Mini Slim Essentials Release {Taylored Expressions}...

Good morning! Taylored Expressions is having a super fun release today! It's all about the Mini Slim Card making supplies. I have a couple cards to share but to start, if you would like to see the full release, click HERE!

The first stamp set I want to share is called Toucan Do It! It is the most fun Toucan image that comes with stencils that do the coloring for you! You know I like that! :)

I added a little Slimline Sunray Stencil in the background and then cut it out with the Stitched Mini Stacklets. And, of course, I had to add those adorable clouds!

On this next card, I used the new Mini Slim Wonky Dots Stencil to dry emboss the card base. I love the little strawberry seed look it gives. I added a little piece of miscellaneous patterned paper to the front, cut out with the Stitched Mini Slim Stacklets. Using the new Circle Window Frames, I added the sentiment along with a little berry from the new set called Tutti Frutti. When you open up the precut Trip-Fold Card you can see I created a "berry" special scene. (I had to....LOL!)

Using the Cloud Stencils and the Grass Stencils, I blended out the background. I went in with the Modern Tree Stamp and Stencil set to add that adorable tree! I felt like I needed to add in a few more berries as well! Now the inside is ready for a personal message!

Right now through Sunday, July 4th (or while supplies last), You can get the Tickled Pink Card Making Bundle for 15% off! The bundle includes the Tickled Pink Stamp & Stencil Combo set, Tickled Pink die, and Mini Slim Tropical Leaves stencil. The discounted bundle price is only available through Sunday, July 4th.

Thanks so much for coming by today!

Happy Birthday {Spellbinders}...

Happy middle of June! How are we racing through the summer like this? It is going by so fast! I hope you are feeling the world returning to a slightly new normal. I am thankful to feel that here! We have needed normalcy for so long!

I have a new card today using the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month. This month's plate are SO fun and so nice to have in your stash for birthday cards.

For this card, I used a stencil and ink blending on a card base. I hot foiled the plates using gold foil and then die cut the happy birthday with the coordinating die. I added in the strip sentiment which also comes in the kit. To top it off, I added a few Fashion Gold pearls in! Love the gold and yellow combo!

Check out this months kit by clicking HERE!

Are you new to hot foiling?

Spellbinders has a platform called Glimmer Hot Foil System. This platform heats up metal plates called Glimmer Plates. These glimmer plates come in ALL different types....sentiments, florals, backgrounds, graphic details etc....and add the most gorgeous foiling detail to your cards. And the foils? There are LOTS of different colors to chose from!

Here are some links to help point you in the right direction....

Glimmer Hot Foil System

Glimmer Hot Foil Rolls

Glimmer Hot Foil Plates

The Glimmer Hot Foil System works great with a Platinum 6 Die Cut machine from Spellbinders but also works with other die cut machines. You can click HERE to see a compatibility chart.

So once the platform and your glimmer plate heat up, you add in the foil and the cardstock and run in thorough your die cut machine. Once you pull off the foil negative, the magic happens! That foil that is set on your cardstock is just gorgeous!

All That Glitters {Taylored Expressions}...

Taylored Expressions has a super fun new release today. Summer time stamps and dies AND glitter!

This first card uses the set called Shades of Summer. I love all the sentiments and those adorable sunglasses! I used my Rectangle Masking Stencil to make a little beachy scene. I saw an ad on Pinterest (that I now cannot find anywhere) with a blue blended background and so I was inspired to make the beach scene. I added in the Sunglasses after stamping in a shadow on the beach. With the new glitter, you can make your own washi tape!

This next card was made using the new popsicles from the Anything Popsicle.

I created a little sunny scene with Taylored Expressions Clouds and Grass. I used the Shades of Summer Stamp Set for the sentiment and then popped up those adorable Popsicles and then did a little glitter shine and covered them in Glossy Accents. I layered the card front on a Scalloped Frame and then onto a pink card base. Easy peasy!

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Peruvian Lily Layering Die Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

It's time for a new Craft-A-Flower from Altenew! These die sets are so much fun to work with and always create the most gorgeous blooms. If you are new to the Craft-A-Flower dies, what they do is cut out cardstock for several layers that build up different kinds of flowers. The layers include different petals, stems or even shaded parts to give a 3D look. Today's release is the Peruvian Lily!

Check out my card for today's release...

To start off, I used the Reflections Die in a light gray cardstock to line the side of the card front. Next, I grabbed the Rose Petal Cardstock Set, the Summer Afternoon Cardstock Set and the Green Meadows Cardstock Set and used those to bulild up this gorgeous Lily!

Altenew has an awesome Liquid Glue Pen that works great to layer these little pieces together.

The last step was to add in the sentiment on this quick and simple card!
