TE June 2017 Release Sneak Peeks Day One – Anchors Away!

Hello! Welcome to Day One of the Taylored Expressions June Sneak Peeks. This month’s release features wonderful stamps and dies for your summer projects! Today, we’re on the seas with nautical-themed cards. Mark you calendar, the June 2017 Release will be in the store on Thursday, June 8 @ 7 AM PST!

For my first card I created a CAS tongue-in-cheek scene with die-cuts to accompany the sentiment from Seas the Day (a fabulous set of nautical-themed sentiments)!

The background was stamped with the Striped Background stamp (one I will use again and again!) in Salt Water Taffy. I stamped the sentiment on top with the Cherry Pop ink.

For my second project, I created a nautical-themed birthday card combining On the Water – Sailboat and the Sunshine Cutting Plate with a sentiment from Seas the Day.

If you’ve followed my blog, you know my favorite color combination is red, white, and blue! I had a lot of fun picking out the colors with which to craft the On the Water – Sailboat.

Penny Black – Same CAS Design, Two Cards

Hello! Today, I’m sharing two cards with the same design featuring the Penny Black 51-232 Layered Scene die set.

For the first card, I cut the scene from two different cardstock colors, backed the scene with a soft blue, and added the assembly to a white card base on which I stamped one of the sentiments included in the 30-418 Stitched Flowers set. I matched the ink color to the soft brown in the scene.

For the second card, I chose brighter/more saturated colors and added the assembled scene to a dry-embossed card base.

I cut the sentiment with a die in the 51-284 Filled With Love set. (I cut the sentiment three times and glued the pieces together for extra depth.)

All of the colored cardstock is from Stampin’ Up. I’ve got a package of almost every color, as well as a lot of retired colors!

 

Your Wave Is Waiting – CAS Taylored Expressions Beach-Themed Card

Hello! With Memorial Day just around the corner (the weekend that heralds the beginning of summer), I’ve been busy making summer-themed cards. Headed to the beach or thinking about the beach? My CAS card combines summer/beach-themed products from Taylored Expressions.

I used the inlaid die-cutting technique with the Build a Scene – Rolling Waves and the Summer Sunnies sunglasses. The sentiment from Big Kahuna fit the theme perfectly. I took my cue for the colors from the patterned paper in TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Double the Joy.

I couldn’t resist adding the Little Bits – Flip Flops (I’m pretty sure this is my most used Taylored Expressions product ever) and a flower created with the Mini Bloomers 2 set.

Penny Black Simplicity – It’s the Little Things

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a bright CAS card, suited for a variety of occasions, featuring a combination of Penny Black dies.

I cut the sentiment with the 51-340 Dream Big die several times for additional depth. I cut the fish with the 51-314 Fancy Fish die from a variety of cardstock colors. I used an embossing folder for the waves peeking out through the hole.

Taylored Expressions CAS Mother’s Day Card

Hello! I’m sharing a CAS Mother’s Day card created with Taylored Expressions products.

Not only CAS, this card was quick to make. I stamped the Notable Blooms Background with Sugar Cube ink on Lollipop cardstock and cut it with a die in the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets set. I cut the letters with the Initially M and Initially O dies from Sugar Cube cardstock and foam (for additional depth).
