Today is the Taylored Expressions Spring and Easter Release. As I sit here and write this it is cold and raining in San Diego. I am looking forward to sunshine and have enjoyed working with some spring colors. All the new products are available now in the TE Store. 

My first card features the new Joyful Bunny Stamp and Stencil Combo and Joyful Bunny Die. I started by stamping the background in Mint Julep Ink. Then I die cut the bunny from Sugar Cube Cardstock three times. I stenciled one of the die cuts with the three stencils in the set with Macaron, Peapod, and Lemon Meringue Inks. 

Then I glued the three bunny die cuts together and added the bunny to the front of the card. I wanted to bunny to stand out from the background. 

I added bold yellow Tiny Diamonds to the centers of the flowers. The sentiment is from the new Hello Spring Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating Hello Spring Dies. 

Next is a look at the new Folk Eggs Stamp and Stencil Combo along with the cute Easter Egg Cups Dies. I stamped the eggs in Sprinkles Ink and added the details with the three stencils in the set. I die cut the eggs with the coordinating Folk Eggs Die and the cups with the the Easter Egg Cups Pies. 

I cut a panel of Sugar Cube Cardstock to fit behind the eggs and stenciled with the Here Come the Sun Stencil, on of my favorites. 

I added another sentiment from the Hello Spring Stamps Set and die cut the card front with the A2 Postage Stamp Stacklets. 

My next are four cards I created with the new Create-in-Quads - Poster Prints Stencil. I love the fun, modern images the stencil creates! I used the stencil with the Foil It - Poster Prints Panels and Gold Stars & Sparkle Fun Foil.

I played with two different color combos. On my first two cards I used Poblano Pepper, Blueberry, Macaron, Dried Fig, Confetti Cake, Blue Raspberry, Potato Chip and Oreo Inks. The sentiments are from the On Occasion Stamp Set. I stamped in VersaFine Clair - Nocturne Ink and embossed with TE Clear Embossing Powder. 

I added Gold Glitter Drops to all the cards.

Papertrey Ink January Sneak Peeks Day 3

Hi and welcome to Day 3 of the Papertrey Ink January Release Sneak Peeks. I have two more cards to share with you today.  Everything will be available for purchase beginning at 10 PM ET, January 26th!  

This fun card is created with the Party Patterns Stamp Set and Party Party Patterns Dies. I stamped and die cut all the patterns of circles in the stamp set. Then I looked at all the circles and said what should I do with them!! I just started playing and this is what I came up with. I think I will use the stamp set frequently. There are so many options for the circles. 

I cut a few of the circle dies directly into the card front and placed the pattern circles under the cutouts. Then I layered some of the circles on top of card front and popped a few up with foam tape. The sentiment is from the Perfect Pairs: Essentials Stamp Set  and die cut with the Perfect Pairs: Essentials Die. 

Supplies: 

Stamps: Pattern Party, Perfect Pairs: Essentials Stamp Set

Dies: Pattern Party, Perfect Pairs: Essentials Dies, Border Bling: Skinny Diagonals Frame Die

Cardstock: Stamper's Select White, Aqua Mist, Tropical Teal

Other: Aqua Jewels, Foam Tape

Next I have two cards to share with the new Band-aid Wishes Stamp Set and Dies. I think is a creative idea for a get well card. There are a number of different patterns for stamping the band-aids. On the box I used the Get Well Die to add the sentiment and then stamped bottom sentiment from the stamp set. 

The sun and the flowers are from the previously released Loads of Healing Stamp Set. I think these two sets pair well together. The card front is cut from Bitty Big: Spring Moss Color Collection and die cut with the Border Bling: Lots of Dots. I added Sweet Blush cardstock behind the cutout. The circle is cut from vellum with the Love to Layer: Scalloped Circles.

Here my second card I created with the Band-aid Wishes Stamp set and Dies. I created the card in the same manner of the first card and but I used the new Border Bling: Blooming Hearts to create the card front. 

I added a few die cut hearts with the With Love Die Collection. 

Stamps: Band-aid Wishes
Dies: Band-aid Wishes, Border Bling: Blooming Hearts, Love to Layer:  Scalloped Circles. With Love

Thanks for stopping by for Day 2 of the Ink to Paper November Release Sneak Peek! I have two projects to share today.  Everything will be available for purchase beginning at 10 PM EDT on November 15th!

The star of my first card is the new Feathered Friends 6 Dies. I die cut all the pieces for the bird from white cardstock and then blended distress inks to add the color. I used Speckled Egg for the body of the bird, Weathered Wood on the edges of the white cardstock and Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch on the wing.

I used the new Cover Plate: Ornate to die cut the pretty background. Behind the frame I added vellum and Ocean Tides Cardstock. 

The sentiments are included in the Brighter Days Stamp Set. To finish off the card I added a few white rhinestones. 

Here is a closer look at the new Brighter Days Stamp Set and Dies. I stamped three sets of the flowers and the stems, bunched them together, and then added the bow. 

The background is a blend of Blueberry Sky and New Leaf Inks. The sentiment is included with the stamp set. 

The background is created with the Border Bing: Tin Stitch Die and Lavender Moon Cardstock.
