Hi folks, 

Taylored Expressions has a new kit out and it's all about florals this time! Lori Craig designed this gorgeous floral bunch that can be used in so many ways! Here’s everything included the Field Notes 2 Kit – which retails for $55:

  • Sketchbook Bouquet stamp set
  • Sketchbook Bouquet Die
  • Sketchbook Bouquet Stencil
  • Splatter Background stamp
  • 6 Watercolor 111 lb. A2 Cardstock Panels
  • 6 Textured Watercolor A2 Envelopes
  • 6 Custom Envelope Seals
  • Packaged in a zippered pouch with a custom kit label

Limited quantity available. Most items not available to purchase individually.


I made two totally different cards using this mini kit. For my first card, I simply die cut multiple images of the floral bunch and colored them using alcohol markers and colored pencils. My color palette is based on the first palette chosen by Lori. I then heat embossed a sentiment from the kit and the splatter background on Oreo cardstock with gold embossing powder. Finally, I just arranged all the blooms around the sentiment! 


Supply List:
  

 
For my next card, I decided to watercolor the floral bunch using Karin Markers - Palette 2 picked by Taylor. I then placed it on an ink blended backdrop created by using the Frayed edges masking stencil and Cookie Monster and Jelly Donuts inks. Later, I finished off the card by adding some paint splatters and a sentiment from the kit! 



Supply List: 
If you like florals, this kit is a must have! Be sure to check out what the rest of the team has in store for you!

Thanks,

Hi folks, 

Welcome to Reverse Confetti's February bloghop! I have a fun project that showcases a totally new way to use some products from the Jan release... who doesn't like versatile products? 

I used the newly released Pencil and Treat holder to make a book mark! The die cut slot is perfect for marking your last read page and also makes cute gifts! I first started off by die cutting an A2 cardbase using the the Pencil an Treat holder die. I then used the Outlined Frame Cover Panel die to die cut a fancy border. Punch a hole at the top to finish your bookmark base! 


To decorate my bookmark, I then ink blended it using shades of red, pink and peach dye inks. I wanted some glam so I decided to apply some glimmer paste to the top of the bookmark for some Ombre look. Not sure if I succeeded, but I definitely like how it turned out! 


I finished off my bookmark by adding some colored images from Love is in the Air and Picture Perfect stamp set. To make it a bit more fancy, I also used some embroidery floss in different shades of red and pink to make a tassel for the top! 


Supplies Used: 





Wasn't that simple and cute? If you haven't gotten the pencil and treat die yet, I highly recommend it! You can use it in three different ways and make so many cute gifts for all occasions! 

Be sure to check out what the rest of the team has in store for you:

Hi folks, 

Taylored Expressions has a new release out and it’s all about St Patrick’s Day! It’s small but packed with awesome products that can be used in multiple ways... So, let’s get started! 

My first card is super simple to recreate. I first started with Granny Smith cardstock and used the Lucky Leprechaun stencil with Cilantro and Peapod ink to stencil the tiny shamrocks. I applied glimmer paste on top for some bling. I then used the Cap it Off Alpha dies with gold cardstock and some Peapod cardstock to die cut the word ‘Luck’. Later, I colored some leprechauns from Lucky Leprechaun background stamp using alcohol markers and colored pencils. I finished off my card by placing it on Pablano Pepper cardstock and adding some sentiments from Mini Strips - St Patrick’s Day. 


Supply List:


My second card is easy too! And has lots of green... I usually don’t use a lot of green so this is new to me! I first started off by stamping the shamrock stems using Pablano Pepper ink. I then stenciled the leaves using the coordinating stencils and different green inks like Lime Zest, Cilantro and Peapod. I created the framed pieces of Leprechauns by using the Color Block cutting plate and gold cardstock. Finally, I colored some leprechauns using colored pencils and alcohol markers and added some sentiments from Mini Strips - St Patrick’s Day. 


Supply List:

I hope you liked the two cards! Be sure to check out what the other DT members created with this release..

Happy Crafting,
Kavya

Hi folks, 

If you have been following me for a while, you know how much I love slimlines and mini slimlines! I find the size perfect for scene building and I feel less intimidated. Taylored Expressions has some new products that are sure to up your slimline game! 

As always, I have a bunch of cards that combine all of the products from this release in a fun colorful way! 



