Taylored Expressions October Key Ingredients Kit

 Hello there friends!  I'm super excited to share the projects I've created today using the Taylored Expressions October Key Ingredients Kit!!!  On the 15th of each month Taylored Expressions releases a new Key Ingredients Kit which is loaded with beautiful papers, ribbons and embellishments.  To view all of the details for this months KI Kit or to sign up for a subscription you can click here.

 On the 15th of each month when the new KI Kit is released Taylor issues a challenge to jumpstart every one's creativity.  This month the challenge was to use the October KI Kit and create a simple card that could easily be recreated (card above) and then to create a stepped up version of that card (card below).  I used the Taylored Expressions stamp set Branching Out for both of my cards and the fun Imaginisce Cider Apple designer paper, cardstock and ribbon from the Key Ingredients Kit.  For my first card I kept it relatively simple with most of my stamping being done directly onto my main image panel and only a bird and few leaves popped up for dimension.

For the stepped up version of my first card I added more detail, which included added dimension to the top of the tree, two birds, a nest, more leaves, border punch, stamping and matting my sentiment, a hilltop for the tree and buttons.  As a perk for Key Ingredient Kit subscribers Taylor has put together a step-by-step instruction sheet for the cards you not only see here on my blog post today but for all of the other cards the women on the team have designed for the challenge.
