Sweet Mini Duo: Just a note

Sweet Mini Duo: Have a Happy Day

These Sets are part of the Sweet Kits Quarterly CLUB … read all about member benefits HERE!! Here's a snapshot of the FUN Goodies contained in this months quarter’s kit:

 I thought it would be FUN to use the Glitter Foam Eggs that came in the Kit to create a couple of Shaped Cards!! I Stamped the Images using Distress Markers and Watercolor Brush to watercolor the Images!! I LOVE the way it turned out!! I Die Cut the For You Stitched Tag Die from some Pink Cardstock and Stamped the Sentiment onto the Tag!! I added the Seam Binding Ribbon and a Decorative Ribbon Bow and then added on of the Pinwheels!! 

For my second Card I Stamped the Bunny Image and colored it in using Copic Markers!! I LOVE the way it turned out!! I Die Cut the For You Stitched Tag Die and Inked the background with Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass!! I added the Seam Binding Ribbon and a Decorative Ribbon Bow!! 

If you’re not interested in the AWESOME Kits, at this time you can find the sets created exclusively for the quarter kits in the Sweet Minis category on our website … WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.  These sets are created for the kits and will NOT be restocked after they sell out!!

Easter Cards with Taylored Expressions Monthly Maker Challenge!! =)

Pin It



HELLO!! 

I'm back with another Set of Cards I've made for my G.I.F.T Gala Card Basket Donation and this time I'm playing along with the Taylored Expressions March Maker Challenge!! 

It's SUPER Easy to play along:
At the beginning of each month TE will introduce a new monthly theme:
(March's theme is "Easter") and you'll have until the last day of the month to create a card - or a bunch of cards - in keeping with the theme. You can enter up to three cards by posting them anytime during the month on the TE Facebook Fan Page with the hashtag #TEMakerChallenge and #TayloredExpressions.
Each card you create will earn you one entry in a special drawing that will take place the week following the end of the challenge. Three random winners will be selected from Facebook Fan Page entries and one random winner will be selected from the TE Studio entries, with each winner receiving a $25 TE gift card.

So I've made some BEAUTIFUL Cards inspired by a Card I saw that Keia Shipp-Smith created last year here!! I LOVED the Gate Fold Design, so I took the Card Design and gave it my own touch!! I LOVE the way they turned out!! I've used ALL TE Products too!! So lets take a look!! 

 I used the Big Blooms Sunflower and Big Blooms Daisy Stamp Sets and Stamped and Embossed them, coloring them with Copic Markers!! I used (Y00, Y20, Y26 and YR23 for the Sunflower and Daisy Center, and E40, E42, E44, E47 for the Sunflower CenterR00, R22, R17 for the Daisy and G40, G43 and G46 for the Leaves) I then Die Cut the Flowers using the coordinating Dies!! I LOVE the way they turned out!! Bright and Happy for Spring, but yet fit the Sentiment for a Calming Feeling!! I then cut an A2 top-folding card base from TE Toffee Cardstock!! I die cut and dry embossed a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Salt Water Taffy Cardstock for the base layer using the TE Stitched Rectangle Stacklets Die Set and the TE Weathered Embossing Folder!! Using the Stitched Rectangle Dies again I die cut a Sugar Cube Cardstock panel to stamp my faith-inspired sentiment from the NEW Words of Faith Easter Stamp Set!! I added some Ink Sponging with TE Potato Chip and Sweet Potato Pie  Inks to make the sentiment POP!! To assemble the card, I scored the Flowers at 2 1/4 inches and adhered the folded flower to the backside of the Salt Water Taffy Cardstock panel using Scor Tape!! I cut a piece of Paper Sweeties Seam Binding Ribbon in Cookie Dough about a foot long adhering the ribbon to the back of the panel to act as a closure!!  Then, I layered the completed floral panel onto the A2 card base, added the sentiment panel and tied my ribbon!! To finish the Cards I add the Prayers Script Die Cut Sentiment to the inside and I want to add a personal sentiment that say Prayers this Easter Season!! I REALLY LOVE the way they turned out and I'm EXCITED about them!! I hope they will BLESS someone who needs them this Easter Season!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you'll join along in the Challenge!! I CAN"T WAIT to see what you create!! Have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!
