Taylored Expressions - Pinterest Inspiration: Get Well Soon!

Hi Everyone!

 One place that is always great to get inspiration is the Taylored Expressions Pinterest albums. This is such a great place to browse thru when you are starting to make a card and are needing inspiration. I like to make some tea and get comfy on the couch and browse thru pinterest - makes it such a cozy indulgent way to spend some quality "me" time :) And its so easy to get lost in all the beautiful cards and projects there!!

As I was perusing the gallery, I found this awesome card made the talented Tammie Edgerton!! I love how sweet and simple this layout is and all that white space and pops of color! So I used the same layout and instead of white space - I used some "black space" - and literally went with the space theme using the fun and fabulous Far Out stamp set. I love the beautiful use of paper flags hanging from the card on one side - so I did the same with some stashes of paper that was still on my desk :) and used some stickles for the stars:

Here is another angle of the card - I embossed the star ship and sentiment with Versamark and white embossing powder - I just absolutely LOVE how this turned out:

Card Ingredients:
Stamps: Far Out stamp set from TE
Inks: VersaMark and White Embossing Powder (Stampendous)
Papers: Toffee (TE), Sugar Cube (TE), Pumpkin (TE), Oreo (TE)
Accessories: silver stickles, foam tape, heart punch, glue dots

I loved making this pinterest CASE of Tammie's card!And if you ever need an inspiration on where to start in making card - have fun checking out the Taylored Expressions Pinterest Page. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
Hugs,
Sankari :)

Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to make a CAS inspired thank you card for a dear friend who has gone above and beyond to help me thru a difficult time. I used only dies to create this card - no stamping! I used the Tall and Skinny Alpha dies from Taylored Expressions to create this card and added some die cut flowers using the Petal Pop Ups 2 dies from TE:

Here is a close up of the letters - I added some glitter to alternating letters for just a bit of sparkle and fun :) I also added some leaves with the Mini Leaves dies for a bit of accent:

Card Ingredients:
Papers: Sugar Cube (TE), Toffee (TE), Basil Pesto (TE) and rose from supply
Taylored Dies: Tall and Skinny Alpha dies, Petal Pop ups 2 dies and  Mini Leaves dies (TE)
Accessories: stickles, best glue ever, foam dimensional tape, brads, corner chomper, EK success border punch and glue dots.

Loved creating a fun and simple thank you card using just dies (look Ma, no stamps!)!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
hugs,
Sankari :)

Sweet Sunday Sketch #264 -Triumph Over Fear!

Hi Everyone!!

 Happy Sunday! Hope that you have been having a great weekend! 

 Sunday means its time for another awesome Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge sketch! YAY! So stay in your jammies grab a cup of coffee and join in for some crafty fun :)

 I seriously love this sketch - I mean its just so cool! So many possibilities with the tilty panel part of the sketch!

 I used one of my favorite stamp sets from Verve stamps called Words of Wisdom. I just love all of these amazing sentiments - seriously inspiring! One of the sentiments that really called out to me today was "Triumph Over Fear" - so beautiful and so inspiring! I embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and then created layers with different DP:


I created a line of edging with an EK border punch and for the angular part of the sketch and then lined it with some liquid pearls. I also added a Fairytale Prima flower with some enamel dots over the sentiment:

Card Ingredients:
Stamps: Words of Wisdom from Verve stamps
Papers: Salt Water Taffy (TE), Oreo (TE)
Accessories: Foam dimensional tape, Best Glue Ever, EK Success punch, Stampendous White Detail embossing powder, heart punch, enamel dots and burlap ribbon

This card just speaks to me - I think it just reminds me to face my fears and not let them swallow me up... I think I am going to keep this on my desk to remind me of this everyday! 

 Loved making this card - please stop by the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge Blog and check out all the awesome creations from the SSSC team! And please join in on the fun and play along!!
