Hi everyone! I hope you’ve enjoyed the Taylored Expressions‘ February release previews over the last several days. You can find everything, now available, HERE. Before you head over to the TE store, I have two more samples to share.

My first card uses new You’re in My Prayers and Spring Florals stamp sets along with new Ornate Frame Cutting Plate, Prayers Script die and Spring Florals dies. I think they all work beautifully together.

The flowers and leaves were stamped in Potato Chip, Lavender Glaze and Granny Smith inks, with Prayers and cutting plate cut from Toffee card stock. I truly love the Prayers Script. 🙂

Once assembled, I added a handful of Sugar Cube enamel shapes.

Next, I used new Bloomin’ Background, So Very Blessed stamp set and Blessed Script.

Bloomin’ Background was stamped onto Toffee card stock with Sugar Cube ink then white embossed and colored with Copic markers.

Copic markers – R83, RV55, Y15, YG05, YR04

To achieve a perfect color match for the Blessed die, I die-cut the word from Toffee card stock then colored with the same Copic markers I used on the red flowers.

Hi everyone! It’s Day 3 of Taylored Expressions‘ February release previews! All new products will be available for purchase tomorrow at 7. a.m. PDT (10 a.m. EST).

Today I am sharing my favorite (of my samples). I absolutely adore this new Peek-a-Boo Easter set. Along with the coordinating dies, I also used new Little Bits Pocket.

How sweet is that lamb? I love him/her.

Copic markers – E40, E41, E42, E43, R20, Y23, Colorless Blender

After die-cutting the pocket from Sugar Cube card stock, I colored the pieces with Copic markers then lightly pressed over with a scrap of fabric saturated with Copic’s Colorless Blender.

I used Peek-a-boo Easter once again along with new TE Enamel Shapes.

I lightly blended a bit of Salt Water Taffy ink in the center, then used an Egg Stacklets die as a guide for placing the heart enamel shapes.

I very lightly traced around the die, adhered the hearts then erased the pencil line.

Lastly,  I used new Spring Grumplings. We have lots of spring allergies here so I especially like the Sneezin’s Greetings sentiment.

 I used Build a Scene Trees, the sun from Build a Calendar, flowers from Little Bits Easter Confetti and a Stitched Rectangle Stacklet.

Copic markers – BG10, E18, E31, E33, E35, R27, RV14, Y18, Y38, YG07, YR18

Poor critter.  🙂

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a couple more cards using Taylored Expressions‘ February 9 release products.

My first card uses previousy released Faith in Bloom stamp set with new Faith in Bloom coordinating dies.

I first created a watercolor background using Scattered Straw, Cracked Pistachio and Worn Lipstick distress inks.

Copic markers – BG32, C1, C2, R81, R83, R85, Y11, Y32, YR23

I then stamped the flowers and colored with Copic markers. The sentiment was stamped in Sugar Cube ink onto Oreo card stock and white embossed.

Next, I used My Redeemer Lives with a corresponding die.

I stamped the cross and sentiment in beautiful Delicata Gold Glitz ink. No embossing is necessary. It’s shiny and just lovely on its own.

In the background I used new Redeemer Embossing Folder.  (The gold card stock peeking out on the left and right sides of the embossed panel is from Michaels.)

I’ll be back tomorrow with my more previews from Taylored Expressions’ February release! (Tomorrow’s previews are my favorite!) Thanks for visiting!

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first day of Taylored Expressions‘ February 9 release previews! Today I’m sharing two cards. My first uses lovely new Spring Florals with coordinating dies.

I stamped the flowers in Lavender Glaze and Strawberry Milkshake inks with the wreath stamped in Granny Smith ink. In the flower centers I placed new Taylored Expressions Enamel Shapes.

I’m excited about these shapes for several reasons. There are currently 12 colors, all of which perfectly match TE card stock. Each set includes various sizes of dots, hearts and stars. The shapes add just the perfect amount of dimension without being “too” round or thick.  🙂

Once my wreath was assembled, I wrapped a bit of gold twine then adhered over card stock embossed with Brick Embossing Folder.

Next, I used new Bloomin’ Background with a sentiment from Simply Said – Spring.

I first stamped the background using Cupcake ink then colored with Copic markers.

Copic markers – E51, E53, E55, G24, G43, R000, R00, Y00, Y32, YG61, W00, W1

The sentiment was stamped using Pink Champagne ink  with the panel adhered to a Pink Champagne card base.

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve enjoyed the design team previews of Taylored Expressions‘ January release this week! You can find everything, now available, HERE. Before you head over to the TE store, I have two more samples to share.

My first card uses new Wish Big stamp and die combo. I stamped the balloons in Lemon Meringue, Strawberry Milkshake and Cookie Monster dye inks. “Happy” was stamped in Oreo hybrid ink then colored with Copic markers.

I wanted the balloon strings to extend long enough to place the “happy” die-cut over so I did a tricky little extension. Using the die-cut “happy” as a guide, I stamped the top/straight portion of the balloon strings beneath the balloons. Then I inked the bottom portion of the string and stamped, carefully aligning with the previously stamped strings, and leaving a gap to be covered with the “happy” die-cut. Noone will ever know there’s a break in the line beneath the popped up word. 🙂

“Birthday” was stamped in Sugar Cube pigment ink onto Oreo card stock then white embossed. Lastly, I sprinkled some Little Bits Confetti.

Next, I’ve used new Exercise Grumplings (and coordinating die) with my favorite sentiment from the set.  Haha!

I blended a bit of Sprinkles ink as a background then layered the Stitched Clouds with a Little Bits Sun and grass from Build a Scene Calendar 5×7.

Copic markers – BG11, R02, R02, R24, R81, R83, R85, W00, W2, W3, W4, YG03, YG05, YG09

That sentiment is so funny. It sounds exactly like something I would say. (Run, I do not.)
