Easter Blessings – Taylored Expressions February 2017 Sneak Peeks Day Two

Hello! Welcome to Day Two of the Taylored Expressions February Sneak Peeks. The Spring and Easter products being sneaked will be released Thursday, February 9 @ 7 AM PST!

My first project features the You’re in my Prayers stamp set.

TE Feb 2017 Release

I combined the stamped sentiment (there are several options on the set) with a floral bouquet created with Spring Florals and Bloomin’ Birthday Stamp & Die Combo. I used Lemon Meringue Enamel Shapes for the flower centers. (At the end of this post, I have information on a promotion of the Enamel Shapes.)

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

My Easter card combines the Little Bits – Crosses set with a sentiment from He Is Risen.

TE Feb 2017 Release

I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment. I colored the dry-embossed background with ink using the largest brush in the Clarity Stencil Brushes set. I framed the card with frames created using the Ornate Frame Cutting Plate.

Welcome Spring! – Taylored Expressions Feb 2017 Release Sneak Peeks Day One

Hello! Welcome to Day One of the Taylored Expressions February Sneak Peeks. This release is all about Easter and Spring! (As I write, there is snow falling outside and a winter weather advisory in effect – I’m ready for some warmer weather!) The products we are sneaking will be released Thursday, February 9 @ 7 AM PST!

My first card is a watercolored panel stamped with the Bloomin’ Background and a sentiment from Simply Said – Spring.

TE Feb 2017 Release

I stamped the background and sentiment on TE Premium Watercolor Cardstock and colored the image with watercolors in the Kuretake Gansai Tambi – 24 set. It was so relaxing to color in this image and I look forward to a change of seasons!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays – I like the holiday’s motifs and colors. This Easter card showcases the Skinny Mini Spring Borders.

TE February 2017 Release

This card uses a variety of Taylored Expressions dies. I created the sentiment with Easter Wishes Banner, part of the February 2017 release, and the Happy Summer Banner. I added Enamel Shapes to the bunny and flower borders. Be sure to check out the promotion for the Enamel Shapes included below.

Penny Black Simplicity – Be Mine

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS Valentine created with the Penny Black die set 51-180 All My Hearts.

PB Simplicity Be Mine

I used the die set, which includes five detailed hearts and a solid heart, to cut the hearts from a variety of color cardstock. I adhered the overlays to the solid hearts with liquid adhesive and attached the assembled hearts to colored cardstock squares with foam adhesive.

I’m also over on the Penny Black Simplicity blog today with another die-cut Valentine! Hope you’ll head on over and take a look!

Taylored Expressions – February 2017 Calendar

Hello! Today, I’m sharing my February 2017 calendar created with Taylored Expressions supplies.

TE February 2017 Calendar

As it is cold and overcast here in the Pacific Northwest, this colorful floral image from the Flowers for a Year set makes me especially happy!
I colored the image with Copic markers and colored pencils, pairing it with elements cut from patterned paper in my stash with the Build a Scene – Calendar 2 set.

Penny Black Simplicity – Filled with Love

Hello! Today I’m sharing a CAS Valentine created with Penny Black supplies. This cat image makes me smile!

PB Simplicity Valentine

I stamped the cat image, from the 30-271 Share A Hug stamp set, on watercolor paper and colored it with a variety of mediums, including watercolors and watercolor pencils. I also painted a strip of watercolor paper with paint, and once dry, I die-cut the strip with one of the dies in the 51-284 Filled With Love set. I added the sentiment to the image with foam adhesive.
