Taylored Expressions - Right as Rain

TE April 2018 Release – Petal Power

Hello! Welcome to Day 2 of the Taylored Expressions April 2018 Release Sneak Peeks. Today, it’s all about the flowers! This month’s products will be released Thursday, April 5 @ 7 AM PDT!

My first project showcases the Rosette Cutting Plate paired with a sentiment from the Plot Twist stamp set and features two of the three new colors in the TE palette – Guava and Confetti Cake!

I started by cutting Sugar Cube cardstock with the Rosette Cutting Plate and cutting the blooms and leaves from Cherry Pop, Guava, Lemon Meringue, and Peapod cardstock. I added the cardstock pieces to the frame and taped the back.

I heat-embossed the Plot Twist sentiment on Confetti Cake cardstock, which I adhered to the back of the assembled Rosette Cutting Plate frame. I created a card base from Cupcake cardstock and added the assembly to the base. For a final touch, I added butterflies cut from Sugar Cube cardstock with the Little Bits – Butterflies die set.

Supplies: (new products will be released April 5)

My second project showcases the Big Blooms – Zinnia set with corresponding dies.

I stamped and heat-embossed the Big Blooms – Zinnia images on Watercolor cardstock and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. While those dried, I stamped the Simply Stamped – Wreath sentiment on Confetti Cake cardstock and heat-embossed it with TE Clear Embossing Powder. I cut the zinnias and leaves with their corresponding dies and added them to the card base.

TE April 2018 Release – Ahoy Matey!

Hello! Welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions April 2018 Release Sneak Peeks. This month’s release is PACKED with products for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Graduations, and Teacher Appreciation along with mini-themes – Little Boy (pirate), Little Girl (unicorn), and florals for Mother’s Day and spring. Mark your calendar – the products will be released Thursday, April 5 @ 7 AM PDT!

Let’s get started! My first card features the Shiver Me Timbers stamp set, which has a coordinating set of dies, the On the Water – Pirate Ship die set and the Stitched Frame Stacklets 2. Oh, and there’s a stencil, too. That’s right – Taylored Expressions now carries stencils!

To begin I applied embossing paste to Sugar Cube cardstock through the Polka Dot stencil. While the panel dried, I stamped and colored the Shiver Me Timbers images (the set contains a wide variety of pirates and their accessories) with Copic markers and cut them with their corresponding dies. I cut a frame with one of the dies in the Stitched Frame Stacklets 2 set to frame the Shiver Me Timbers images. I cut the On the Water – Pirate Ship with a variety of cardstocks and used a larger Stitched Frame Stacklets 2 circle to frame it on the card.

I heat-embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder (Taylored Expressions now carries embossing powders as well!) and cut it with one of the dies in the Banner Stacklets 4 set.

Supplies (new products will be released April 5):

My second card combines a heat-embossed 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 heat-embossed the Look with your Heart sentiment on a Sugar Cube panel cut with the largest die in the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets set. I cut the Little Bits – Puzzle Piece from Watermelon, Granny Smith, Cookie Monster, and Lemon Meringue cardstock. I put the pieces together, taped them on the back to hold them in place, and added the interlocked assembly to the sentiment panel with foam adhesive. The card base is created with Earl Grey cardstock.

Taylored Expressions – You Make Life Sweet

Hello! Today, I am sharing a friendship card created with Taylored Expressions products on which I use the design principle of repetition!

I cut the Little Bits – Cupcake four times from cardstock that I had colored with Taylored Expressions inks in Strawberry Milkshake, Lollipop, and Cookie Monster. I added Distress Stickles to the frosting of the muffins and Nuvo drops to the cherries for texture and shine.

I stamped the Toe-tally Awesome sentiment in Cookie Monster and Lollipop inks on the Misti and then cut it with the Sentiment Stacker 1 die.

For the card base, I used patterned papers from the Hello Happiness and Rainbow Brights packs, and to add texture, I dry-embossed Sugar Cube cardstock with the Lots of Dots embossing folder.

Watercolored TE Birthday Bouquet

Hello! Today, I am sharing a birthday card on which I combined a number of different Taylored Expressions stamp sets.

I stamped and heat-embossed with gold powder the Rosey Posey images on watercolor cardstock. I watercolored the flower petals with Distress Inks. Once dry, I cut the flowers with their corresponding dies. I stamped and heat-embossed flowers and foliage from the Happily Ever After stamp set and cut those with their corresponding dies.

For the background, I stamped the Striped Background with Cookie Monster ink on Cookie Monster cardstock. I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from Simply Stamped – Roses on a Sugar Cube cardstock strip.

Taylored Expressions February 2018 Release Day

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions February 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 spring- and Easter-themed projects to show you.

My first project features the Floral Frame Cutting Plate paired with the Floral Frenzy stamps and dies.

I cut the plate and colored it with inks in various colors, masking pieces of the frame as I worked (including the outside edge). I stamped the Floral Frenzy sentiment and cut it out with the Floral Frame Cutting Plate so that it would fit inside the center. I added a few Floral Frenzy blooms and foliage cut with the Mini Bloomers and Bloomers Greenery die sets.

Supplies:

I created two CAS cards with the Quick Critters – Spring Stamp & Die Combo using the same design for both.

The card bases are patterned paper from the Playful Patterns – Sweet pack. I used the Cloud Nine Background to create the sky behind the animals, cutting it and the Build a Scene – Grassy Hills with one of the Egg Stacklets dies to reinforce the Easter theme.

I dry-embossed the Potato Chip cardstock rectangle with the Flower Power embossing folder.

I heat-embossed the sentiments on Lollipop cardstock and used one of the dies in the Banner Stacklets 1 set to cut them out.
