Taylored Expressions September Sneak Peeks: Halloween Treat Toppers and Think Happy Thoughts

10:00 AM 3 Comments

Hello! It's Day 2 of peeks from Taylored Expressions, and all of the new products, including the new Embossing Folders, Patterned Paper, and Cardstock will be available on Thursday, September 11th at 7 AM PST!

 For my first project today I made some Halloween treat cartons. I put my cartons together using some Sugar Cube, Peapod, Candy Corn, Oreo, and Lemon Meringue Cardstock. The box itself is a Silhouette file called Ribbon Tie Favor Box Bracket. I decorated them with some new TE dp called Hocus Pocus and the new Halloween Treat Topper Dies!



I stamped the sentiment from the new stamp set Critters in Costume onto a Tag Stacklets 1 Die. Super quick and easy and they look fabulous!


My next card features a special Incentive Set that we will be offering for this release! To celebrate our 6th year, we've designed a special party favor, Think Happy Thoughts. This petite stamp set includes a very "happy" coordinating die and will be FREE with orders over $50 beginning on September 11th - September 21st. One free set per customer, while supplies last.

 I made a very simple CAS card. I started by embossing the card base with another new TE Embossing Folder called Harlequin. I used some Double the Fun dp that we introduced yesterday for my fishtail and cut it with a Banner Stacklets 1 Die. I used the TE Label Stacklets 1 Dies for the main panel and cut them out of Sugar Cube and Lollipop cs. The "Happy" was cut out of Cookie Monster cs and I stamped the word "Everything" from the Think Happy Thoughts stamp set underneath. Finally I added some Double the Fun Sequins to finish it off.

 Remember, we are also offering up a HUGE prize! How would you like to win a $250 Gift Certificate!!! Visit the TE Blog HERE for a fun sketch challenge that you can participate in for your chance to win!

Taylored Expressions September Sneak Peeks: And Many More and Little Bits Party Hat

10:00 AM 6 Comments

Hello! It's Release Week at Taylored Expressions and all of the new products will be available on Thursday, September 11th at 7 AM PST!

This month is Extra special because it's TE's 6th Birthday!!!  To celebrate, along with new stamps and dies, we are releasing our very own line of Patterned Paper and coordinating Cardstock, as well as our own Embossing Folders! Trust me, you are going to LOVE them!!!

I have a couple of fun birthday themed projects to share with you today, and the first one uses a new stamp set called And Many More:


I used the darling penguin image from the set, stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. I sponged a cloud bg using the TE Cloud Border Die. See the embossing on the yellow panel? That was done with the new TE Zig Zag Embossing Folder! These folders ROCK because they are a nice big size- 4.5" x 5.75" so you can emboss an entire card front if you'd like:) 

I also used some new TE Patterned Paper!!! The paper pack I used is called Double the Fun and I also used some fabulous new TE Cardstock. The orange is Candy Corn, the yellow is Lemon Meringue, and the green is Peapod. Finally, I added the confetti and candle using the new Little Bits Confetti and Candle Dies.


Next up is a fun little tag set I made using the TE Tag Stacklets 1 Dies along with the new Little Bits Party Hat Dies. I added some embossing to the hats using the new TE Lots of Dots Embossing Folder and stamped the sentiment from the new set Party Grumplings onto a Banner Stacklets 1 Die. I used the TE Double the Fun Paper Pack once again along with some Jelly Donut (purple), Lollipop (dark pink), and Peapod (green) cs.

We are also offering up a HUGE prize! How would you like to win a $250 Gift Certificate!!! Visit the TE Blog HERE for a fun sketch challenge that you can participate in for your chance to win!

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday!

12:00 AM 0 Comments

Hello! It's the first Friday in September which means we have a new sketch and new inspiration picture for you to play along with at Your Next Stamp!



I used the fabulous sketch today and this is what I came up with:


I just put out a lot of my fall decor around the house, so I'm in a fall kind of mood:)  I chose to use this adorable image Ellie Loves Sunflowers. I paired it with some Echo Park Simple Life dp and added a few Sparkly White Gumdrops. I used a Fishtail/Banner Die for the sentiment and added the heart that I cut with a YNS Whatnot Seasons Set One Die.

You can see more inspirational DT projects on the YNS Challenge Blog and also read how you can play along!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous Friday:)
