Taylored Expressions Release Party!


Are you ready to see the last of the 3 new sets available at Taylored Expressions today?!  The Baker's Dozen are showing off the new set Cuppie Love Scenes, which has to be one of my all time favorite Cuppie sets yet, AND it was a concept created by fellow 'baker' Donna Baker!  I am so excited to show you this card - I think it's because I had one of those crafty moments when everything just came together SO easily and when I finished I couldn't stop smiling at this card!  It's such a happy card.

I added some fun elements to it - the clouds are filled in with Sugar Sparkly Fluff to make them look like cotton, haha!  The balloon is paper pieced with My Mind's Eye - Be Loved paper from the Valentine Key Ingredients and the little Cuppies are topped of with little rhinestone "cherries".  I also sponged Bashful Blue ink around the edges of the main panel to create a little sky scene.

Also, a new fun element added to the TE store today are these fun little polymer clay buttons created by Jamie Pyles.  These adorable little buttons are designed to coordinate with the Valentine Key Ingredients and are such a cute little embellishment that stands out!  Want to see more?  Hop on over to see the other cute little buttons and fantastic creations the Baker's Dozen have for you today using Cuppie Love Scenes!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Karen
