TE March Release Day: Pull Up a Chair – Let’s Chat!

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions March 2016 Release! All of the products that we have been peeking this week are now available in the TE store, HERE! Before you head off to shop, I have one more project to show you featuring the Build a Scene – Bistro die.

Taylored Expressions March 2016 Release

I’m a huge fan of the Build-a-Scene die sets, and I’ve combined parts from three sets that are included in this month’s release – Build a Scene – Bistro, Build a Scene – Nursery and Build a Scene – Window. I cut the rug from Build a Scene – Nursery in one color, (although it’s designed in a manner that would allow three different colors). I dressed the windows with patterned paper curtains. (I used previously-released TE patterned paper. I thought the scene called for some polka dots!)

I heat-embossed a sentiment from Sit & Chat that I cut with the Stitched Banner Stacklets (cutting a banner and then cutting again to make a rectangle).

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you’d like to see more projects and new product information, head over to the TE Blog for a complete blog roll of our participating designers!

TE Sneak Peeks: Let’s Go Wild! + Shake It Up

Welcome to Day 3 of the Taylored Expressions March Sneak Peeks! Today, I’m sharing a child’s birthday card and a “Welcome Baby” shaker card. The March products will be released tomorrow – Thursday, March 3 @ 7 AM PST!

For my first card, I heat-embossed a menagerie from the Hippo Birdy set on patterned paper and cut the animals with the Hippo Birdy Dies that are part of the March release.

I added a ground to the card with cardstock that I dry-embossed with the Houndstooth embossing folder. I die cut the heat-embossed sentiment with one of the Stitched Banner Stacklets dies.

For my second card, I created a “Welcome Baby” card with the Baby Bottle Shaker die.

Taylored Expressions March 2016 Release

The die makes it possible to cut a bottle frame (by cutting two dies at once), as well as the full bottle piece. I cut the frame from cardstock, as well as from foam. From the front of the bottle down to the card base, I have a cardstock frame, a full bottle piece of acrylic, a foam bottle frame and a full bottle cardstock back. I used Hello Happiness sequins (I selected sequins from the collection that fit my card colors). I added the rocking horse and teddy bear, cut with two of the new Little Bits sets (using just the outline of the Little Bits without their details).

TE Sneak Peeks: Feeling Lucky?

Welcome to Day 2 of the Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks – I’ve got a St. Paddy’s Day card and Easter treat toppers to share! The March products will be released Thursday, March 3 @ 7 AM PST!

Feeling lucky? My first project features the Lucky Charms Stamp & Die Combo paired with the Let’s Talk Bubble 3, perfectly sized to work with the Let’s Talk Sentiments.

Taylored Expressions March 2016 Release

I paper-pieced the Leprechaun and stamped the “good luck” sentiment in the Let’s Talk Bubble 3. I added texture to the hill with the Houndstooth embossing folder.

My second project showcases the Tag Stacklets 3 dies – designed to work with a variety of Taylored Expressions products (sized so that the Roly Poly products can be added to the tag shape, Beauty Lies Within, Away in a Manger, and all of the Treat Topper dies). Since Easter is around the corner I used the Easter Treat Toppers.

Taylored Expressions March 2016 Release

I cut the Easter Treat Toppers from a variety of spring colors and added them to the tags. Super fast and easy!

TE Sneak Peeks: Bridezilla is Getting Hitched

Welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions March Sneak Peeks – I’m sharing two wedding-themed projects! The March products will be released Thursday, March 3 @ 7 AM PST!

My first project features Mr. & Mrs. Grumplings – the happiest bride and groom ever (kidding!).

Taylored Expressions March 2016 Release

I stamped and Copic-colored the bride and groom. After cutting them with their corresponding dies, I added the pair to a panel of white Woodgrain Textured cardstock. I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it with one of the Stitched Banner Stacklets dies (I cut twice to make a rectangle, rather than a banner). I added the Mr. & Mrs. – Congrats Banners (cut from white shimmer cardstock in the Premium Cardstock – Metallic Neutrals pack). The woodgrain card panel was adhered to a panel which had been dry-embossed with the Houndstooth embossing folder.

Supplies for Mr. & Mrs. Grumplings (items in Bold will be released March 3):

Mr. Grumpling has to have a ring for Mrs. Grumpling, right? My next card features the Little Bits – Wedding Ring die.

Taylored Expressions March 2016 Release

I cut the ring from gold cardstock (included in the Premium Cardstock – Metallic Neutrals pack) and the stone from white shimmer cardstock, (also included in the pack). I heat-embossed a sentiment from Happily Ever After on the card base and placed the rings around the sentiment.

Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #24

I’m playing along with Share Joy Challenge #24 at Taylored Expressions.TEChallenge24

I created a spring-themed CAS card with Taylored Expressions die cuts:

Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #24

The focal point of the card is the sweet In the Garden scene framed with Picture Perfect – Sunny Days. I couldn’t resist adding a bird cut with the Little Bits – Birds set. I dry-embossed the card base with the Flower Power embossing folder.
