TE August 2018 Release Sneak Peeks – Scary and Sweet

Hello and welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions August 2018 Release Sneak Peeks. The new release features Halloween and fall-themed stamps, dies, and other supplies including stencils, patterned paper, and two new TE colors! Today, my projects have a Halloween focus. The August 2018 release products being sneaked this week will be available Thursday, August 2 @ 7 AM PDT!

My first projects showcase the Under Wraps – Vampire and Under Wraps – Ghost sets. These sets are a fun way to package Halloween candy!

I stamped the faces from the the Under Wraps – Vampire set and then die-cut the body, adding the die-cut hair and shoes (too cute!) The set includes a die to cut a strip in to which you can slip the candy.

Similarly, for the ghosts, I stamped the faces from the Under Wraps – Ghost set and cut the bodies with the die.

Supplies:

Who doesn’t like to receive fun mail?! My second project is a Halloween card created with the Bubble Greetings – Halloween set and a Mail Art envelope stamped with the Spooky Mail set.

I heat-embossed the Bubble Greetings-Halloween on Sugar Cube cardstock. I heat-embossed the stamp again on Playful Patterns – Haunted patterned papers, which I fussy-cut and adhered to the panel.
I added a frame cut from Oreo cardstock with the Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 set.
I created a card base with paper in the Playful Patterns – Black & White set to which I added my panel.
To add sparkle and color, I adhered Build a Scene Halloween Sequins to the panel.
I stamped the Spooky Mail images on to a Toffee envelope and colored the images with colored pencil.
To dress up the envelope, I cut a liner from the Playful Patterns – Haunted patterned paper with the Scalloped Envelope Liner.

Taylored Expressions – CAS Friendship card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, summer-themed, friendship card created with Taylored Expressions products.

My card combines the watermelons cut with the Little Bits – Watermelon die set with a sentiment from the Punny Man 2 stamp set.

To make the card:

I die-cut the watermelons from Guava, Pink Champagne, Oreo, and Lime Zest cardstock.
I created a card base with the Weathered Embossing Folder from Sugar Cube cardstock.
I cut a rectangle from the Hello Happiness paper pack and a circle frame from Pink Champagne cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment in Oreo ink on Sugar Cube cardstock. I adhered the stamped panel behind the circle frame.

Supplies:

Super Hero DAD – TE Father’s Day Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing one more Father’s Day card created with Taylored Expressions products. I combined the My Super Hero Stamp & Die Combo set with the Caps Lock – Dad die to create a Super Hero DAD card.

Before stamping the Twinkle Twinkle Background in Earl Grey ink, I put down a small strip of masking paper on the Sugar Cube cardstock where I wanted to add my sentiment.

The Super Hero figure was colored with Copic markers to match the red/yellow/black/grey color scheme. I used the Label Stacklets 10 set to create the background under the Caps Locks – Dad letters.

TE CAS Patriotic Card – Freshly Made Sketches 340

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS patriotic card created with Taylored Expressions products that I am entering into the Freshly Made Sketches 340 challenge.

To create the card:

I die-cut the Caps Lock – USA (Sugar Cube cardstock) and the two stars (Cherry Pop and Blue Corn cardstock).
I did a repeat stamping in Blue Corn ink of one of the phrases in the TE Land of the Free set on Sugar Cube cardstock, which I matted with TE patterned paper, to go behind the die-cuts.
I dry-embossed the Sprinkles cardstock card base with the Fireworks folder.
I assembled the pieces, popping up the USA with foam adhesive.
