Our Key Ingredients Subscription is ready to ship to subscribers tomorrow! Those of you who have subscribed are already enjoying the benefits that come along with your subscription, including a 10% discount + free shipping on anything from the Taylored Expressions store! And I have good news… if you want to get in on the fun you can subscribe at any time! If you purchase your three or six month subscription before April 25th, your shipments will begin with our April Key Ingredients kit.

Here’s just some of what you’ll LOVE about your Key Ingredients Subscription:

º Tons of creativity in a box! Everything you need to make at least 16 cards (including 6×6 patterned papers, 8.5 x 11 cardstock, ribbon, and various embellishments) in a different color palette each month. The subscription kits will coordinate well with the TE stamp sets, but you can also use them with the many other stamp sets you own. Simply add the stamps, ink and adhesive to cook up a batch of coordinating cards.

º Key Ingredients savings
Regular KI price = $16.95 per kit
3 month Subscription price = $15.95 per kit + shipping
6 month Subscription price = $14.95 per kit + shipping

º You get them FIRST! These kits will debut in the store on the 20th of each month, but they will be shipped out to our Subscribers on the 15th, so in most cases you’ll have the product in your hands before anyone else even sees it!

º Monthly Challenge. Each month there will be a KI Subscriber’s Challenge included in your kit and you will have until the 25th of that month to upload your card and link it back to my blog to be entered into the monthly prize drawing. Of course playing is totally optional, but we just can’t wait to see what you come up with!

º Baker’s Dozen Samples. Each month when the KI’s are debuted on the 20th, half of the Baker’s Dozen will share a creation they’ve made with elements from the KI Subscription kit so you’ll have plenty of project inspiration!

º Storage. Subscriber kits will come in a plastic storage case. This $3.00 value is a FREE and exclusive benefit to Subscribers only. Non-subscribers purchasing the kits on regular orders will receive their Key Ingredients in the acetate envelopes they’ve always been packaged in. The plastic storage cases will not be available for separate purchase in the store for at least the first 6 months of our subscription program.

º Store Discount. Subscribers will be given a special discount code to save 10% on any order placed between the 10th – 14th of the month to be combined with your KI Subscription auto-ship.

Today I have a little sneak peek creation to show you using elements from the April 20th Key Ingredients Subscription! I love the bright fun colors of the patterned paper included in the kit. I started with Beate’s weekend sketch (created by Laurie Schmidlin) and the June calendar image from A Year of Sweets 2. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol and a stump. Then I added some red Liquid Pearls to the cherries and some Tiny Twinkle flowers. The sentiment is from A Year of Sweet Sentiments. I cut out the image using my new Labels 3 die and outlined half of the image with Clear Crystal Strips. To finish it off I added a little bow and a big Prima daisy in the corner.

I have one more announcement to share today! From now until Sunday, anyone who places an order that includes a 6 month KI Subscription will receive our 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon bundle FREE. The bundle includes a selection of 12 different colors of this must-have for every ribbon collection (a $12.60 value!). There is no coupon code necessary to receive this deal. It will be automatically included in your shipment of the April Key Ingredients! If you’re still looking for a little more information on our subscription service, check out the KI Subscription items in the store for all of the teeny details. And stay tuned tomorrow when I’ll be debuting the full April KI kit. Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful day!
