Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends,

Mother's Day is around the corner, like Sunday! And get ready for this, Father's Day is quickly approaching, too! Time to head into the craft room and create a few amazing cards for the occasion. Today's card features Inky Fingers-Monsters and just in time for Father's Day.


This was a quick card to make, and it was fun involving me little ones in its creation. I die cut a Sugar Cube panel using the Frayed Edge Stacklets. I stamped the sentiment "Happy Father's Day..." using Oreo dye ink and stamped four little monsters around the sentiment. The little monsters' bodies are my boys' fingerprints, which I them embellished using Copic markers, colored pencils and Copic Opaque White. To add a little visual interest, I used a ruler and Copic Multiliner to draw a partial geometric border around the sentiment.


Thank you for stopping by. For more inspiration from the Creative Team and information regarding the new mini-release products, visit the Taylored Expressions Blog (HERE). Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Crafting,

Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends,

Today, I am sharing a funny Father's Day card. This card is perfect for my husband, who is forever slaying spiders for our eight year old. It doesn't matter place or time, you can hear our youngest calling, "Daddy, there is a spider. Please come take care of it!" And a few seconds later, my husband goes in search of the unwanted guest. This card is a tribute to my husband and his heroics for our son.


To create this card, I used Oreo dye ink to stencil a partial spiderweb onto Sugar Cube cardstock. I then stamped, Copic-colored and die cut the cute little monster hiding behind the Caps Lock-Dad, which is die cut from Blue Raspberry cardstock. The Sitting Pretty Halloween Accessories provide the perfect accents, spiders and spiderweb, both are die cut from Oreo cardstock. A sentiment completes this card.


Thank you for stopping by! Don't forget to visit the Taylored Expressions store (HERE) for a little something extra for you...I mean the dads in your life.

Happy Crafting,

What Is A Dad?

A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,

shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail...
