It's the Valentine Release at Taylored Expressions

Hi Friends! Love is in the air! It's the Valentine Release at Taylored Expressions. It's a BIG Release. I have three projects to share with you today. The products can be purchased separately or there are a number of bundles available that I will list at the bottom of the post. All the new products are available now in the TE Store


First up is a look at the Around the the Town - Love Bundle. You may recognize the concept from the 
Around Town Collection - Christmas that came out as part of the Christmas Release. The collection includes the Around Town - Love Stencil and coordinating dies, the heart shaped maps, and the Love Is In the Air sentiment set and  coordinating dies.


One of the things I love about the Around Town - Love Stencil and coordinating dies is that you create so many images at once! I had enough images to create both my two cards. I have listed the inks I used with the stencil below. 


I stenciled the background with one of the four map options with the Around the Town Hearts Stencil using Salt Water Taffy Ink. I added the sentiment with the Love Is In the Air sentiment set and  coordinating dies. The card is framed with the largest die in the  Frame in Frame 3 Cutting Plate


My second card uses another one of the map options in the  Around the Town Hearts Stencil. I used Cupcake Ink on the card. This sentiment is also from the  Love Is In the Air Stamp Set. 


There are also three new colors of Enamel Dots in this release, Pink Champagne, which I used on my card, and Guava, and Dried Fig. 


Next is a look at the Happy Mail Die & Clear combo. The mail box is perfectly sized to fit on the Treats & Trinkets box or it can be used on a card front! The combo is perfect for Valentine's Day or change up the colors and use the products throughout the year! 


To create the card front I stenciled with the Set the Scene - Clouds Stencil Strips with Cupcake Ink. Then I added the grass at the bottom with the  Build a Scene - Grassy Hills die set and Mint Julep Cardstock. 


Here is a closer look at the mail box. The center panel is stenciled with the Mini Slim Stencil - Swiss Hearts. I added the little envelope with the die included in the die set, and added the XO with the new Bits & Pieces - XOXO. I also used TE Red Glittered Cardstock for add a little bling. 


The mail box fits perfectly on the front of the box I created with the  Treats & Trinkets box, perfectly sized to add candy, money, or a small gift. 


Next I created three tags with the new Sweetheart Shaker Die and the Heart Shaped Shaker Bubbles. I filled the shaker with the pieces in the Bits & Pieces - XOXO. But you could add candy or other small items to the shakers. TE has a die called the  Pull to Open Die which you could used on the back of tag if you want your shaker to open. 


My first shaker is created to look like a perfume bottle. I like this option. My daughters are adults but I still give them little Valentine gifts. So I created my shakers with older children in mind. I added the Love Potion No. 9 sentiment with the previously released Foil It - If You Dare Labels Valentine


Before I die cut the hearts I stamped with the new Fineline Script 6 x 6 background Stamp, just to add some pattern to the background. The Sweetheart Shaker Die includes the tab at the top of the tag. 


I used the new Champagne Glittered Cardstock on my tags. I like this color!
