The Patriotic Release!

America turns 250 just once and Taylored Expressions is joining in the celebration with new products to celebrate in a handmade way! Think fireworks lighting up the night sky, handwritten happy mail, neighborhood parades, and all the red, white, and blue memories that bring us together year after year! All the new products are available now in the TE Store. 

My first card features The Archive Collection - On the Road Wagon. This is a die set you can use throughout the year! I filled the wagon with red, white, and blue flowers using the previously release Garden Variety Die Set. To add to the patriotic feel I used gold foil to die cut the wagon handle and the center of the wheels. 

I used Blueberry Cardstock for the card front that I embossed with the new Stars and Stripes Embossing Folder. After I embossed the cardstock I lightly rubbed my Sugar Cube Ink Pad over the embossing. I framed the card with the largest die in the Frame in Frame Cutting Plate 3. 

I added the pennant with the sentiment with the Pennant Picks Die & Clear Stamp Combo. The bottom sentiment is from the new Star-Spangled Sentiments Stamps Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. 

I love the TE Postmarked Collection and Postmarked - Americana is the newest addition to product line. I used the Foil It - Postmarked Americana with Gold Shimmer Fun foil. Then I stenciled with the Postmarked - Americana Stencil. I used a combination of Cherry Pop, Blueberry, Watermelon, and Confetti Cake Inks. I also embossed the card front with the Postmarked - Americana Embossing Folder. 

I created the mailbox with the Happy Mail Die &  Clear Stamp Combo that was release last year. I stenciled a few extra images and die cut them with the Postmarked Cutting Plate which works with all the images in the Postmarked Collection. I used foam tape to add the envelopes and stamp falling out of the mailbox. 

This sentiment is also from the Star-Spangled Sentiments Stamp Set.

The Patriotic Release!

The Patriotic Party Release at Taylored Expressions

Hi and thanks for stopping! Today's cards are created with new products from the Patriotic Party Release at Taylored Expressions. This release is all about celebrating the USA & our service heroes! 

Let's start with a look at the Foil It - Americana Panels. I used two of the panels in the set, the circle shape and vertical card front panel with Blueberry Fun Foil and Red Stars & Sparkle Fun Foil using the Mini Mini Foil Applicator. 

I framed the circle foil panel with the largest die in the Stitched Frame Stacklets 3 Die and Red Glittered Cardstock. The sentiment is from the new Americana Expressions Stamp Set. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. 

How cute is Gus & Gertie dressed up for the 4th of July! I used the new Gus & Gertie - 4th of July Stamp and Die Combo and colored with Olo Markers. I framed the card front with the A2 Postage Stamp Stacklets. 

Next is a look at the new Mason Jar Die, perfect for the 4th of July and throughout the year. I die cut the jar from Sugar Cube Cardstock, inked the edges with Gumball Ink and added a vellum die cut jar over the white cardstock jar. 

I filled the jar with flowers and greenery die cut with the Garden Variety 2 Dies along with a flag die cut with the new American Flag Dies. 

The stripes are stamped with the new Americana 6 x 6 Background Stamp in Cherry Pop Ink. I added another sentiment from the Americana Expressions Stamp Set.

Stars, Stripes, & Picnics!

Hi Friends! It's Day 2 of the Papertrey Ink May Release Countdown.  This release is all about summer, sunshine, beach, and summer treats. The new products will be available for purchase on May 28th at 10:00 ET. 

My first card screams Summer! I created this one for the 4th of July. The card is created with the new Life's A Picnic Sentiments Stamps and Dies and the Picnic Time Dies. 

I stamped the sentiment on Pure Poppy Cardstock in Versamark Ink and the embossed with white embossing powder. Next I created the adorable popsicle, pie, hot dog, and watermelon. I have listed the cardstocks and inks I used listed below.  

I added the smaller sentiment to the pie. I die cut extra stars from red glittered cardstock to add to the pie and as additional accents. 

The background is foiled with the previously released Stargazing Hot Foil Plate and red foil. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Life's A Picnic Sentiments

Dies: Life's A Picnic Sentiments, Picnic Time

Ink: Versamark, Spring Rain, Classic Kraft, Pure Poppy

On my second card I used the Life's A Picnic Sentiments Stamps and Dies and the Picnic Time Dies again and added the sunshine with the new Cornered: Summer Sun. This is a 4 1/2 by 6 1/4 size card which gives you a little more space. I started by cutting a piece of Stamper's Select White Cardstock to fit the card front and stenciled with the Buffalo Plaid Stencil Collection with Aqua Mist Ink. 

After I stenciled I die cut the upper corners with the new Cornered: Summer Sun and added yellow ink blended cardstock behind the suns. Then I arranged the fun food items I created with the Picnic Time Dies. The sentiment is included in the Life's A Picnic Sentiment Set. I think you could used these products to create invitations to any summer get together. 

I added the bottom border with the Border Bling: Skinny Star Frames, just using one side of die cut. I finished off with a few scattered blueberries that I accented with blue gems.

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.

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.
