Taylored Expressions is releasing the first kit of 2023 today–and it is appropriately COFFEE!! And tea and all the good things in a mug!
This kit is called Perk Up Cardmaking Kit and it is perky! โโโ
First up, I had to use the cute faces and of course, add some eyes… just one set. I kept myself in check. ๐ For this I used the Cup of Joe die collection. This is fun because you can have the handles go either way.ย

The little face stamp is from the Clearly Crafty Hug in a Mug stamp set. Both of these are included in the kit.
Next up, I used the Perk Up! Stamp & Stencil Combo set to create this card. I inked up the panel and trimmed it down a little bit. I added all the little elements with the Clearly Crafty Hug in a Mug stamp set again. The Simple Strip is from the new Simple Strips โ Coffee stamp. This set can be purchased in addition to the kit.ย

For this, I used Cupcake, Dijon, Mushroom and Poblano Pepper Inks. I don’t know how I got to the color combo, but I have to say, I am surprised at how much I like it now! ๐

This sentiment cracks me UP! I think this is often true… especially when I travel, and I don’t have the same creamer we use at home. ๐
I added the strip of Cupcake cardstock on there to finish off the two panels and added a panel cut with the Petite Scallop Rectangle Stacklet on the bottom after cutting this panel withย ADDITIONAL A2 LAYER STACKLETS. Too fun–such a fun kit!
.And don’t forget the envelope seals! ๐
