Taylored Expressions - Right as Rain

Taylored Expressions Feb 2018 Release – Bunny Hop

Hello! Welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions February 2018 Release Sneak Peeks. This spring- and Easter-themed release is filled with new goodies! Mark the date – the products will be released Thursday, February 8 @ 7 AM PST!

My first card features the Block Party – Bunnies die paired with the Little Bits – Marshmallow Bunny die and a sentiment from the Squishy Hugs set.

I cut the Block Party – Bunnies three times to create a panel on to which I added the bunnies cut with the Little Bits – Marshmallow Bunny die. I cut a frame with a die in the Frame in Frame Cutting Plate set to cover the edges. I heat-embossed the fun Squishy Hugs sentiment and added it to the bottom of the frame. The card base was covered with one of the fun patterns in the new patterned paper package Playful Patterns – Sweet.

Supplies:

My second project today uses the Bunny Pop die to dress up lip balm. I have several variations. Let’s take a look!

My first version shows the simplest way to use the die for lipbalm packaging. I simply cut the bunnies out of colored cardstock and the scallop piece from Sugar Cube cardstock.

You can also stamp cardstock with a background stamp, which I did with Happy Flowers, or dry-emboss the cardstock, as I did with the On the Spot folder.

I also used the Playful Patterns – Sweet patterned paper to create the bunnies.

Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the Quick Critters – Spring Stamp & Die Combo to show how easy it is to add a sentiment.

Supplies:

Taylored Expressions – Friendship Die-cut Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS friendship card, right for any season, featuring die-cut fish from the Roly Poly – Fish set paired with a sentiment from Roly Poly Sentiments.

To begin, I stamped the card base with Cookie Monster ink with the Striped Background. I die-cut the Roly Poly – Fish from Potato Chip and Candy Corn cardstock. The sentiment was heat-embossed on a square panel, to which I added the porthole, cut with dies in the Stitched Circle Stacklets set, and the fish. Thanks for visiting today!

Taylored Expressions – Die-cut Forest Critters

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card featuring die-cut forest critters from Taylored Expressions – the Little Bits – Raccoon and the Little Bits – Fox.

I paired the two critters against snow-covered Grassy Hills. I usually use the Rolling Hills die for snow, but I used these dies to add a little texture to the scene. I stamped the Gunny Sack Background with Salt Water Taffy ink on Cookie Monster cardstock for the card base. The frame was cut from Watermelon cardstock with the combination of the largest Stitched Rectangle Stacklets die and one of the Inside Scallop Rectangle Stacklets dies.

I heat-embossed the Friendly Phrases sentiment and cut it with one of the Double-ended Flag Stacklets.

Supplies:

Taylored Expressions – Bee Mine! – Die-cut Valentine

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Valentine which showcases the Taylored Expressions Roly Poly – Bee die set.

I stamped the Brushed Hearts background with Strawberry Milkshake ink on Strawberry Milkshake cardstock (for a tone-one-tone look) and then stamped the sentiment from Simply Said – Valentine in Oreo ink. To reinforce the Valentine’s Day theme, I added hearts cut with Little Bits – Hearts, including some for the bee’s cheeks!

Supplies: Taylored Expressions Roly Poly – Bee die set, Simply Said – Valentine stamp set, Brushed Hearts Background stamp, Little Bits – Hearts die set, Stitched Circle Stacklets die set, Oreo, Strawberry Milkshake, Cherry Pop, Lemon Meringue, Sugar Cube cardstock, Strawberry Milkshake, Oreo ink

Taylored Expressions – Die-cut Bistro Scene

Hello! Happy 2018! Today, I am taking a break from winter-themed cards and sharing a friendship card which showcases the Taylored Expressions Build a Scene – Bistro die set.

I created the café scene with Build a Scene – Bistro, Build a Scene – Window and the Window Awning die sets. I stamped the Sit & Chat sentiment on a strip of cardstock used to ground the scene. I enjoy creating scene cards, especially ones into which I would like to jump!
