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.

It's the Summer Release at Taylored Expressions

Florals and Flutters

It is the last Tuesday of the month and time for a new cardmaking kit at Taylored Expressions. This month's kit is named Florals and Flutter. Along with the pretty Florals and Flutter Background Stamp and Stencil there are the Happy Square Sheets! These sturdy, laminated 6 x 6 in. sheets are designed to help you get more from every stamped or stenciled panel. Simply follow the cutting guides printed right on the sheet to transform one panel into 3 to 5 focal points for coordinating card fronts.

For my first two cards with the Florals and Flutters Cardmaking Kit I used one of the Happy Half Sheet cards for inspiration. The Happy Half Sheet card gives you the measurement for cutting your stenciled panel and along with color inspiration. 

I used the colors suggested on the card, Guava, Oat Milk, Peaches n' Cream, and Spearmint. 

I used the Florals and Flutters Stamp and Stencil Combo to created the patterned paper. I stamped in Oreo Ink and then stenciled in the colors I listed above. I attached the two stenciled strips to Guava Cardstock that I die cut with the Stitched A2 Layer Stacklets Die Set and matted with the Petite Scallop Rectangle Stacklets. 

The background is stenciled with the Take Two - Beads and Blooms Stencil. I used Oak Milk Cardstock and stenciled with Spearmint Ink. 

Here is my second layout. The sentiments on my cards are from the More Sundry Sentiments Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. 

I added Guava Enamel Dots to the centers of some of the flowers. 

On my next project I used the stenciled background for the card front. Here I stamped in Oreo Ink and stenciled with Papaya, Confetti Cake, Rock Candy, and Granny Smith Inks. 

In the center of card I added a small rectangle of vellum and created the vase and flowers with the Petal Party Dies. I die cut the butterfly with the Flit & Flutter Butterflies Die Set. I added Rock Candy Glitter Drops to the centers of the flowers. 

The sentiment is from the new Softly Spoken Stamp Set, which is sold separately.

Papertrey Ink February Release Countdown Day 4

Timeless Blooms

It is Throwback Thursday at Taylored Expressions! The Create-in-Quad Layering Stencil – Timeless Blooms is back! The Timeless Bloom Stencil creates four unique but coordinated panels all at once. And there are new products to coordinate! 

I created a set of four cards with the Timeless Bloom Stencil. I used a combination of Lavender Glaze, Popsicle, Plum Punch, Mint Julep, Cilantro, and Brussels Sprout Inks. 

I added the background texture to each card with the new Quilted Cutting Plate Die. I love the detail of the added texture and am sure I will reach for this Cutting Plate often! 

All the sentiments are from the Together in Type Stamp & Die Combo. Here I added a strip of vellum so that the sentiment stood out from the background. 

Here are the next two cards. I used Bits & Pieces Plum Punch Glitter Drops on all of my cards to add a little sparkle. 

On this card I die cut a small rectangle from the center of the card, framed it with the one of the smaller A2 Large Scallop Stacklets for some added detail. 

This card is framed with the largest die in the A2 Large Scallop Stacklets. The backgrounds of my cards are lightly splattered with  Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White Watercolor. 

Thanks for taking a look. Stop by the TE Blog for all the details and more inspiration from the team.
