Hello! Welcome to Day 3 of the Taylored Expressions April 2018 Release Sneak Peeks. Both of my projects today are focused on Mom. By the way, the products I have been sneaking will be released tomorrow – Thursday, April 5 @ 7 AM PDT!
My first project today is a CAS Mother’s Day card featuring the Caps Lock – Mom die set with the Caps Lock Companion – Mom/Dad stamp set.
I stamped the background with the Color Me Background stamp on Sugar Cube cardstock and colored it with Copic markers and colored pencils. I stamped the background again and did not color it. I cut the Caps Lock – Mom from both backgrounds and popped the uncolored letters up on the colored background with foam adhesive. I cut out the colored background with the largest Stitched Rectangle Stacklets die. I added Oreo cardstock behind the cutouts on the colored background.
I heat-embossed the “Thankful for You” on Oreo cardstock with the TE white embossing powder and cut the sentiment with the smallest Double-ended Flag Stacklets die. For the card base, I dry-embossed Confetti Cake cardstock with the Weathered embossing folder.
Supplies: (new products will be released April 5)
My second project today is a CAS Mother’s Day card featuring the Choosy Moms stamp set and Little Bits – Wine dies.
To create the background, I colored Sugar Cube cardstock with Plum Punch ink and cut the panel with the Hole Punch Cutting Plate.
I die-cut the wine bottle and glasses with the Little Bits – Wine set from cardstock which I had adhered with Window Acetate to give the pieces shine like glass. I created a frame, cut from Gold Foil cardstock with one of the dies in the Stitched Frame Stacklets 2 set, for the gold heat-embossed Choosy Moms sentiment.

Thanks for visiting! On the TE Blog you will see more projects and product information, as well as a complete list of participating designers.
I have a question about your card with the flowers for the new release. How are you doing the partial cut on that row of flowers.
Hi Shelley, I’m not sure which card you mean? If it’s the one on the TE blog, that’s a die specifically designed to cut just the top of the floral image. Let me know if that’s the one to which you’re referring.
These are AWESOME!! I love the way you die cut the mom and left it black and white on the first card. The second card just makes me laugh!! LOVE the sentiment!
i like the diecut being black and white what a wonderful twist on a spotlight technique.
