Taylored Expressions November Release Preview – Flowers for a Year Notecards

Hi everyone! I’m back today with more samples using Taylored Expressions‘ newest releases available Thursday, November 3rd. Today the team is sharing a variety of note cards, perfect for gift-giving this holiday season (or for your own use)! 🙂

My cards feature new Flowers for a Year stamp set with coordinating dies as well as new Herringbone embossing folder. Flowers For a Year includes twelve floral images and sentiments, perfect for notecards and/or calendars.

All images were colored with Copic markers.

For my mother-in-law (planning ahead!), I created a birthday card using the cactus with a sentiment stamped onto a Banner Stacklets 1 die-cut.

I placed a Kool Tak clear foam square beneath the top of the cactus to balance the layers.

Next, I used the scalloped frame and tiny butterflies from new Build a Scene Calendar 2 to frame the daisies.

I adhered the butterflies in the center only so that the edges could each tip up just a bit.

Here I raised the sunflowers on clear foam squares and framed again with the scallops.

To add just a bit of interest, I adhered a tiny brown pearl onto the jar.

Lastly, I adhered the geraniums (I think they’re geraniums?) using clear foam squares, allowing the flowers to extend past the scalloped frame edge.

Instead of coloring in the small circles on the band around the vase/wood bucket, I adhered three tiny brown pearls.

To create quick and easy coordinating envelopes, I stamped each image using Versamark then heat embossed using a variety of embossing powders. (Also available in the TE store are kraft, white and cream A2 envelopes as well as clear card boxes.)
