Rainbows & Elephants: Taylored Expressions January 2017 Release

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions January 2017 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’ve got two more projects to share! My first showcases the Rainbow Cutting Plate.

TE Jan 2017 Release

I love bright colors! To create the rainbow, I used the die to cut the frame from Sugar Cube cardstock and then from each of the rainbow colors. As I cut each color, I added the arcs to the frame from the back and secured the pieces with tape. I stamped the sentiment and cut it with the larger die in the Stitched Cloud Duo set. To finish out the scene, I added boots and an umbrella, as well as a background created with this release’s Cloud Nine Background stamp.

My final project combines Let’s Talk Edger 3  with the Hello Script die.

TE Jan 2017 Release

The Let’s Talk Edger 3  is open-ended, making it possible to cut any number of different talk bubbles. I cut the “hello” from cardstock, as well as from foam, adhering the two together for a little extra depth. I added the sentiment from Give me a Sign. The Elephant Parade was added to a background dry-embossed with the Kaleidoscope folder.

Hello & Wish Big! – Taylored Expressions January 2017 Release

Hello! Welcome to Day One of the Taylored Expressions January Sneak Peeks. Mark your calendar, the January products will be released Thursday, January 12 @ 7 AM PST!

Both of my cards today feature new Stamp & Die Combo sets. Let’s start with a happy and bright “Hello” featuring the Bloomin’ Birthday Stamp & Die Combo.

I paired the stamped flowers and sentiment with a few die cut elements. The stems were stamped directly on the card base. I staggered the stems for visual interest. The Grass Border adds color and texture.

Supplies (items in bold will be released January 12):

For my second project, I’m sharing a birthday card created with the Wish Big Stamp & Die Combo.

TE Jan 2017 Release

I stamped the balloon strings and the “BiG” part of the sentiment directly on the card base. I cut the stamped balloons with the Party Time die set. The “wish” was stamped and colored with Copic markers, then cut with its companion die. To finish off the card, I added a frame and stars cut from silver cardstock in the Metallic Neutrals pack.

Taylored Expressions Door to Door Collection – Welcome 2017!

Happy New Year and a big welcome to 2017! I’m sharing a card created with Taylored Expressions dies.

I’ve just read on a blog post by Melissa Michaels of The Inspired Room that one’s front door tells a story. With that in mind, here’s the front door of a happy home! (Right now it’s cold and snowy here in the Pacific Northwest, but I’m thinking about a sunnier day!)

TE Welcome 2017

For my scene, I combined a number of the die sets in the Door to Door collection.
