It’s\u00a0Taylored Expressions<\/a> August Release time and OH MY WORD is this a giant release filled with so many funny stamps and dies! You are going to LOVE it!<\/p>\n

I am starting off to today with previews of some new dies – the Build a Scene Dies. There are 4 sets of companion dies that all coordinate perfectly together to be the base of any outdoor scene. In my card above I used all four: Build a Scene Mountain Tops, Build a Scene Rolling Hills, Build a Scene Sunshine<\/strong> and Build a Scene Swirly Clouds<\/strong>. To make my card I used different colors of Bazzill cardstock scraps in colors fitting a landscape. After die cutting all the pieces I sponged the edges with coordinating inks (found below). I then layered it all together separating the different layers with foam tape. To finish it off added a bit of Stardust Stickles to the mountain tops snow and used some twine and a button to embellish the sentiment (from the new Zinnia Bouquet<\/strong> stamp set) that was die cut using the smallest Banner Stacklets 1 die<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

For my second project I used a gorgeous new addition to the flower bouquet series – Zinnia Bouquet<\/strong>. I LOVE this set. It’s so fun and easy to color and I love the little bucket the flowers are sitting in, not to mention this stamp lends itself to a nice bright cheery little card. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

For my card I started out by stamping the image in Colorbox Black ink<\/strong> on Choice Watercolor cardstock<\/strong><\/a>. I then heat embossed it with Detail Black Embossing Powder<\/strong> (Ranger). I used Distress Markers<\/strong> to color this along with a small tipped waterbrush. The card base is made from Choice Kraft Cardstock<\/strong><\/a> and layered with Simple Stories Vintage Bliss<\/strong><\/a> paper (LOVE!!!). I added the border using the Lace Chain Border die<\/strong><\/a>. The focal image and matte are cut using Label Stacklets 2<\/strong><\/a>. I used Hexagon Stacklets<\/strong><\/a> to die cut the sentiment. Everything is sponged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink<\/strong><\/a> (Ranger) and I distressed the edges a bit here and there to give it a more shabby feel.<\/p>\n
