I Always Have Fun When I'm With You {Taylored Expressions June Key Ingredients}!

** PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY MFTWSC POST.  THANKS! **

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!!

I am back today with another card I have created using the awesome June Key Ingredients Kit from Taylored Expressions!!   Here is a peek at what is included in this fabulous kit!

I had lots of fun creating this card!!  I started with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC160 for my layout and pulled out the darling Moka Taylor for my focal image.  I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored her with Copic Markers.  I cut her out and layered her with another panel of Choice Snow White Cardstock (I have been loving this look lately) and added stitching with my Janome Sew Mini.

Of course, all of the patterned paper and cardstock are from the June Key Ingredients (LOVING Hello Summer from Echo Park!) and I created a little flag panel as per the sketch with one of the patterns.  I added a border with the Small Scallop Border Taylored Die underneath the bottom panel for some more detail and of course, added lots more stitching.  I added a flower cut with the new Petal Pop Ups 1 Taylored Die that I topped with a button and sparklet from the Kit.

Here is a closer look at her dress.  I paper pieced it with the same pattern I used on the background of my card, and I stamped it and cut it out three times, cutting the layers separately so I could add lots of dimension.  LOVE the look of that!

I used the chat bubble (LOVE) and sentiment (LOVE) from the exclusive to KI Subscribers stamp set, Delightful Day (LOVE) for the sentiment panel.  These chat bubbles make me swoon.  I added a Sparklet (I NEED to get more of these) on her hair band for a fun detail.

Here are the Copic Markers I've used on my card:

Happy Heart Day!

**PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY MFT POST.  THANKS!**

Hi everyone!  Happy Valentine's Day!

I realized last night that I need tags for boxes of chocolates that Meredith is giving her teacher and two teacher's aides.  I probably should have thought of this sooner, but the February Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions came to the rescue and I created this trio of tags in no time!

I started with a base of kraft cardstock from the kit and cut three using the Frame It Up Taylored Die.  I then impressed all three with the Houndstooth/DamaskTaylored Impression Plate.  I cut another panel, this time out of patterned paper, again with the Frame It Up 1 Taylored Die.  The patterned paper is Rosy from My Minds Eye and a full 6X6 pad is included in the kit!

Using the red cardstock in the kit, I stamped the medallion from the exclusive Vintage Dreamer set and then cut them out with Circle Nestabilities.  I then layered this panel onto panels cut with the Layering Doily Medium Taylored Die (swoon!).  On all three I added a panel cut with the Fly Your Flag 2 Taylored Die and I stamped "Happy Heart Day" from Labels Of Love II.  

On the tag for her teacher, I added a gorgeous Prima Fairytale rose from the Kit, and for the other two, I cut two hearts using the Hearts A Plenty Taylored Dies and then added them to the tags topped off with black pearls, also from the kit.  All of the elements were popped up with Foam Tape and I added some pearls with the Viva Decor Pen in Cream.

Here is a closeup of the tag with the rose:

And a closeup of the tag with the heart.

Here are the Taylored Dies/Taylored Impression Plate I've used today.

Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients - Happy Birthday!

**PLEASE SCROLL DOWN A SMIDGE FOR MY KRAFTIN' KIMMIE POST**

Hi everyone!!  Happy Saturday!   

I am excited to share another project with you using the FABULOUS February Key Ingredients Kit from Taylored Expressions!  Here is a glimpse at this amazing kit!

Perhaps you stopped by yesterday when the Baker's Dozen and the Key Ingredients Team previewed this kit along with the exclusive Vintage Dreamer stamp set?  If not, I'd love for you to head on over to Taylor's Blog to get all the deets...it's such a fabulous value!

For my card today, I started with the current Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge, TESC152.  I flipped the sketch to accommodate the image I wanted to use today...the ever darling Moka Taylor!  I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored her with Copic Markers.  I then "fussy cut" her out and popped her up onto panels cut with Petite Oval and Petite Scalloped Oval Nestabilities.  I impressed the kraft oval with the new Houndstooth/Damask Taylored Impression Plate (swoon!).

