Taylored Expressions January SOTM

I have some cards to share today that I made with the Taylored Expressions Stamp of the Month kit. I love this stamp set - so much fun to play with!


This first card uses the heart stamp and lots of copic coloring. Subtle texture behind the hearts adds focus to the hearts. Here is a close up of the hearts and shows how they are popped up by foam tape.


This next card uses the "XO" stamp from the set. I stamped it several times on watercolor paper with versamark, using a Stamp-a-ma-jig to help with alignment. I heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then covered it with several distress inks: Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves, Dusty Concord, Faded Jeans, and Tumbled Glass. After inking it up I spritzed it with pearl-ex and water. Super shimmery and fun!


This last card uses the dies from the "Love M'stache" set that coordinates with the kit. I loved the idea of using a "girly" flowery patterned paper to die cut the mustaches.


Thank you for stopping by today!

Splendid Sunflowers

Happy Saturday!

I really want to try to blog more often this year. I have been keeping myself busy making cards and I just need to find the time to sit down and blog them!

Today I have three different cards to share using MFT's Splendid Sunflower stamp set. Love it! I think this stamp is so versatile and can be used for literally any occasion. Clearly however, I think the sunflower belongs on kraft paper... :)

While making this first card I stumbled upon a happy coincidence - the Oval Tab Die-Namics was the exact same width as the rounded rectangle shape from the Blueprints 3 Die-Namics. Perfect, right?!


This next card uses a background stamp from Hero Arts which I think adds the perfect subtle touch.


Another get well soon card - clean and simple!


Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
