Taylored Expressions May Sneak Peeks: Little Bits - Grill and Little Bits - Necktie

Hello everyone and welcome to day two of the Taylored Expressions May Sneak Peeks!! Didn't you just love all the awesome patriotic goodies you saw yesterday...July 4th will be here before you know it!!! Today we will be showing you lots of masculine designs just in time for Father's Day!!! First, I want to remind you about all the fun on the Taylored Expressions Blog!!

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. 

I wanted to do something different with the Brick Embossing Folder so I ran an Aged Mahogany Distress Ink pad over one side of the inside and closed it on a piece of Sugar Cube cardstock. After the brick image was *stamped* on the cardstock, an aqua pen and the Aged Mahogany ink pad were used to color in the bricks. 

The Little Bits- Grill was cut out of Red Pepper and Oreo cardstock...a scrap of patterned paper was used for the flame and the grass was cut out of Granny Smith cardstock with the previously released Wispy Grass Border die. In order to add a little dimension, two borders were cut... one was glued to the cardbase and the other was popped up over the first one with foam tape.  The sentiment is from the Punny Man set and the enamel dots finish it off. 

The fun little Dad was created with the new Little Bits - Necktie and Little Bits - Uncle Sam die and the mustache from the previously released Little Bits - Love Confetti and the previously released Little Bits - Eyeglasses. They were all cutout of Oreo cardstock and popped up in the frame cut with the previously released Frame in Frame Cutting Plate. 

The background Toffee cardstock layer was embossed with the new  Corrugated Embossing Folder and the background stenciling was created by sponging a stencil cut from the new Argyle Cutting Plate. The banners were cut from scrap patterned papers and the sentiment is from the new My Favorite Dad Stamp set. The sewing along the side is the finishing touch.