The scallop panel was cut with the Medium Scallop Border Taylored Die, and all of the cardstock and patterned paper, Rosy from My Minds Eye, are from the February Key Ingredients Kit.  I added LOTS of distressing, something I don't often do but just LOVE the look of), and lots of stitching.  The sentiment, "Happy Birthday" is from Labels Of Love, and I stamped it onto a panel of patterned paper cut with the Fly Your Flag 2 Taylored Die.  I think this die is invaluable...I use it ALL the time.

Here is a closeup of sweet Moka Taylor.  LOVE her.  You can also get a good view of the panel impressed with the Houndstooth/Damask Taylored Impression Plate.

Using ribbon and a GORGEOUS Prima Fairytale Rose, both from the February Key Ingredients Kit, I created this bow with The Bow Easy and added the flower on top of it.  LOVE the look of this...and I MUST get more of these roses...they are SO gorgeous!  All of the panels are popped up with Foam Tape for lots of dimension.

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

My sweet friends Charmaine and Jessie (over on the KI Blog) have more inspiration for you today using the February Key Ingredients Kit!

It's no secret that I LOVE the Key Ingredients Kits from Taylored Expressions, and this month's kit is AMAZING!  You can make SO many cards with each kit!  I have created this set of four cards today...and you can see that I added layers...these are not CAS cards!  I still have TONS of cardstock and patterned paper left to make ALOT more cards!

I've used the gorgeous new Vintage Dreamer set!  I LOVE the bold patterns and this darling typewriter!  I started with the kraft cardstock in the kit and stamped the large flourish stamp in a pattern.  I then impressed the panel with the new and GORGEOUS Houndstooth/Damask Taylored Impression Plate.  I think this is my favorite Taylored Impression Plate so far!

I cut Choice Buttercream paper from the kit with the Large Layering Doily Taylored Die and then cut the circles of cardstock and patterned paper with Circle Nestabilities.  I arranged them where I wanted them on the card and then cut it down to where I wanted it.  I sewed around each circle...stitch by stitch.  That took awhile but I really love the look of it!

I stamped the typewriters twice for each card...once in Kraft and once in Choice Buttercream.  I added sentiments to the buttercream "paper", cut it out and popped it up so it looks like the paper in the typewriter.  I rolled it a bit for a more realistic look.  I cut out the typewriters as well and they are popped up with Foam Tape onto the circle panels.

I added matching ribbon from this Key Ingredients kit to each card, and created the bows with The Bow Easy.  I added a Prima Fairytale Rose (LOVE these) in the center of each bow.

I added black pearls in the top corner of each, and more stitching finishes them off!  Here is a closeup of one of the typewriters.  LOVE them!

The May Key Ingredients Are Here!!

**THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY! PLEASE SCROLL DOWN JUST A SMIDGE FOR MY SFYTT POST! THANKS!**

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!!!

Today is a HAPPY HAPPY day in Stamping A Latte land!! Why you ask? Well, it's because I get to share one of my ALL time favorite things with you all, the newest Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions!

If you come around these parts (lol!) you are well aware of just how much I {heart} the Key Ingredients by Taylored Expressions, and the May Key Ingredients is my FAVORITE thus far!! (Yes...I KNOW...I say that all the time...but boy oh boy...I LOVE this kit!).

The May Key Ingredients are CHOCK full of cardstock, patterned paper (Pebbles Treehouse...YUM!), ribbons and chipboard, all hand selected by Taylor herself for the maximum level of fabulousness!

One of my favorite things about each Key Ingredients are the embellishments! I LOVE to embellish my cards, especially with ribbon, and each KI always has such an AWESOME assortment of ribbon (different colors, widths, styles), you can get SO many different looks from just one KI!!! Aside from the TONS of ribbon each month, there is also another AMAZING embellishment that I always LOVE to use!! I feel SO creative using the Key Ingredients!

