PRETTY FLOWERS

These cards turned out so pretty - even prettier in person!  I used the Spellbinders Yana's Daisies die cut. The embossing folder is also from Spellbinders called Molded Frame.  The sentiments are from Taylored Expressions Timeless Greetings.  

 

HAPPY EASTER!

 

THANKS SO VERY MUCH!

This is my favorite flower in the Taylored Expressions Nature's Canvas stamp set.  I colored it using the layering stencil set.  The background embossing folder is Spellbinders Loops.  The sentiment is from Altenew called Sweet Jasmine.  

SOUTHERN BOUQUET

Copic coloring for this next card.  

The stamp and die are from Amuse Studio Southern Bouquet.  The sentiment is Taylored Expressions Timeless Greetings.  The background is TE Pierced Circles.  What a pretty spring bouquet!

IN THE GARDEN

Here is the line up of inks I used on the Taylored Expressions Triple Slim In The Garden layering stencils. The colors are nice for a spring vibe.  

I splattered the cards with white ink.  The sentiments are TE Modern Sentiment Labels.  So pretty! 

MEADOW ASTER

It's been a while since I've done any coloring with Copic markers. I've been wanting to use this pretty floral.  It is Taylored Expressions Meadow Aster stamp and die combo.    

I ended up keeping this card pretty simple.  I added the stitched panel edge.  I used my score pal to add the score lines into the card front.  The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Beautiful Soul.  

TODAY'S MY BIRTHDAY!

It's my Birthday today!  Here are the handmade cards that I have received so far!  I feel really special!

GUY CARD

I decided to make a Taylored Expressions Map card with more manly colors.  I like how it turned out.  I used the Taylored Expressions Triangles die and cut out black, white and gray card stock.  I used the TE Crossroads cutting plate to add the stitched lines.  The sentiment is from TE Hello Friend stamp & die combo. 

THANKS SO MUCH

A quick thank you card was needed.  I used the Taylored Expressions Garden Gallery stamp & die for the greenery.  The sentiment is from TE called Timeless Greetings.  

 

BLESSED

I stamped out a few of the Taylored Expression Meadow Aster flowers and decided to color another one. This time I colored with cheery yellow!  

I followed a card design that I saw online.  I splattered the flower with white & dark brown inks.  I stamped the sentiment from Taylored Expressions Beautiful Soul stamp & dies.  

THINKING OF YOU

Another of the Taylored Expressions Nature's Canvas flowers.  I do love this floral set so much.  I used the stencils to color the flower and then die cut it out.  The background is a new gift with purchase embossing folder called Halftone Dots.  The sentiment is from TE called Timeless Greetings.  It's a new favorite of mine.  

OH-IO

I found some Ohio State related patterned paper in my stash so I decided to make another postage collage card.  I found a few stickers and letters to complete the simple card.  

 

Pieced Patterns

I wanted to try one of the Taylored Expressions Maps.  This is the Pieced Pattern Mini Slim version.  I used my TE card stock swatch ring to determine the colors.  I chose purple because I have someone in mind that loves purple!  

This looks like a mess! ha!  I roughly laid out the pattern so that I could see if I like the color design.  I took a picture of it so that I could follow the pattern.  I used tape runner on the "map" and then started putting the various die cut triangles and squares into place.  

I ran the panel through the Taylored Expressions Crossroads Cutting Plate.  It looks like quilting, so cool!  After I cut the panel to size, I added a thin border and used foam strips to attach the panel to the white card base.  I have to decide on the sentiment.  

I kept the sentiment simple because I didn't want to cover up the pretty design!

 

Pieced Patterns

There is something about pieces and parts that I enjoy putting together.  I followed Taylor's video to create these cards.  I like the rainbow colors.  I started with the Taylored Expressions Pierced Grid Cutting Plate.  This makes the pattern easy with the squares pierced into the panel.  I used the TE Triangles Pierced Patterns to cut out various colors of card stock.  Then starts the assembly process, it goes quickly and it's fun!  I used The Greetery Opposites Attract stamps & dies for the sentiments.  I added black enamel dots - and these cards are done!  

 

Nature's Canvas Florals

More of the Taylored Expressions Nature's Canvas florals.  They are so pretty!  I followed the ink blending directions from Mindy Eggen's video and the colors turned out just lovely!  I used various cover plates for the background and the Taylored Expressions Timeless Greetings & dies for the sentiments.
