Taylored Expressions Release...

 Today, Taylored Expressions is releasing the products from some of their past kits.  Today, I have a card using some of the stamps and dies from the Happy Hex Kit! 


Taylored Expressions



This card was so easy to create, I picked cardstock in rainbow colors and die cut each of them using the Happy Hex Dies from the kit.  I lined them up on a white card base leaving a few black spaces.  From the little clear stamp set called Happy Hex, I added in the striped lines and the sentiment in black ink.

Thanks for coming by today!  Hope you are having a great week!

Taylored Expressions Stamp Joy Exclusives...

 Good morning friends!  I am here with a quick card, sharing one of Taylored Expressions Stamp Joy Exclusives that is now available for purchase.  This stamp set is ADORABLE!!  It's called Social Butterflies.  Check out this quick and simple card I made with just the stamps from this set...


Taylored Expressions


To create this card, I used the lined image in the set to create a grass edge.  Next, I blended in the same Lime Zest ink I used just to create a blended look along the bottom.  Using Cookie Monster ink, I blended along the top to add a little sky color.  I scored a 1/2"frame on the top and sides of the card just for a little embossed detail.  I used some black ink to stamp the sentiment on the card front and then stamped the butterflies with their coordinating clear stamps.  I used a little Copic marker to add some darker details to the wings. 


Taylored Expressions


One more little great tip of the day!!  Need a new Liquid Glue?




Taylored Expressions now carries my FAVORITE LIQUID GLUE of all time!! Bearly Arts Precision Craft Glue. You guys?  I love this stuff!!!  I used to to add the Clear Drops to finish off today's card!


Check out the rest of today's new release over at the Taylored Expressions Shop! 

Hope you have a great day!

Thank You {Spellbinders}...

Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System is always coming out with new and fun plates.  I adore the look of clean lines with a stationary look.  
The new Essential Duo Lines Rectangle Glimmer Plates are perfect for that look!  


Spellbinders


I used Black Foil to add a little shine to the card front and then layered it with my favorite Sketchbook Roses from The Greetery.  I added in one of Yana's Special Sentiments in gold foil.  I finished the card off with some black gems.  Super easy!!


Spellbinders


_____________________________________



Are you new to hot foiling?


Spellbinders has a platform called Glimmer Hot Foil System.  This platform heats up metal plates called Glimmer Plates.  These glimmer plates come in ALL different types....sentiments, florals, backgrounds, graphic details etc....and add the most gorgeous foiling detail to your cards.  And the foils?  There are LOTS of different colors to chose from!


Here are some links to help point you in the right direction....






The Glimmer Hot Foil System works great with a Platinum 6 Die Cut machine from Spellbinders but also works with other die cut machines. You can click HERE to see a compatibility chart.  


So once the platform and your glimmer plate heat up, you add in the foil and the cardstock and run in thorough your die cut machine.  Once you pull off the foil negative, the magic happens!  That foil that is set on your cardstock is just gorgeous!

Taylored Expressions Masking Stencil Add-On Release...

Have you seen today's release at Taylored Expressions?  It is AMAZING!! There are new stencils which are add-ons to the already amazing Masking Stencils!!  Let me show you a few of the new products!


This first card uses the new Diagonal Stitched Rectangle Stacklets.  These dies cut the most adorable little stitched line around the Rectangle Masking Stencil.   (Fun Fact:  The already released Masking Stencils are 15% off!)  To create this little scene, I blended in some ink around the Rectangle Masking Stencil and then added a cute little gnome and sentiment.  I finished it off by popping up a little cloud die!


Taylored Expressions


This next card uses the Rectangle Masking Stencil and the NEW Scalloped Rectangle Masking Stencil.  I added detail to the card using the floral set called Fresh Picked Florals. I added the sentiment from Handlettered Alpha.  I just love this font!!


Taylored Expressions


This last card was hard to photograph but it showcases the new Scalloped Slimline Masking Stencil.  I added some yellow clouds to the fun scalloped center and then popped up my favorite rainbow dies!

It's Release Day at The Greetery!

 



Today is release day!  Everything will be live and ready to shop over at The Greetery at 10am EST!  I had so much fun yesterday on the IG Live, sharing all the new goodies.  I decided to make a card out of some of the things I stamped and die cut.  

Lots of people have asked and yes there is an "I want it all" button so you can shop the complete collection in one step!  

Click HERE for the complete Spring Fever Collection!


This super simple card uses the new Crimped Circle Dies and blooms from the Print Shop: Floral Frame...

The Greetery


To create this card, I die 2 of the Crimped Frames and popped them up on foam tape.  I used a hello sentiment from the Hoop Wreath Set to keep it simple. 


The Greetery


Next, I grabbed 2 of the blooms from the Floral Frames set and popped them up on foam tape. I finished the card off with some tiny clear drops for a little bling.


The Greetery

Taylored Expressions Exclusive Release....




Hi friends!  I am here today with a few new projects that were made with some past,  Taylored Expressions Exclusives.  They are now available for purchase over at the TE shop.


This first card uses the Art from the Heart Background.  This stamp is AWESOME!!!  To create this card, I heat embossed with white embossing powder onto a piece of patterned paper.  I added to a card front and then finished it off with my favorite TE Hello die!


Taylored Expressions


I wanted to use the background again, so this time I made a tag.  This sentiment is from the set Handmade Humor.  This set is full of sentiments that are so fun and will definitely make you chuckle!  I added in a ribbon top and some buttons to give it a little extra detail. 


Taylored Expressions


Ok so I used Art from the Heart on this card too.  I couldn't help it!  This time I used it in a super pale gray so its more of a watermark on the card front.  I used the sentiment from the set called Big Thanks.  I loved the polka dot sentiment but I wanted it to stand out a little so I simply hand traced it with a thin black marker.  I stamped the "a note of" from the same set.  To finish off the card, I added it to a coral card base with just a little color peeking out around the 2 sides.


Taylored Expressions


These past exclusive sets are so fun and would be awesome in your crafty stash!



Taylored Expressions
