TE April 2018 Release Day

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions April 2018 Release! All of the products that we have been sharing this week are now available in the TE store! Before you head off to shop, I have several more projects to show you.

My first project showcases the Stitched Frame Stacklets 2 paired with the Little Bits – Butterflies.

TE April 2018 Release

Using the Blooming Beautiful Stencil I inked Pink Champagne cardstock with Guava ink which I cut with the largest die in the Frayed Edge Stacklets set. I die-cut the Little Bits – Butterflies from Guava cardstock and used the Stitched Frame Stacklets 2 to frame them. I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Simply Stamped – Wreath set on Confetti Cake cardstock.

My second project combines felt flowers created with the Roll With It Flower 1 and Roll With It Flower 2 mixed media dies.

TE April 2018 Release

I cut the flowers from a variety of felt colors – Cotton Candy, BubblegumCherry BlossomPink Sherbert – and glued them with hot glue. These felt flowers are a cinch to make! I applied embossing paste to Pink Champagne cardstock, cut with the largest Frayed Edge Stacklets die, through the Blooming Beautiful Stencil. I heat-embossed a Simply Stamped – Wreath sentiment on Sugar Cube  cardstock cut with the one of the dies in the Stitched Oval Stacklets set. I used hot glue to glue the felt flowers to the oval and added a few sprigs of greenery cut with the Leafy Branch die.

TE April 2018 Release – Ahoy Matey!

Hello! Welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions April 2018 Release Sneak Peeks. This month’s release is PACKED with products for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Graduations, and Teacher Appreciation along with mini-themes – Little Boy (pirate), Little Girl (unicorn), and florals for Mother’s Day and spring. Mark your calendar – the products will be released Thursday, April 5 @ 7 AM PDT!

Let’s get started! My first card features the Shiver Me Timbers stamp set, which has a coordinating set of dies, the On the Water – Pirate Ship die set and the Stitched Frame Stacklets 2. Oh, and there’s a stencil, too. That’s right – Taylored Expressions now carries stencils!

TE April 2018 Release

To begin I applied embossing paste to Sugar Cube cardstock through the Polka Dot stencil. While the panel dried, I stamped and colored the Shiver Me Timbers images (the set contains a wide variety of pirates and their accessories) with Copic markers and cut them with their corresponding dies. I cut a frame with one of the dies in the Stitched Frame Stacklets 2 set to frame the Shiver Me Timbers images. I cut the On the Water – Pirate Ship with a variety of cardstocks and used a larger Stitched Frame Stacklets 2 circle to frame it on the card.

I heat-embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder (Taylored Expressions now carries embossing powders as well!) and cut it with one of the dies in the Banner Stacklets 4 set.

Supplies (new products will be released April 5):

My second card combines a heat-embossed sentiment from the Look with your Heart set with the Little Bits – Puzzle Piece die. Taylored Expressions will be donating 25% of the profits from the sale of every Look with Your Heart stamp set to the National Autism Society throughout the month of April.

TE April 2018 Release

I heat-embossed the Look with your Heart sentiment on a Sugar Cube panel cut with the largest die in the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets set. I cut the Little Bits – Puzzle Piece from WatermelonGranny Smith, Cookie Monster, and Lemon Meringue cardstock. I put the pieces together, taped them on the back to hold them in place, and added the interlocked assembly to the sentiment panel with foam adhesive. The card base is created with Earl Grey cardstock.

Simon Says Stamp – Happy Easter

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS Easter card featuring a background created with the Simon Says Stamp Folk Dance Stencil paired with the Oh Bunny set.

Simon Says Stamp - Happy Easter

I dry-embossed light blue cardstock with the Folk Dance Stencil using the sandwich that Shari Carroll describes in this video. I stamped the bunnies and cut them out with their corresponding dies. I had the bunnies left over from the Oh Bunny stamp set projects shown in this post. I added 5mm white pom poms to the tails of the bunnies facing backwards.

Happy Easter!

Simon Says Stamp Folk Dance Stencil

Today, I’m sharing a CAS card featuring a background created with the Simon Says Stamp Folk Dance Stencil.

I applied embossing paste through the stencil on to Lawn Fawn Chili Pepper cardstock. While the embossing paste dried, I heat-embossed one of the sentiments in the Simon Says Stamp Choose Joy set (there are lovely images in this set as well, which I haven’t gotten around to using on a card) on to a white cardstock strip.

I’m looking forward to using this stencil again; I like its detail and pattern.

 

My Favorite Things – Hey, Honey Bunny

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a bunny-themed card created with the My Favorite Things Beach Bunnies set. The set is not Easter-themed, but I couldn’t resist using the set now that it’s spring and Easter is around the corner.

My Favorite Things - Hey, Honey Bunny

I stamped the bunny and beach hut images and colored them with Copic markers. I created the background with the Radiating Rays stencil using Squeezed Lemonade ink. I cut the hill from retired Memory Box paper (Latte) using one of the dies in the Snow Drifts die set.
