wasn't so bright. Once the ink was dry, I took a white gel pen and went over the edges of each leaf.  The "happy fall y'all" stamp was stamped multiple times with the same inks, then diecut out with the coordinating die. Twine was added to embellish.  For my s...

  Friends!! Today Taylored Expressions turns 12!! Happy Birthday TE! I am so excited to share my first projects being on the TE Design Team.  There is a lot to share, so buckle up and lets get started.  First up is a bright & fun, happy birthday card. I started by stenciling the background with the new Bokeh Layered Stencils. Its a stencil set that has three different stencils that creates a bokeh effect.  Once the background was completed, I took the On The Block "happy" die, placed it at a diagonal and diecut it in the center of the panel. On a separate piece of white cardstock, I stamped the "happy" sentiment from On The Block Happy and used foam adhesive to place the stenciled panel over the stamped sentiment.  The cute party animals (giraffe and monkey) are from the Life Of The Party Set. They were stamped in black ink, and then colored in with copic markers, fussy cut and adhered to the card using foam adhesive. The "birthday" sentiment is from t...

 Hello, friends! Are you ready for cuteness overload? The Acorn House die set from Lawn Fawn, is ridiculously cute! There are so many scenes in my head that I cannot wait to create using this die. For this card the base< trees and top of the acorn were diecut with Kraft cardstock. To get a richer color I ink blended brown onto the edges for contrast. I did this this the acorn house as well. Behind the backdrop is a trimmed down piece of Into The Woods Remix patterned paper. Except for the "hello, friend" above the door, this is primarily a no stamping card. Are you following along with this release? What is your favorite stamp set or die so far?

 Friends. This might be my favorite stamp set we are showcasing this week. Its called Fox Costumes Before & Afters. It would be perfect and so fun to use with the Magic Picture Changer interactive die. Or, how I used it today just a regular schmegular card. To start, I created a background of purple and orange clouds. It magical and festive. Its also Lawn Fawn and 2020 so there are no rules. The critters were stamped in jet black ink, colored in with copic markers and then fussy cut out. The sentiment was stamped and then the critters were adhered above with foam adhesive. To embellish purple twine was added.  The Lawn Fawn design team, created some incredible samples with this stamp set, be sure to visit the blog to see them all!

  Hello friends! I have another new Lawn Fawn card to share with you today! It is from the newest stamp set called Den Sweet Den. It has the cutest little homey stamps that a bear would love. For this card I chose the stack of books, lamp, open book, coffee mug and bear images to create a clean and simple scene. I blended some light yellow ink onto the white card base, stamped the sentiment in black and then added stamped hearts. The images were stamped, colored in with copic markers and then fussy cut out. The images were then adored to the card front with foam adhesive. To embellish a double bow using twine was added. Make sure you are visiting the Lawn Fawn Blog everyday to see the beauful projects shown!

 Hello there friends! How are all of you doing? This has been not only the weirdest year, but such a strange summer as well. Since my children were little, we have always traveled and vacationed in the summer. So to have canceled trips is just a little sad.  Anyhow, I have a card to share with you today. The image on my card is from Big Acorn which is a new mini 2x3 stamp set from Lawn Fawn . I stamped the images with the Sugar Cookie ink, and then watercolored them. This technique is called no line watercoloring. Because, you cannot see the stamped detail of the images. The sentiment is from the Lets Go Nuts stamp set. Its a fall themed set with the cutest images.  Typically when I am watercoloring, I stick to Fabriano & Arches cold pressed watercolor paper. I just know I will get consistent results with both. To add a little bit of detail to the acorns, I used a white permanent pen and added some dots.  I love the summer months and warm weather. However, many o...
