I started with the Dad Dies which die cuts the different color strips of cardstock to spell out Dad. I used True Black, Classic Kraft, Gold, Enchanted Evening Cardstock. 

Next I put together the briefcase with the Build-A-Briefcase Dies and added a sentiment from the previously released Father's Day Sentiments Stamp Set.

I stencil the background on Stamper's Select White Cardstock with Mint Julep, Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist, Tropical Teal Inks, and Smokey Shadow Inks. I die cut the center of the stenciled card front with the Love to Layer: Torn Edges Dies. I used foam tape to add the die cut back into the center of the card.

The For Him Release at Taylored Expressions

The new release at Taylored Expressions this week is all about the men in our lives and  the new Dreamscape Collection that can be used for many different occasions. The products are available now in the TE Store. 

First up is a look at the new Dreamscape Collection that included the Dreamscapes Layering Stencil, Additional Arch Nouveau Dies, Arch Dreamscapes Stamp Set, Ridged Arch Nouveau Die Set, Arch Windowpanes Die Set, and the Arch Interactive Window Die. 

Dreamscapes Layering Stencil creates four beautiful, peaceful scenes making it perfect for so many different occasions. 

Here I stamped the background with the Fine Diamond Background Stamp with Toffee Ink on Toffee Cardstock. You can see how I used the Ridged Arch Nouveau Die Set to add the detail around the frame. 

The sentiment is from the new Perfect Pennant - Dad Clear Stamp Set.  I splattered paint on the background and added the twine. 

On my second card on used the Arch Windowpanes Die to add the windowpane. Here I used a Foil It - Dreamscape panel with the Dreamscape Stencil. I used TE Champagne Foil. 

For this background I used the Pinstripe 6x6 Background Stamp with Blue Corn Ink on Sugar Cube Cardstock. 

The sentiment is stamped with the Hello Lovely stamp set. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with  Champagne Embossing Powder. 

My next two cards feature the Mega Messages - You're the Best Die and the Create-n-Quads Pattern Playground Stencil. The Create-n-Quads Pattern Playground Stencil creates for different background panels. Here I used Rock Candy, Honey, Blueberry, and Brussels Spout Inks but the color combos are endless!

The Mega Messages - You're the Best Die Set consists of two dies, one for the sentiment and one for the shadow background. I die cut the sentiment three times and glued the layers together to add the extra depth. 

For the Father's Day sentiment I used the Foil It - Perfect Pennant Dad, foiling with Blueberry Foil and die cutting with the Perfect Pennant - Dad dies. The die set also includes the stars I added to the card. 

On my second card I used the You're the Best Shadow die  to die cut directly into the card front. I added Salt Water Taffy Cardstock behind the die cut. 

This sentiment is also created with the Foil It - Perfect Pennant Dad, foiling with Blueberry Foil and die cut with the Perfect Pennant - Dad dies. The fingers are die cut with the new Little Bits Die Set - Football.

The For Him Release at Taylored Expressions

The For Him Release at Taylored Expressions

Thanks for stopping by today! I have three cards to share with you that I created with new products from the For Him Release from Taylored Expressions. The release is a fun mix of products to create cards for the men in your life as well as a few versatile products that can be used throughout the year. 

My first card features the Wood Slice 6 x 6 Background Stamp. I love all the detail on the stamp. I stamped in Toffee Ink on Toffee Cardstock, cut the wood slice in half, and handcuff the edges. 

I decided to make a birthday card for my brother who loves the outdoors and exploring the National Parks.   I used the previously released Serene Scenes - Camping Additions and Landscapes Vol. 2. Once I had the scene laid out I used the Rounded Rectangle Stacklets to die cut scene for the card front.

I added the sentiments with the Happy Camper Stamp Set and the Mini Strips - Birthday Stamp Set. 

My next card is created with the 5 O'Clock Somewhere Stamp and Stencil Combo, the 5 O'Clock Somewhere Dies, and the Worth A Shot Stamp Set and coordinating dies. So fun! 

I started by cutting a piece of Peaches n' Cream Cardstock to fit the card front. Next I used the Bubbly Stencil with Peaches n' Cream, Rose Water, and Raspberry Sorbet Inks. After I stenciled with the ink I added a coat of TE Happy Medium - Iridescent Glitter to add a little sparkle to my bubbles. 

After I stenciled the cocktails I added a few more details with Olo Markers. Then I added the sentiment to the center of the card. 

Next up is a look at the Pocketful Dies. There are a number of options available to fill up the pocket, including glasses, pens and pencils, and tool. If you purchase the Pocketful Bundle you will receive the Pocketful of Posies Die that I used on my card. I added the promotion details below. 

I die cut the pocket from Bleu Cheese Cardstock, highlighted the stitching with a white gel pen and then added the flowers and greenery. 

The background is stamped with the Plaid Background Stamp in Bleu Cheese Ink. There are four new background stamps being released. I added a strip of vellum down the center of card and add a few Yellow Glitter Drops. The little tag on the side of the pocket is included in the Pocketful Die Set. I stamped a sentiment from the Itty Bitty Sentiments on the tag. The larger sentiment is from the Sundry Sentiments Stamp Set.

The Pocketful Bundle is $73 and includes:

• Pocketful die
• Plaid Background stamp
• Tools of the Trade die set
• First Draft die set

While supplies last, when you purchase the Pocketful Bundle, you'll receive Pocketful of Posies dies set FREE!

Thanks for stopping by for Day 4 of the Papertrey Ink April Release Countdown. I have two more cards to share with you today that are all about Dad. All the new products will be available on tomorrow, April 30th at 10 PM ET.  

My first card features the new Hats Off to Dad Stamps and Dies and the Perfect Strips Stencil. I die cut the hat from Blueberry Sky Cardstock and then blended Enchanted Evening and Dark Indigo Inks. I used a white gel pen to highlight the stitching.

The heart is included in the Hats Off to Dad Stamp Set and the larger sentiment is included in the new Father's Day Sentiments Stamp Set. I used the Reflections: April Dies to die cut the center section. 

The striped background is stenciled with the Perfect Stripes Stencil with Enchanted Evening and True Black Ink. 

My next card features the Father's Day Sentiments Stamps and Die along with the new Argyle Stencils. I like the Argyle pattern. I stenciled with Ocean Tides, Spring Rain, and Enchanted Evening Ink. I used the Reflections: April Dies again to die cut the center portion and mount the sentiment.
