Key Ingredients Kit Day 6!

***If you are looking for my MFT Sketch Challenge please scroll down.

Hi Everyone ! I have another gift set to share with you today with this month's gorgeous  Key Ingredients kit! You  you can check out all the details about Taylor's Key Ingredients Subscription on Taylor's blog HERE.  Every month the kits are designed with coordinating card stock, embellishments, DP and more that make it super easy to create a project! 

I created my gift set using ingredients from the kits, the Rosey Posey Stamps and Dies, Houndstooth/Damask Impression Plate, and a gift card tin.

I stamped the image of the two roses from the Rosy Posey Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics. I cut the roses and the leaves out with the Rosey Posey Dies. My border is cut with the Eyelet Scallop Die and I added black rhinestones to the center holes.

Behind the roses I used the new Houndstooth/Damask Impression Plate. I love it! I embossed it on Cream colored cardstock and sponged on distress ink. 

The I used the Gift Card Frame Die to cover my tin perfectly! The Happy Birthday Sentiment if from the CreativiTEA Stamp Set.

 

Be sure to stop by Taylor, Karen, and Monica (at the KI Blog) for more inspiration today!

With the kit I made this sweet little birthday gift for my daughter to give one of her friends.

For my card I used one of the new Moka stamps, Olivia. She is pretty darn cute! She is colored with Copics and I added black gel pen to the black dots on her gift bag. For my Happy Birthday sentiment I used the It's a Banner Day 1 stamp set and the Banner Day 1 die.

Then I cut three rows of scallops with the Medium Scallop Die for my bottom border and staggered the scallops.

I used one of Taylor's Clear Purse Boxes to hold the birthday gift. It is hard to get a great picture of the purse since it is clear but it is just so cute in person!

To make my tag I cut out the shape of the tag in cardstock and then covered it with some of the DP in the kit. I added a few more scallops and then used the It's In the Bag stamp set and the Shopping Bag and Labels die set to make the gift bag that I attached to my bag.

Birthday Gift Bag

I have a gift bag to share today that I made with Taylor's Key Ingredients Kit for February. Sometimes I like to make a fun gift to give a present in and it as easy as a card is, you are just working with a little larger space, which can be fun!

I used the stamp set For the Love of Cupcakes for my main image and colored it with Copics. I used It's A Banner Set - 1 and the Banner Day 1 Die for my Happy Birthday sentiment. All my papers, flowers, brads and ribbon are from the February Key Ingredient kit. I just love how everything goes together!!

Here is closer look. The brown paper is flocked, so pretty and rich in person. I added glitter to my cupcake frosting and plate. I just love the brads!

Taylored Expressions February Key Ingredients

I have a couple more cards to share today that I made with Taylor's Key Ingredients Kit for February. I posted a project last week on the Key Ingredients Blog and these are the next two cards that are going in the Note Box I made.

This month's kit has five different papers and colors from the My Mind's Eye Lush Collection. The red paper is flocked and I just love the rich feel it gives my card. I used a stamp and a sentiment from Sew Happy. All the embellishments are from the kit. I used the TE Medium Scallop Die for the scalloped border.

My next card uses another one of favorite TE stamps, What's Cookin'?. I just love this little apron. First I paper pieced the whole apron and then layered the top black apron over the first one. The sentiment is also from the stamp set. I used the TE Medium Scalloped Die for my layered scallop border.

You can find all of the February coordinating products HERE. This is a great way to get extra mileage out of your kit while knowing that everything will still match beautifully!
