VILLA

A recent release from The Greetery!  This Jumbo Villa die was so fun to put together.  I followed a video that Laura Bassen did using all Concord & 9th card stock.  Turned out so cute!  

The second villa I used my scraps of card stock.  It looks kinda green in this picture but it is more of an off white/tan color.  I added in the door and put window outlines in the arches - I'm not sure if I love the square window panes in the arched openings but anyway it was fun to make!  

PERENNIAL SCENES

Thanks Doreen for inspiring me to get out this pretty Taylored Expressions Perennial Scenes layering stencil.  The colors are so bright and cheery.  Ink colors are all Taylored Expressions - Lollipop, Pumpkin, Cilantro and Sweet Basil.  My panels are foiled with Gold foil but it doesn't show up too well in the photo. 

I only used one of the panels so far to make a card.  I used the new Taylored Expressions Fineline Frame embossing folder from my recent Combo Club goodies.  The sentiment is from Concord & 9th called You are the Best.  

ATTABOY!

I was in need of a few more guy birthday cards.  I bought this Attaboy stamp set from Unity Stamps a while back.  They were quick and easy cards.  I found patterned paper that seemed somewhat masculine.  These are ready for the next couple of male birthdays on my list!

BOTANICAL BEAUTY!

This floral is from Taylored Expressions called Botanical Beauty Background.  I believe I bought this last year at the annual TE Garage sale so this product is retired.  I do love all the pretty flowers.  

YOU CRAZY KIDS!

All Taylored Expressions products.  I used the Crab and die from the Critter Crew from the month of July.  The toffee card stock is stamped with the linen background.  I used dies for the water and the sunshine is a stencil.  I thought this would make a cute anniversary card. 

 

HELLO SUMMER!

I followed along with Taylor's video that she posted when this bundle came out a few weeks ago. It was fun to make these three mini slim cards with the new products.  I used products from the Coastal Collage bundle and the Fresh Squeezed die set.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELENA

Happy Birthday Elena!  I found a creative way to incorporate an Amazon gift card into her birthday card. I used the Taylored Expressions Beach Bound die set and Endless Summer Stamp set for the sentiment.  

GATHERED GARDEN

This is the free with $100 purchase from Taylored Expressions for the month of July.  I stamped the floral and then colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is also part of the set. 

CARDS IN THE MAIL

THANK YOU for the cards Ladies.  Looks like you both like Taylored Expressions!  

CRITTER CREW

My Taylored Expressions Critter Crew collection is filling in nicely.  I decided to make my own magnetic sheet since TE isn't planning to come out with anything.  

HAPPY 4th!

These pretty patriotic Foil Its are from Taylored Expressions.  It is a quick and easy card - I foiled blue on the top for the stars and red for the stripes.  The sentiments are from various sources.  

HAPPY 250th AMERICA!

I made a few 4th of July cards this year.  I don't make them every year but with our country celebrating 250 years I thought it was about time!  I used mostly products from The Greetery. The embossing folder on the bottom card is from Taylored Expressions.  The stitched white stripes are from Mama Elephant.  It's fun to use various companies in my card making!  

PRETTY PRESSED PETALS

Taylored Expressions Combo Club for June was a big hit for me.  I love the pretty Pressed Petals kit that included stamps, stencils and dies.  I used a Foil It on one of the cards.  I enjoyed changing up the background on the cards for a variety of styles.  

PICKLEBALL FUN!

I'm into pickleball now!  I took a few lessons and now have been playing and trying to get better. It's fun!  This stamp/die set is from Spellbinders.

CRITTER CREW HOLIDAYS!

I had fun die cutting and coloring these images so they are ready to go.  This is the Taylored Expressions Critter Crew Stamp & Die Combo for the all the Holidays!
