Taylored Expressions January Stamp of the Month Blog Hop



Hello everyone and welcome to the Taylored Expressions January Stamp of the Month Hop!!! The Baker's Dozen DT is teaming up with the Key Ingredients DT to showcase the January SOTM called Kiss Me, the coordinating dies called Love M'stache, and the January Key Ingredients Kit which contains patterned papers from Crate Paper's Love Notes collection, card stock,  and some beautiful ribbons!! 

The Stamp of the Month and the Key Ingredients Kit are monthly subscriptions with three options. You can read all about it here in the Kit Department of the Taylored Expressions Store. 


Here is the Delux Kit that includes both the January SOTM and the KI kit


Here are the SOTM coordinating dies called Love M'stache (sold separately)




 

My card features the curly mustache die from the Love M'stache die set. It was cut out of Choice Black card stock and popped up with foam tape in between the two sentiments that were stamped with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. The hearts were stamped on the red card stock also with Versamark and embossed with white ep, cutout, and adhered under the corner of the sentiment layer. The Lace Chain Border die was used to cutout a piece of  patterned paper andit was adhered to the bottom of the background. A piece of red satin ribbon was added above the diecut border. 



The doily from the same die set was cutout of pink card stock, adhered under the sentiment and the button with twine and the background sewing finish it off. 


I had all these beautiful papers from the January KI kit sitting on my counter after making my first card so I just had to make another card!!!! This one features the XO stamp, the little heart stamp, and  the fun sentiment all from the January SOTM stamp set, and the lips die from the SOTM die set. 



The banners were all cutout by hand and adhered under the band layer that was stitched with the sewing machine. Aren't those lips fun....I'll be using that die a lot for more fun Valentines !!!!

How about a little inspiration from the KI and Baker's Dozen DT's...I can't wait to see what they created with these super fun stamps and dies!!!!



Thanks for stopping by today...I hope you have fun on the hop and find lots of inspiration!!!
