Taylored Expressions June Release Day: Mischief Maker - Beach Babe and Big Bold Summer


Hello everyone...today is the day!! That's right...today is Release Day at Taylored Expressions!!!! All the fabulous dies and stamp sets are now in the store and ready to go home with you!!!! Also....



Taylored Expressions is celebrating Release Week with some fabulous giveaways! Visit the TE Blog each Sneak Peek Day this week for details on how you can enter to win. 


My first card today features the adorable little Mischief Maker - Beach Babe set...isn't she cute!!! She was colored with Copics as were the other images...they were all cutout and popped up on foam dots over the *water* and *sand*. 


The TE Wave Border was cut out of baja breeze cardstock and adhered to the background...the sand was colored and popped up over the water. The clouds were sponged on using baja breeze and soft sky and the button with hemp cording finishes it off. 


My second card features one of the summer sentiment stamps from the Big Bold Summer set and the cute Little Bits Flip Flop dies. This card came together very fast using scraps of papers that were on my counter...I thought the paper with the flip flops was perfect for this!!


The sentiment was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and the top corners were punched with a corner rounder. The Little Bits Flip Flops dies are just the cutest...perfect for all your summer cards!!!

 Take a look at what the Baker's Dozen Design Team created for you today!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to day three of the Taylored Expressions June Sneak Peeks!!! This is such a big release with 13 new stamp sets, 21 die sets and 3 cutting plates....WOW!!! They will all be available for purchase on Thursday, June 5th, at 7:00 AM PST (that's 9:00 AM CST)


Taylored Expressions is celebrating Release Week with some fabulous giveaways! Visit the TE Blog each Sneak Peek Day this week for details on how you can enter to win. 
My first card features the Taylored Expressions set called The Little Things...it was stamped on a piece of patterned paper and colored with Copics. The sentiment from the same set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black  and the enamel dots were added. The image was then cutout with the previously released TE Tags Sticklets 2 die as was the black mat and the ribbon was adhered with a staple. 




 The new  TE Doodle Borders stamp was used to create the scallop layer...it was stamped twice with Soft Sky onto the choice Snow white layer, matted with black, and sewing was done along the edges.  The previously released TE Build a Scene-Sunshine was cut out of patterned paper, adhered to the background and the button and hemp cording finish it off. 

My second card features the new TE Notable Blooms set. The images were colored with Copics,  cutout with the coordinating dies, and matted with Choice Black. Two black diecuts were adhered to the backs of the images.


The new TE Lattice Cutting Plate was used to cut out the lattice...it was then cut out with the previously released TE Label Stacklets 4 die...this die was also used to cut out the frame. Foam tape was used to adhere the lattice to the back of the frame. The images were adhered to the frame and the previously released TE  Label It die was used for the sentiment from the same set. Black pearls were added to the circles on the image for a little glam!!

 Now, how about a little inspiration from the Baker's Dozen Design Team!!

 Thanks for stopping by today....Remember, tomorrow is the big release at 7:00 AM PST....have a great day!!!

Color Throwdown Challenge #295



Hello everyone!! I'm the hostess for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge and I hope you like pink!!  I so love quilts and when I saw the quilt in the inspiration photo, I knew we just had to use the colors for a challenge!!! 

Remember... to play along, you don't have to use the exact colors. Substitute with what you have that’s close to this week’s colors. Just be sure that your creation primarily uses only the specified challenge colors.  (All challenge rules can be reviewed in the right sidebar.)

Once you’ve finished your card or other paper crafting project using the colors, add a direct link to your creation using the linky tool we’ve provided on the CTD blog. And, don’t forget to use the keyword CTD295 if you upload your project to an online gallery.

First, I want to thank our May Guest Designer, Annette Allen....what a fantastic artist!!! It was wonderful having all your beautiful cards in our gallery!!! 

Now, we have a new and awesome Guest Designer for June.... please help me welcome Susan Moore!! 

Also, help me welcome  Diane Jaquay who is this weeks Guest Star Stamper!! 

My card features the Heart Stacklets and the Love Script die from TE's Pockets and Pages February Script die set. 
First, the heart was cut in the top pink layer. Then lots of paper scraps were cut and arranged on a scrap piece of card stock, cut with the largest Heart Stacklet, and adhered to the back side of the top layer. 

A piece of Bravo Burgundy was used for the matting and the button, hemp, and the Love diecut finish it off.
