Celebrating Milestones

Welcome to Day 3 of the Taylored Expressions April 2016 Sneak Peeks! The April products will be released tomorrow – Thursday, April 7 @ 7 AM PST!

This month’s products include stamps and dies geared towards milestones such as graduations – whether from preschool or college. My first card would work for a number of occasions, as it celebrates the beginning of an adventure.

I paired Sky High – Kites die cuts with the Sky High Sentiments and added a small kite cut with the Little Bits – Kite set. The Sky High – Kites die cuts the overlays and the backgrounds, along with the tails. I colored cardstock with Distress Inks for the kite backgrounds, but they could be cut from colored cardstock just as easily.

My second project was created with my youngest son in mind, as he graduates from college in June. That’s him in the grad lineup highlighted with gold cardstock! He’s saying “hooray!” as are we!

I cut the silhouette of graduates from Chalkstock cardstock with the Eventful – Graduation Border. I also cut the lineup with the Eventful – Graduation Border from gold cardstock and then cut off the single grad, adhering him to the border with liquid adhesive. I gold-embossed the Eventful – Graduation sentiment and cut it with the Little Bits – Let’s Talk Bubble 2 die. This would be an easy design to customize to school colors.
