Taylored Expressions Double Duty

 

Today is the 22nd and it is Double Duty Day! This is the 65th month, so we are now into our 6th year!  More Doubling Up!

Each month, we get to pick a stamp set from a predetermined company. Then, we will use that one stamp set and make two cards from the set.  Different images and sentiments from the same set can be used, or use the same image two different ways—Double Duty either way!  But, as an added challenge, one item must be used on both cards—same color cardstock, same ribbon, same stencil, same something.  Double Duty Again!  We will post both cards on our blog on the the 22nd of each month.  See-Double Duty again!  We will be sure to have fun getting doubly inky each month with a different stamp company.  Let’s have fun!

For June we are going with Taylored Expressions.  This is probably my favorite company--I love pretty much every item they release!  Lots of bins on my shelves have the name Taylored Expression on the front!

I picked a pretty floral set called Nature's Canvas.  There is a stamp set, matching dies and stencils.  There are not sentiments in the set, so I picked two from my stash.  I ink blending the stamped images with Taylored Expression inks and used the matching die to cut the flowers.  I added some Taylored Expressions Drip Drops on both cards.

For the Thinking of You card, the background is the Taylored Expressions Garden Trellis Embossing Folder.  I added some TE Pearl Drip Drops around the image

For the Thank You card, the background is the Taylored Expressions Rays Piece & Cut Plate.  I added some Magenta Glitter Drip Drops around the card.

Please be sure to check out the other Double Duty cards. Here is a link to Jeanette's,  Darlene’s,  and Terry's blogs. I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of sets of great cards. 

Next month we are going to make a Christmas card, using the image from any company.  So be sure to check out our cards on July 22nd!
