Taylored Expressions February Sneak Peeks: Tanner with Coordinating Dies and Sack It-Chick!

Hello! It's the start of a new month which means a new release at Taylored Expressions! We will have 3 days of sneak peeks and then all of the new products will be available on Thursday!

For my first peek today, I made a card using the adorable new addition to the Pawsitively Purrfect series-Tanner with Coordinating Dies! Isn't he adorable! I stamped Tanner and his dog house with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics. I cut them out with the coordinating dies. The sentiment from Tanner was stamped onto a Banner Stacklets 1 Die, and I cut the adorable paw print with the new Paw Print Border Die. Here's a close up:

Next up I used the adorable new Sack It-Chick to make this fun tag/pocket card!

The base was cut with the Tag Pocket Die and I used a Tag Stacklets 2 Die along with a Tag Reinforcements Die for the insert:

I stamped sentiments from the new set Big Bold Easter and added a border to the bottom of the tag using the new Floral Eyelet Border. The dp is Echo Park Paper Co. Sweet Girl.

Love it! Check out more peeks from the rest of the Baker's Dozen!

I'll be back tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by:)

Taylored Expressions Die Focus: Keeping Tabs

Kerri 10:28 AM 3 Comments

Hello! I wanted to share a Valentine I made using some fabulous Taylored Expressions products! These adorable piggies are from the TE set Love Makes the World Go Round. I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics. The card base was cut with the Tag Pocket Die.

I used one of the Pockets and Pages 3x4 Essentials Dies to cut my insert. I stamped the sentiment from Love Makes the World Go Round and the heart from In My Heart on the insert and added the tab to pull it out using the Keeping Tabs Die. The dp and ribbon are from the January Key Ingredients Kit.

So much fun! I can't wait to make more of these:) Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific Tuesday!

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday!

Kerri 12:00 AM 2 Comments

Hello! It's Fun Friday on the Your Next Stamp Challenge Blog so make sure you head on over there and check out the fabulous DT projects this week:)

Today I used the inspiration picture to create a Valentine treat holder and tag:

I stamped the monkey and heart images from the YNS Set Jungle Critter Crew, cut them out, and popped them up on a tag that I cut with the Treat Bag Tag Die Set. I added the sentiment and then tied my tag onto a treat box that I cut with the Kup Holder Die.

Now I just gotta go find some treats to fill it up! That's it for me. I am working all weekend at a big gymnastics meet down at Disney World of Sports. My daughter's gym hosts this meet every year and it is HUGE!!! I'm looking forward to helping out:) Have a wonderful weekend!

Taylored Expressions January Stamp of the Month

Kerri 11:40 AM 1 Comments

Hello and happy Saturday! I wanted to share another card I made with the TE January Stamp of the Month-Kiss Me and the coordinating dies called Love M'stache!

For this card, I decided to make a tag using the TE Tag Stacklets 2 Dies. I cut the arrow and circular element from Love M'stache and added a stamped heart from Kiss Me in the center. The "Love" sentiment is also from Kiss Me. I stamped the xoxo sentiment from the set on the background and used some My Mind's Eye Cupid's Arrow dp. Sweet and simple!

That's it for me today. I'm off to get a long overdue haircut-yippee! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful long weekend!
