The Interactive Release at Taylored Expressions

Hi and thanks for stopping by today. I have some fun cards to share with you today that are created with new, innovative products from Taylored Expressions. All the new products are available now in the TE Store


This a long post with lots of information! Let's start with a look at the Lightbulb Moment Die Set and the Pear Blossom Press EZ-Light 2 Pack.


There are three dies that create the lightbulb and three different options for the filament die in the center of the lightbulb, along with the die that cuts the place to put the Pear Bloosom Light under. Beside the filament die I used there is a heart and a lighting bolt.

I die cut the center lightbulb from Sugar Cube cardstock, blended Banana Cream Ink over the white, a then some glitter. The outside lightbulb is die cut from Banana Cream Cardstock. I used black glittered cardstock for the screw in portion of the lightbulb. 


Once I had my lightbulb assembled I added vellum under the cut for the light and then a Pear Blossom Press EZ-Light under the vellum. Behind I lightbulb I added foam tape to make room for the EZ-Light. 

The sentiments are from the Light It Up Stamps Set and die cut with the coordinating Light It Up Dies. The stamp set also included the small stamp that stamps Press. So fun! 


I used the Here Comes the Sun Stencil with Banana Cream, Potato Chip, and Cupcake inks to create the background. 


Next let's take a look at the On the Curvy Track Die. There are four dies in the die set giving you different options for the shape of the track. I decide to create a card with Gus & Gertie swimming in the ocean with the Gus & Gertie Stamp & Die Combo - Make a Splash.


First I created the water by blending Confetti Cake, Rock Candy, Blueberry, and Blue Corn Inks. I stamped the fish with the fish stamp in the Turtle-y Awesome Stamp & Die Combo in Blue Corn Ink and splattered the background with white ink. Next I die cut the track. Be sure to keep the die cut to layer back into the card. 


I wanted to show how I added the tape. You will add a On the Track - Spinners and Sliders Discs. I used a slider disc which fits between the two sides of the die cut. You need to be sure you leave enough room for the disc to move. 


I created the sky with Salt Water Taffy Ink and the Set the Scene - Rolling Clouds Stencil Strips. I added the sun with the Circle Stacklets. I used Toffee Cardstock for the sand, ripping the top edge and blending Toffee Ink. 


The card front is die cut with the Squiggle Stacklets. 

My final project features the Pout & Polish Die Set. I went with a non-interactive card on this one. You could make the card interactive by using the On the Curvy Track Die and have the brush come out of the bottle. But I wanted to give you ides for using the dies on a standard card. There is also a sentiment set that coordinates with Pout & Polish Dies, the Glow Big Stamp Set. 


I used Confetti Cake, Fruit Punch, and Lavender Glaze Cardstock with TE Happy Medium - Iridescent Glitter for the bottles of polish. I added the border at the bottom with the More Easy Edgers Die St. I used the Arched Stacklets Dies and Petite Scallop Arched Stacklets Dies to create the background to add the polish bottles. The flowers are die cut with the Garden Variety 1 & 2 Die Sets. 


I used Black Licorice Cardstock for the card front and stenciled with the Take Two - Pretty Polka Stencil with Sugar Cube Ink.
