TE June Key Ingredients Promotion

Hello everyone!  I'm back today to share a card that I created using the June Key Ingredients Kit and to share some exciting promotional news about subscribing to the KI monthly kit club.

This month's KI Kit is full of beautiful product, the Basic Grey Sweet Thread designer papers, the card stock, ribbons, brads and flowers are all so pretty and fun to work with.

For my card I used the TE stamp set Cozy Cottages to create a tent topper card.  The colors on this card are two of my favorite colors, the raspberry card stock with the chartreuse ribbon from the kit are such a great combination.  I used two of the patterns from the Sweet Thread designer papers and added rows of the Medium Scallop border die along with one of the little flowers with a brad in the center to the edge of my image.

The birthday card that I created for Taylor uses the stamp sets Friendship Blooms (with coordinating Leafy Branch die) and In the Park, along with those sets I used the supplies from June's Key Ingredients Kit (which will be available June 15).  The Basic Grey designer papers, ribbons, flowers and brads are all so pretty this month, you're going to love them!

  

What's a fantasy party without fantasy gifts? If money were no object, this would be my gift to you Taylor a personalized matching mother and daughter pearl bracelet set.

Taylor I hope you enjoy your day!

Fresh Flowers - Thank You

Hello friends!  I hope you had a nice Easter holiday.  Today I have another card that I've created using April's Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kit and the TE stamp set Fresh Flowers.  I started out by stamping one of the pitcher and stemmed flower images from the Fresh Flowers stamp set then colored the image with my Copics and then added one of the red paper roses from the kit for some dimension.  I used more of The Girl's Paperie Kitch collection designer paper from the kit (love this paper) and kept my layout clean and simple.  It may be difficult to see from the photo but I added a few of the pearls from the kit to the tops of the Medium Scallop Border for a bit of detail.

SSSC113 - Friendship Blooms

 It's time for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!  I love this versatile sketch that Karen has given us to create with this week and I hope you'll play along.

For my card I used the Taylored Expressions stamp set Friendship Blooms and the supplies from my TE Key Ingredients Kit for April.  I stamped my sentiment on the lower portion of my die cut circle and used the Leafy Branch die and three of the Friendship Blooms die cut flowers and attached them to the upper left on my circle.  Then I added two of the pink paper roses from the kit in the centers of each flower.  I added my ribbon, bow and some pearls to complete my card.  The Girl's Paperie Kitch collection papers from this months kit are so pretty and the paper roses, ribbons and pearls are the perfect embellishments to go along with them.  For more information on subscribing to receive a Key Ingredients Kit or for more ideas in using this months kit you can click here.

 Hello!  Today's card is one that I created using the Taylored Expressions March Key Ingredients Kit and the TE stamp set Friendship Blooms.  I love the mix of the My Mind's Eye designer papers with the fun ribbons and embellishments from this months kit.  I used the green rhinestone brads from the kit in the center of each of the flowers from the Friendship Blooms set and popped them up using foam tape, I also added a row of scallops toward the bottom of my card using the TE Medium Scallop Border Die.

Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past Blog Hop

Welcome!  Today is the Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past Blog Hop and whether you're hopping along or just stopping by I'm glad you're here!

The theme for this month's hop is "Spring" so I pulled out my TE Tweet Hearts stamp set with the sweet birds, flowers and branch along with the Taylored Expressions March Key Ingredients Kit to create my card.  I used a sheet of the pretty vibrant floral print and polka dot papers from the My Mind's Eye designer papers in the kit, added some ribbon and one of the cute wooden buttons all from the kit.  Then I stamped my branch and leaves, stamping and cutting the birds nest and bird separate and added them to the branch popping up the nest.  I stamped out and added my sentiment to the upper right hand corner of the card and it was complete.  For information on receiving a Key Ingredients Kit for yourself you can click here or for more ideas using this month's kit you can click here.

SSSC106 - Discover Your Wings Thank You

 It's time for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, Karen has another fabulous sketch for all of us to create with this week and we hope you'll join in and play along!

For my card I dove into my Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kit for this month (there is so much good stuff that comes in these kits) and chose to use more of the pretty flocked designer paper, this time in red and paired it with black for a more dramatic look.  I used the TE stamp set Discover Your Wings and stamped the flower silhouette from the set and "Thank You" sentiment from the stamp set Branching Out in black.  I also layered together two of the flowers and red rhinestone brad that come in the Kit and added that to the lower left of my card.  For information on signing up to receive a Key Ingredients Kit for yourself you can click here.

Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past Blog Hop

Hello and welcome!  Today is the Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past Blog Hop and the theme for the Hop is to either use the color green or "green" materials on your TE project.  Well I decided to use some of the pretty supplies from my TE Key Ingredients Kit for this month and the TE stamp set Discover Your Wings to create a scrapbook page for my daughter using the color green with brown.

I started out with a sheet of the 8 1/2" x 11" brown cardstock from the kit and stamped the silhouette of the flower image from the Discover Your Wings set along the bottom of the page.  Then I used pieces of the green cardstock and added them vertically down the right side of the page and stamped the flowers again in green on the bottom piece.  I took the green pattern 6"x 6" piece and adhered it an inch from the upper right corner, then cut out a scallop border using my TE Medium Scallop Border Die and adhered it to the bottom of the brown Lush My Mind's Eye designer paper that comes in the Kit and adhered that to the middle right section of my page.  Then came the fun part of adding the details like the ribbon, decorative brad with flower, butterflies, word tags and cool Lush brown chip board letters that are available as an add on to this month's TE Key Ingredients Kit (click below for a close up view).

Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients

Friday at last!  Today's card was created using some of the supplies from this month's Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kit.  The My Mind's Eye designer papers that are in this months Kit are so rich and elegant looking, I love how some of them have a velvety flocking on them and the patterns are wonderful! 

For my card above I started out with a chocolate brown card base and went with a mix of the pink polka dotted designer paper and the brown flocked paper, I stamped my image from the TE stamp set Discover Your Wings and the Thank you sentiment from the Branching Out stamp set.  I used my Taylored Expressions Medium Scallop Border Die tucked under the edge of the brown flocked designer paper then tied on my ribbon.  I layered two of the lovely flowers with a pearl brad that all come in the Kit and added them to the corner of my image to finish it off.

Have you seen some of the fabulous projects that my team mates have created over at the Key Ingredients Blog?  If not you have to pop over and take a look!  You can click here to visit the KI Blog and if you'd like you can click here to visit this month's KI Gallery.

Taylored Expressions February Key Ingredients Kit Count Down

 Happy Thursday Everyone!  Today marks the first day of the Taylored Expressions February Key Ingredients Kit Count Down!  On the 15th of each month a new Kit is released and you're going to love this months Kit, it's filled with gorgeous designer papers from My Mind's Eye, cardstock, decorative brads, ribbons, flowers and more!  For all of the details and to see Taylor's fabulous projects on the Key Ingredients blog today you can click here.

For my first set of projects using this month's Kit I decided to go with a soft monochromatic birthday card and tin.  I used the Taylored Expressions stamp sets Summer Afternoon, Branching Out and Discover Your Wings.

 For the card I used the double sided designer paper and used one side of the paper for the top portion of my card and the other side for the bottom and added a band of the blue cardstock below the center, then added my stitching and ribbon.  I stamped the pretty flower ivy image with the butterflies and dragonfly from the Summer Afternoon set onto the vanilla cardstock from the Kit and added a scallop mat.  Then cut out a 1 5/8" circle of the vanilla cardstock and stamped my "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Branching Out set, I added a mat and adhered it to the center of the image.  I stamped the butterfly from the Discover Your Wings stamp set and added a touch of glitter to the tips of it's wings and added it to the center circle.

 For the tin I repeated most of the same steps I did for the matching card except I added two layered flowers and a pearl brad {love these embellishments from the Kit} to the center circles as well as a bow from the matching ribbon and two glittered butterflies from the Summer Afternoon stamp set.  I wrapped the designer paper around the bottom portion of my tin and added a band of the ribbon around the top edge of the lid.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

SSSC101 - Happy Birthday Cupcake!

 Happy Wednesday!  I'm a few days late with my card for this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch because this last weekend I was sick and wasn't up to stamping.  So now that I'm feeling much better I wanted to share the card I created using the SSSC101 and the Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Kit.  This month's KI Kit is so fun, the papers and supplies in the kit are cheerful and sweet with all the glitter, hearts and buttons!  I used the TE stamp set For the Love of Cupcakes on this card and as you can see I flipped the sketch so my card was vertical and as I'm typing this post I'm now noticing that my card is not actually following the sketch (great!) oh well it is what it is and I had fun making it.

 If you'd like to see more samples using this month's KI Kit you can click here to visit the Key Ingredients gallery!

OK I'm not sure what happen to my sketch picture here but this was the best I could do.
