Welcome to Day One of the Taylored Expressions May 2016 Sneak Peeks! The May products will be released Thursday, May 5 @ 7 AM PST! Today’s projects feature products celebrating and honoring Dads and Teachers.
My first project is a Father’s Day card crafted with the Whole Wide World die and Best in the World stamp set.
For masculine cards, I like to use shades of brown and navy blue. I used the MISTI to stamp the sentiments from the Best in the World set (I used two different stamps; the set offers the ability to easily personalize your sentiments for the men in your life). I cut the globe with the Whole Wide World die set in a variety of colors (including a brown from the Woodgrain Textured Cardstock Pack) and added the assembled pieces to the stamped panel, finishing off the card front with a cardstock strip, which I dry-embossed with the Know the Ropes folder (providing subtle texture).

One of this month’s big items is the new Tagging Along die set, with which I created this gift tote. There are so many occasions coming up this season for which this tote could be used – graduation, engagement parties, teacher appreciation, …
While creating my tote, I envisioned an engagement party using a Tiffany Blue-like cardstock for the front panel. I stamped a sentiment from Toe-tally Awesome and cut the cardstock with the largest die in the Tag Stacklets 1 set (specifically sized to go with the Tagging Along die). The gift tote was cut from silver cardstock, which is included in the Metallic Neutrals pack.
I finished the front panel off with a nail polish bottle cut with the Little Bits – Nail Polish set.

These cards are wonderful! Took me a minute to figure out what the nail polish brush was, but once it hit me, I like it! The tote is a great idea. Love the tags. The card you created for the Father’s Day would’ve been good for my Dad when he was alive, but I’d need a world with WV roads on it… He was constantly traveling from one panhandle to the next!
Super cute “Tiffany” inspired box Jean!
The toe had me wondering for a second, but then the nail polish did it. Love both projects.
