Taylored Expressions / Autumn Splendor

Fall is upon us soon so we have some cozy new products from Taylored Expressions for this special season.

No one said fall colors have to be traditional!!  I've used Honey, Pink Champagne, and Peaches 'n Cream colored inks over the Branching Out Stamp and Stencil Combo.  The Branching Out Stamp was black heat embossed.  Then using the coordinating stencils, the ink colors were blended in a soft technique.  

The cards were made using the TE Maps Volume 2: Happy Square Sheets.  Each card features a different "border" die to ground the layouts.  They feature an amazing new fall sentiment set called Cozy Vibes.  That font??!!!!!! ♥♥♥

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

My next project features a "gatefold" card.  I haven't made one of these in years!

This card features the Petal Pusher 2 Die.  I've focused on using cardstock.  I designed one panel and then cut it in half for my folded card!  The colors I used were Blue Corn, Bleu Cheese, and Pineapple.  The sentiment is from Cozy Vibes ♥

Taylored Expressions 18th Birthday!!!

Taylored Expressions is EIGHTEEN!!!

Last month, TE released a Birthday Bash Craft-Along Kit. This kit came packaged in a fun printed box and products were wrapped in foiled tissue.

18th Birthday Craft-Along Kit

Birthday Bonfire Layering Stencil

Celebrating You Rubber Stamp

Tiny Diamonds Storage Jar w/ Bits & Pieces - Sparkle Party

Prepped pieces to make two cards - one for the customer and one for a friend

I had so much fun creating with the Birthday Bash Kit!!  I created a card for my daughter's upcoming 21st birthday soon!  

I've used Gumdrop, Pink Champagne, Raspberry Sorbet, and Lime Zest as my color scheme.  I used the main Birthday Bonfire Layering Stencil on a Sugar Cube panel and added the Icing on the Candles Stencil Strips to add the "21" to the top!  For a little flair, I added some Iridescent Glitter Happy Medium over the "icing" and added some Bits & Pieces Sparkle Party as confetti!  Sentiment is from Cheers to Many More Years.

Taylored Expressions / Little Bits, Big Ideas

Welcome to the Little Bits, Big Ideas release from Taylored Expressions!

This release is dedicated to Little Bits!!

There are six Little Bits collections releasing today and they are all a must have!!!

First up, is the Little Bits Rotary Telephone from the Vintage Collection.  I've paired it with the new Little Bits Die Set - Hello.  My color palette used was Lollipop, Candy Corn, Honeydew, Peapod, Cilantro, Passion Fruit, and Gold Foil cardstocks.  I've added my Rotary Telephone onto a bold black square and layered it with the scallop square from All Planned Out 4 Diet Set.  I've added a few die cut flowers from Petal Party Dies and some leaves from A Tisket A Tasket Die Set.  For a quick embellishment, a few White Foil Drops were added.

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

My second card is another favorite Little Bits die set from the Vintage Collection.......Little Bits Television.

I went with a soft color palette for this one on a Mini Slim card.  My color palette uses Pink Champagne, Water Taffy, Banana Cream, Sea Salt, and Black Licorice.  I've paired these adorable televisions with another new Little Bits set......Little Bits Inverted Diamonds.  The background stamp Pixie Dust was stamped with Sea Salt ink onto a mini slim panel die cut using Stitched Mini Slim Stacklets and layered with the Petite Scallop Mini Slim Stacklets.  The sentiment is from a new coordinating sentiment set called Vintage Vibes.

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

My last card features a shaker card using the Little Bits Die Set - Triangles.  I had fun die cutting all these rainbow triangles using Cherry Pop, Lollipop, Candy Corn, Pineapple, Cilantro, Water Taffy, Confetti Cake, Macaron, and Concord Grape cardstocks.  

I used the Mini Slim All Planned Out 2 Die Set to feature the shaker.  For the sentiment and embellishment, I've used other new Little Bits sets......Little Bits Die Set - Happy and Little Bits Die Set - Balloon and String.  The 'birthday' sentiment is from Bitty Strips Small Talk.

So fun to mix and match all these new products!
