Only Hearts Can Build A Home

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a card created with Taylored Expressions dies and stamps.

TE Home Sweet Home

Last week, I shared a 3-D house created with the Home Sweet Home set. I used the same die to create a house die-cut, simply by trimming off the tabs from the die-cut shape (to build the 3-D house, you cut the shape twice and add a roof). I used the Home Sweet Home Accessories to add the trim, flower boxes and foliage.

I stamped one part of the sentiment from There’s No Place Like Home on the front and the other half inside the card!

I was recently on the Taylored Expressions blog with an ombré ink technique card – I hope you’ll head on over and take a look!

Taylored Expressions March 2017 Release

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions March 2017 Release! All of the products that we have been sharing this week on projects are now available in the TE store!

Before you head off to shop, I’ve got two more projects to share! My first card showcases the new Sitting Pretty set.

TE March 2017 Release

The Mini Caps Alpha & #’s fit perfectly inside this set’s frames. I created a birthday card with the set, using the age of “29” since that’s an age many people say they are (after passing that age!).

My final card combines Little Bits – House with a sentiment from There’s No Place Like Home for a CAS card which could be used for a number of occasions.

When I stamped “HOME” I masked the “O” with a sticky note. I used a card base dry-embossed with the Subway Tiles embossing folder for texture.TE March 2017 Release

Hello! Welcome to Day Three of the Taylored Expressions March Sneak Peeks. Products from this release will be in the store tomorrow – Thursday, March 9 @ 7 AM PST! Today, I’m sharing two fun and unique 3-D projects.

My first project showcases the imaginative Matchbox.

Taylored Expressions March 2017 Release

I used the Matchy Matchy stamp set with coordinating dies to create the box decorations (colored with Copic Markers) for a birthday surprise. There are so many options for these – use simply like a greeting or include a surprise in the box!

Supplies (items in bold will be released March 9):

I crafted my Home Sweet Home in red and accessorized it for spring with the Home Sweet Home Accessories!

I cut the house base (in two sections) and added the windows, window boxes and door before I assembled it 3-D. To add some texture, I dry-embossed the roof with the Subway Tiles embossing folder.

Welcome Home – Taylored Expressions March 2017 Release Day Two

Hello! Welcome to Day Two of the Taylored Expressions March Sneak Peeks. This month’s products will be released Thursday, March 9 @ 7 AM PST!

My first card showcases the Little Bits – Cottage die in a CAS Welcome Home card.

TE March 2017 Release

Isn’t this a sweet cottage?! I added die-cut grass and flowers behind the cottage using the Home Sweet Home Accessories set along with the Build a Scene – Farm Fence. To create the background, I applied ink with one of the Clarity Stencil Brushes through a cardstock stencil I created with the Ray of Sunshine Cutting Plate. I added a sentiment from the There’s No Place Like Home set.

I’m sharing another home-themed card – this one combines a number of products in the March 2017 release with the previously released Eventful – In the Kitchen.

TE March 2017 Release

I imagined a subway-tiled kitchen, created with the Subway Tiles embossing folder. I accessorized with the Sitting Pretty Accessories and Sitting Pretty sets – my imaginary scene makes me want to incorporate more plants into my in real life kitchen. The There’s No Place Like Home sentiment was head embossed on the cardstock cut with the Eventful – In the Kitchen die. I used a Stitched Heart Stacklets to cover up the “O” in “HOME”.

Happy Home – TE March 2017 Release Sneak Peeks Day One

Hello! Welcome to Day One of the Taylored Expressions March Sneak Peeks. The products we are sneaking this week, suitable for a variety of occasions, will be released Thursday, March 9, 2017 @ 7 AM PST!

Today, I’m sharing cards combining die cuts and sentiments. This month’s released is packed with fabulous and creative dies!

TE March 2017 Release

My first card features the Sitting Pretty Accessories resting on the shelf in the Sitting Pretty set. I used a sentiment from Flowers for a Year which I stamped on a rectangle cut with a die in the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets set. I dry-embossed the card base with the Woodgrain embossing folder.

TE March 2017 Release

My second card features another one of this month’s fun and unique die sets – Spin Cycle!

TE March 2017 Release

Although my washing machine is white, I’ve long admired red washing machines and dryers (and they are on my dream home list). Given that papercrafting is one way in which I create my dream world, I decided to make a red washing machine! I paired the assembled machine with a heat-embossed sentiment from Spin Cycle Sentiments and accessories from Little Bits – Laundry Basket, Little Bits – Clothing Confetti and Sitting Pretty. There are a lot of possibilities with this set, and you’ll see a number of interpretations from the design team.
