The Pieced Patterns Cardmaking Kit

Hi all! Today I have three cards to share with you that I created with a new fun cardmaking making kit from Taylored Expressions. This is a fun and easy way to create colorful patterned backgrounds for your projects along with great grid patterns to create different patterns. 

On my first card I chose one of the star patterns to work with. I went with a color scheme of Cherry Pop, Granny Smith, Confetti Cake, and Sugar Cube. I stamped the Four Square 6x6 Background stamp in a variety of the colors. On the Cherry Pop Cardstock I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with White Embossing powder. Then I die cut the squares and triangles with the Pieced Patterns dies. 

Using the grid the pattern is easy to create. I stamped a sentiment from the On Occassion Stamp Set on Vellum with Versamark Ink and embossed with Red Peppermint Embossing Powder. The smaller sentiment is from the Mini Strips - Birthday Stamp Set. 

Next I went with the idea of baby quilt, using another one of the patterns. I used a color theme of Cupcake, Raspberry Sorbet, Spearmint, Jalapeño, and Sugar Cube. The larger sentiment is from the Essential Sentiment Stamp Set and the smaller one from Mini Strip - Baby Stamp Set. 

I used the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets and the Petite Scallop Rectangle Stacklets to finish off the quilt. 

Here is another idea for the Kit. I used a group of brighter colors that I have linked below. 

The "happy" sentiment is created with the Get the Word Out - Happy Stamp Set and the coordinating Get the Word Out - Happy Shadow.

I started by diecutting the Vintage Florals Etched Dies for white cardstock and ink blending with pinks, yellows, peach inks. I layered the flowers together and added the black centers. 

To create the center panel I die cut Barely Peach Cardstock with the Heartfelt Thanks & Scallops Etched Dies.

I cut a second larger heart from Wild Berry Cardstock to mat the heart. 

I added a clear acetate behind the heart, then foam tape, and I dropped in the clear confetti. 

The sentiment is also included in the Heartfelt Thanks & Scallops Etched Dies.

Vintage Florals from Spellbinders

Thanks for stopping by today! I am starting off the week with some new products from Spellbinders January Release. 

I'm not sure if I can every have enough floral dies. I like to used as the center piece of my card but also for smaller embellishments when I feel like I need one final touch to a card. This card is created with the new Vintage Florals Etched Dies which are part of the From the Garden Collection by Wendy Vecchi. I love the detail on the die cuts. I die cut the flowers from white cardstock and blended each layer of the flowers with ink .

In the center of the largest flower I add a wax seal with the new Must-Have Wax Bead Mix Teal Beads. This set has four different color of bead in the mix that melt beautifully together. I will link the products below. 

The background is die cut from Lagoon Cardstock with the new Heartfelt Thanks & Scallops Etched Dies. I do love a scalloped edge! After the die cut the panel I embossed with the the new Columns Embossing Folder. Then I finished off the card with a simple sentiment from the Fresh Picked Sentiments Etched Dies. This is great set of sentiment dies I know I will use over and over. 

Hope you have a great week!
