Taylored Expressions - Birthday Peonies

 Happy Saturday!

I have a few more cards I made with Taylored Expressions - Simply Stamped Peonies stamp set.  I shared the Mother's Day card I made a couple weeks ago.  I made these birthday cards that same week using the same set, ink and papers.

The peony flowers are 3 step stamps for each the 3 peony flowers sizes.  I used PTI inks - Sweet Blush, Pale Peony and Berry Sorbet.  The leaves are a 2 step stamp.  I used PTI Spring Moss and Simply Chartreuse ink.

I used a mix of dies for these cards.  For the above card, I used 2 dies to create the white panel.  First I cut a stitched rectangle using a Lil Inkers Designs die, then cut the scalloped edge with Simon Says Stamp! die Twisted Stitch Borders. 

The second card also uses 2 dies - MFT Sentiment Label and Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle.  

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp! "It's You Birthday".  

Cardstock is from PTI Pale Peony and the coordinating patterned paper.

Thanks for stopping by,

Taylored Expressions Graduation

 Happy Saturday!

It is graduation weekend for 2 of our nieces, one from high school and the other from Notre Dame.  I created 2 cards in their school colors, black and gold and navy and gold.  Both girls are graduating this weekend in different states so sadly we could not be at both ceremonies.

This card came together pretty quickly with these great die cuts.  I was really excited to find them.  The celebrating graduates border is from Taylored Expressions "Eventful - Graduation".  I combined it with a My Favorite Things die - Congratulations circle frame.  

The black stripe is a MFT paper pad.  The navy is PTI Dark Indigo patterned paper.  If you haven't seen PTI's coordinating patterned paper to their cardstock it is something to check out.  I'm loving the exact color match and simple patterns.  The sheets are double sided too, one side is large pattern, the other small pattern.  The congratulations circle frame is cut from gold sparkle cardstock from MFT. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Swap

Happy Saturday!

Some of the ladies from The Angel Company decided to do a swap.  How fun right?  It has been a long time since I've done one and never to this scale - 39 ladies signed up!  It was quite the package I mailed. 

So, I created a card using PaperTrey Ink stamps, inks and cardstock - also a new die stack I bought from My Favorite Things.  My prototype is above.

I cut more than the required 39 for the swap so I made a few for myself. 

One being a Thank You card (below), which I sent to a friend who had us over for Easter dinner. 

Supplies List:

Stamps: PTI “Heart 2 Heart#7”; Happy Birthday sentiment from “Bigger Blooms”; Thank You sentiment from Simon Says Stamp "Brush Stroke Messages"

Inks: PTI - Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse and True Black

Cardstock: PTI - Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse and White

Embellishments: Darice Black Sticky Back Rhinestone, Ribbon
Die: My Favorite Things – Stitched Mini Scalloped Rectangle Stax
