Alpha

Well, I just had to stop and think what month we were in to write the title of this post! Haaaa! Here we are, end of APRIL already!! Which means a new Cardmaking Kit over at Taylored Expressions!!

I know I absolutely say this often, but I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it–this is a GOOD ONE! 😊😊 This is called the Alpha Bits Kit and it is awesome! I love the font TE chose to use for this and I love the size of the letters! I have alpha bit soup still on my desk 🙂

This first card uses lots of goodies in the kit:

Tall Tales Alpha die
Drop Shadow Stencils
Bold Border Background Blocks

I did some masking here to create this one–both for the background stamping and the drop shadow of the stencil. I think it turned out fun! And it was super easy. I used Oyster and Earl Grey and then altered them stamp to stencil.

Of course, the linear edges scream to be stitched, so I listened and did just that. I have PLENTY of letters to make some more of these, so I’m looking forward to that! 🙂

Next up, I had to laugh because I say this all the time.. It’s like a double positive with a negative in there–and then with yes, on the side. 😂 I wasn’t sure if it was a Midwest thing or just a me thing, but Jen Shultz has confirmed that she too says something like this. 🙂 I love being able to personalize cards with fun sentiments!

These letters are cut from Tropical Punch and then stamped with Tropical Punch ink using the Bold Border Background Blocks. One of my other favorite things about this week’s release is the Wavy Stitch Stacklets! And that we can use them alllllllllllllllllll the time now! Eeeeeep!

I couldn’t resist adding in the Simple Strip is from the Simple Strip-Snarky set. Oh my goodness–I still laugh at this one! I hope you get a kick out of it too 🙂
