The Baker's Dozen have two sets to share with you today!  First up, one of the newest offerings in the Moka line @ Taylored Expressions...Moka Katie!  She is another beautiful Moka all dressed up for any important occassion!  Moka Katie, like all of the Mokas, was illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Moka Collection, and this is a Petite set of five stamps.

I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored her with Copic Markers.  I paper pieced her dress with the same papers I used on the card, Times and Seasons from Echo Park Papers.  I added a fun flower detail using the Friendship BloomsTaylored Die, and added a bit of stitching and some brads.  All of the panels are popped up with Foam Tape for dimension.

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

Next up is a FABULOUS new set from a brand new line at Taylored Expressions!  Love Grows Here is a set of 17 stamps from the newest illustrator, Emily Burger, and the first in her collection, Embracing Grace!  I LOVE this set!  LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

There are SEVEN different tree stamps in this set, which cover every season and occassion!  For my card today, I chose to use this fabulous fall tree with this sweet owl.  I stamped the tree in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers.

I cut out and embossed the panel with Rectangle Nestabilities and drew in a frame with my Copic Multliner.  I added shimmer with Spica Glitter Pens...my newest obsession, to the leaves.

All of the patterned paper is Darling Dear from My Minds Eye and I added three leaves in the top corner cut with the FABULOUS new Mini Leaves Taylored Dies!  LOVE!  A bit of stitching, a ribbon/bow combo (the bow was created with the Bow Easy), some selective stitching and some brads finish this one off.

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

Please head on over and visit with the rest of the Baker's Dozen and see what they have cooked up for you today!
