Taylored Expressions / Shades of Fall Release


Welcome to the Shades of Fall release from Taylored Expressions!

We all love new colors when it comes to papercrafting.  These new colors will fit in the lineup perfectly filling in some shades we are missing!

I wanted to highlight this fabulous new Hot Fudge and Sweet Corn colors using the Coneflowers die set.  

Amy_Shades of Fall Cardstock2

Once the Coneflowers were die cut from cardstock (Sweet Corn, Green Tea, Dragon Fruit, Candy Corn, and Hot Fudge) they were ink blended to add depth and dimension.  The ink colors used to blend were Latte (new), Eggplant, Sweet Potato Pie, and Brussels Sprouts.  The flowers were layered over an ink blended background die cut using the Pierced Grid Cutting Plate.  This panel was matted with a Hot Fudge panel.  Sentiment is from the Foil It - Simple Strips Occasions.

My second card highlighting these new colors uses Create-in-Quads Ever In Bloom.  This is one of my favorite quad stencils from TE!!!

Amy_Shades of Fall ink2

The blooms were ink blended with Sweet Corn, Latte, Hot Fudge, Peapod, Eggplant, Peaches 'n Cream, and Brussels Sprouts.  The images and background were ink splattered with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.  The Hello die was framed with the corner floral sprays that were hand trimmed along the corner edges.

This card started with the Around the Town Stencil done in Sprinkles ink.  This is where our little town will be created!  My town icons and features were done using Raspberry Sorbet, Sprinkles, Tropical Punch, Green Tea, Brussels Sprouts, and Cinnamon.  All the images were die cut using dies that coordinate perfectly.

For my last card, it again features the Scattered Holiday Blooms.  I'm sure its no surprise that I worked this set into another card for this release.  It's that good!

Amy_Scattered Holiday Blooms2 (1)

I featured these blooms in one of the envelope dies and layered it over the Postage Stamp Stacklets.  The background was splattered with Gansai metallics and layered onto an embossed background done with Dotted Diamonds.  Ink colors used:  Raspberry Sorbet, Green Tea, and Sprinkles.

Taylored Expressions / Fall Ya'll


Hello everyone! 
The first day of fall is around the corner and we will hopefully be getting some cooler fall weather here soon. 

We are sharing some Fall inspired projects featuring previously released products.  I am working with the Artistic Branch and die.  I used Jalapeno cardstock as my backdrop for the branch to land on but I used the Rounded and Ridged Rectangle Stacklets for a fun take on the "rectangle".  

Amy_Artistic Branch2


The image was gold heat embossed and color was added using fall inks over the stencil.  A sentiment was gold foiled from Modern Sentiments and added for a modern flair.

Taylored Expressions / Tombstone Treats Release

Hello!
Are you ready for a fun TREAT KIT from Taylored Expressions?
It's called Tombstone Treats.

My daughter just moved to college so I created this duo......card and treat box, to give her!

Amy_Tombstone Treats2

My card started out with ink blending some Pink Champagne and Macaron inks.  Very lightly, some clouds were ink blended over the top.  I added in some tombstones in the same colors along with a marker that was white heat embossed.  The dies included in the kit are awesome because they include a "backer" for EASY layering!  I tucked the tombstones into some ink blended die cut grass.  I added some black rhinestones as accents along with tiny flowers from Garden Variety to make this more feminine. 

The treat box was SUPER easy to put together.  I do suggest using Scor-Tape for assembly.  My treat box was decorated similarly as the card.

Amy_Tombstone Treats6

Taylored Expressions / Pick your Pairings


Hello! 
It's an exciting week as we release the selected pairings our customers suggested!
  These are products that will enhance current collections or things that will make current products easier to use.

Let's get started.

My first project uses Fluttering Friends 6x6 Background that stamps all the butterfly bodies for you.  This makes it super easy to add stenciling over the top.  

Amy_Fluttering Friends2 (1)

I further used my stenciled panel along with the 3D Fluttering Friends Embossing Folder.  I'm also using a new product that was heavily requested......the Mini Slim Postage Stamp Stacklets!  

