Taylored Expressions Previews: Day Two!

Hi everyone!  Happy Wednesday!!

Today is the second day of previews for the latest release from Taylored Expressions!  I have two more cards to share with you today!!

Both of my cards today were created using Hello Luscious Card Kit, available tomorrow with all of the other goodies!!  This Card Kit (as well as the other Card Kit being released - Emma's Shoppe Card Kit) is CHOCK full of everything you need to make TONS of cards...and I am talking at least 10 cards!  Here is what is included in the Hello Luscious Card Kit that I used today:

10 Choice Buttercream Cardstock A-2 card bases

10 A-2 envelopes

15 sheets of patterned paper sized for cardmaking at 4" x 6" (3 sheets each of 5 double-sided patterns from the Basic Grey Hello Luscious collection)

20 sheets of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cardstock (4 sheets each of 5 colors)

1 package of Kaisercraft Rhinestones

8 panels of Choice Buttercream Cardstock size 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (for images and layering)

5 yards of ribbon (2.5 yards each of 2 different styles)

1 Perfect Package Card Box

For my first card, I used the FABULOUS new Mom A la Carte!  I LOVE this stamp!  It just may be my favorite from this release!!

I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and colored it with Copic Markers.  I cut out and embossed the panel with Rectangle Nestabilities and then sponged the edges with Memento Cantaloupe & Memento Tangelo.

I sewed all of the layers on my sewing machine and added a border with the Medium Scallop Border Die.  The layered flowers were cut with the Friendship Blooms Die and I added some of the rhinestones included in the kit between each scallop on the border and in the center of the flower.  I created a bow with The Bow Easy.  I seriously do not make a bow without this tool!

Here are the Taylored Dies I've used on this card:

My second card today features the latest set in the Banner Day collection, It's A Banner Day 3!  I paired this must have new banner set with the previously released Make The Grade set for a fun Graduation card!!

 Once again, I used the Hello Luscious Card Kit for my card.  I stamped the schoolhouse in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and colored it with Copic Markers.  I cut out and embossed the panel with Petite Oval Nestabilities and sponged the edges with Memento Cantaloupe & Memento Tangelo.

I stamped the It's A Banner Day 3 frame and sentiment, "Congrats Grad", and cut it out with the It's A Banner Day 3 Taylored Die.  I used the Small Scallop Border Die to separate the patterned paper panels and the bow was again created with The Bow Easy.

Here are the Taylored Dies I used on this card:
