Patriotic Party with Tailored Expressions

Today Taylored Expressions is releasing products that are perfect for celebrating the red, white, and blue! All the new products are available now in the TE Store. I have two projects to share with you.

My first project features the Gnome of the Brave Die Set. The base of the gnomes is die cut with the previously released Gnome Sweet Gnome Die Set. The original set includes the hands and noses, shoe, hair, and some of the hats. 

I used a combination of Blueberry, Cherry Pop, Gumball, Sugar Cube, Licorice, Salt Water Taffy, and Gold Glitter Cardstock. The noses and hands are colored with Copic Markers. The patriotic diecuts are cut with the Gnome of the Brave Dies. 

I will look forward to displaying my Gnomes of the upcoming holidays. 

My next card is created with the Party in the USA Layering Stencil and the Party in the USA Dies, along with one of the Foil It - Hooray 4th panels. 

I used the Party in the USA Layering Stencil to stencil the three pinwheels. I used Watermelon, Cherry Pop, Blueberry, and Blue Corn Ink. For the centers of the pinwheels I used Happy Medium - Gold Glitter. Then I added Gold Drip Dots to the center of the pinwheels. 

I foiled the panel with gold foil and I stenciled the background with the Set the Scene - Clouds Stencil Strips with Gumball and Blueberry Ink. 

Right now through 11:59PM CT, Sunday, May 28th when you make a purchase of $100 or more in the TE webstore, you will receive the Gus & Gertie - 4th of July Stamp & Die Combo set FREE! Gus and Gertie are dressed in their patriotic best and ready to celebrate! Please note that this promotional set replaces our May incentive set during this release week.

Patriotic Party with Tailored Expressions

Let's Celebrate St. Patricks Day!

Today at Taylored Expressions there is a really fun St. Patrick's Day Release! Think Shamrocks, Rainbows, pots of gold, and some really cute leprechauns! I have two projects to share with you. All the products are available now in the TE Store. 

My first project feature the new Shamrock Shaker Die, the Shake Your Shamrock Stamp Set and Dies, and the Luck of the Irish Background Stamp. First I stamped the Luck of the Irish Background Stamp in Cilantro Ink on Sugar Cube Cardstock. The I die cut the larger shamrock die directly into the card front. 

Next I created the shaker. I die cut the shamrock frame four times from Cilantro Cardstock and once with just the larger die from TE Acetate. Then I layered the die cuts together, adding the acetate behind the first frame. I added new Bits & Pieces: Lucky Stars and Sparkle and Shamrocks to the shaker. 

I added the shamrock shaker to the front of the card and then added sentiments from the new Shake Your Shamrock Stamp Set and die cut with the Shake Your Shamrock Dies. I created the pot of gold with the new Rainbow's End Die Set. 

Next up is the adorable Lucky Leprechauns - Dress Up Dies. These dies coordinate with the previously release Gnome Sweet Gnome Die Set. You use the Gnome Set to cut the bases for the Leprechauns, the hands and noses, and the hair. I used one hat from the Gnome Die Set. Then you can add all the Irish touches with the Lucky Leprechauns - Dress Up Dies. 

I die cut the hair and beards from Peaches n' Cream Cardstock and then blended Candy Corn and Sweet Potato Ink. I used TE glitter cardstock for a few of the shamrocks and the buckles. 

I die cut the noses and hands from Sugar Cube Cardstock and then colored with Copic Markers. I used a white gel pen to add the foam to the green beer. 

For a limited time, you can get the Luck of the Irish Bundle (Luck of the Irish Background stamp, Foil It - Luck of the Irish panels, Shake Your Shamrock stamp set, Shake Your Shamrock die collection, and Rainbow's End die collection) for the discounted price of $65 - regularly retails for $73!

Let's Celebrate St. Patricks Day!

Perfect Present-ation from Taylored Expressions

There is a new release today from Taylored Expressions! TE is releasing a collection of new products that are perfect for adding that special touch to your holiday gifts. I have ideas for cute tags, treat holders, and the cutest snowmen! 

My first project features the adorable Cool Crew Dies! How cute will these snowmen look sitting on my mantle this Christmas, or as part of a table center piece, or make a cute gift for a friend. 

You know I love the little details and creating these snowmen were so much fun. I used glitter cardstock, felt, and lot of Bits & Pieces embellishments along with a variety of colors of cardstock. 

The snowmen die cuts the eyes and buttons and I added Oreo cardstock behind each snowman. 

