Love Grows Here

It’s time for another Taylored Expressions Cart Kit, and I have NO SHELF-CONTROL! It’s actually true. One of my other hobbies is keeping a collection of heirloom Christmas cactus I’ve collected from my grandmothers and great-grandmother live and thriving. My great-grandmother passed away in 1993, and one of her daughter’s gave me a start about 6-7 years ago. I love my cacti!

This Love Grows Here Cardmaking Kit though… it’s the cutest collection of stencils and dies you have ever seen to create the plants and pots in an easy blend-and-slide set that makes the creation easy to execute. Then there is a cute sentiment stamp and die set with some really punny sayings. It’s all bundled up in one perfect little kit! It speaks to me!

I loved this sentiment, no shelf control! And I thought it would be adorable paired with the Big Circles Background. Just stacks and stacks of lush, pretty green peeking out of the planter holes!

The awesome thing about the die in this collection is that it’s a stamp once, cut once for six different images product. So, mass production or shelf-control is quick and easy. I’ve created a few different color combos of succulents here. I have Avocado and Sweet Basil ink for a muted look, and then I have a brighter combo created with Granny Smith and Kiwi inks. I’ve used the Milky Gel Pen to add white accents to a few of my plants and blooms.

Confetti Cake cardstock cut with the Big Circles Background makes the perfect stage. Behind the circles, I’ve embossed the cardstock with the Dotted Diamonds Embossing Folder for subtle tone-on-tone texture.

In my second sample, I used a square masking stencil to create a frame for my potted plants with Confetti Cake ink. I splattered my square with Dr. ph Martins Bleed Proof White. Then I use one of the detail stamps included in the kit to create a little cross-stitch landing. Isn’t this the cutest sentiment, have an un-be-leaf-able birthday! LOL

I used the Diagnol Stitched Rectangle Stacklets and the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets to givec my layers of Sugar Cube cardstock a little extra oomph. I finished everything off with a few white Tiny Diamonds.

When I’m sending my cards out, there is the cutest little collection of Love Grows Here envelope seals to go with the kit. They are not included in the kit, so don’t miss the add. Super cute!
