The Second Chance Release

Hi and thanks for stopping by today. I have four projects to share with you today that I created with new products for the Second Chance release at Taylored Expressions. Twice a year, TE brings back select past Gifts with Purchase so you have a second chance to add these customer favorites to your collection, along with  brand-new coordinating products!

How cute are these adorable geese! They are created with the new Porch Goose Die Set! The die set includes numerous accessories to dress up the geese. There is a cute raincoat and umbrella that I did not use on this card. I used a color combo of Watermelon, Pear, Confetti Cake, and Blue Corn. 

I die cut the arch with the Arched Stacklets and matted with the Scallop Arched Stacklets. The clouds are stenciled with the Set the Scene - Clouds Stencil Strips and the grass with the Set the Scene - Grass Stencil Strips.

The sentiment is from another fun goose set, the Silly Goose Stamp Set, and the card front is embossed with the new Tweed Embossing Folder. 

My next card is created with the Sweetheart Blooms Layering Stencil, Foil It, and Sweetheart Blooms Piercing Plate. The Sweetheart Blooms Foil It is foiled with Champagne Foil and stencil with Pink Champagne, Guava, Fruit Punch, Honeydew Melon, Green Tea, and Brussels Sprouts Inks.

Next I used the Sweetheart Blooms Piercing Plate to die cut the stenciled heart and matted the heart with the scalloped heart die included in the die set from Honeydew Melon Cardstock. 

The sentiment from the Lifetime of Love Stamp Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. I added the texture to the card front with the Quilted Cutting Plate Die. 

I love the fun, happy Sunkissed Shores Layering Stencil and the Sunkissed Shores Mosaic Dies. First I stenciled the background with the Sunkissed Shores Layering Stencil using Blue Raspberry, Rock Candy, Pineapple and Candy Corn Inks. 

Next I used Sunkissed Shores Mosaic Dies to created the center focal point. I die cut the die with Sugar Cube, Pineapple, Blue Raspberry, and Rock Candy Cardstock. I blended Salt Water Taffy Ink on the Sugar Cube Die cut and then inlayed the colored cardstock back into the triangle. 

I splattered gold watercolor on the background and added a few Gold Glitter Drops. The sentiment is from the Endless Summer Stamp Set. 

My last project features the Mega Messages Die Set and the Bitty Strips - Lots of Love Stamp Set. 

I stenciled the card front with the Wallflowers - Bows Layering Stencil using Bubblegum, Fruit Punch, Peaches n' Cream, and Papaya Inks. The card front is die cut first with the Pierced Tiles Cutting Plate Die and then with the A2 Large Scallop Stacklets Die Set.

I stenciled and die cut a few extra bows to add to the card front.

Nature's Canvas Cardmaking Kit

Hi Crafters! Today I have projects to share that I created with new Nature's Canvas Cardmaking Kit from Taylored Expressions. The Nature's Canvas Stamp Set includes four pretty floral images that can be watercolored, colored with alcohol markers or blended with the Nature's Canvas Coloring Stencils. I used the stencils for my projects. 

I stenciled the floral images with a combination of Cupcake, Raspberry Sorbet, and Mulled Wine Inks for the larger flowers, Macaron Ink for the smaller florals, and Kiwi and Dill Pickles Inks for the leaves using a combination of my TE Detail Blender Brush and my TE Bitty Blender Brushes. 

I die cut the images with the Nature's Canvas Dies, which are available for purchase separately. Behind the flower I added a panel of Sugar Cube Cardstock that I lightly blended with Cupcake Ink and die cut with the Talking In Circles Piercing Plate Die. 

I framed the card with the Frame in Frame 2 Cutting Plate and used Mulled Wine Cardstock for the card base. I also added a few Bits & Pieces: White Foil Dots. 

The sentiments on my cards are stamped with the Timeless Greetings Stamp Set, which is included in the cardmaking kit. I die cut the sentiment with the coordinating Timeless Greetings Dies, that are available for purchase separately. 

For my second card I created a mini slim card with another image from the Nature's Canvas Stamp Set. The background is embossed with the Sweet Squares 6 x 6 Embossing Folder. I used Sugar Cube Cardstock and blended Cupcake Ink over the embossing and splattered white paint. 

I added a strip of Raspberry Sorbet Cardstock at the bottom with the Easy Strips - 1/2" Stitched Dies. This sentiment is also included in the Timeless Greeting Stamp Set. 

I used the Little Bits - Butterflies Dies to added the three butterflies. I added vellum over Raspberry Sorbet Cardstock.
