A Sneak Peek at the new Patriotic Release From Taylored Expressions.

Hi and thanks for stopping by! Today I am sharing a sneak peak at the new Patriotic Release from Taylored Expressions. All the new products will be available tomorrow, June 2nd at 9 AM CST in the TE Store. One of things I love about this release is the products are perfect for the 4th of July and versatile enough to be used throughout the year!!

My card today features the new Pennant Parade Cling and Clear Combo. The background stamp is a cling rubber stamp and the and there are five clear stamps to stamp the different patterned flags. The set is perfect for all kinds of celebrations! 

Here are the steps I used to create the background. I started this card by cutting a piece of Sugar Cube Cardstock for the card front using the Stitched Rectangle Die. Next I stamped the Pennant Parade background with Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. Then using my TE Blender Brushes and Confetti Cake Ink with Set the Scene - Clouds Stencil I lightly added clouds to the background. Then I stamped the flags in Confetti Cake, Blue Raspberry, Potato Chip, Lime Zest, and Guava Ink. 

I used the Celebrate Script Die with Lime Zest Cardstock to die cut the word celebrate. The second sentiment is stamped with the Simple Strips - Birthday Stamp Set, die cut with the Simple Strips Die, and backed with the Simple Strips Backer Die. I finished off the card with a few Snow Flurries Sequins. 

Stop by the TE Blog for all the details on the new products and inspiration from the rest of the Design Team. I will be back tomorrow with a look at more of the new goodies!

A Sneak Peek at the new Patriotic Release From Taylored Expressions.

A Happy Hello with Pretty Pink Posh

Hi and thanks for stopping by today! The weather is so pretty in San Diego today. Definitely lifts the spirit! I have a card with a yellow and black color scheme to share that I created with products from Pretty Pink Posh. I have been trying to mix up my color combos.

These pretty flowers are from the Wild Rose Stamp Set, and one of my favorite PPP florals. I stamped the flowers and leaves  in Versamark Ink on watercolor paper and then embossed with white embossing powder. I watercolored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I used the Wild Rose Coordinating Dies to die cut.  See links below. 

The sentiment is die cut from black Cardstock with the Hello Friend Script Die. I cut a rectangular panel for the center of the card and placed the flowers and leaves over and under the panel. I finished off the card with PPP Pearl White Jewels. 

Have a great day and thanks for taking a look!

A Happy Hello with Pretty Pink Posh

Amazing Father

Hi! I have another card to share today from the new Taylored Expressions Father's Day and Dog Lovers Release. You can find all the new products HERE. My card today is perfect for Father's Day.

I went with a simple color scheme of Toffee, Blue Corn, and Buttercream and a touch of gold embossing. All the products I used to create this card are linked below. 

This background is stenciled with the new Plaid Layered Stencil. This is a set of two stencils and I think the possibilities are endless. I cut a piece of Toffee Cardstock to fit the card front and then stenciled the pattern with my TE Blender Brushes and Toffee and Blue Corn Ink. 

The sentiment is from the new Brushstrokes Basics Stamp Set and I used the Sentiment Stacker 2 to die cut and frame the sentiment. "Father" is from the new Building Blocks - Him Stamp Set and die cut with the Building Block Die. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. 

Here is the inside of the card. I stamped one of the great sentiments in the new Inside Scoop - For Him Stamp Set. This sentiment is just perfect for my husband who is a father to four strong women! This a great sentiment set!

Amazing Father

You're an Amazing Friend!

Hi! I have really been trying to send out more of my cards. I miss my friends so much and want them to know it! Today a card to share I just sent to a friends with some perfect products from Pretty Pink Posh. 

I love this sweet hedgehog from the Hedgehog Friends Stamp Set. I stamped the Hedgehog, the flowers, and foliage in black ink  I colored with Copic Markers, and then die cut with the Hedgehog Friends Coordinating Dies. (you can all the links below)

I decided to go with a gingham background that I stenciled with the Wide Stripes Stencil. I used the stencil vertically and then turned it horizontally. This is a nice way to get more use out of you stripped stencils. 

Next I die cut the Hugs Shaker Die twice, once directly into the card front, and once from a pale aqua Cardstock, that I inlayed back into the front die cut. I added the stamped images around the circle and along with a sentiment from the Hedgehog Friends Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I finished off the card with a few Sparkling Clear Jewels.

Thanks for taking a look!

I started by stamping the Treetops Background Stamp in Oreo Ink and colored with Copic Markers. To add the texture to the tree I added a little Copic Blending Fluid to a piece of Terry cloth and dabbed the terry cloth over the Copics. I love the effect, just start out lightly so you don't remove too much of the color. Then I die cut the tree and the swing with the Treetops Edger and Swing Dies. 

I stamped the colored the sweet owl from the Swinging By Stamp Set and die cut with Swinging By Dies.  I used a combination of foam, foam circles, and the On the Right Track Discs to allow the swing to move from right to left. You can watch a video on how the TE Foam Circles and On the Right Track Discs are used to create this interactive card HERE. 

I die cut the grass with the Build a Scene - Grassy Hills Die. In the center of the grass I stamped a sentiment from the new Swinging By Stamp Set in Versamark Ink and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. The butterflies are die cut with the Little Bits - Butterflies.

Hi Friends! I have been enjoying creating a few long card lately. Today I a long card to share that I created with products from Pretty Pink Posh. I used the Wild Rose Stamp Set as the focal point of my card. It is one of my favorite PPP flower stamp sets!

To create the background I cut a piece of white cardstock for the front of the card. You can use a standard size business envelope to give or mail the card. I used the Triangles Stencil with light yellow ink and a blender brush to add the pattern. 

The sentiment is from the Thoughtful Greetings Stamp Set and matted with the Scallop Circle Tags Dies die cut from black cardstock. I added Lemon Drop Jewels to the center of the flowers and a few more scattered around.
