WOODLAND BLOOMS

I'm using a favorite of mine for a few more cards.  The Woodland Blooms by Taylored Expressions is always a good thing!  This time I stenciled the color onto the Foil It's.  The card on the right I used the Woodland Blooms die and cut out the floral spray using the Garden Trellis embossing folder in the background.  The card on the left I used the Quilted Cutting plate after I had done the stenciling.  The sentiments are from the same stamp set.  

MEGA FLORAL CALENDAR

I fell in love with this calendar idea from The Stamp Market.  I ordered the calendar and the Mega Floral die to complete the project.  It was pretty easy - I just chose a color for the flower each month and then added the sparkle to the center of the flower.  I did also foil each month with a gold foil.  There is a video tutorial online that gives all the measurements to make the easel for the calendar.  

I decorated the front of the easel with a piece of patterned paper.  So pretty!

My foiling was spotty in places and I'm not sure why that happens sometimes.  I tried to pick a color of card stock to go with each month.  This is really a cute idea and didn't take too much time to put it together.  

PICTURE PERFECT!

This is the first time I used the new Picture Perfect Quad from the Combo Club. Kinda fun for guy cards.  

FLOWERS & SUCH

This is a new stencil set from Taylored Expressions.  Seeds & Such Flowers including Poppy, Marigold, Daisy and Sunflower.  

The Flower cards turned out pretty!  

THINKING OF YOU

This is a card that I copied that was created by Heather Nichols.  I used the Frond Embrace die for the greenery.  I added the white flower and gems in the center.  The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions called Together in Type.  

A YEAR OF DOODLES CALENDAR

I used a whole lotta Copic Markers to color this Year of Doodles by Taylored Expressions.  

After getting all the months colored I stamped the scallop frame to match the colors in the doodle design and then attached them to the 5x7 Calendar.  It was quite a project but I like how it turned out.  Probably only making one of these... 

 

CRAFY TIME!

Recently I had friends visiting and we got a little crafty!  We made tags and lots of cards.  Each of us had a project to share so it was a fun afternoon!  

 

MAKE N' TAKE

This is a pretty Make n Take card that I recently put together at the Taylored Expressions Studio. We started with a Foil It and then colored with OLO markers.  I added a different sentiment when I got home.  

FLOWER PRESS PUZZLE

Another puzzle - this one is from Concord & 9th called Flower Press.  I placed an order recently for their new card stock and ink colors and saw they had a puzzle marked down.  It was a fun one!

2027 CALENDAR!

I wanted to create my 2027 calendar with the new products from Taylored Expressions.  I used the Soft Surrounds wreath stamped in Green Tea ink.  And then I went to die cutting - A LOT of die cutting & coloring!  I used the Year of Blooms flowers from the 2025 freebie collection.  I die cut the Vases & Places 1 & 2 for the basket and vases.  I ink blended the containers and also splattered them.  I followed the order of the flowers according to each month that we received them - January through December.  I added a bit of greenery here and there and a couple of mushrooms.

 

Here is the whole year.  It was quite a project, but I love how it turned out.  My 2027 calendar is all ready to go!

EASTER PUZZLE

A fun Easter puzzle that I put together on Saturday.  It was a cool, rainy day and the perfect day to enjoy a puzzle!  

 

EASTER BLESSINGS

I made a variety of Easter cards.  Besides the bunnies I also made these using the Waffle Flower Postage Collage series.  These were pretty simple - after blending the blue sky background just simple black ink to stamp the various images.  Easter Blessings!  

EASTER BASKET

I made up this Easter basket for a friend.  We took a meal to her last week as she is recovering from surgery. I thought the Easter basket was a nice addition.  The basket was at Target in the dollar spot for $5.  It's really pretty!  

EASTER from THE GREETERY!

More Easter from The Greetery.  I'm am loving this series of embossing folders, dies and a sentiment stamps.  These type of cards are mostly die cutting and putting together but I sure love the results!

 

SECOND BLOOM DAY 2

More of these beautiful Second Bloom cards.  The same design with different sentiments.  I used Taylored Expressions Papaya & Persimmon ink for the pink flowers.
