The July Key Ingredients Are Here!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Thursday!!

This is my most favorite time of the month...when the Baker's Dozen gets to share the newest (and FABULOUS) Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions!!

Oh my...I LOVE the July Key Ingredients! I know, I know...I am a broken record right? LOL! It's true though...I ADORE the Key Ingredients and the July KI is just as WONDERFUL as you would expect!

I created two cards with the July Key Ingredients for today, and they both share a theme...Glitter!!! The challenge for this month is to bling it up with glitter! FUN FUN and more FUN! One of my favorite things about the Key Ingredients is that I get to use papers and embellishments that I normally may not have been exposed to! The patterned paper in the July Key Ingredients is Paisley Parade by KI Memories and it is DELISH!

For my first card, I started with Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge, MTSC82. I started by stamping the bicycle, basket and flowers, all from the AWESOME new In The Park set by Taylored Expressions, in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock (this is the neutral cardstock included in the July Key Ingredients). I colored all of the images with Copic Markers and added Parisian Mist Glitter (from the July KI) on the bicycle frame as well as the flower centers using the Quickie Glue Pen, also included in the July KI (my FAV glue pen...ever!). The basket of flowers was cut out and popped up with Foam Tape.

I also added some more glitter on a cute little chipboard flower using my Quickie Glue Pen again and added a bow on top of it that I created using the Bow Easy. Do you have one yet? If not, you NEED one...believe me! I sewed each layer on my sewing machine and added the sentiment, also from In The Park, directly onto the patterned paper!

For my second card, I started with the Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge, TESC120! I started by stamping the car from Feelin' Groovy (can I just tell you how much I ADORE this set?) in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers.

The back layer of my card was stamped with the FABULOUS new Big Background stamp, Stitched Plaid, in Memento Rose Bud and I LOVE the look of it!

I covered another chipboard flower with glitter and tucked it behind my focal panel. The flowers on the card also got a touch of glitter as well!! stamped the sentiment, also from Feelin' Groovy, directly onto the main panel and once again, used my sewing machine on each layer!
