Taylored Expressions September Release Spotlights: Spider Web Cutting Plate and Candy Monster

11:00 AM 1 Comments

Hello!  Today is Taylored Expressions Spotlight day and the final day of release week, but the Birthday Bash will continue all month long with something special each week in September!  All of the new products are available NOW in the What's New Section of the TE store:)


We also have another party game for you to play along with today!  Today's game is Guess the Number, and you can find the details on how to play on Taylor's blog HERE!

I decided to make two projects today, because I just couldn't resist playing with all of these fabulous goodies!


First up I have a treat box using this super fun and adorable new set Candy Monster with Coordinating Dies!  I just love this guy and I thought it would be appropriate to make a milk carton treat box with that fun sentiment:)  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics. I used the new Halloween Project Pantry Kit for my dp and ribbon, and stamped the sentiment onto a Banner Stacklets 1 Die.  Here is a close up:




Next up I have a card made with a couple of the new dies:


I used the new Spider Web Cutting Plate which is just fabulous, and the new The Witch Is In die set~so much fun!  I also decided to add this cute little spider (do those words really go together?) and sentiment from the set Halloween Doodles.  The paper is once again from the Halloween Project Pantry Kit~LOVE!

Taylored Expressions September Release Day~Party Banner Cutting Plate!

11:00 AM 3 Comments



Today is the BIG DAY!  It's Release Day!  And it is TE's actual birthday! Happy Birthday, Taylored Expressions!!!  Fun fact… our very first release was on September 5th 5 years ago. So fitting that we’re turning 5 on the 5th!  You can find all of the new products in the What's New section of the TE store now!

We also have another fun party game for you to play along with! Today's game is What's Different? and you can find the details on how to play HERE on Taylor's blog:)  Here's my card:


You may notice some new dies on my card:)  I used the fabulous new Party Banner Cutting Plate along with the new Party Banner Border Die~aren't they so much FUN!

I just love that the cutting plate leaves the opening so you can pretty much put whatever image or sentiment that you would like in there.  Today I chose to use this adorable cupcake from the TE set You Take the Cake.  I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.  I also used a sentiment from that set and cut it out with the new Bloomin' Stacklets 1 Dies. The dp I used is Doodlebug Fruit Stand.


Here are my supplies:

Taylored Expressions September Sneak Peek: Owl-O-Ween and From Me to You

11:00 AM 11 Comments


Hello!  I'm back with some more fabulous sneak peeks of some of the Taylored Expressions products that will be available tomorrow at 8:00 am PST! We are also celebrating TE's 5th birthday this month, and we have some fun party games for you to play along with!


Today's game is I-Spy and you can see all of the details on how to play HERE on Taylor's blog:)


My first project is a DARLING new Halloween set called Owl-O-Ween with Coordinating Dies!  I'm a huge fan of the TE set Hoot Hoot Hooray, so to have a Halloween version is awesome!  I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copics.  I cut them out with the coordinating dies and added some clouds that I cut with the Build a Scene Swirly Clouds Dies.  The paper is from the Halloween Project Pantry Kit:


Here's a close up:


Next I have a card featuring the promotional stamp/die set From Me to You. This is a free gift with purchase!  Orders of $50 or more (before tax and shipping) qualifies you to receive the petite stamp set and die combo From Me to You (a $17 value).  This offer is good through September 15th or while supplies last.  One free set per customer.


Here is my card:


I stamped the fabulous frame and cut it out with the coordinating die.  I then stamped the "thank you" sentiment inside and sponged around the frame with Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink.  The butterfly is from the set Butterfly Parade and I also used the coordinating Butterfly in the Sky Dies.  The pretty dp is Doodlebug Happy Harvest and this amazing layout is The Deconstructed Sketch #115. I also used the Banner Stacklets 1 Dies for the flags at the bottom.

Taylored Expressions September Sneak Peek: Birthday Treat Toppers and Big Bold Birthday!

11:00 AM 12 Comments

Hello!  We have a very special release this month at Taylored Expressions because TE is celebrating it's 5TH BIRTHDAY~WooHoo!  What does this mean?  Well, we have some super fun party games that you can play along with every day this week for your chance to win TE gift certificates!  All of the new release products will be available on Thursday, September 5th:)


For my first project today, I used some FABULOUS new dies that I'm so excited about!!!


I made the toppers using the new Birthday Treat Toppers dies!  LOVE THEM!!! These were so quick and easy to make, and don't they look amazing? I just cut the images out with different colors of cs, layered them over a white circle, and then layered that over a scalloped circle that I cut with my Totally Tags Die. I attached them onto some Doodlebug Pixies~again, LOVE!

 For the base, I used the new Cupcake Wrap Die!  This die is so cool, because it cuts a slot and a hook, so you don't need any adhesive to close them!  My daughter is going to be 9 next month, so this was a trial run for her birthday cupcakes:)  I used the Poster Graphic #'s Dies to cut out the 9 in the center cupcake. I just love how they came out, and she did too!

For my second project I played along with today's party game~Tic Tac Toe!

All you have to do to play along, is choose 3 in a row and create a card!  You can find the full details on Taylor's blog HERE!

I chose to Use Rhinestones, Make a Birthday Card, and Use Ribbon:



 I made a couple of CAS birthday cards using the new set Big Bold Birthday and the new Bracket Notecard Die-such a great shape!  I added some ribbon (and baker's twine shhh) and a little rhinestone to the dots of the i's.  The dp I used is Doodlebug Fruit Stand.  


Make sure you check out the rest of the Baker's Dozen blogs for more sneak peeks today, and have fun playing along with the Tic Tac Toe game!  Thanks for stopping by:)
