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.

The Second Chance Release

It's the Summer Release at Taylored Expressions

There is a new release at Taylored Expressions today and it is all about Summer. There are two bundles to choose from, Beach Bound and Coastal Collage. All the new products are available now in the TE Store. 

My first card features products from the Beach Bound Bundle. The new Beach Bound Die Set creates this cute beach bag along with the flip flops, sunglasses, and hat. The florals are die cut with the new Garden Variety - Tropical Blooms. I listed the ink and cardstock colors I used below. 

I just love the new Wave Edges Dies. There are two dies in the set that die cut the ocean foam and waves. I love the look! I used the Here Comes the Sun Stencil to add the sun filled sky. 

The sentiment if from the Endless Summer Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. 

Next is a look at the Coastal Collage Bundle. First I stamped the Gallery Wall Background Stamp on Sugar Cube Cardstock with Sour Gummy Ink.

Next I used the Coastal Vibe Stamp Set and coordinating Coastal Vibe Dies to add the images inside each frame. Some of the images are stamped and some of the images are stamped and die cut. This add some fun dimension to the card. 

The sentiment is from the Sunny Saying Stamp Set. I stamped Versamark Ink on Sour Gummy Cardstock and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. I finished off the card with a few Tiki Mule Enamel Dots.

Adventure Awaits

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.

There are many options for sentiments in the set. I added twine to the top of each card.
