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.  

TIMELESS BLOOMS

A new Quad stencil for me from Taylored Expressions.  The Timeless Blooms were released a while go but I didn't buy it at the time so they are having the Second Chance release so I went for it this time.  It creates 4 card fronts once you complete the layering stencils.  I did use the Foils for these and I cut the one panel in half to create two cards.  There was also an idea to make book marks out of the taller florals.  I followed the colors that Taylor used on a video - I really like her use of the script background over top of the flowers.  I wanted to use my new Embossing folders so they are Tweed and Geo Blooms - these are both free with purchase of $100 during the month of February.  I really like them both!  My newest love is mixed fonts in the Together in Type sentiment stamp & die combo.  I used the Foil Its on these cards.  One of the great things about them is that you can cut them all with one die - so quick & easy!  

PICKLEBALL

I have a couple of friends who are big into pickleball.  I picked up the notecards at TJ Maxx and then repackaged them and made a cute tag.  The die cut is called Little Bits Pickleball by Taylored Expressions.  

WITH GRATITUDE

I went to the Taylored Expressions Studio yesterday and took time to do the Make n' Take.  The card is foiled and then ink blended with three different inks.  It was quick and simple but it turned out so pretty!

 

HAPPY NOVEMBER!

I love these beautiful Fall colors!  The new Harvest Hues layering stencils from Taylored Expressions are so pretty.  I followed Heather Nichols choice of ink colors.  

A little splatter never hurt anyone....

My completed cards - I did mostly follow the card design from Heather Nichols.  I used the Burlap embossing folder for the background on Latte card stock.  I love the colors of Fall so these were right up my alley!

PETALS & PROSE

I made this card design at Taylored Expressions Stamp Joy and we were given the stamp set called Petals & Prose.  I decided to make another one.  It was a quick and easy to put together. I like the stamp that looks like splatter!  

WOODLAND BLOOMS

New Taylored Expressions Foil It's called Woodland Blooms!  Bonus was that I already owned the stamp & stencil combo.  I loved the look of the black so I didn't even foil these.  They turned out so pretty!  

The Taylored Expressions Woodland Blooms turned out so pretty. I used the sentiments from the set as well.  

Mistletoe Quad

This was the first Quad stencil that I purchased from Taylored Expressions.  They recently came out with a die and Foil Its to coordinate with these stencils.  I made another set of cards with a Christmas theme but I have always loved the samples with the purple berries.  Since I already had them out it was a good time to make a set of cards.  I followed a video that Taylor did and used the same ink colors.  

My cards are a bit different than the ones Taylor created in her video but I like how they turned out.  Using the rustic pail die and flipping the mistletoe was such a great idea to make the stencil set more versatile.  

PATTERN PLAY

I had fun with the Concord & 9th Pattern Play cover plate & dies.  I die cut the cover plate with an off white heavyweight card stock.  I used Concord & 9th card stock colors in Watermelon, Nectar, Sprout & Pistachio to add a few popped up shapes to the panel.  The Thanks die cut is from Altenew.  

Same card design - the sentiment is from Taylored Expressions called Bold Birthday.  I added a few clear dew drops to both cards.  I still have this set on my desk and I'd like to try a few more color combinations.  Maybe something more masculine.  

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.  

 

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.  

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.  

 

Wheatfield Dreams

It's been awhile since I've spent any time in my stamp room.  I made this card today from a few pieces and parts that I had ready to go.  The stamp set & die is Taylored Expressions Wheatfield Dreams and the sentiment is Taylored Expressions Beautiful Soul.  Love a pretty sunflower!  🌻

MORE PLANT CARDS!

Here are a couple more cards using the Stampin' UP Plentiful Plants & the coordinating dies.  I used various sentiments from my stash.   

BEAUTIFUL YOU

This was a class from Kristina Werner during the Crop & Create Delivered Cardmaking event.  The stamp set is a special edition for the event called Beautiful You.  Kristina showed us ways to use the floral without having to do a lot of coloring.  We white & gold embossed after creating a striped background with Concord & 9th card stock for two of the cards.  The third card we stamped on squares where we selected the area of the stamp that we wanted to feature.  The die cut  "you" was stacked & we stamped the various sentiments with Versamark ink & white embossing.  I really like how these turned out.  I would also like to take the time to color the floral in the future. 

KEEPIN' IT SIMPLE!

I found this pretty American Crafts black & white floral paper at Joann Fabric.  I used Copic markers to color in a few areas on the paper.  

Keepin' it simple here today.  I used a stitched rectangle to cut out the layer and attached to various colors of card bases.  I went thru my word dies and glued them on the patterned paper.  Quick & Easy!

** Added this photo later......Lookie there I have washi tape that matches that floral patterned paper.  I was sitting in my stamp room this afternoon and glanced at that paper again and realized that I might have washi tape with a similar design - it's the same floral!  I put a strip of washi tape on the inside of the cards for a little added design interest!

BLACK & WHITE

Black & White thanks card!  I used the Unity Stamp Wildflower Corner floral and then added the MFT Big Thanks for a clean and simple card.  

SIMPLY FAB!

A pretty floral card using the Simon Says Sketched Flowers and Taylored Expressions Simple strips.  I also used the Linen Plate from Papertrey Ink to give the white card stock texture.  

THANK YOU

A quick Fall-ish thank you card.  The stamp, die & sentiment is from The Stamp Market Botanical Beauty and Many Thanks.  I used Distress Oxide Inks in Rusty Hinge, Fossilized Amber & Spiced Marmalade to  ink blend.  The card base is Dipped Dyed cards from Concord & 9th.  I was inspired by this VIDEO for my card project using supplies that I had in my collection.

Thanks!

Thanks Laura for the pretty card!  Found out that Laura & I have the same taste in stamps - we both bought Taylored Expressions Shiplap Background & the Wildflowers Background.  And of course, the Taylored Expressions Simple Strips is a must have too!
