Let's start with a look at the Baby Steps Stamp Set, Baby Steps Dies, and Baby Steps Stencils. These cute shoes are do easy to create with the dies in the set. I love the little touches of the colored rims on the shoes and the cute laces and bows. 

Here is a closer look. You can see how I stenciled the polka dots on the sides of the shoes with the Baby Steps Stencils. The pacifier is also included in the die set.

Next is a look at the Cowboy Reverie Stamp Set and Dies. I like this set because it great for cards for both men and women. The background is die cut with the Cover Plate: Bandana which makes the prefect background for the stamp set. 

I added a scalloped circle of vellum behind the stamped images to help them stand out from the background. I used the Love to Layer: Soft Scallop Die to die cut the vellum. The sentiment is included in the Cowboy Reverie Stamp Set.

My daughter's and nieces and all having babies! And they are all girls! So new baby products are perfect! My card is created with the new Shake, Rattle, & Roll Die and Clear Stamp Combo, and the Bundle of Joy Stamp Set. I used the Shaker Bubble Set with the Shake, Rattle, & Roll Die and the Bits & Pieces - Hello Baby to create the shaker rattle. 

I created with background with the Bundle of Joy Stamp Set, using the onesie stamp and stamping in a variety of colors. I also added small hearts with the Shake, Rattle, & Roll Die and Clear Stamp Combo using Rose Gold Foil.

This beautiful wedding card is so easy to create with the new Floral Embrace Die and the Today & Always Stamp Set. TE is also adding the A7 Layer Stacklets Die to the Stacklets line of products, making 5 x 7 cards an easy option. 

I used the Floral Embrace die to die the vertical border. Floral Embrace Die, which is sized to fit on the  A7 card, wraps around edge of the card and the Today & Always sentiments fit perfectly on the right side of the card. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder.

I finished off the card by splattering gold paint on the background and adding Gold Glitter Dots to the centers of the flowers. 

I created my second card in the same manner but I framed the sentiment on a rectangle die cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies and matted with the Petite Scallop Stacklets. 

Here I splattered white paint and added Bits & Pieces - Pearl Drip Dots. 

Milestone Moments Grad Bundle with new Foil It panels for both 2025 and timeless versions to use beyond this year.

Papertrey Ink Release Day 3

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. 

The Pieced Patterns Cardmaking Kit retails for $57, is packaged in a zippered pouch with a custom sticker, and includes:

• Pieced Patterns – Squares die
• Pieced Patterns – Triangles die
• Four Square 6×6 Background stamp
• Sticky Sheets (set of 10 sheets)

Then I used the From the Heart Hot Foil Plate with a rainbow foil. Then I used the largest die in the new Love to Layer: Charming Brackets and die cut in the center of the card. I added foam tape and the inlayed the die cut back into the card front.
