It's Raining Cats and Dogs!

It is the last Tuesday of the month and time for a new cardmaking kit from Taylored Expression. There are two pet themed kits to choose from this month, one all about dogs, and one all about cats. I have a project with each kit to share with you. 

Both cardmaking kits are available now in the TE Store. 

My first card is created with the Meow & Furever Kit. 

The Meow & Furever Kit includes:

• Meow & Furever Stamp & Stencil Combo
• Meow & Furever Cutting Plate Die
• The Insiders - Meow & Furever
• Taylored Tutorial

I stamped the cats with the Meow & Furever Stamp and then stenciled the cats and used the Meow & Furever Cutting Plate Die to die cut all the cats at once. I stamped the Meow & Furever Stamp again on Blue Raspberry Cardstock with Oreo Ink and then added the cats back into the card front. 

The sentiment is from the Purr-fect Friend Stamp and die cut with Purr-fect Friend Coordinating Dies. These products are available for purchase separately. There is a bundle available.

Here is the card I made with the Dog-Gone Cute Kit. I stamped, stenciled, and die cut the dogs to create this birthday scene. 

The Dog-Gone Cute Kit includes:

• Dog-gone Cute Stamp & Stencil Combo
• Dog-gone Cute Cutting Plate Die
• The Insiders - Dog-gone Cute
• Taylored Tutorial

I used the Here Comes the Sun Stencil to created the card front and then added the grass with Build A Scene - Grassy Hills Dies, and the clouds with the Rainbow Clouds Duo Dies. 

I used the Paw-sitiely Fabulous Stamp Set and Dies to add the sentiment, which is available for purchase. Notice the cut accessories I added like the dog bone and birthday hats. I used the Little Bits Die Set - Pet Accessories. There are dies in set that are perfect for both cats and dogs. 

There is also a bundle to purchase both the kits if you can decide!

Papertrey Ink June Release Countdown Day 3

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!
