Taylored Expressions September Sneak Peeks: Dino-mite Birthday!

10:00 AM 0 Comments

Hello! We are super excited to celebrate Taylored Expressions 9th birthday this month-Happy Birthday TE!!! We have lots of fun birthday themed goodies this month as well as some fall themed products:) All of the new products will be available on Thursday, September 7th at 7AM PDT!

For my first project today, I used an adorable new stamp set called Peek-a-Boo Birthday, along with the fab new Free Fall Background Stamp. I chose this adorable little dinosaur for my card and stamped him with Oreo Ink. I colored him with Copic markers and cut him out with the coordinating Peek-a-Boo Birthday Die. I also cut some balloons using the Little Bits Balloons Dies, and added the balloon strings using the new Balloon Strings Dies.

For the background, I used the Free Fall Background Stamp and some Candy Corn Ink to stamp my confetti onto some Sugar Cube cs. I then framed that with a frame cut using a Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 Die and some Cookie Monster cs. I then layered that frame with some Candy Corn cs. The sentiment was cut out with a Stitched Banner Stacklets Die and I colored in the "DINO-MITE" with a Copic Marker. The Sugar Cube background was embossed with the Take a Number Embossing Folder and I used Peapod cs for the base.





For my next card I used the super fun new Sweet Tooth Shaker Dies along with the new Happy Script Die:


I started by putting my shaker together using Strawberry Milkshake, Chocolate Truffle, and Sprinkles cs, along with some Foam Tape and some Window Acetate. I used the Little Bits Celebration Confetti Die to cut my shaker filling out of Cherry Pop, Lemon Meringue, Cookie Monster, and Strawberry Milkshake cs. I also added some Sequins. I used the new Happy Script Die to cut my "happy" sentiment out of Cherry Pop cs and added that to the bottom of my shaker. I layered that over a circular panel cut out of Lemon Meringue cs using a Stitched Circle Stacklet Die and embossed with the Sprinkles Embossing Folder.

For the background, I used the Party Streamers Stamp Set and some Cherry Pop, Sprinkles, Strawberry Milkshake, and Lemon Meringue Ink to stamp my streamers. The sentiment also comes from this set and I cut it out with a Stitched Banner Stacklets Die. So fun!

Taylored Expressions August Release Day: I Miss Your Face!

10:00 AM 1 Comments

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

I have a couple more projects to share with you today, and the first uses the super fun new Build an Emoji Die Set and the coordinating You Make Me Smile Stamp Set. 

I put my Emoji together using some Lemon Meringue, Strawberry Milkshake, and Oreo cs and cut out the "hello" using the Hello Script Die. I layered those over a Sugar Cube panel and stamped the sentiment directly using Cherry Pop Ink and the Mini Misti Tool to align. I framed the panel using a frame cut with a Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 Die out of Cookie Monster cs.

For the background I used the new Happy Flower Background Stamp and colored some of the images using Copic Markers. Such a happy card!





For my next card I used one of the new Skinny Mini Halloween Border Dies along with the Ghost Town Border Die.


I cut my ghost town out of Earl Grey cs and filled the windows with Lemon Meringue and Oreo cs. The background was sponged using templates cut with the Build a Scene Rolling Clouds Dies, some Jelly Donut Ink, and a Clarity Stencil Brush.

I layered the Ghost Town Border over it as well as the bird border cut out of Oreo cs using a Skinny Mini Halloween Border Die. The sentiment is from the Peek-a-Boo Halloween Stamp Set and I stamped it with Oreo Ink using the Mini Misti Stamping Tool. Finally, I added the bats cut with the Gothic Window Accessories Dies. Love this spooky scene!