Next up are the tags I created with the new Holiday Squad Die & Clear Combo. I used the Pierced Tag Stacklets 2 and the Tag Stacklets 2 dies for the base of each tag and the Gingham Checked Background Stamp for the background of each tag. 

I die cut each face from white cardstock and then colored with Copic Markers. Then I used the clear stamps or die cuts to add the features to each face. I used white felt to add the trim to the hat and the collar of the jacket. 

The sentiments are die cut with the All Together Stamp Set and All Together Dies. The Holiday Squad die set allows you add so many great details, including the holly leaves. 

Here a look at Mrs. Claus. I stamped her glasses in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. I added Baker's Twine to each tag to attach the tags to the gift. 

These cute Christmas Tress are so easy to create with the Tree Treat Wrap Die, and the Tree Top Stamp Set. They can hold a sweet tree, a gift card, and I think they would make great place cards for the Christmas table. 

I added the Walnut Wood Tree Trunks to the bottom of each tree with glue. There are four different designs in the Tree Lot Stamp Set. You can stamp in Versamark Ink and emboss with with different colors of embossing powder or pick you favorite inks to stamp the design. 

You can also play around with different color combos like Cupcake and Fruit Punch cardstock with Rose Gold Foil and Rose Gold embossing powder. The tree on the left uses another new product, the Get Thready - Tag Tree Die. 

Right now through Sunday, October 23rd, purchase the Tree Lot Bundle (Get Thready - Tag Tree die collection, Tree Treat Wrap die collection, and Tree Lot stamp set) for $68 and receive walnut tree trunks (set of 10) plus 3 skeins of light effect embroidery floss (red, green, and gold) for FREE.

Taylored Expressions's new Calendar Kit!

Hi! I am excited to sharing the latest kit from Taylored Expressions, The Handcrafted  Calendar Kit! The Kit is available now in the TE Store. 

Calendars are one of our favorite crafts to make, and one of our favorite gifts to give or receive. This year, we’re offering this exclusive Handcrafted Calendar Kit to help you get ready for 2021! It includes everything you need to make a customized 5″ x 8″ calendar designed to hang from a magnetic walnut wood hanger. It comes packaged in a plastic clamshell box with an exclusive kit sticker (perfect for gift-giving!), and includes:

• Walnut Wood Hanger Frame (includes 12″ length of leather cord)
• 5×8 2021 Dated Grid Calendar (12 individual 5″ x 8″ sheets printed on 100 lb. Sugar Cube cardstock)
• Stencil Strips – Calendar (set of 12, numbered to correspond with the months of the year)
• Group Text – Months stamp
• Group Text Die
• Clearly Crafty It’s a Date stamp set

Most items not available to purchase separately. Limited quantity available.

The items that are available to purchase separately for this kit release are: 5×8 2021 Dated Grid Calendar, the Walnut Wood Hanger Frame, 5×8 Clear Calendar Boxes, and the Stamp & Style Pouch.

I started off by creating calendars for the first six month of the year. The stencils are labeled so that you know which stencil goes with which month. 

You can keep the calendars as simple with just the stencil and the month, or embellish with products you already own. For January I added the ice skates with the Little Bits - Ice Skates. I also attached a few Bits & Pieces - Snowflakes. 

All the months are stamped with the Group Text – Months stamp. I stamped with Versamark Ink and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. Here I added a heart with the Heart Stacklets and the Stitched Heart Stacklets. 

I used the Folk Art - Spring Dies to add the birds and birdhouse. 

For April I just added a few clouds with the Rainbow Cloud Duo and Gumball Ink. 

Here the flowers are added with Mini Bloomers. 

The Mermaid Tale Die seemed perfect for June! 

On the next six months I just stenciled and added the name of the month. And you will be amazed how well the Walnut Wood Handle Frame holds all 12 months!

Thanks for taking a look! You can find all the new products here. Stop by the TE Blog for all the details and more inspiration!

I add Oreo Cardstock behind the eye and either Oreo or Cherry Pop cardstock behind the mouths. I added white icing to all the gingerbreads with the dies in the Build a Gingerbread Die Set cut from Sugar Cube card stock. And then I just had fun creating the clothing! 

In the center of the garland I added the word "Merry" with the new Merry Script Die and the Merry Script Backer Die. The sentiment is from the new Make it Merry Stamp Set and I used the new Petite Oval Scallop Stacklets and the Stitched Oval Stacklet to die cut the sentiment.