I have two cards to share with you today featuring the May Key Ingredients!! For my first card, I used Taylor's Sketch from yesterday, TESC113, which was PERFECT for what I had in mind! Now...don't be shocked, but there is absolutely NO stamping on my first card!!! NONE at all!

In lieu of stamping, I used the rub-ons from the May Key Ingredients for both my focal panel AND sentiment panel(s)! How FUN!!! I used the owl rub-ons (how CA-uuuuute are they?) for my focal panel and cut it out and embossed it with Circle Nestabilities. I sponged the edges a bit for definition and layered it onto Scallop Circle Nestabilities. The sentiment that I used, "You and Me" is also a rub-on, and I just cut it up into three pieces and rubbed them on! Easy peasy lemon squeezy! I finished this one off with some yummy yellow polka dot ribbon, also from the May KI!

For my second card, I used another one of Taylor's Sketches, this one from two weeks ago, TESC11. I LOVE this sketch because it really shows off the YUMMY Treehouse Pebbles paper in the May KI! For this card, I stamped the bee hive from the brand new Garden Party Critters by Taylored Expressions, one of the two new sets in Taylor's very own stamp line, TE, colored it with Copic Markers and then cut it out and embossed it with Circle Nestabilities. I layered it onto Scallop Circle Nestabilities. I inked up only the "bee happy" part of the sentiment, also from Garden Party Critters, and punched it out with a Word Window Punch. I popped it up on top of the bee hive.

For my embellishments on this card, I used three of the flower rub-ons from the May KI and I LOVE how they look on the side of the card! A simple ribbon knot using some more delicious ribbon from the May KI finishes this one off!!

The March Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions are here!!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Monday!!

I am SO excited to be able to share the AMAZING March Key Ingredients from Taylored Expressions with you today!!

If you have ever been to my blog (or my stamp room...grin!!), you know it's no secret that the Key Ingredients are just about my FAVORITE product in the stamping world! This months kit is certainly no exception!!

Aren't the colors and papers in this kit just DELICIOUS??? This months patterned paper is Crate Paper Brook and it is just scrumptious!! All of the members of the Bakers Dozen playing along today have a common theme with their creations...TEXTURE!!!

For my card, I opted to use an embossing folder for my texture. I used the Cuttlebug Folder, Distressed Stripes, as I just LOVE how it looks like wood...which goes perfectly with the stamps I used today, one of my FAVORITE Taylored Expressions sets ever, Branching Out!!

I did something on this card that I have NEVER done before...I stamped and colored my image on the Kraft paper included in the March Key Ingredients! I can't believe I have never done this before...I LOOOOOOVE the look of it!! I started by stamping the branch, bird & birdhouse from Branching Out in Memento Tuxedo Black and then colored the image with Copic Markers, pulling my color scheme from this delicious patterned paper!

Do you see that GORGEOUS butterfly? An assortment of butterfly embellishments, as well as Maya Road leaf trinket pins are also included in this FABULOUS new Key Ingredients!!


On my second project, I started with a Tall Gable Box, just one of the MANY favor boxes available from Taylored Expressions. I started by creating a small panel for the front of my box using the cardstock from the March Key Ingredients. I then, using Scalloped Circle Nestabilities, cut out four scalloped circles from Crate Paper Brook, distressed and sponged the edges and added a button from my stash in the center. I have been itching to make one of these flowers for a while, and I thought it would be perfect to show off some texture!!!

I added some piercing around the edge and the sentiment, "Just Because" is also from Branching Out by Taylored Expressions and it was cut out using one of the tags in the Tags Trio by Spellbinders!! I added another butterfly to the top of the box (I just LOVE them!!) and added some delish ribbon, also from the March Key Ingredients, top the handle of the box!!

I personally LOVE the Key Ingredients for some many different reasons! First and foremost, the cardstock, patterned paper and embellishments are always SO gorgeous and perfectly coordinated! The KI really makes my cards come together SO easily! Another aspect of the KI that I LOVE is that it is SUCH an amazing value!! You get SO much for the price, and it all comes in a delighful storage container that you can use for SO many purposes!! You can get ALL the deets, PLUS a delighful inspiration gallery for each KI, right HERE on the Key Ingredients Blog!!

