Emily Burger has another super cute set for the Embracing Grace line of stamps - This is Far Out, a set of 21 images and sentiments.



I had to giggle at this sentiment - You compute me - hehe!!  I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored them with Copic Markers.  Nothing cuter than robots in love, right?  I added the Sprockets Border Die in red cardstock.  The layout is Card Patterns Sketch 161.

Up next is a digi image just in time for Father's Day.  Best part is.... It's FREE with any May Release Bundle purchase!  There are several to choose from - you can download both an open line image and a 2nd pre-colored image for super fun, quick cards and projects.  You will also be able to download an inspiration sheet showing all of the projects created by the Baker's Dozen this week.  Be sure to check out the Bundle Options on the Specials page on Release Day, Thursday, May 3rd.



I printed the image out on Choice Snow White Cardstock and then colored it with Copic Markers.  All of the papers are from the Loyal Project Pantry Kit.

When you want to bake up a yummy dessert you head to your pantry for the ingredients.  When you want to create a sweet papercrafting project, you can head to a Taylored Expressions Project Pantry for all the coordinating elements.  We've found that some of the best cake and cookie recipes are the ones based around a basic batter or dough recipe with lots of options to spice it up according to your tastes.  Taylored Expressions is offering the Loyal Basic Recipe Kit along with optional Spice It Up Ingredients that you can pick and choose from to build the kit just the way you want it.

The Loyal Project Pantry Basic Recipe Kit is $13.95 and includes:
Authentique Loyal 6x6 pad of 36 of sheets
12 sheets of coordinating solid cardstock
5 yards of ribbon (1 yard each of 5 different styles)

Spice It Up Coordinating products will be listed in the store under this item.
