You're TEERIFIC!

I am popping in today to share a few products from the new release at Taylored Expressions. It's the For Him Release. Father's Day is coming up and I know I never have enough masculine birthday cards in my stash. I have four son-in-laws! So I happy to have these new products in my craft room. But really the products are not just for the guys. I have a of female friends who love to golf, barbecue, and maybe have a beer! 

First up is a look at the golf themed products. I started by creating the golf cart using the Golf Cart Die. I used Bleu Cheese Cardstock with TE Silver Foil and Black Glossy Cardstock. Next I cut a piece of Peapod Cardstock for the card front and stamped the previously released Cork Background Stamp with Peapod Ink and die cut with the Par for the Course Cutting Plate. 

Next I used the Par for the Course Layering Stencil to create the grass, sand, and water. Then I layered the die cut card front over the stenciled background. Included in the Par for the Course Cutting Plate are the dies to add the flags and trees. 

The sentiment is from the Fore You Stamps Set and die cut with the Fore You Dies. 

My next card is for all the Grill Master's in our lives. I created the grill with the Hot off the Grill Dies.I love the details of the barbecue tools and mustard and ketchup bottles. There is another option for creating the grill with flames. 

To create the frame I stamped the Chill & Grill Background Stamp with Versamark Ink on Blueberry Cardstock and then embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. Then the used the A2 Layer Stacklets Die Set to cut out the middle of the frame and mat with Licorice Cardstock.  I stenciled on Sugar Cube Cardstock with the Set the Scene - Clouds Stencil Strips and the  Set the Scene Stencil Strips – Hills and added the background behind the grill. 

This sentiment is part of the Grill Master Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. 

Happy crafting! Stop by the TE Blog for all the details on the new products, and more inspiration from the team.

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!
