Hello everyone...it's day three of the  Taylored Expressions  May Sneak Peeks and I have a couple of fun cards for you today!! Don't you just love all the new TE goodies...this is such a fabulous release and I can't wait to get started 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 new Bold Brushstrokes stamp set...I just love the big sentiments!! I used my MISTI on the sentiment so it's really bold and filled in!! The background was created with the new Stroke of Genius 2 stamp set  and the frame was cutout of Lollipop cardstock with the new Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 die. 



The Sprinkles cardstock layer was embossed with the new Know the Ropes Embossing Folder and the TE Sequins ( Hello Happiness and Sweetheart) and twine finish it off.

My second card was created for July 4th...the new Americana Script die makes the perfect sentiment for a patriotic holiday!!  It was cutout of Sugar Cube cardstock and adhered to a hand cut banner cutout of Blue Corn cardstock. The star wreath was created with several TE dies: Little Bits - Patriotic Confetti, Tagging Along, and two previously released sets....Star Stacklets, and Little Bits - Stamp of Approval. The stars were cut from Blue Corn, Sugar Cube, and Cherry Pop cardstock and adhered with glue, foam dots, and glue dots.


The background Toffee layer was cutout with the previously released Stitched Square Stacklets, embossed with the Lots of Stars Embossing Folder, and a white craft ink pad was run over the stars to give them a little color. The twine bow is the finishing touch.
