The Scalloped Edge

Welcome to day one of sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions!  The Baker's Dozen has sneaks of two new stamp sets, Treasure Life and Dream Big, plus a new A la Carte stamp, Apothecary Shelf, with coordinating Apothecary Jar Dies and the new Stars Impression Plate.  I have two samples to share with you so let's get right to it!

Up first is the new set called Treasure Life.  Treasure Life was designed by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line.  It is a set of 23 stamps made of deeply etched red rubber that is already trimmed and mounted on EZ Mount cling foam.  This is a beautiful and elegant set that can be used for many occasions.

I combined the set with the new Apothecary Jar dies and the Apothecary Shelf A la Carte stamp.  The shelf was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and was colored with Copics.  It was cut out and popped up for dimension.  I stamped three of the jars and cut them out with the coordinating dies.  They were also popped up for dimension.  I added some lemons (although they were colored more like oranges) to one of the jars and a label to the center jar.   All of the papers are MME Stella and Rose Mabel.  Some machine stitching and a Medium Scallop Border finish the card.

This next card was made with the new set Dream Big.  Dream Big was also illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line.  Dream Big is a set of 26 stamps made of deeply etched red rubber, trimmed and mounted on EZ Mount cling foam.  This set is PERFECT for the graduate in your life!

I went fairly simple (for me) with my card.  I stamped the large circle in Night Of Navy ink, then stamped it again in Pumpkin Pie.  I cut the cardstock and dp with Circle Nestabilities, popping each layer for dimension. The graduation cap was stamped in Night of Navy ink, was cut out and popped up for dimension.  A fun sentiment and some machine stitching finish the card.  All of the papers are Echo Park Little Boy dp.

It's time to hop around to see what the other girls have cooked up with today's sets:
