Hi folks, 

I am back with another fun release from TE... if you love, Halloween this is for you! There are so many ways in which you can combine this release with all past releases.. that's how versatile this release is! 

My first card is for all the critter lovers out there! I first stamped and colored a bunch of images from Spooktacular and the new Millie's Haunted Halloween stamp sets. I then stamped On the Block - Boo using Blue Raspberry dye ink and cut the last 'O' so that I could place a cute ghost in between. Later, I ink blended the top half of an A2 sized Plum Punch cardstock using Eggplant and Plum Punch Dye inks. As always, I splattered some white paint! Finally, arrange all the images around the 'Boo' and heat emboss a sentiment from  Millie's Haunted Halloween to finish it off!

Hi folks, 

I am back with another fun kit from TE! I honestly had so much fun with this kit because it is so easy to mass produce cards...I tried making two different cards - one super easy to reproduce and one maybe not so easy? LOL 

I love my first card because it screams me - vibrant and colored cardstock! I tried using the emboss resist technique for the first time. I first started off by heat embossing the Merry Blooms stamp using clear embossing powder on Granny Smith Cardstock. I then ink blended the cardstock using Sweet Basil ink. To remove the ink on the embossed parts, I wiped the ink using a damp cloth and sometimes also used my clear copic marker! Later, I die cut the poinsettia using watermelon and cherry pop cardstock and ink blended the edges using fruit punch and mulled wine dye ink! I then heat embossed the details of the poinsettia using gold embossing powder. Finally, I heat embossed a sentiment from the set using white embossing powder and added details using a white gel pen!

I think my next card is easily reproducible... at least that was my intention! I first cut a white cardstock smaller than A2 diagonally. I then stamped the leaves using Blue Raspberry and Granny Smith dye inks. Then, I stenciled the poinsettias using Jelly Donut and Lollipop dye inks. I stamped the sentiments using Jelly Donut and Lollipop in the empty spaces. If I felt like there was a bit too much white space, I used the clear stamps to stamp in any additional leaves. Once I finished the card, I didn't exactly like the toffee cardstock showing in between the diagonal cuts... I regretted cutting it for a bit! In order to cover it, I added a heat embossed sentiment on Blue Raspberry cardstock to cover it up!

That's to folks! I hope you liked the inspiration with this new release... See ya soon!

Hi folks, 

Taylored Expressions has a new release out but it's not cardmaking! It's a collection of fun dies that allow you to create gorgeous one of a kind earrings in seconds. I love stretching my supplies so I went an extra mile and created some fancy earrings by using thin balsa wood (available at any craft store... you could also stack multiple die cuts). 

In general, I made them by coloring the wood using alcohol makers (metallic markers for the gold!) and heat embossing them using white embossing powder or stamping using dye ink. I didn't have any varnish at hand to make them waterproof but you could also use Mod Podge or Glossy Accents. I also don't plan on doing deep sea diving with these earring so I just left them as is!

Hi folks, 

Taylored Expressions has a fun new release out and it is all about the mini slimline cards! This release has so many fun critters and dies that can be used with A2 size as well...

My first card is a fruit cocktail themed card made using the new Tutti Frutti card! I first started of by stamping and coloring a bunch of fruits from the set. I then ink blended an A2 cardstock with Peaches and Cream dye ink and stamped the Ticks and Tack background using the same ink. Then, I created a shaker element out of the mason jar stamp die set and ink blended the inside using Cookie Monster and Mint Julep inks. For the straw, I simply cut a strip of cardstock and added red stripes using a red alcohol marker. I added a sentiment from the Tutti Frutti set to finish it off!

My next card uses the new Toucan Do It stamp set to create a mini slimline card (it is a bit longer than 6"). I first ink blended Sugar Cube cardstock using Lollipop, Candy Corn and Pineapple dye inks. I then stenciled using the Tropical Leaves stencil on top using the same inks. Later, I stamped and colored images from from the Toucan Do It and It's a Jungle background. Finally, I heat embossed a sentiment from the set to finish it off!

That's all I have got for this release! I hope you enjoyed it as much I loved creating with it...

Hi folks, 

Taylored Expressions has a fun new kit out... if you like puns, this one is for you! I have two very different cards for this release! Here’s everything included the Very Cherry Kit– which is available for $65:

My first card is super simple to recreate. I first started off by masking the bottom half of the background stamp and then stamping it on some Sugar Cube cardstock using Oreo ink. I then stamped the 'inner portion' of the cherries at an offset by using various ink colors to create a graphic look! I then simply added 'HI' by using the Cap it Off Alpha dies and another sentiment from the kit. Finally, I trimmed the edges and matted it on some Toffee cardstock to finish it off. 

Taylored Expressions has a new release out and its all about summer which I am waiting for - impatiently! Also, we have a new glitter collection... if you like sparkle, this is for you! Let's get started shall we?!

My first card uses the new Anything's Popsicle Stencil, Clear Stamp and Die set! It's a punny card for a father :) I first started off by ink blending a bunch of popsicles using Lollipop, Candy Corn, Granny Smith, Pineapple, Cookie Monster and Jelly Donut Inks. I then used the Glitter Grab to apply some 'sprinkles' and 'dipping'. I then sprinkled some Pearl glitter on top. Then, I used the Rainbow cutting plate to create a fun 'rainbow' background. Later, I created a the word 'Pops' using Cap It Alpha die and some glitter cardstock. Finally, I added some sentiments from Mini Strips - You are the Best to finish off the card!

Hi folks. 

I am back on the blog with another fun release from TE and it's all about celebrating America! My first card combines a bunch of new products in creative ways. I first started off by stenciling the Starstruck stencil on Toffee cardstock using Sugar Cube ink. I then heat embossed the Full Circle - Patriotic stamp on a die cut USA map (Land of the Free die!). Later, I die cut the stars from the Starstruck set using Cherry Pop and Sugar Cube cardstock and finished it off by adding a sentiment from Full Circle Patriotic! Fun Fact: The sentiments fit perfectly in the Mini Strips and Simple Strips dies!
