Sending You Hugs & Kisses and Some News!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Saturday!!

I was able to get a bit of stampy time in, so I pulled out TONS of goodies from the latest (and amazing!) Taylored Expressions release!!!

For my card today, I could not even wait to ink up this SUPER sweet penguin from the S.W.A.K. Petite set from Taylored Expressions! Isn't he so cute??

I stamped him in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored him with Copic Markers. I then cut out and embossed the panel with Circle Nestabilities. I layered this over cardstock cut using the new Frame It Up 1 Die, also from Taylored Expressions! This makes a great layering piece!

I embossed this panel, along with the background panel, using the AWESOME new Hearts Impression Plate (I seriously LOVE these Impression Plates!) for some texture. I added some of Taylor's Tiny Twinkles to the focal panel too.

The patterned paper on my card is from the Sweet Love collection from Doodlebug, and I added two borders with the new Hearts Border Die (LOVE) for some pop. I attached more of Taylor's Tiny Twinkles to the borders, and I used Embellie Gellie to make this a snap!

I finished off my card with some SUPER sweet gingham ribbon that I stole from Meredith's Kids Valentine Card Kit (shhh...I really hope she doesn't notice!!)and created the bow with The Bow Easy.

Here are the Taylored Dies and Impression Plate I've used on my card today! For the deets on how the Taylored Dies work, you can click HERE.
