Taylored Expressions May Sneak Peeks: Toe-Tally Awesome Gifts and Cards

Hello everyone and welcome to day one of the Taylored Expressions May Sneak Peeks!!! Taylor has outdone herself with the fabulous new stamps, dies, and embossing folders this month...I can't wait for you to see all the new goodies. The May Release is Thursday, May 5, at 7:00 AM PST (9:00 AM CST). Now, grab yourself a cuppa something and enjoy the show!! But first....


Taylored Expressions is celebrating Release Week with some fabulous giveaways! Visit the TE Blog to answer Taylor’s Question of the Day for a chance to win a prize from the latest release!





My first card features the super cute Little Bits - Cookie...who doesn't love a chocolate chip cookie?? The cookie man was created by adding arms, legs, and a face using the previously released Little Bits - Spare Parts...too fun!! The sentiment from the Toe-tally Awesome stamp set was stamped with Versamark onto Oreo cardstock and embossed with white opaque embossing powder.White craft ink was sponged on the Oreo cardstock for a blackboard effect. 


The previously released Blackboard & Accessories dies were used to cut the blackboard frame out of Toffee cardstock and the chalk and eraser were cut out of Oreo and Sugar Cube cardstock. The background paper is from Doodlebug's Back to School 6x6 paper pad and the twine finishes it off.

My next project features the new Tagging Along favor box die set...I had so much fun creating two masculine gift sets by using several previously dies.


Both the caps were created by using the scalloped top of the Tagging Along die....it was used to cut out the Cookie Monster cardstock piece and one from Salt Water Taffy. The cap base was adhered to the favor box and the cap trim Salt Water Taffy piece was trimmed to fit, embossed with the previously released Burlap EF, and popped up with foam tape. The glasses were cut out of Candy Corn and Oreo cardstock with the previously released Summer Sunnies dies...the nose was cutout of Toffee cardstock with the beak of the previously released Sack It - Turkey (it was turned upside down) and the mouth was cut out of Watermelon cardstock with the previously released Little Bits - Watermelon dies. The eyebrows from the previously released Roly Poly - Owl die set were cutout of  Chocolate Truffle cardstock and the rosy cheeks were brushed on with chalk. 


The cap on the Dad favor box was created with Sweet Basil cardstock and the trim was cut out of Granny Smith cardstock and embossed with the Dotted Lattice EF.  The glasses were cut with the previously released Spectacles die out of Chocolate Truffle cardstock and the eyes were created with the previously released Roly Poly - Rudolph dies and the previously released Sack It - Hedgehog dies. The nose was created with the previously released Sack It - Turkey dies, the mustache was created with the horn from the previously released Sack It - Dinosaur... it was cut out of Chocolate Truffle cardstock and the mouth was cut out of Watermelon cardstock with the mouth die from the previously released Sack It - Bat die set. Lastly, the pipe was cutout of Earl Grey cardstock and the eyebrows were cut out of Chocolate Truffle with dies from the previously released Sack It - Leprechaun die set. 





Here is the side view...bags of snacks were added to each favor box.


Both cards were created with the Stitched Bracket Stacklets and sentiments from the Best in the World stamp set. The previously released Little Bits - Grill die was used on Cherry Pop and Oreo cardstock to create the BBQ and the football helmet was cutout of Blue Corn and Candy Corn cardstock with the previously released Sports Balls die set and the previously released Mini Caps Alpha & #'s set.  The chain of shaped diecuts on the Son card were cut with the dies from the Tagging Along die set.
