Taylored Expressions September Release Day…

Pam Sparks Build A Cake Thurs

Welcome! Two cards to share…It’s release day, the new products are in the store and we’re celebrating Taylored Expressions 8th birthday with cake!  My post today is featuring The NEW Build a Cake die set. I’ve never been a cake decorator but I felt like one while playing with this new set!  I used pieces from the set and added the 9 from the NEW Candle Numbers die.  I know…it’s TE’s 8th birthday but I was thinking about our granddaughter Gena’s 9th birthday when I made this!  oops! hehe

I added the small rose stamps from the Fresh Florals stamp and die sets.

The Mint Julep card-stock was new awhile back and I wasn’t sure when I’d ever use it!  It’s perfect here though! I now love it! lol

I used some of the new White Nuvo Crystal Drops too…so fun and easy!

My next card…

Pam Sparks Door to Door Fall Decor

I love the TE Door and I love the ‘more’ that Taylor keeps coming up with to make playing with these Door to Door Decor sets so fun and creative!

My card today uses the NEW Door To Door Fall Decor in addition to the original Door to Door set, the Door to Door Molding set and the NEW Little Bits Fall Harvest dies.  So fun!  I die cut the corn stalk from TE Dijon card-stock and colored the green with Copic Sketch Markers. Almost looks real! lol

I put acetate behind the molding to simulate glass in the window areas. Some extra touches here and there with Distress ink and Copic Sketch markers.

The TE Brick Embossing Folder in TE Pumpkin card-stock is perfect for the ‘house’ part of the card.

I’m a happy stamper even though I didn’t use any stamps on either of these cards!  Ink counts!   : )

poppystamps Dogwood Blossom and Swirly Bird…

Pam Sparks Dogwood Trio

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Today I’m posting some easy on the eyes cards… hehe  Is there a color that doesn’t go with kraft card-stock?  I don’t know of any right off the top of my head! lol  Today it’s ‘pinks’ turn.

And what better way to use pink than these beautiful poppystamps Dogwood Blossom dies!  I’ll put links to all the dies below in Inlinkz since the post is gonna be a little picture heavy.

Pam Sparks Dogwood Blossom Corner

I started off with this Dogwood Blossom Corner die and one thing lead to another! lol  (I used my embedding die technique, video how to under the blog header video tab and titled Adhering Intricate Dies)

Pam Sparks Dogwood Blossom Triptych

and why not just use them all in pink and kraft?! lol
