Hi everyone and welcome to day one of the Taylored Expressions sneak peeks! Today the Baker's Dozen is featuring the newest set in the Taylored Expressions Giving Tree Program, You're My Hero! This set is inspired by and in honor of Darrin Zimmerman - Taylor's 10 year next door neighbor who passed away last fall from cancer. It the newest set in the Whimsical Wishes line and was designed by the totally talented Nancy McKinney! Taylor will donate $7.00 from the sale of each set from the month's of March through May to CureSearch. You can read more about Darrin's story on Taylor's Blog. This set and the coordinating Rockstar Key Ingredients Kit will be available for purchase on Friday March 5th at 8:00 am.
This set is perfect for the tweeny boppers in your life! I LOVE it for my girls because being 8 and almost 11, they are so into music! My oldest is learning to play the guitar and is being taught by her 19 year old cousin, Ashley. Ashley just celebrated her 19th birthday at the end of last week so Lauren (my DD) really wanted me to make her a birthday card using this set!
I wanted something sort of funky and well, 19ish! I broke out the new Rockstar Key Ingredients Kit and got to work! This new KI Kit works perfectly with this new set! All of the cardstock, DP (We R Memory Keepers Teen Angst), Ribbon, Brads & Metal Sheet come from the Rockstar Key Ingredients Kit. The stars were cut out with Star Nestabilities and I embossed the metal sheet star with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I added some crazy black stitching and the sentiment was cut out with the Ribbon Tag Trio 2 by Spellbinders. I really love how this card turned out! I'm sure Ashley will love it!
Don't forget to check out what the rest of the Baker's Dozen has done with this set!
