Taylored Expressions – CAS Friendship card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, summer-themed, friendship card created with Taylored Expressions products.

My card combines the watermelons cut with the Little Bits – Watermelon die set with a sentiment from the Punny Man 2 stamp set.

To make the card:

I die-cut the watermelons from Guava, Pink Champagne, Oreo, and Lime Zest cardstock.
I created a card base with the Weathered Embossing Folder from Sugar Cube cardstock.
I cut a rectangle from the Hello Happiness paper pack and a circle frame from Pink Champagne cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment in Oreo ink on Sugar Cube cardstock. I adhered the stamped panel behind the circle frame.

Super Hero DAD – TE Father’s Day Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing one more Father’s Day card created with Taylored Expressions products. I combined the My Super Hero Stamp & Die Combo set with the Caps Lock – Dad die to create a Super Hero DAD card.

Before stamping the Twinkle Twinkle Background in Earl Grey ink, I put down a small strip of masking paper on the Sugar Cube cardstock where I wanted to add my sentiment.

The Super Hero figure was colored with Copic markers to match the red/yellow/black/grey color scheme. I used the Label Stacklets 10 set to create the background under the Caps Locks – Dad letters.

TE CAS Patriotic Card – Freshly Made Sketches 340

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS patriotic card created with Taylored Expressions products that I am entering into the Freshly Made Sketches 340 challenge.

To create the card:

I die-cut the Caps Lock – USA (Sugar Cube cardstock) and the two stars (Cherry Pop and Blue Corn cardstock).
I did a repeat stamping in Blue Corn ink of one of the phrases in the TE Land of the Free set on Sugar Cube cardstock, which I matted with TE patterned paper, to go behind the die-cuts.
I dry-embossed the Sprinkles cardstock card base with the Fireworks folder.
I assembled the pieces, popping up the USA with foam adhesive.