Amy_Fluttering Friends

****************
My second project uses the new coordinating Baroque Bouquet Layering Stencils!  This is makes it so easy for those like me who don't really have a passion to color an image like this!

AmyK_Baroque Bouquet2

After stamping and stenciling, I went a step further and placed my cardstock back into my Misti and added a layer of Versamark so I could emboss the image!  I love how this turned out.  After die cutting, I decided to cut up the image.  I know.....it's scary after you have done all that work!  I layered my cut bouquet onto a panel die cut using the Pierced Lattice Cutting Plate.  The sentiment is using the new Foil It Sundry Sentiments.  However, I did not foil......simply used it as it was with the die.  To finish, I added in a coordinating frame using Mulled Wine cardstock and the Frame in Frame Cutting Plate and some Clear Drip Drops.

AmyK_Baroque Bouquet

****************

My last card uses a new background called Pixie Petals Background.
I decided to ink blend a background of Confetti Cake, Blue Raspberry, and Poblano Pepper.  Over the top, the Pixie Petals Background was stamped with Sugar Cube ink for a distressed look.

Amy_Pixie Petals

I thought a spray of florals along the side using Garden Variety would help elongate the Mini Slim card size.  I went with coordinating Blue Raspberry leaves for a softer, more blended look.  Another sentiment from the Foil It Sundry Sentiments along with Black Rhinestones, finish the card. 

****************

Now for this week's promotion!
For a limited time, get the exclusive Arch Deco Background Stamp along with the Feature Frames gift with purchase when you spend $175 or more.

Taylored Expressions!

Pumpkins, skeletons, tombstones......all the frightening things!  

My first project features the new Toil and Trouble die which I made into a shaker and used the new Bits & Pieces: Halloween Stars and Sparkles.  The cauldron shaker is backed with silver glitter paper.

Amy_Toil and Trouble

I added lots of Sugar Cube ink to distress the Black Licorice cardstock that was die cut using the new Squiggle Stacklets.  

Amy_Toil and Trouble2

*******************

My second card uses the new set Stayin' Alive which features these adorable skeletons "dancing".  

Amy_Stayin Alive2

Creating a mini slim for this card using the Mini Slim Circle Window Cutting Plate, features these dancing skeletons come out of the windows.  The skeletons where white heat embossed onto Black Licorice cardstock.  The background was stamped using Zigs and Zags background done in Dragonfruit cardstock and ink for a tone on tone look.  To finish, a white heat embossed sentiment from Stayin' Alive was added along with Oreo Enamel Dots.

Amy_Stayin Alive

*******************

My last card features the Spooktacular Bundle in another mini slim card.

Amy_Spooktacular2

This one shows off the split background stamp called Halloween Scene.  I took this one step further and used the exclusive gift with purchase called Graveyard Shift.  The eerie night sky was ink blended with Mint Julep and Versafine Clair inks.  To finish, white splatter and a layer of die cut grass.

Taylored Expressions / Sweater Weather Cardmaking Kit!


Welcome!
It's time for a FABULOUS new cardmaking kit from Taylored Expressions!

This kit is ALL about those ugly sweaters and is packed with lots of hilarious sentiments and fun additions for your sweaters!

Both my cards feature the Mini Slim size from Taylored Expressions!

Amy_Sweater Weather

I started by heat foiling the sweaters using Cookie Monster Fun Foil from Taylored Expressions.  Second, I ink blended using the included stencils to create my colored sweaters using Lime Zest, Bubblegum, Cookie Monster inks.  I think the best part is the sweater die that creates the "cuffs" of the sweater!!  

Amy_Sweater Weather2

***********************

My first card uses 2 of the sweaters and I embellished them with the Dinky Decorations die that is included in the kit!  They were cut out of Cookie Monster Glitter Paper.  The sweaters were layered over a panel that was stamped with the Dotted Snowfall Background (not included in the kit but an amazing add on!) in Cookie Monster ink.  

Amy_Sweater Weather7


My second card's sweater uses one of the Dinky Decorations.....the Snowman!  This card features one of The Insiders--Sweater Sayings and it was foiled using Cookie Monster Fun Foil and then cut out using the Label Stacklets 13 for a retro vibe. 

Amy_Sweater Weather5
