Hello everyone...today is
Taylored Expressions May Release Day.....how exciting!!! Now you can buy all the fabulous stamps and dies we have been previewing all week!!!!!
Today I am going to share a couple of projects I made with the
Birch Tree Cutting Plate and the
Birch Tree Accessories....
The background was brayered on a piece of white card stock using Barn Red and Spiced Marmalade Distress inks. The sun was punched from a piece of Summer Sun card stock and adhered to the background. The trees were cut from Chocolate Chip card stock using the
Birch Tree Cutting Plate ....a white craft ink pad was used to wiped over the top and then the tree die cut was adhered to the brayered background. Twine was wrapped around the bottom and then it was adhered to a Crumb Cake card base with foam tape. The bird and sign dies from the
Birch Tree Accessories were used to cut the bird from Real Red card stock and the sign from Crumb Cake. The sentiment is from T
aylored Expressions A Year of Sweet Sentiments.
My second project started with a pickle jar......
The jar was covered with the orange tissue paper using spray adhesive and then the Birch Tree Cutting Plate was used to cutout three die cuts from Chocolate Chip card stock. The die cuts were adhered over the tissue paper....three of them fit perfectly around the jar!! Then a lot of *stuff* was added to include canvas strip, ribbon flower, twine, ribbon , and brown bloomers were added to the top to fill in the gap between the jar and die cuts.
Tadaa!!! Now I have a fancy tea light that I can use a battery operated light with or I can even use a candle!!!
Are you ready for a lot of inspiration using more of the awesome dies and stamps from the Taylored Expressions May Release?? Check out what the Baker's Dozen has created!!!
Thanks for stopping by today....I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!
