TE SimplySucculents

Hello ........... and thanks to stopping by my blog today. I have a card to share using a new Simply Succulents Stamp & Die Combo, one of my favorite sets from Taylored Expressions January Release!


I colored the three potted plants with Copic Markers and them die cut out. Next I embossed a piece of Sugar Cube Card Stock with the Brick Embossing Folder. I distress the brick a bit by added color to the grout with a Copic Marker and sponging on distress ink.


The frame is cut with the new Picture Perfect - Smile/Hello Die Set from Toffee Card Stock. The sentiment is included with the Simply Succulents Stamp & Die Combo. The background sky is watercolored. 

Have a great week! Here are the products I used to create my card.

It's release day at Taylored Expressions!!  All the new January products are available at the TE web store NOW! It's going to be so hard to decide which Petite Stamp and Die set to buy. They are all so cute! 

My card today is created with the new Happy Hens Stamp and Die combo.

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Frozen

(If you are looking for my Seasons Givings Blog Hop Post please scroll down)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! It's the first day of the new year  and time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge! Why not start the year off with playing along with us!  

 The LEAD of this challenge will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!


Here is my take on the Frozen Challenge. I love the pretty color combo! I made this little gift for a friend who's birthday is around the corner. 


I created this beautiful snowflake with the Layered Snowflake Confetti Cuts for Reverse Confetti. I used a combination of card stock, glittered card stock and felt.


The background of the tag is embossed with the Taylored Expressions Winter Flurry Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Winter Friends Stamp Set from Pretty Pink Posh, stamped in a white pigment ink and embossing with white embossing powder. 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you get a change to play along!
