A Paper Melody

Twice a year Taylored Expressions asks our customers which products you’d like to see expanded. Maybe there’s a stamp set that would be even more versatile with coordinating dies. Perhaps a favorite floral design is waiting for a coloring stencil. The Pick Your Pairing Release is filled with new products designed to coordinate with TE favorites you may already own!

On my first card I used three of the new products. The Just Because Coloring Stencil coordinates with the previously released Just Because Stamp Set and Dies. I am excited about the Mini Slim Arched Stacklets. I love the arch shape and am happy to have it for Mini Slim Cards. TE has also added butterflies to the Little Bit Collection.

I used Macaron, Dried Fig, and Concord Grape Inks for the flowers and Pear and Sweet Basil for the leaves with the new Just Because Blooms Coloring Stencil. Then I die cut the image and added it the center of the arch with foam tape.

I added clouds to the center of the arch with the Set the Scene - Cloud Strip Stencil. I added the butterflies with the new Little Bits - Butterfly. The sentiment is included in the Just Because Stamp Set.

My next card features the new Spooky Scribbles 6x6 Background Stamp. I stamped in VersaFine Clair - Nocturne Ink and then embossed with TE Clear Embossing Powder. The embossing helps keep my background pattern bold when I do the ink blending. I blended Potato Chip, Pineapple, Candy Corn, Guava, and Rose Water Inks.

I added the ghosts with the Haunted Boo-levard Dies and added Bits & Pieces - Black Rhinestones to the eyes.

The large sentiment is die cut with the new C'mon It's Halloween Die Set for TE Black Glitter Cardstock.

I love the Triple Slim Layering Stencil - Holly Holiday that was previously released. Now we have the Triple Slim - Holly Holiday Coordinating Dies. This set is perfect for mass producing Christmas cards!

I used a color palette of Salt Water Taffy, Sour Gummy, Watermelon, Cherry Pop, and Sweet Basil Inks.

I used the new Mini Slim - Arched Stacklets again to cut the arch shape the for the center of the card.

I used the Little Bits - Star Dies to add the star to the top of the tree.

After I stenciled I lightly splattered the background with gold paint from the TE Watercolor Set - Metallic.

I used different colors of cardstock for the inside of the arch and embossed with the Embossing Folder - Tiny Twinkles.

The sentiments are from the Mini to Mighty Stamp Set - Christmas and die cut with the coordinating dies. I stamped in Versamark Ink on Cherry Pop Cardstock and embossed with TE Embossing Powder in Gold Sparkle.
