Taylored Expressions September Release Day: P is for Party!


Hello! It's Release Day at Taylored Expressions which means that all of the new products are available NOW in the TE Store!

I have a couple more cards to share with you today using the new products, and the first uses the new B is for Birthday Stamp Set along with the Free Fall Background Stamp and the new Number Balloons Dies and Balloon Strings Dies!

I started by stamping my P is for Party sentiment onto Sugar Cube cs using Oreo Ink. I colored the image with Copic Markers, then stamped it again onto another piece of paper and cut it out to use as a mask. After masking my image, I used the Free Fall Background Stamp and some Sprinkles Ink to stamp the bg.

I framed the image with a frame cut out of Lollipop cs using a Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 Die and cut the banner using the Party Banner Border Die and some dp from the 6x6 Rainbow Brights  Paper Pack. I added the balloons using the new Number Balloons Dies and some Cookie Monster cs. The strings were cut out of Poppy Seed cs using the new Balloons Strings Dies. Finally, I added some Sequins and the Sprinkles cs card base and it was complete!





For my next project, I used the fab new Curly Q Cutting Plate-LOVE!!! as well as the Iconic Wishes-Birthday Stamp & Die Combo which is a FREE gift with $50 purchase!


I started by stamping the top of my cupcake with Pink Champagne Ink and the bottom with Mint Julep Ink. I cut them out with the included dies. I then stamped the cherry portion of the cupcake with Oreo Ink, colored it with a Copic Marker, and cut it out so I could add my cherry to the top.

For the background I used some dp from the Hello Happiness 6x6 Paper Pack. I then cut the streamers using the Curly Q Cutting Plate and some Cookie Monster cs. I popped my cupcake up with Foam Tape over the streamers and then framed the image with a frame cut out of Salt Water Taffy cs using a Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 Die once again:) I added the Sequins to finish it off.



Don't forget about the party favor! For a limited time, when you spend $50 or more at the TE Web Store, you’ll earn this super sweet Iconic Wishes - Birthday Stamp & Die combo FREE!

Taylored Expressions September Sneak Peeks: Big Thanks!


Hello again! It's Day 3 of sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions, and we are rounding out our 9th birthday celebration by having a little fun with a scavenger hunt!

And don't forget, today's the last day to enter our 9th birthday sketch challenge for your chance to win Taylor's Favorite Things or an opportunity to be the next Guest Designer at TE. Click HERE for all the details!

For my first peek today, I used the GORGEOUS new Big Blooms-Daisy Stamp Set! I am LOVING the new large floral images! I stamped the daisy and leaves with Oreo Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I hand cut the images out. For the base I simply used some Sugar Cube cs and some Toffee cs embossed with the Burlap Embossing Folder. I sponged around the embossed panel with Toffee Ink and then popped my flower up with Foam Tape over it.

I added the sentiment cut with the new Thanks Script Die out of Mocha cs. To finish it off I added some Lemon Meringue Enamel Shapes. So beautiful!





For my second project, I used the new Laurels Stamp Set along with the 9th Birthday Sketch to make a pretty birthday card. This set is so perfect for making card sets!




To start, I stamped the leaves with Mint Julep Ink and using the Mini Misti Tool to align, I stamped the birthday sentiment with Mocha Ink. I cut the leaves and sentiment out with a Stitched Circle Stacklets Die and sponged around the edges with Cupcake Ink. I then layered that over another circle cut with Sprinkles cs.

I used dp from the Hello Happiness 6x6 Paper Pack for the rest of my layers and to finish it off I added some Lollipop Enamel Shapes. Such a quick and easy card!
