Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients Challenge
Hello there!! My card today features the June Key Ingredients kit from Taylored Expressions.
Key Ingredients are card kits available through Taylored Expressions as a monthly subscription service. The kits can be purchased in 3 or 6 month subscriptions and include cardstock, patterned paper, ribbon, and lots of fun embellishments, enough to make up to 16 cards. How cool is that? Just think, no more shopping from store to store, trying to find the right color of cardstock or ribbon to match your paper, just sit back and relax and PRESTO, it's all done for you! You can read all about the subscription details HERE.
The June Key Ingredients has DP from October Afternoon's Fly a Kite collection. Ahhhh, I just LOVEEEE October Afternoon!! This paper is so pretty!! Anyhoo, this month's KI challenge was to create your own flower embellishment from the kit. Actually, this challenge proved fairly simple for me. The little die cut flowers, paper flowers and buttons are all part of the June KI kit, so building the flower from these elements was really easy. I started with the polka dot pink DP from the kit and matted it with both the Choice Buttercream and the Red CS from the kit and stitched around the edges. I placed the die cut flower stems behind the grass that I cut from the green CS from the kit and built the flowers on top. I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Party Blooms set and cut it out with my Nesties and threaded the twill ribbon through both ends. I finished by adding twine to the buttons and placing them over the ribbon ends and also in the center of each flower. Simple but cute, huh? Don't forget to check out the rest of the Baker's Dozen DT participating in the challenge and as an added bonus, we've also linked to several current KI subscribers who are participating in this month's challenge, as well. If anyone knows how super cool these kits are, it's these gals! Okee dokee, that's it for me today, be sure to leave a cluck below and let me know what you think! {{{hen hugs}}}
