Taylored Expressions – Happy Father’s Day

Hello! With June just around the corner, I figured it was time to start in on Father’s Day projects. Today, I am sharing a CAS Father’s Day card featuring Taylored Expressions supplies.

Here’s how I made the card:

I stamped the Cutting Edge – Stars Stamp & Die Combo image on Sugar Cube cardstock and colored it with Copic markers.
I die-cut the stamped and colored panel.
I die-cut the Caps Lock – Dad from Blue Corn cardstock. I also die-cut the letters from foam.
I heat-embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder on Candy Corn cardstock, which I cut with one of the Double-ended Flag Stacklets dies.
I dry-embossed Sprinkles cardstock with the Lots of Stars folder for the card base background.
I added the Caps Lock – Dad letters, (to which I adhered the foam letters for dimension), and the sentiment strip to the card front.
I attached the card front to the card base.

Taylored Expressions – Cactus Die-Cuts

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, Southwest-themed, apology card combining a variety of Taylored Expressions supplies.

Here’s how I created the card: I cut Sugar Cube cardstock with the largest die in the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets and applied Dreamweaver Embossing Paste through the Chevron Arrow Stencil. I set the panel with wet embossing paste aside to dry. I cut the cactus and their containers with dies in the Sitting Pretty Accessories set from Sugar Cube cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers. I like the look that coloring with Copic markers gives to die-cuts, especially for the variation it provides. I assembled the plants and containers.

I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from the Lookin’ Sharp Stamp & Die Combo set on Poppy Seed cardstock with TE Fine Detail White Embossing Powder. Once the stenciled panel was dry, I added the sentiment and cacti to the panel with foam adhesive. The card base was created from Toffee cardstock.

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.
