Handmade with Love


Hello everyone...I had a chance to play in the craft room yesterday and I made a card with the Taylored Expressions April Stamp of the Month called Made With Love and the coordinating dies called Stitched with Love. Since I love to sew and many of my friends do too, this set will be inked up quite often!! 


 The diecut dress form, sewing machine, and buttons were all cut out with the Stitched with Love dies and adhered with pop dots and glue dots. The sentiment is from the Made With Love set and the paper is from Echo Parks Bundle of Joy 6x6 paper pad. The sewing, enamel dots and hemp cording finish it off. 


Thanks for stopping by today...I hope you have a great day!! I will be weeding and planting flowers today...my hubs dug me up a large area (24' by 10') in the backyard for a new iris bed. I belong to the American Iris Society and we show hybrid iris....since I bought 20 new rhizomes I guess I will need someplace to plant them. One of these days if I keep buying more iris we won't have to mow...LOL!! 
This year I won two second place and one third at our local club show...no blue ribbons this year :(  but I did get to clerk with the judge so I picked up lots of tips and info that will be very helpful for the next show!! Hopefully, I will be able to upload some pics of my iris this weekend!!

Taylored Expressions Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!


Hello everyone and welcome to the Taylored Expressions April Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!!! The Baker's Dozen DT is teaming up with the Key Ingredients DT to showcase the April SOTM called Made With Love, the coordinating dies called Stitched With Love, and the April Key Ingredients Kit which contains patterned papers from Carta Bella's Sew Lovely collection and  coordinating card stock. 

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 are the April  SOTM called Made With Love,  the Key Ingredients  kit, and the coordinating dies called Stitched with Love which are sold separately. 




My card featured the sewing machine stamp and the sentiment from the Made with Love stamp set and the coordinating sewing machine, dress form, and button dies from the Stitched With Love die set. 
The KI kit patterned paper was adhered to the background layer and sewing was done along the top edge. The sentiment was stamped and the bling was added to the word Love. The buttons were cut out of the KI patterned paper as was the dress form and they were popped up with foam tape.



The sewing machine was stamped with pink pirouette, cut out with the coordinating die, and adhered to another die cut sewing machine cut out of the navy card stock.....the twine is the finishing touch.

Now, how about a little inspiration from the Baker's Dozen DT and the Key Ingredients DT...they have created some awesome projects to share with you today!!!


Thanks for stopping by....have a great day!!!!