The November Key Ingredients Are Here!!!

**PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MY TWILIGHT TUESDAY NEW MOON HOP AND ARTFUL INKABLES NEW MOON HOP PROJECTS!!**

Hi everyone! Happy Friday!!!

I LOOOOOOVE Fridays...and I LOVE them even more when I get to share another AMAZING Key Ingredients with you!! Today, some of the members of the Bakers Dozen are sharing with you the GORGEOUS November Key Ingredients, available now at Taylored Expressions!!


We all know how much I ADORE the Key Ingredients, and we all know that I say that each one is my favorite, but holy guacamole, the November Key Ingredients ROCK my stampin' world!!!

I have some projects to share with you today that are all about being thankful and the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday!! This year, Chris and I are hosting Thanksgiving at our home. We aren't having a huge group, just Chris, Meredith and myself, my parents and his parents, and perhaps my Nani. I don't think it matters how MANY people you share the holidays with...it just matters that you are together with the people that mean the most to you!!

I am an only child, but I never felt anything lacking when I was growing up! For each and every holiday, I was surrounded by my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins. (I have one or two cousins that also beat me up when I was little, so I didn't miss that whole "older brother" thing...LOL!!). I want Meredith to grow up the same way...surrounded by people who love her more than anything, and I want to instill in her the same values that my parents instilled in me!!

The card that I am sharing with you today is for my parents. I am SO thankful that I have such wonderful parents. I feel like I say "thank you" to them a gillion times a day, and I still don't feel like it's enough! If you look up "supportive" in the dictionary, you would see a pic of my Mom & Dad! They are TOTALLY awesome!

For my card, I started with some of the YUMMY cardstock included in this KI, Rose Dark and Birchtone Dark! The colors in this KI are SOOOOOO rich...I just ADORE them!! I added a strip of patterned paper, which is the Indian Summer collection from Basic Grey! I textured the Rose Dark and Birchtone Dark panels with the Diamonds & Stars Impressabilities from Spellbinders.

For my focal panel, I first cut out one of the Labels 9 Nestabilities from Choice Snow White Cardstock and then, with the die still on my cardstock, stamped "Thankful for You" and one of the GORGEOUS flowers from the newly released Celebrate Life set from Taylored Expressions! I stamped the sentiment in Memento Rich Cocoa and the flowers in two different Memento colors, Rose Bud & Rhubarb Stalk! I LOVE these Memento inks!!! I kept the paper in the die again, and using a sponge, sponged Rose Bud and then Rhubarb Stalk again around the edge of the die. I removed the die and Viola!! I added some DELICIOUS Wine Kaiser Rhinestones (these are included in the kit...yep, it's fabulous!!) to the centers of each of my flowers. I also added them to the corners of my card just because they are so pretty!!

I finished off my card with some luscious ribbon that is also included in the kit...and do you see what else is by my bow? Skeleton Leaves!! These are AMAZING! I hadn't used them before this KI, but they are SO super elegant and easy to use! After I tied my bow, I added the tiniest bit of adhesive onto the bottom of the leaves and just added them under the bow! LOVE them!!

Now, you know me (grin!), so I couldn't just make one project!! Here is have created place card settings for my Thanksgiving table! I must admit, I LOVE how these came out!!

Here is what I did...It was super simple! I started by cutting out 8 Labels 9 Nestabilities from Choice Snow White Cardstock and I then, using a scoring tool, folded them in half.

Once they were all folded, I stamped the same stamps and in the same colors as my card, and I then put them, one by one, back in the die, and proceeded to sponge each one!















You can see here how I adhered them to my card!

When they are folded down, which is how they stay, you just see the "Thankful For You" sentiment. BUT...when you open it up, you can see where I wrote the names of my guests!

Now that I have babbled on and on (lol!), please check out what some other members of the Bakers Dozen have done with this AWESOME November Key Ingredients here:
