Thanks a Bunch-July Key Ingredients!

 Hey everyone, I'm back with my last card from this month's Key Ingredients Kit from Taylored Expressions! It is FULL of GORGEOUS paper, embellishments, and FUN! It features the Cosmo Cricket Tea For Two paper collection. This is actually my last post as a Key Ingredients team member. I have had an amazing time being on this team, and I want to thank Taylor for allowing me to be a part of her fabulous team and company!

For my card today, I used the Fruity Friends set. I stamped two of the apples, and cut them out separately after coloring them with my Copics.  I then covered them with Diamond Glaze to make them shiny. the rest of my supplies are all in the Key Ingredients kit! For your money, it REALLY is a great deal!!

For my project today, I used some treat bags that I had, that roll down at the top, to make some small birthday gift bags.

My card was made using papers and supplies from the Key Ingredients Kit. The only things I used that were not in the kit are my brads, spiral clip, jute twine, and the dies to cut out my main image(Circle Stax Die-namcis, and Open Scalloped Doily Duo Die-namics from MFT). My birds from the Delightful Day set were stamped three times a piece, twice on Snow White card stock, and once on the Hello Summer paper from Echo Park. I colored the body twice, cut one out and popped it up with dimensionals, and then cut just the wings out of the Echo Park paper, and popped those up. My sketch is this month's Sketch For You To Try.

Key Ingredients-Besties

I was playing around with this month's Key Ingredients kit from Taylored Expressions, and this is one of the cards that I made! I LOVE the Love Monsters set from TE, so I couldn't wait to paper piece it. 

This month kit was formed around the Pebbles Fresh Goods paper pack, which is SUPER bright and cheerful. The patterns are so fun, and eye catching. Everything on my card was included in the kit except for the brads, and spiral clip.

I'm a MONSTER..

This month's Key Ingredient's Kit(April) had some of the CUTEST paper in it by Simple Stories. It is called Fabulous, and it truly is!! 

I paired the papers, tags, and ribbon all supplied in the kit ALONG with the card stock, with the SUPER CUTE  Love Monsters set from Taylored Expressions. I am IN LOVE with that sentiment, because most mornings it is EXACTLY how I feel, LOL!! I paper pieced the mug, and colored my little guy with Copics. This was my "simple" card...which doesn't seem all that simple, but hey....I didn't use a TON of embellishments, and I didn't pierce ALL the layers...right. 

It's my story and I am sticking to it!!

April Key Ingredients Hop

Hey everyone!! If you didn't already know, the 20th of the month is when we announce the new Key Ingredients challenge, and this month's challenge is SUPER fun! This month, our challenge is called Tag, You're It!! Tags are SUPER popular in the crafting community, so I can't WAIT to see you all playing along!!

Want to play along? All the information you will need is right here, and you can pick up an AWESOME blog badge, here!

For my tags today, I used the Tag You're It Die-Namics from My Favorite Things for my tag bases. I cut them out of the Brown card stock included in the kit. I added a strip of the paper from the Simple Stories FabUlous paper pad included in this month's kit. I added some ribbon to the top of my tag, also from the kit. For my smaller tag sentiment panels, I used the tags that were included in the kit. I used some twine to attage them to the base tags. My sentiment is from the Moka Betty set. To decorate the tags a little, I stamped some cookies from that set on the kraft tags.
