The For Her Release at Taylored Expressions

The For Her release at Taylored Expressions focuses on celebrating all women as well as celebrating all stages of motherhood for Mother's Day! All the new products are available now in the TE Store. 

My first card features the new Bouquet Wrap Die, the Weathered Wood Background Stamp, the Itty Bitty Sentiments Stamp Set and Itty Bitty Tags 3, along with the new 6 x 6 Brown Paper Stack.

First I die cut flowers and greenery with the Garden Variety 2 Dies from the card stock color I linked below. Then I added some ink blending to each die cut for added detail. To create the wrap I die cut with the new Bouquet Wrap Die for the new 6 x 6 Brown Paper Stack. The Brown Paper Stack is a thin, light weight paper that is perfect for this type of die. I stamped the paper with the new Weathered Wood Background Stamp in Toffee Ink. 

The background is stamped with the previously released Checking In Background Stamp with Macaron Ink. I added the sentiment to the Bouquet Wrap with the new Itty Bitty Sentiments Stamp Set - Everyday and die cut with the new Itty Bitty Tags 2 Die set.  The addition sentiments are from the Mini Strips - Birthday Stamp Set. 

Next up is a look at the Heartfelt Blooms Stamp and Stencil Combo. The stamp stamps the greenery and then there are three stencils to add the details. I have listed the inks I used below. Then I die cut the image with the coordinating Heartfelt Blooms Dies. 

I added the sentiment to the bouquet with the new Itty Bitty Sentiments Stamp Set - Everyday and die cut with the new Itty Bitty Tags 2 Die set, then used twine to tie the sentiment to the stems. The additional sentiments are from the Mini Strips - Birthday Stamp Set. 

Behind the bouquet I added a panel of Sugar Cube Cardstock that die cut with the Cloudy Skies Piercing Plate and then blended with Rose Water Ink. I added the frame with Frame in Frame Cutting Plate. I added the small hearts with the Little Bits - Hearts Dies.

Nature's Canvas Cardmaking Kit

Hi Crafters! Today I have projects to share that I created with new Nature's Canvas Cardmaking Kit from Taylored Expressions. The Nature's Canvas Stamp Set includes four pretty floral images that can be watercolored, colored with alcohol markers or blended with the Nature's Canvas Coloring Stencils. I used the stencils for my projects. 

I stenciled the floral images with a combination of Cupcake, Raspberry Sorbet, and Mulled Wine Inks for the larger flowers, Macaron Ink for the smaller florals, and Kiwi and Dill Pickles Inks for the leaves using a combination of my TE Detail Blender Brush and my TE Bitty Blender Brushes. 

I die cut the images with the Nature's Canvas Dies, which are available for purchase separately. Behind the flower I added a panel of Sugar Cube Cardstock that I lightly blended with Cupcake Ink and die cut with the Talking In Circles Piercing Plate Die. 

I framed the card with the Frame in Frame 2 Cutting Plate and used Mulled Wine Cardstock for the card base. I also added a few Bits & Pieces: White Foil Dots. 

The sentiments on my cards are stamped with the Timeless Greetings Stamp Set, which is included in the cardmaking kit. I die cut the sentiment with the coordinating Timeless Greetings Dies, that are available for purchase separately. 

For my second card I created a mini slim card with another image from the Nature's Canvas Stamp Set. The background is embossed with the Sweet Squares 6 x 6 Embossing Folder. I used Sugar Cube Cardstock and blended Cupcake Ink over the embossing and splattered white paint. 

I added a strip of Raspberry Sorbet Cardstock at the bottom with the Easy Strips - 1/2" Stitched Dies. This sentiment is also included in the Timeless Greeting Stamp Set. 

I used the Little Bits - Butterflies Dies to added the three butterflies. I added vellum over Raspberry Sorbet Cardstock.

Nature's Canvas Cardmaking Kit

Easter Greeting

 Hi and thanks for stopping by! Today I have Easter and Spring projects to share that are created with new products from the Pretty Pink Posh March Release. This collection features eggs, bunnies, tulips, butterflies, and more to inspire all your upcoming Easter and Spring projects! You can find all the new products now in the PPP Store. 

My first card features the Carrot Shaker die, the Upright Greeetings: Easter, and the adorable Springtime Borders Stencils. 

I created this carrot shaker by die cutting the Carrot Shaker four times. I glued the layers together adding acetate to the first layer. Then I dropped in Sugar Pop Shaker Beads.

I attached sentiments from the Upright Greetings: Easter Stamp Set at the top of the carrot. I die cut the sentiments with the Sentiment Strips Dies. 

The background is stenciled with the Springtime Borders Stencils. I think this such a cute stencil! I die cut the card front with the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies. 

I have a second shaker card I created with the Tulip Shaker Dies. On this card I just created a shaker with the tulip part of the flower but can create a shaker in the leaves too. For this shaker I used the new Spring Flowers Clay Confetti. I love those little flowers in the confetti. 

To create the background I used both the Watercolor Rectangle Mask Stencil and the Line Bursts Stencil. First I stenciled with the Watercolor Rectangle Mask Stencil using a light yellow ink. Then I placed the  Line Bursts Stencil over the Watercolor Rectangle Mask Stencil and stenciled with a brighter yellow ink. 

The sentiment is from the new Easter Greetings Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. I added the fence at the bottom with the Picket Fence Die. 

I splatter a little gold paint no the background and add a few gold gems. 

Next up is a look at the new Bunny Holder Dies and the Easter Holder Additions Dies. 

First is put together the bunny, die cutting from white cardstock, added the sweet face, ears, and bunny tail. I added a little pink ink to the bunny cheeks. The Easter Holder Additions Dies gives you a number of options to create items for the bunny to hold. I created and filled the Easter basket and flowers with the die set. 

I die cut grass with the Nature's Essentials Dies. I used the Eyelet Rectangle Dies to die cut the card front. 

The sentiments are from the Upright Greetings Easter Stamp Set. 

Thanks for taking a look. I hope you have been inspired to start creating your Easter and Spring projects! You can find all the new products here.

Pick Your Pairings Release at Taylored Expressions

Pick Your Pairings week is all about what TE customers want to coordinate with a current TE product. Taylored Expressions asked the Fans of TE Facebook Group what they would like to see! I have two projects to share with the customer inspired products. The new stamps and dies are available now in the TE Store. 

The  Sandy Shores Split 6x6 Background Stamp is such a great scene building stamp set and the new Gus & Gertie - Make a Splash Stamp Set and Die combo is so fun with the background stamp.  

I stamped the water in Rock Candy and Confetti Cake Inks and the sand in Toffee Ink I splattered the background with white paint and then added brown watercolor splatters to the sand. I also added a few white drops from the Tiny Diamonds - Bold. 

Gus and Gertie are colored with Olo Markers. I created the umbrellas with the Under My Umbrella die set.The card front is die cut with the Frayed Edge Stacklets. 

The sentiment is included in the Gus & Gertie - Make a Splash Stamp Set and Die combo.

Next is a look at the Tall Tales Alpha Die Set and the coordinating Foil It - Mini Slim Drop Shadow Sentiments. First I stenciled the background with the Rotating Hearts Stencil with Cupcake and Guava Inks. Then I foiled the panel with TE Gold Stars & Sparkle Fun Foil.

I die cut each letter from a different color cardstock that are linked below. The foiled shadows make the letters easy to line up.

I used the Mini Slim Postage Stamp Stacklets to mat the foiled panel. 

When you spend $200+ site wide, you’ll receive a free $25 coupon card* to use on a future order of $25 or more!
