Taylored Expressions Feb 2018 Release – Rain or Shine

Hello! Welcome to Day 2 of the Taylored Expressions February 2018 Release Sneak Peeks. The spring- and Easter-themed  products will be released Thursday, February 8 @ 7 AM PST!

For my first project, I created an encouragement/friendship card combining die-cuts, new and old, and a fabulous sentiment from Rain or Shine.

I colored Sugar Cube cardstock with a variety of TE inks to create the colors of the rainbow, which I cut with the Rainbow Cutting Plate. I used the Raindrops embossing folder to add texture to panels in the upper-right and lower-left corners. I cut the When It Rains umbrella from Oreo cardstock and inked cardstock. I stamped the Rain or Shine sentiment and then cut it with the one of the Build-a-Scene Rolling Clouds dies. I also added clouds cut with the Stitched Cloud Duo.

For my second project, I created cards with the 3 x 4 Watercolor Panels – Easter set and a decorated envelope.

I watercolored this sweet scene from the set, and added Cookie Monster ink around the edges before attaching the panel to a card base on which I used the Playful Patterns – Sweet patterned paper.

Similarly, I colored the Happy Easter panel to which I added Pretty Pastels sequins for texture.

To create the card base, I stamped Petite Petals background with Lemon Meringue ink on Potato Chip cardstock.

I stamped an envelope with several of the images in the Happy Mail set and colored with colored pencils.

  1. Jean, wow a collection of fabulousness for sure. I love that you embossed raindrops on either side of your rainbow in the first card. They yellow graph paper is a great layer with your aquas. And it’s hard for me not to love a yellow card base, with a super cute envelope.

  2. Jean, FANTASTIC umbrella card! Wonderful use of TE’s crafty goodies to make a lovely card. And your other projects are so lovely and perfect for spring. Thank you for the inspiration. Hugs
