Hey there, and welcome to the September Taylored Expressions SOTM Blog Hop! I'm sure you're enjoying the crafty goodness that you've seen so far, and there is more to see. Every month the Key Ingredients DT and the Baker's Dozen join up for a blog hop to give you some inspiration using the latest Stamp of the Month that Taylored Expressions offers.
September's SOTM is called Sending Smiles and it has a matching dies set called This Way to Smiles, which is sold separately. I am so excited about them, that I can't seem to put them down. I literally get giddy at the idea of how well the stamp set, dies, and papers from the Key Ingredients Kit matches! Speaking of papers, this Monty's KI kit has the We R Memory Keepers 6 x 6 papers called Chalkboard...eeeeee!

I went with something a little different this month and decided to make a Joy Fold Card. I'm not sure why it's called that, but it certainly brought joy to my face when I made it ;) As you can see from my picture of it's inside, that it opens a bit differently than a traditional card. That's sorta fun. When I close the card, my small panel tucks nicely under my Copic colored flowers on the outside of the card.

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU Pool Party, SU Calypso Coral, SU Lucky Limeade, SU River Rock
