Today I am sharing  a couple of Fun Projects and the first one features the Brand New Greetings For Her stamp set, along with the Brand New Band It 2 Dies and  the Brand New Silhouette Stems 4 Die as well! Talk about a Fun combo of Dies to play with! The possibilities are just Endless!! And you know I am just Loving that!... ;-)

Well, for my project today, I chose to make a Sweet Mother's Day card, & I just Love how quick and easy it was to put together too! Yay! 8-) Love how it turned out too! 8-) 
My Sweet little wild flowers were created with the help of TE's Brand New Silhouette Stems 4 Dies & Bazzill CS. I adhered them to my fluffy cloud BG created with TE's Choice Snow White CS, Tumbled Glass Distress ink, A TE Cloud Border Die template and small stippling brush. My Mats and BG Layers were created with TE's Choice Butterceam CS , TE's Choice Kraft CS and Dp's from Doodlebug's Kraft in Color 6x6 collection. And to finish it all up I stamped my Greetings For Her sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa onto a layered TE Band It 2 Die cut and added some Sweet adhesive pearls to my flowers centers... 8-)

Next up I'm featuring TE's Brand New Various Vases Dies along with the Brand New Darling Sketched Blooms and the Brand New Greetings For Her as well!... 8-) I just Love how Perfect they go together and talk about a quick way to create Wonderful cards for all kinds of occasions too! I know I will be reaching for these sets again and again!;-)

I had lots of fun putting this Sweet little Thank You card together! 8-)  I Think Thank You cards and Birthday cards are the ones I find my self needing more often then any other type of card, so I always try to keep a bunch on hand in my stash just in case!... ;-)

I stamped my Sweet Sketched Blooms with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto TE's Choice Snow White CS & colored them up with my trusty Copics. I added my Pretty polkadot vase with the help of TE's Brand New Various Vases Dies and popped it up with a bit of foam tape. My Mats and BG were created with Simple Stories Homespun 6x6 collection and a touch of Vintage Photo Distress inkTo finish it all up I added some cheery Doodlebug Sprinkles, & stamped my Greetings For Her sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black, directly onto my Focal panel... 8-)

Taylored Expressions March SOTM - Happy Birthday! 8-)

Hi All! And a Very Happy Thursday to you! 8-)  Today I am back with a Super Quick post to share my latest creation made with TE's March Stamp of the Month Club Kit ,Yay! I Just LOVE how versatile these Awesome kits are, not only do they coordinates just Perfectly with the Key Ingredient  patterned papers! They also stand alone or combined with other dp's just as Wonderfully too! What can I say, Smart Clever things like that just  Make my day! ;-)
Okay, IMHO, one can never have to many Birthday Cards on hand! So I thought I'd whip up another one with our Awesome March SOTM Kit! And I also wanted to show just how versatile this Fab set is in the process! So I created a Fun Funky flower with my stamped & die cut Take a Spin spinner pieces!! See... Pretty Darned Versatile, right?... ;-) 
I started off by stamping my Take a Spin Wheel a few times with Colorbox Ruby ink and cut them out with The Coordinating Spin It To Win It Dies to create my Funky Fun flower. I added some Die Cut Leafy Branch leaves and popped it all up with a  bit of foam tape onto a Sweet Doily I had in my stash. My Mats & BG layers were created with the TE's Choice Snow White CS, Bazzill CS and Simple Stories Darling Homespun 6x6 collection too! To finish it all up I inked all my edges with a touch of Vintage Photo Distress ink and stamped my Take A Spin Sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa onto a hand cut banner tag. Pretty Easy Peasy, huh?...8-)

Here are the items I used for my project today...



Hope you all have a Fantastic day & Thanks so much for stopping by! 8-)
