Happy 17th Birthday Taylored Exopressions!

We are celebrating Taylored Expressions 17th Birthday this month! I feel honored to have been part of the TE Design Team for so many years and watch TE grow! We are celebrating with Disco and Balloons! You can find all the new products now in the TE Store.

My first project features the Up For A Celebration product line which includes the Up For A Celebration Split Stamp and Stencil Combo, the the Up For A Celebration Coordinating Die, the Foil it - the Up For A Celebration panels, and the All the Best Birthday Stamp Set and coordinating All the Best Birthday Dies.

The All the Best Birthday Stamp Set is a split stamp, allowing you to stamp the background separately from the balloons depending on how you planning to lay out your card. For my background I stenciled clouds with the new Popsicle Ink and the stamped the background with the All the Best Birthday Stamp in Plum Punch Ink. 

I foiled one of the  Foil it - the Up For A Celebration panels with gold foil with my Minc. Then I used the  Foil it - the Up For a Celebration Stencil to add the color. I used the Frame in Frame 3 Cutting Plate to die cut the frame. 

The sentiment is from the All the Best Birthday Stamp and die cut with the coordinating dies. 

I also made a tag with the new products. This week only, every order comes with a FREE Birthday Bingo Bundle that includes a special gift for you and an invitation to join us in our celebration at our virtual birthday party on Tuesday, 9/23 at 7 PM CT. The sentiments I used on the tag are part of the gift. 

My next project is created with the fun new disco themed products. You can choose from the Disco Vibes Layering Stencil, Disco Vibes Coordinating Dies, Foil It - Disco Vibes panels, the Disco Dress Up Die Set, and the Groovy Greetings Stamp Set and coordinating dies. 

I foiled one of the Foil It - Disco Vibes panels with Silver Foil and blended Salt Water Taffy on the background. I used TE Silver Foil to die cut the disco balls and adhered the die cut over the stenciling. I added the bow with the Disco Dress Up Die Set. 

The sentiment is from the Groovy Greetings Stamp Set. I have a dancing queen in my family this card will be going to!!

Happy 17th Birthday Taylored Exopressions!

The Pick Your Pairings Release at Taylored Expressions

I am kicking of September with projects from the new Pick Your Pairings Release at Taylored Expressions. The Pick Your Pairings Release is where TE fans, our amazing community of crafters, share your product pairing ideas and today we’re excited to add some of those ideas to the TE collection.

Let's start with a look at the Wallflower Background Stamp and the Autumn Wallflower Layering Stencil.  I started by stamping the Wallflower Background Stamp on Buttercream Cardstock with Cinnamon Ink and lightly blending Toffee Ink on the edges of the card front. 

Next I used the Autumn Wallflower Layering Stencil to add the fall icons to the Wallflower Background. I have listed the ink colors I used below. 

The sentiment is from the previously released Happy Harvest Stamp Set and die cut with the Happy Harvest Dies. I die cut the leaves with the Fall Flurry Dies. 

One of the customer requests was to add dies to coordinate with the Create-in-Quads Layering Stencil - Mistletoe that was previously released. This is one of my all time favorite stencils and perfect to mass producing Christmas cards. 

I started by foiling a Foil It - Mistletoe panel with gold foil and then stenciling with Honeydew Melon, Brussels Sprout, Cherry Pop, and Mulled Wine Inks. Then I used the new Create-in-Quads - Mistletoe Dies to die cut the images. 

I used the Tiny Twinkles Embossing Folder to emboss the card fronts. 

All the sentiments are from the Jingle All the Way Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating Jingle of the Way Dies. 

I used TE Gold Foil to add the shadow to the die cut edges. 

On this card I used the new Additional Arched Stacklets and the Petite Scallop Arched Stacklets Dies to add the arched center. I am excited about this new dies. I love the shape! The bow is die cut with the Little Bits - Mini Bows Dies.

The Pick Your Pairings Release at Taylored Expressions

It's Raining Cats and Dogs!

It is the last Tuesday of the month and time for a new cardmaking kit from Taylored Expression. There are two pet themed kits to choose from this month, one all about dogs, and one all about cats. I have a project with each kit to share with you. 

Both cardmaking kits are available now in the TE Store. 

My first card is created with the Meow & Furever Kit. 

The Meow & Furever Kit includes:

• Meow & Furever Stamp & Stencil Combo
• Meow & Furever Cutting Plate Die
• The Insiders - Meow & Furever
• Taylored Tutorial

I stamped the cats with the Meow & Furever Stamp and then stenciled the cats and used the Meow & Furever Cutting Plate Die to die cut all the cats at once. I stamped the Meow & Furever Stamp again on Blue Raspberry Cardstock with Oreo Ink and then added the cats back into the card front. 

The sentiment is from the Purr-fect Friend Stamp and die cut with Purr-fect Friend Coordinating Dies. These products are available for purchase separately. There is a bundle available.
