Over the last few months, you have seen the release of the Iconic Wishes Stamp & Die combos with a fall set and a Christmas set. The newest addition is a cross that can be used for Easter or anytime - Iconic Wishes - Savior Stamp & Die Combo. Even more fun, there are two crosses, one is filled and one is unfilled. Here's what I did with the filled cross.
The other sneak peek on this card is the Floral Frenzy stamps and the dies. It's a fun set that's just a bit off-kilter - it deliberately does not line up to give you that loose look.
The filled cross is bold so I paired it with a graphic cutting plate for the background and bright reds and greens. There's also an unfilled cross that has a more delicate look. I used the same general layout as the first card, but I used softer colors, added a background color so the lighter cross didn't get lost, and used a more delicate cutting plate for the background. Here's the unfilled version.
This cross set is a fabulous addition to the Christian products at Taylored Expressions!
Here are the supply lists for these two cards. Be sure to keep scrolling down for a chance at a prize and for another sneak peek.

Next I am using a brand new background - Petite Petals Background. Staying with the Easter theme, I paired it with the previously released He is Risen and a little cross from Little Bits - Crosses. (As you are checking out the other designers, notice that there is also a new Christian sentiment set called Words of Faith that is shaped perfectly to fit into this background!)
The background is so detailed, I kept the rest of this card very simple. I sponged a bit of soft pink on the edges, then stamped the background in gray. I used Stitched Oval Stacklets and Inside Scallop Oval Stacklets to create a frame. A simple pink cross with a gem is the only accent. Here's a closer look at the detail in the background stamp.
Be sure to head over to the TE Blog for a chance at prizes and for more sneak peeks! Then come back tomorrow when I have some squishy hugs and the Words of Faith set that I mentioned fits perfectly in the Petite Petals Background.

ReplyDeleteAll of the crossed are lovely Kim, marvelous cards!
ReplyDeleteYour cards so beautifully showcase these new products! The choice of colours and the layouts are fabulous. These are some of my favourite cards from this release. The lettering on the Iconic - Savior set is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. Love your choice of background dies. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKim, I'm not even going to try to highlight the elements on your cards that have caught my eye: my comment would be novel-length (and I've already walked that path with my previous ones!). Let's say this: I LOVE your Easter cards and if I had these products, I'd be proud to make several 'cases' to donate to my mom's volunteer organization. The essence of Easter, conveyed in a most gorgeous fashion....
