Just Write Cardmaking Kit

Hi all! Today's projects are created with the new Just Write Cardmaking Kit from Taylored Expressions. This kit features a vintage type writter, fountain pen & ink, with options from a bulletin board, making it perfect for so many occasions. The new kit is available now in the TE Store


I created two cards with the kit to share today. 


My first card features the vintage typewriter. The typewriter is created with the Just Write Stencil & Clear Stamp Combo. There are four stencils in the set and the clear stamps add the details like the letters to the keyboard and the ink splatters. 


Just for fun I decided to add the flowers with the Fresh Flowers Die Set. I die cut the flowers and greenery from Sugar Cube Cardstock and blended inks in the colors I have listed below. The sentiment is from the Ink Expressions Stamp Set from the Kit and die cut with the Ink Expressions Dies which are available for purchase separately. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with TE Gold Embossing Powder. 


The typewriter die cuts a slit to add the paper with the stamped sentiment. I also added two of the cute metal clips. The background is stamped with the Notebook Paper Background Stamp. I splattered gold paint on the background and added a few Gold Glitter Drops. 


On my second card I went with the look of a bulletin board. The Cork Board Background Stamp is available for purchase seperately or in the The Write Stuff Bundle. I stamped Toffee Ink on Toffee Cardstock to achieve to look of cork. 


I used the Frayed Edges Stacklets and the Notebook Paper Background Stamp to add the sheet of paper to the cork background. I stamped more sentiments in the Inked Expressions Stamp Set, and created the ink bottle, push pins, and fountain pens with the Just Write Stencil & Clear Stamp Combo.


Such a fun kit!!

Creating with Yana's Daisies

Happy Monday! Hope your week is getting off to a good start! I have two more cards to share with you today that created with Yana’s Daisies Collection for Spellbinders


My first card features the beautiful Yana's Daisies Etched Dies. (Products will be linked below.) I think the details on these dies are so pretty. When assembled, this set of two thin metal cutting dies create a daisy cluster with an outline to anchor the design. I used gold foil for the outline and white cardstock for the flowers and then blended ink to add the color. 

The sentiment is added with the Crafty Hugs Sentiments Plate & Die Set using the BetterPress Machine. There are eight sentiment plates with corresponding dies to cut out the seven large sentiments. 


I embossed the card front with the new Molded Frame 3D Embossing Folder and then splattered gold paint on the background. I finished off the card with a few Gold Mix Color Essentials Gems. 


My next card is so easy to create with the Daisy Shower BetterPress and Stencil Bundle from Yana's Daisies Collection. I used Cruise Ink to ink up the plate. Then I used the coordinating Daisy Shower Stencil to add the color to the daisies. 


This a another sentiment from the Crafty Hugs Sentiments Plate & Die Set. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!
