Hello again, everyone! For the final day of the Taylored Expressions April release, we're highlighting some of the new products using a Mother's Day theme.
I started out by using the brand new and super cool Shade Tree Cutting Plate. I love it! It's actually a framed tree, but I chose to cut mine out of the frame for this first card. I used Core'dinations cardstock, olive green with a brown coating, which I sanded off the leaves.

The AWESOME sentiment is from the new Happy Heart stamp set. This is what my Mom used to say to us (and sing to us) when we were growing up, so it's perfect for my Mother's Day card for her. I stamped it with Frayed Burlap ink combined with a watercolor marker which was used for the "rays". The pretty little cloth covered button is from my Mom's sewing basket.

My next card also uses the Shade Tree Cutting Plate, but this time I die cut some black cardstock and left the tree framed.

I cut a piece of sky blue cardstock and used some Ditto Dots washi tape and some black Skinnie Chevron Trendy Tape along the bottom. I stamped the sentiment from From My Window along the top edge of the tape, then adhered the tree, which has a piece of twine attached to the trunk. This was all mounted on a melon card base.

Card #3 was so much fun and so simple to make.

I already had a heart cut out of a piece of a book page, so I covered it with Scotch Expressions tape to give it a little body and prevent it from being soaked with ink.

I just laid my white cardstock in the bottom of a cardboard box, placed the heart on top of it where I wanted it, and then spritzed with 4 different colors of Dylusions ink sprays. I put the cardstock in the box to keep from getting ink everywhere. Ask me how I know to do that!
Then I stamped my sentiment (love this one!), tied a bow and adhered it to the heart, and mounted the layer onto a black card base.
Whew! I hope I didn't wear you out with this long post! It's time to move on to the Baker's Dozen for some awesome inspiration using all the fabulous new Taylored Expressions products!
