Taylored Expressions Blast From The Past Blog Hop!

Hi everyone!! Happy Tuesday!! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions Blast From The Past Blog Hop!!!

I LOVE the Blast From The Past Blog Hop as it gives me a chance to give some love to some of my first Taylored Expressions stamp sets!!

For my card, I started with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC74 (what a FUN sketch!) and it was perfect for the stamp I had in mind!!

I used one of the first Taylored Expressions sets I ever purchased, A Year of Sweets 2 and I also used A Year of Sweet Sentiments!! I actually bought these two sets together with A Year of Sweets 1 and A Year of Sweets 3 all at once, and my obsession with Taylored Expressions began!!

I stamped the 4th of July Cuppie (I {heart} Cuppie!) from A Year of Sweets 2 in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and colored him with Copic Markers. I cut him out and embossed him with Square Nestabilities.

The patterned paper is Old Glory by We R Memory Keepers, and I sewed each panel on my sewing machine. The sentiment, "Happy 4th of July", was also stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and I cut it out and embossed it with the largest tag in the Tags Trio by Spellbinders. Both the tag and the focal panel were sponged with Memento Canteloupe.

I added a ribbon and button to attach my sentiment tag, and the fireworks all got a coating of Stickles (I used Christmas Red, Waterfall and Crystal Stickles) and I called it done!!
