Pick Your Pairings

Hi and welcome to a  look at the Pick Your Pairing Release at Taylored Expressions. Twice a year, we invite our Fans of TE Facebook community to share ideas for coordinating products that would enhance or extend items they already love. 

First up is a look at the Onesie Funsie Clear Stamp Set - Grandparents addition. This is a new sentiment set that coordinates with the previously released Onesie Funsie Dies. 

I love the idea of sentiments for new grandparents! Here I added hearts to the onesie with the Mini Slim Stencil - Sweet Hearts and then stamped the sentiment. I added the baby themed embellishments with the Bundle of Joy Stamp Set and coordinating Dies. I added the flowers with the Fresh Cut Flowers Die Set. 

The background is embossed with the Lots of Love 3D Embossing Folder. The bottom sentiment is from the Mini Strips - Baby Stamp Set and die cut with the Mini Strips Die. 

I added one of  the Insiders - Grandparents panels to the inside of the card. 

Here is the second version of the card using most of the same products I used on the first card. 

I stamped the background and onesie with the Celestial Skies Background Stamp using Tiki Mule Ink on Royal Icing Cardstock. 

You can foil the Insiders panels. Here I used Blueberry Foil. 

Next I created a few tags with the Bitty Strips - Everyday Occasions and coordinating Bitty Strips Die and a few more of the new products. This set of tags showcase the Seasonal Sprig Stamp Set and coordinating Seasonal Sprig Foil It and Dies. I have listed the Foils and ink colors I used below. 

I die cut the stenciled image and cut it fit the tag. The tag is created with the Simple Tags Die and Backer Die. 

These tags are created with the Create in Quad Layering Stencil - Smiley Squad + Clear Add-Ons, C'mon on Get Happy Stamp Set, and the Smiley Squad Clear Stamp and Die Combos. These sentiments are also included in the Bitty Strips - Everyday Occasions Stamp Set.

It's the Easter Release at Taylored Expressions!

Hi Crafters! I am popping in today with projects I have created with the new Easter Release at Taylored Expressions. There is something in this release for everybody. All the new products are available now in the TE Store. 

Let's start with a look at the new Tisket A Tasket line of products and the adorable Bitty Box Bunny Accessories and Giftable - Bitty Box. 

I used the A Tisket A Tasket Die Set and A Tisket A Tasket Die Set - Easter to create this sweet Easter Basket. The A Tisket A Tasket Die Set creates the basket and can be used for many other occasions. The set includes the dies to put together the basket, flowers and leaves, and a bow. 

The Tisket A Tasket Die Set - Easter is what I used to create the all the Easter items. I love how the bunny hangs over the basket. 

I added the sentiment with the new Pennant Picks Die and Clear Stamp Combo. The clear stamp set has sentiments for many different occasions. 

The background is stamped with the Scattered Meadow Background Stamp with Confetti Cake Ink on Salt Water Taffy Cardstock. I used the Rounded Rectangle Stacklets Die Set and the Ridged Rounded Rectangle Stacklets Die Set to the cutout in the center of the card. 

And how sweet is this treat box! The Giftables - Bitty Box Die creates a small box and then you use the Bitty Box Bunny Accessories Die and Clear Stamp Combo to added the ears, heart nose, and feet and stamp the sweet face. I used Cupcake Felt inside the ears. 

I used Postmarked - Springtime products to create this card.  First I used the Postmarked - Springtime Layering Stencil with a Foil It Postmarked Springtime panel. I used Champagne Foil. I stenciled with Rose Water, Fruit Punch, Kiwi and Potato Chip Inks. 

Next I embossed the card front with the Postmarked - Springtime Embossing Folder. The embossing added such a nice texture to the card. 

The sentiment is stamped with the new Hip-Hop Happy Easter Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating Dies. 

I used the A Tisket A Tasket Die Set Easter to add the additional embellishments. 

My final project showcases the Risen Indeed Die Set. You can see how the circle dies layer together to create the scene. Behind the cross I added a circle die cut with the Rays Pierce & Cut Plate Die. 

The sentiment is from the new The Promise of Easter Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. I added the flower with the previously released Garden Variety Dies. 

I stamped the background with the Scatter Meadow Background Stamp using Macaron Ink on Macaron Cardstock.

Hex Effects!

It is the last Tuesday of the month and time for another Taylored Expressions Cardmaking Kit. Welcome Hex Effects! The Hex Effects kit is designed to make cardmaking simple with endless possibilities. Supplies are limited, so be sure to grab yours before they're gone.

I have two projects with the kit to share with you today. 

To create my first card I used the Hex Effects Cutting Plate Die with the Hexagon Layering Stencil. I stenciled with Guava, Fruit Punch, Granny Smith, and Potato Chip Ink. Then I die cut the Hex Effect Cutting Plate Die from Sugar Cube Cardstock and layered the die cut over the stencil to create the card front. 

To created the center hexagons I stamped the Polka Chic Background Stamp on Sugar Cube Cardstock with Versamark Ink and then embossed with TE White Embossing Folder, and then stenciled over the white embossing. I die cut the polka dot hexagons and used foam tape to inlay the die cuts back into the card front. 

I used the Mini to Mighty Stamp Set - Valentine Stamp Set and Dies to add the sentiment to the center of the card. 

On my second card I used a TE Maps - Hex Effects, that is included in the kit, to create the card front. I chose the map that reminded me of a quilt pattern. I used the Hex Effects Cutting Plate Die to die cut the patterned hexagons. I used Macaron, Kiwi, Blue Raspberry, and Potato Chip cardstock. 

Then I followed the page map and glued the die cut hexagons to create the pattern. I used foam tape to attach the center yellow hexagons to add dimension. I added a heart that I die cut with the Dinky Decorations Die Set - Valentine and added a Bits & Pieces - Cookie Monster Glitter Drop.

This sentiment is from the Sew Many Wishes Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies.