My first card is a rainbow shaker card inspired by Noriko, a fellow DT member. Noriko made this gorgeous rainbow shaker card and I just had to make one! I first started off by using die cutting multiple Mini Slimline Diagonal Stripe die cuts using Sugar Cube so that I can layer them for the shaker card base. I then used Cherry Pop, Candy Corn, Lemon Meringue, Granny Smith, Cookie Monster, Lollipop and Jelly Donut for the stripe openings. I then filled it with Snow flurries for the shaker bits. I finished it off by adding a line of cute adorable rainbow critters from the new Little Critters set and a sentiment from the Just Saying stamp

Supply List:


My second uses some scraps from my first card to a make the background. Each strip was about 1/4” in width. I then placed the newly released Mini Slim Square Window cutting plate in Sea Salt on top. I filled the windows with cute critters from Little Critters and added the the alphabets H, B and D from Cap It Off Alpha. I finished it off by adding a sentiment from Just saying stamp set!




Supply List:


My final card uses the newly released Hexagon trifold template. I started off by ink blending the top half of the cardstock using Pink Champagne, Candy Corn, Pineapple, Granny Smith and Cookie Monster. I then used the template to die cut the hexagons. I filled the window with little critters and added the large ‘Hugs’ using the Cap It Off Alpha die set and an embossed sentiment on Jelly Donut cardstock. Fun tip: Add tiny strips of magnet to your tri fold card so that it closes! 




Supply List:

January 26th through Sunday, January 31st (or while supplies last), you can get the Little Critters Mini Slim Bundle for 15% off! The bundle includes the Little Critters stamp set, the Just Saying stamp set, and the Mini Slim Square Window Cutting Plate die. The discounted bundle price is only available through Sunday, January 31st.


I hope you liked these fun rainbow cards! Be sure to check what the rest of the DT has in store for you.

Happy Crafting,
Kavya

Hi folks, 

Taylored Expressions has a new release out and it’s all being snarky and sarcastic! The new mini and simple strips are perfect additions to your cards that would definitely bring a smile on the recipient’s face! And they are perfect for many occasions! Let me show you how...

My first set of cards are for some friends who will be graduating this semester from college. It’s going to be year since I have graduated and I still feel like a teenager except I have bills to pay :) I combined multiple sentiments from the Simple Strips Snarky to make ‘honest’ graduation cards. I first started off by ink blending on white cardstock using Pink Champagne and Peaches and Cream. I then used the same colors to stencil using the Hot Spots stencil. I then colored the images from Grad Grumplings using colored pencils and alcohol markers. I die cut the earth from Whole Wide World die set using Granny Smith and Cookie Monster cardstock. Finally, I heat embossed the sentiments on the same colored cardstock and diet cut them using the new Asymmetrical die for Simple Strips. I then placed by card base on Toffee cardstock to finish it off. 





Supply List:

My next card uses the new Mini Strips Fun and Funny. When I saw some of the sentiments in this set, I knew I could make a perfect Covid themed card for a friend that I haven’t seen in ages. I first made a bunch of emojis using the Build an Emoji set and Pineapple, Chocolate Truffle , Sugar Cube and Strawberry Milkshake cardstock. This set even has a mask! I then ink blended the rays using Lavender Glaze and Jelly Donut inks on the matching ‘Hey There’ stencil. I know this stencil was for the stamp set but if stencil gently when you reach the center, no one would know! The ‘hard lines’ are visible in some places so I just covered them using the emojis! I added a white scalloped border using the Frame in Frame 2 die and I then heat embossed the sentiments on Jelly Donut cardstock. Isn’t this just adorable? 



Supply List:

 
That’s it for today! Be sure to check the works of other DT members for more inspiration!

Thanks,
Kavya

Hi folks, 

There is a new Stock your Stash challenge at Reverse Confetti blog and the theme is ‘Love is in the Air’! This theme perfectly aligns with this month’s release and I was excited to get another opportunity to play with the release. I used a bunch of products to create a non-red/pink/purple card!


I first started off by ink blending my A2 panel using shades of blue and green. I then used the Outlined Frame Cover Panel die to die cut and also cut an inner rectangle so that I can use it as a border. I used the inner rectangle to die cut the inner part of the Big Love die and white glitter card stock to die cut the outline. Later, I stamped an image from the Love is in the Air stamp set and colored using alcohol markers and colored pencils. Finally, I added a left over bow from my previous project and stamped a sentiment from Words of Love to finish of the card! 








Be sure to check the Reverse Confetti blog for instructions to enter the challenge!

Thanks,
Kavya
