Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks Day 2 - Rose Bouquet, Bloomin’ Stacklets 3 + Bloomin’ Accessories

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the second day of sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions! Spring is definitely in the air and I was influenced by the springy colors, while creating these cards today! 

For my first card I used the previously released stamp set: Petite Rose Bouquet with the soon to be released coordinating die. The sentiment for the card comes from the Picture Perfect - Celebrate dies. I colored the roses my favorite color of roses: orangish/yellowish colors - or as I like to call them: "SunRise Roses"! It all started many years ago when my husband (before he was my husband) sent me a postcard with these sunrise roses and ever since then - they have been my favorite color roses. I colored the roses and vases with copics and then covered it with a glaze:


Here is a closer peek at the roses andvase - I just love these colors together!!



Here is a another peek at the flowers and the glaze on the vase - I just love how this turned out!! I was thinking to give this as either a happy birthday card or even as a graduation card - I just love how this turned out!!!


Card Ingredients:
Premium Cardstock: Poppy Seed, Sugar Cube, Pumpkin and Peapod
Taylored Dies: Circle Stacklets and Stitched Circle stacklets, Dream 
Accessories: Pink Button, Burlap Twine – May Arts, Best Glue Ever, Glue Dots, Pico Irresistible  - Wedding Dress, foam dimensional Tape

For my second card, I used the second frame from the Picture Perfect - Celebrate die that says "Celebrate". This card has NO stamping OR coloring - just die cuts!! I die cut the Bloomin' 3 stacklets and accessories and then layered the felt down on top of each other. I used different colored Taylored Felt colors to die cut the different colors of the Bloomin 3  Stacklets and Accessories. 


Here is another close up of the different layers cut out of Taylored Felt - to the top, I added a button with twine attached by and then added a leaf to the side! Love all the dimension and colors of this card!!

Card Ingredients:

Premium Cardstock: Poppy Seed, Earl Grey and Sugar Cube, Pumpkin
Taylored Felts: Lip Gloss, Tiffany, Butter, Aqua Mist, Avocado, Grass Green
Taylored Dies: Bloomin Stacklets 3 + Accessories and Picture Perfect -Celebrate
