TE Product Focus & TKT27


Hey lil' hens!! It's time for another Taylored Expressions Product Focus. This month's Product Focus is STICKERS!! Now I must say... stickers are not something I use very often so this was a good experiment for me. The sticker selection I'm featuring today is from October Afternoon's Thrift Shop collection. Oh, be still my heart.... Free Smiley Courtesy of www.millan.net I SO LOVE this collection of papers, so these stickers were a great addition. Ok, so after staring at all the sentiments on this sheet of stickers, I finally eyeballed this one here and thought, "YES!" this would go perfect with Taylor's new set released this month called, "Hangin Out". So I grabbed the little dress in the set and stamped it onto a sheet of DP from the October Afternoon's Thrift Shop 8x8 paper pad and cut it out with my scissors. I added some shadows to the dress with my Copics and then adhered the dress to the Choice Buttercream CS that I had cut out with my Scalloped Square Nestabilities and matted with a square of Kraft CS. I matted each DP with the Choice Buttercream CS and also punched the bottom with my Martha Stewart border punch. I stitched around the edges of the DP, tied this pretty ribbon into a cute bubbly bow, and adhered the piece to the Kraft cardbase finishing with my sticker sentiment. I really LOVE how this card turned out and I can see where the rest of the stickers on this sheet are gonna come in real handy as I continue to use this OA paper pad. I know one thing, they sure make for a quick sentiment and added the perfect finishing touch to this card. I LOVE it when a plan comes together!! LOL!! Ok, that's it for me today... be sure to leave a cluck below and let me know what ya think, k?

Hmmmm??? You waitin' for sumthin' else??? Oh, you say it's That's Krafty Thursday??? Well, wouldya lookit the time!! Lands sake, I clean forgot... Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!
