Hello! Today I am sharing two cards created with Taylored Expressions supplies using sketches from Card Maps.
My first card features the Seas the Day stamp set sentiment paired with the Little Bits – Sailboat die cut for a nautical-themed card using a square sketch.
For the card base, I stamped the Striped Background with Sprinkles ink on Sugar Cube cardstock. I stamped the Seas the Day sentiment in Blue Corn ink on a square cut from Sugar Cube cardstock. I cut the Little Bits – Sailboat from Cherry Pop, Earl Grey, and Sugar Cube cardstock and assembled it. I cut two squares from Blue Corn cardstock and dry-embossed them with the On the Spot embossing folder for the ocean water. I dry-embossed the Sugar Cube cardstock square on the right with the Cloudy Days embossing folder. I added fish cut with the On the Water – Fishing Boat set from Lemon Meringue cardstock to the water for a bit of color.
My second card combines several different Blooms die sets with a sentiment from the Laurels stamp set.
Here is the horizontal sketch I used:
I stamped the Laurels sentiment in Lollipop ink on Sugar Cube cardstock and cut it with one of the Stitched Circle Stacklets dies. I cut two additional circles with the same die. I cut the flowers with the Mini Bloomers, Mini Bloomers 2, Bloomers 5, and Bloomers 6 die sets from Strawberry Milkshake, Lollipop, and Lemon Meringue cardstock and assembled them. I cut the rectangle panel from patterned paper in the Playful Patterns – Sweet package and added scallop edges cut with the Postage Stamp Edger die from Strawberry Milkshake cardstock. I added the assembled panel to a card base covered with patterned paper from the Playful Patterns – Sweet package.
Jean your eye for color and composition are fabulous. Great cards.
