Seeds & Such Cardmaking Kit

It is the last Tuesday of month and time for a new cardmaking kit from Taylored Expressions! The new Seeds & Such Cardmaking Kit is a fun one! 

I created four projects to share with you today, two card and two seed packets.  

There are four vegetable images in the kit that can be stenciled and die cut. The Seeds & Such - Vegetable Garden Dies are available for purchase separately for the kit. I stamped the Seeds & Such Background Stamp and then die cut with the Seeds & Such Dies and added the tomatoes to the center of the background. 

I used the Seeds & Such - Vegetables Clear Stamp to stamp all the sentiments and die cut the sentiments with the Seeds & Such - Vegetables Dies. The bottom sentiment is stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. 

I used the Checking In Background Stamp for the checked background and matted the card front with the largest die in the A2 Postage Stamp Stacklets Die Set.

Here is another version of the card with the carrots and Peapod cardstock and ink. 

There are many options for sentiments in the set. I added twine to the top of each card. 

I also created two seed packets with the Petite Packet Die. The die creates this cute packet and a gift card fits perfectly inside, or you could add seeds or other small items.

The stencil allows you to add color to each layer of the cake and the icing. I used Cupcake, Peaches n' Cream, Rose Water, and Banana Cream Inks.

I used the Icing on the Cake Additions Die Set to add the cake plate and the banner on top of the cake. The flowers are added with the Fresh Flowers Die Set and the sentiment is from the Birthday Bash Stamp Set. I finished off the card with a scatter of TE Bits & Pieces - Sparkle Party.

La Dolce Vita Collection from Spellbinders

Hi Crafters! I have three projects to share with you today from the La Dolce Vita Collection from Spellbinders. This is a beautiful summer themed collection, perfect for all your summertime crafting. 

I used the Beyond the Door Etched Dies, Citrus Spritz Etched Dies, Lemon Fresco 3D Embossing Folder, and the La Dolce Vita Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set from the La Dolce Vita Collection to create my three projects. I have linked the products below. 

Let's start with a look at the  Beyond the Door Etched Dies. I love the pretty and peaceful scene these dies create. I die cut all the pieces from colored cardstock and then added some ink blending to highlight the etched dies. 

I used the Lemon Fresco 3D Embossing Folder for the background of the card. I used white cardstock blended with a pale green ink. Then I started gluing the die cut pieces in place. 

The sentiments are from the La Dolce Vita Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set. The BetterPress plates can be used with the Betterpress System or the Glimmer Hot Foil System. Here a used the Glimmer Hot Foil System and Cobalt Blue Foil. 

Here is another example using lemons around the door rather than the flowers and a different flower pot option. 

Here is a closer look at all the texture and detail. 

Here I used the BetterPress System with black ink for the sentiment. 

My final card features the Citrus Spritz Etched Dies. I love the mix of the lemons with the greenery and flowers. Feels like summer!

I used the Citrus Spritz Etched Dies again for the background but this time I inked the embossing folder with a pale yellow ink, added the paper, and ran the embossing folder through the diecutting machine. I love the effect and the embossing folder can just be rinsed with water. 

Here are two more sentiments from the La Dolce Vita Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set. 

Thanks for stopping by! Here's to a great summer!
