Hi there! Once a month half of the Baker's Dozen Design Team features a product sold in the Taylored Expressions store. This month we are showing you different ways to use the coolest product....Metal Squares! They are sold in sets of 8 4x4 sheets of aluminum, copper, or a mix of both! All Metal Squares are 15% off now through March 28th!
I paired the aluminum metal sheets with the newly released set from the Taylored Expressions Giving Tree Program, You're My Hero, and the Rockstar Key Ingredients Kit. After choosing my dp (WeRMemory Keepers Teen Angst) I found the aluminum metal sheet to be a perfect match to the silver stripe in the dp. I die cut two metal sheet stars using the Nested Star by Spellbinders. I then embossed both stars with the Swiss Dots embossing folder using my Cuttlebug. I stamped the guitar from You're My Hero in Memento Tuxedo Black, cut it out and popped it up on dimensionals. I added a little bit of Baby Blue Copic Spica Glitter Pen to the tuning buttons at the top of the neck of the guitar. The You ROCK sentiment was stamped in Enchanted Evening ink onto the patterned paper. I felt the card needed a bit more, so I took a little more of the aluminum metal sheet and cut some scallops using the the medium scallop die from Papertrey. A little "wonkie" black stitching and the cool black ribbon and I called it done!
Don't forget to check out what the rest of the Baker's Dozen did with these metal squares:

Outstanding card, I love that it is so perfect for a teenager and those can be very challenging to create, especially a Teen boy
