Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks: A Life She Loved and Sunshiny Day

10:00 AM 3 Comments

Hello!  It's Day 3 of Sneak Peeks from Taylored Expressions and all of the new products will be available tomorrow!

 First I have a home decor project to share with you:)  I made this for my craft room and I just love it!  Taylor has gotten several new frames and other home decor items in the store.  I used the Kaisercraft Beyond the Page Photo Display-9 Frame. I painted the frame white and then added the pictures of my kiddos to the 3 larger frames.  I cut pieces of Basic Grey RSVP dp to fill the other frames and added some images and sentiments from the new A Life She Loved stamp set.



I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. The butterfly was cut with the Flutter-bys Die Set.


The "love" sentiment was cut with the Pockets and Pages February Script Die Set and I layered it over a paint stroke that I stamped with the new Stroke of Genius stamp set.


My next card uses the new Sunshiny Day stamp set along with the new Label Stacklets 8 Dies.


I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black and this time I tried out my new Crafter's Companion Spectrum Noir Markers!  These markers are fabulous and make coloring so much fun!  I love the way the colors blend and they have several colors that I don't currently have with my Copics:)

 When I saw the images in Sunshiny Day I squealed with excitement!  These images are sooooo CUTE and right up my alley:)  I cut them out and popped them up with Foam Tape over a frame that I cut with the new Label Stacklets 8 Dies.  The sentiment was cut out with a Banner Stacklets 1 Die. I used the Deconstructed Sketch #143 for my layout and some Basic Grey RSVP dp once again.


Check out more peeks from the rest of the Baker's Dozen!
Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back tomorrow with one final project for release day!  Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Taylored Expressions April Sneak Peek: Cherish Every Moment

10:00 AM 5 Comments

Hello!  I'm back with another sneak peek from Taylored Expressions:) Today we are introducing some images from a new TE Illustrator-Danielle Lounds! Remember, all of the new stamps and dies will be available on Thursday-YAY!

I used one of the new A La Carte stamp sets from Danielle called Cherish Every Moment! This set comes with this beautiful floral image and the sentiment that I used on my card. 

I stamped the image twice with Memento Tuxedo Black and cut out the large flower so I could pop it up with Foam Tape.  The image was colored with Copics and I used Circle Nestabilities and a Bloomin' Stacklets 1 Die to frame it.


 The dp I used is Echo Park Paper Co. Splendid Sunshine.

Make sure you check out more peeks from the rest of the Baker's Dozen!

Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific Tuesday!

Taylored Expressions April Sneak Peeks: Greetings For Her and Silhouette Stems 4

10:00 AM 7 Comments

Hello!  It's time for some sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions! The new April stamps and dies will be available this Thursday!

For my first project, I made a simple trio of cards using the new sentiment set called Greetings For Her as well as a new die called Silhouette Stems 4!  I stamped 3 of the sentiments from the Greetings For Her set with Memento Tuxedo Black and cut them out with a die from the new Band-It 2 Die Set. The flowers were cut out twice with green and then hot pink.  I cut off the pink flowers and adhered them onto the green stems.  I added a few Kaisercraft Pearl centers and they were complete!  Super simple:)


Next up I have another CAS card using the Greetings For Her stamp set:


I used the new Spotted Cutting Plate to cut a piece of white cs and layered it over some dp.  I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark and embossed with some Zing! Aqua Opaque Embossing Powder.  I cut it out with the new Band-It 2 Die once again-love the shape!

Make sure you check out more peeks from the rest of the Baker's Dozen!  
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Taylored Expressions Die Focus: Luggage Tags!

11:24 AM 0 Comments

Hello!  So yesterday my daughter says "I can't find any of my bookmarks, mom!"  How many bookmarks have I made this child?  Anyway, I took that to mean that I needed to crank out a new bookmark and this time I chose to use the fabulous Taylored Expressions Luggage Tags Die.  

I simply cut the die out with black cs to coordinate with Avery's gym outfit, and adhered it to a picture of her before one of her gymnastic meets.  I then decided to add the word "Dream" that I cut with a die from the TE Windy Tree Die Set.  I tied some blue ribbon to the top and it was complete!  A quick and easy bookmark that I'm sure will end up lost somewhere like the rest of them:)


That's it for me today.  I'm busy getting ready for the Taylored Expressions new release which happens next week!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day:)
