TAYLORED EXPRESSIONS MAY SPOTLIGHTS - BIRCH TREE BORDER & BIRCH TREE ACCESSORIES

Hey there, whew...what an exciting week of awesome projects from the Baker's Dozen, huh?  The May release is now available in the Fresh out of the Oven section of the Taylored Expressions store.  Go check it out!  Hubby and I both have the day off, so we thought we would go for a drive and pick up our hanging baskets for the house.  It's 1 1/2 hours one way...but they always have beautiful flowers to choose from at great prices...totally worth the drive!

Before I go, I thought I would share one last card made with dies from the new release.  I'm in love with the Birch Tree Border die!  It's an easy way to make a masculine card and I've got a bunch of guy birthdays coming up so this die couldn't have come at a better time!  Even better...the Birch Tree Accessories!  Those guy birthdays I was just talking about...a bunch of them are hunters so I think they will really get a kick out of these cards.  To make this moonlit night card, a layer of Sweet Plum was sponged over the entire card stock before a negative mask (1 1/4" circle punch) was placed over the moon area.  Elderberry and London Fog were lightly sponged onto the moon.  The negative mask was removed and the punched circle was placed directly over the moon and Elderberry was sponged around the moon and the outsides of the card stock.  The die cuts were adhered over the sponged panel...that's all there is to it!  Easy peasy!
