Taylored Expressions Nov 2016 Sneak Peeks - Life is a Kitchen Tags and Scene

Hi  Everyone!

Welcome to first day of sneak peeks from the Taylored Expressions November Release!!! This release is so packed with such cute dies, stamps and ideas to share joy!

My first card is from the Life is a Kitchen stamp set - this set has these adorable kitchen images and absolutely awesome sentiments! I created a little kitchen scene with some of the images in this set by stamping the flour, sugar jars and bowl and then die cutting them with the coordinating Life is a Kitchen dies:

I made the table using the new Basket Weave Cutting plate that allows you to create a basket weaved pattern - and I used the papers from the Build A Scene paperpack for both the table and the wallpaper. I want a sign like this in my kitchen: "you only live once, lick the bowl" -- LOVE it!!! So I created a little picture frame using the new Stitched Rectangular Stacklets and then "hung" it with some twine and a brad:

The floor is made using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder - I just loved creating this indoor scene :) so much fun!

For my second project, I created a set of 4 tags using the sentiments in this same stamp set, along with the Eventful - In the Kitchen die that cuts out these super cute silhouettes of different kitchen appliances. This comes as a border, which I die cut out in different cardstock colors and then trimmed them to fit the dimensions of the Build A Tag 2 die base. 

These sentiments are so perfect for so many occasions - here is a closer peek:

Hi Everyone,

The Taylored Expressions Challenge Blog: Share Joy has a great challenge - both a sketch and color challenge - you can use both or you can just use one - I choose just the sketch - and added an element or two (an extra sentiment panel. I love the Grumplings - Christmas stamp set -- these cute grumplings just crack me UP! Now, if you have seen the movie Frozen - then you know the song: "Do you want to build a snowman?"... I know it very well because my daughter sings this song alllllll the time... I mean alllllll the time!!! When I saw this sentiment - I just had to laugh --- haha and couldn't wait to make a card from this set:

I started with the elements of this sketch and then added a raised platform to the circular panel containing the grumpy kitty :) and then added some Snowflake Confetti - Little Bits here and there

Card ingredients:
Stamp set: Grumplings- Christmas stamp set from Taylored Expressions 
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black and Memento Love Letter
Cardstock: Cherry Pop (TE), Toffee (TE), Sugar Cube (TE), Salt Water Taffy (TE), Basil Pesto (TE), Build A Scene - Christmas
Taylored Dies: Snowflake Confetti - Little Bits dies, Stitched Circle Stacklets, Rainbow Scallop Border

Loved playing along with this sketch and I can't wait to Share Joy by sharing this card with my fellow friend who also has a daughter who LOVES this song and I am sure can get a chuckle from this card!!! I love this challenge and the way it encourages us all to share the cards we make and spread and share joy!!

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #291 - We Make the Perfect Blen

Happy Sunday! Hope that you have been having a great weekend! Sunday means its time for another awesome Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge sketch! YAY! So stay in your jammies grab a cup of coffee and join in for some crafty fun :)  

Here is our sketch (#291) for this week: Love these little flower elements around the sentiment - so many options as to what those flowers could be - I chose to make my three flower elements from the sketch: two coffee cups and a heart.

For my card today, I used the Joe To Go stamp and die combo from Taylored Expressions - I love the matching dies that makes it easy to add different coffee cozies to the main coffee cup! I die cut them and then ran them thru a crimper and then added some red and yellow stickles to the center of the heart and star in the center of the cup - and then added some steam with bling:

I love how this card turned out - here is a close up of it:
