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.

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.

Taylored Expressions Beach-Themed Card

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.

Supplies:

Taylored Expressions Spring Owl Love Card

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a spring-themed love card (appropriate for a variety of recipients) created with a combination of Taylored Expressions stamps and dies.

Taylored Expressions Owl Card

I cut the Shade Tree Cutting Plate from Toffee cardstock and trimmed it to fit inside the frame, which I cut with a die in the Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 set. I placed the Little Bits – Owl in the tree, after adding leaves cut with On a Limb – Leaves from two shades of green cardstock. I don’t typically use a lot of purple in my paper crafting, but I really like how the purple goes with the green.

To ground the scene, I added a strip of grass cut with the Grass Border die. The sentiment is from the Hoot Hoot Hooray stamp & die combo.

My first project features the fun On the Road – Police Cruiser set.

Taylored Expressions May 2017 Release

I placed the assembled police car in a scene created by combining the Dizzy Dots Background and the Gunny Sack Background stamps and a road made with the Build a Scene – On the Road set. To finish, I added a heat-embossed sentiment from the Wee-ooh Wee-ooh set.

My final project is a golf-themed Father’s Day card.

Taylored Expressions May 2017 Release – Day Three Sneak Peeks

Hello! Welcome to Day Three of the Taylored Expressions May Sneak Peeks. This month’s release features a variety of products appropriate for Father’s Day, masculine and little boy projects, and 4th of July!

My first project is a Father’s Day card.

Taylored Expressions May 2017 Release

I cut the Little Bits – Tools from Metallic Neutrals cardstock and other colors (for the handles) adding the assembled tools to a card base on which I stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said – Dad set. I added Block Party – Dad and a frame cut with Frame in Frame Cutting Plate. The card base was dry-embossed with the Plaid folder to reinforce the masculine theme.

My second project is a masculine notecard set showcasing the Gunny Sack Background stamp.

I stamped both Sugar Cube and Toffee cardstock with the Gunny Sack Background stamp, using four different TE ink colors – Pumpkin, Sweet Basil, Blue Corn and Chocolate Truffle. I die cut the Initially M from cardstock in those same colors (twice for each card for extra depth). For the Sugar Cube cards, I paired the initials with different colors than the background colors; the Blue Corn initial with the Pumpkin background, for example. For the Toffee cards, I paired initials with the same colors as the background colors. To package the gift set, I used the Simply Said – Dad with the Noteworthy Belly Band and Clear Card Box.
