Taylored Expressions Day 2 Sneak Peeks: Love is An Adventure and Peek-A-Boo Hearts

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the second day of the December 2015 Release from Taylored Expressions!! I am so excited to show you this card that I made using all new dies from this release!!! I love making cards using just dies - it is so fun to create a whole card with just putting dies together! I also used the new embossing folder: Paisley - its so elegant when used with the Metallic Neutrals cardstock:


Here is a close up of the card - the Peek-A-Boo die cuts out four hearts together and I die cut some cream (Metallic Neutrals cardstock) and chevron red (Rainbow Brights paperpack 6x6) hearts to put in the center and then added some embellishments to the hearts for a little extra something :) I also used the new Picture Perfect Valentine photoframe for the Love You sentiment on the bottom. I added some twine to the ends and a banner from the Skinny Mini Valentine Borders for a little extra fancy whimsy :) 

Taylored Dies and Folders: Peek- A- Boo Heart dies, Skinny Mini Valentine Border dies, Picture Perfect Valentine die and Paisley Embossing Folder

Paper Pack: TE 6x6 Rainbow Brights paper pack

For my second card - I am so excited to show this super cute card that I made using the new stamp set: Love is An Adventure - I loved this darling plane with hearts coming out - so in love! I created a little sky scene using the Cloud Border die for both the sponging and for creating layers of clouds:


Here is a closer peek at this plane - love the coordinating dies to this stamp set that makes it so simple and precise to cut out these images! I colored it with copics (I would love to have a pink plane!) and then added a little gloss to the plane for a little fun :)

Taylored Expressions: DEC 2015 Release Day 1: Skinny Mini Valentine Borders and Pizza of My Life

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the December 2015 Release from Taylored Expressions!! OMGosh - this has got to be one of my favorite releases!! I absolutely had a blast making every single one of my cards for release week and I can't wait to peek them starting today!!

My first card is made using ALL new dies!!! I used the new Skinny Mini Valentine Border dies to create the background with various shades of pinks and reds and purples and then used the new Stitched Heart Stacklets dies to create a heart cut out that I hung the new Love - Be Mine Borders dies in the middle of the heart - I absolutely LOVE how this turned out:


Card Ingredients:
Taylored Dies and Folders: Skinny Mini Valentine Border dies, Stitched Heart Stacklets dies , Love - Be Mine Borders dies
Premium Cardstock:, Salt Water Taffy, Sugar Cube, Earl Grey Tea, Cupcake and Lavender Glaze
Paper Pack: TE 6x6 Hello Happiness paper Pack (soft pink DP with polkadots)
Accessories: Bling, Foam Tape, Best Glue Ever, Photo Corner chomoer and Pico Inkessential Shimmer



I love these dies - SO so SO cute and love all the different kinds of banners - perfect for Valentine's Day and beyond!! I kept using these dies for my second card that I made using the super cute stamp set: Pizza of My Heart (What a cute name!!) and I created a little line of Lattes (what a great way to start the day but with a line of lattes waiting for you at work! yes please!) - I absolutely love that this set is a combo of dies and stamps and makes it perfect for die cutting all these images perfect each time!! I love this:


I colored the lattes and then put them on a strip of the new Swiss Hearts Embossing Folder - and then added a banner above with some stickles for bling and some hearts all around!! So fun!


Here is another view of all the coffee cups in a row -- I added a little swirl of faux embossing near the sentiment for a little whimsy - love love love these cute lattes!! Mmmm can't wait to have one now!!
