Taylored Expressions – Card Maps Sketches

Hello! Today I am sharing two cards created with Taylored Expressions supplies using sketches from Card Maps.

My first card features the Seas the Day stamp set sentiment paired with the Little Bits – Sailboat die cut for a nautical-themed card using a square sketch.

Here is the sketch I used:

For the card base, I stamped the Striped Background with Sprinkles ink on Sugar Cube cardstock. I stamped the Seas the Day sentiment in Blue Corn ink on a square cut from Sugar Cube cardstock. I cut the Little Bits – Sailboat from Cherry Pop, Earl Grey, and Sugar Cube cardstock and assembled it. I cut two squares from Blue Corn cardstock and dry-embossed them with the On the Spot embossing folder for the ocean water. I dry-embossed the Sugar Cube cardstock square on the right with the Cloudy Days embossing folder. I added fish cut with the On the Water – Fishing Boat set from Lemon Meringue cardstock to the water for a bit of color.

Supplies:

My second card combines several different Blooms die sets with a sentiment from the Laurels stamp set.

Here is the horizontal sketch I used:

I stamped the Laurels sentiment in Lollipop ink on Sugar Cube cardstock and cut it with one of the Stitched Circle Stacklets dies. I cut two additional circles with the same die. I cut the flowers with the Mini Bloomers, Mini Bloomers 2, Bloomers 5, and Bloomers 6 die sets from Strawberry Milkshake, Lollipop, and Lemon Meringue cardstock and assembled them. I cut the rectangle panel from patterned paper in the Playful Patterns – Sweet package and added scallop edges cut with the Postage Stamp Edger die from Strawberry Milkshake cardstock. I added the assembled panel to a card base covered with patterned paper from the Playful Patterns – Sweet package.

Taylored Expressions – Introducing Wool Designer Felt

Hello! Today I am sharing a home décor project created with Taylored Expressions supplies including the just introduced 100% Wool Glitter & Foil Felt. Each package includes two pieces of the Glitter & Foil Felt. I cut both of the Berry Patch colors and one of the Candy Shoppe colors with the Roll With It Flower 1 and Flower 2 Mixed Media Dies. I assembled the flowers with hot glue.

For the background, I applied chalk paint through a stencil, purchased as a craft store, on to canvas paper. Once the images were dry, I added the Designer Felt blossoms with hot glue. I used a frame purchased at IKEA for display.

Head on over to the Taylored Expressions blog for more information about the 100% Wool Glitter & Foil Felt!

TE Sunshine Cutting Plate – Two Ways

Hello! Today I am sharing two CAS cards created with the Taylored Expressions Sunshine Cutting Plate. I cut the Sunshine Cutting Plate from Yupo paper which had been colored with alcohol inks in Sunshine Yellow, Watermelon, and Red Pepper. I saved both the positive and negative pieces.

I adhered the positive image on to a Sugar Cube cardstock base.

For the sentiment “sun” I colored Sugar Cube cardstock with Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide ink and stamped the Tropical Trio Stamp & Die Combo sentiment in black ink. I used a circle die to cut the sentiment. I also cut a slightly larger circle from Sugar Cube cardstock and then another larger circle from the cardstock colored with the Spiced Marmalade ink. I added the assembled circles to the cutting plate, popping up the one with the sentiment using foam adhesive.

For the second card, I inlaid the negative pieces into a frame cut from Sugar Cube cardstock.

For the sentiment “sun” I colored Sugar Cube cardstock with Spiced Marmalade and Candied Apple Distress Oxide inks (which is why this sun is slightly darker than the one on the other card) and stamped the Tropical Trio Stamp & Die Combo sentiment in black ink. I used a circle die to cut the sentiment and added it to the frame with foam adhesive.. For a custom match, I created the card base from cardstock colored with Spiced Marmalade and Candied Apple Distress Oxide inks.

Taylored Expressions: Look with your Heart

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Autism-themed card combining a sentiment from the Look with your Heart set with the Little Bits – Puzzle Piece die. Taylored Expressions will be donating 25% of the profits from the sale of every Look with your Heart stamp set to the National Autism Society throughout the month of April.

I cut the Little Bits – Puzzle Piece from TE cardstock in Watermelon, Candy Corn, Lemon Meringue, Lime Zest, Cookie Monster, Jelly Donut, and Lollipop. I assembled the frame and taped it from behind.

I stamped and heat-embossed the Look with your Heart sentiment on Sugar Cube cardstock. I attached the frame of puzzle pieces to an Oreo cardstock base over the sentiment panel.

TE April 2018 Release Day

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions April 2018 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 have several more projects to show you.

My first project showcases the Stitched Frame Stacklets 2 paired with the Little Bits – Butterflies.

Using the Blooming Beautiful Stencil I inked Pink Champagne cardstock with Guava ink which I cut with the largest die in the Frayed Edge Stacklets set. I die-cut the Little Bits – Butterflies from Guava cardstock and used the Stitched Frame Stacklets 2 to frame them. I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Simply Stamped – Wreath set on Confetti Cake cardstock.

Supplies:

My second project combines felt flowers created with the Roll With It Flower 1 and Roll With It Flower 2 mixed media dies.

I cut the flowers from a variety of felt colors – Cotton Candy, Bubblegum, Cherry Blossom, Pink Sherbert – and glued them with hot glue. These felt flowers are a cinch to make! I applied embossing paste to Pink Champagne cardstock, cut with the largest Frayed Edge Stacklets die, through the Blooming Beautiful Stencil. I heat-embossed a Simply Stamped – Wreath sentiment on Sugar Cube cardstock cut with the one of the dies in the Stitched Oval Stacklets set. I used hot glue to glue the felt flowers to the oval and added a few sprigs of greenery cut with the Leafy Branch die.
