I used the new Classic Hoop and Charming Blooms stencil.  Color palette includes:  Bubblegum, Fruit Punch, Blue Corn, and Dill Pickle.  Once the blooms were finished, white pigment pen accents were added.  The hoop was added over a background done with the Cross Stitch 6x6 Background Stamp.  The sentiment, from Sew Many Wishes, was stamped in Blue Corn ink.

My second card features the new Scissors and Sewing Tools Dies.  All these new Little Bits dies (scissors, spool, thread card, needle and thread, and buttons) were die cut using Bubblegum, Pineapple, and Blue Raspberry cardstocks.  All the dies were arranged over a panel cut with the Talking in Circles Piercing Plate.  The sentiment is from the new Sew Essential Stamp and Die Combo and the Bitty Strips Stamp - Sew Essential.

Taylored Expressions / Florals & Flutters Cardmaking Kit

Hello!

It's time for the monthly cardmaking kit from Taylored Expressions!

This month it is all about FLORALS and FLUTTERS.

Florals & Flutters Cardmaking Kit

My first cards use the cardmaking kit along with 6x6 maps to make creating multiple cards a cinch!  For my cards, I've used the Take Two - Beads & Blooms Stencil with Bleu Cheese cardstock and coordinating ink.  Each card uses the new sentiment set, Softly Spoken, white heat embossed.  

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

My second card uses a softer palette of colors including Royal Icing, Pineapple, and Sweet Corn ink.  This panel was gold foiled with Champagne Fun Foil using my Mini Minc.  Sentiment is from an older set called Hello Lovely.  The foiled panel was die cut using the Additional Arched Stacklets Dies along with the Petite Arched Stacklets Dies.

Make sure to check out the Taylored Expressions social media and blog for all the details of the kit!

APRIL was decorated with A Tisket A Tasket Die Set - Easter along with a die cut sun from Here Comes the Sun Die Set.

MAY was decorated with A Tisket A Tasket Die Set in fresh, spring colors.

JUNE was decorated with the Let it Grow collection of stencil and dies.

Taylored Expressions / Easter Release

Hello and happy March! 

This week is the Easter release from Taylored Expressions and we're excited to share three new bundles, plus a cute gifting box & accessories.

I created a Mini Slim card using the Tisket a Tasket Die Set along with the additions for Easter!

I filled my basket with lots of blooms and the adorable bunny that can hang over the edge!  I used the Cross Stitch Mini Slim Stacklets for the background and offset the smallest one for a different look.  

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

There is a new Giftables in the shop called Bitty Box Die.  It also has a Bunny Accessories Die to make the box into an adorable bunny!  I ran some Sea Salt Cardstock through with the Bitty Box Die and then used the Swiss Dot Embossing Folder to add texture to my bunny!  To jazz her up, I added some Sugar Cube Loose Glitter to the ears and nose. 

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

We've created three Easter bundles that take the project planning off your plate! We’ve done the pairing so everything works beautifully together, making it simple to create cards and projects you’re excited to share.

Taylored Expressions / Hex Effects Cardmaking Kit

Hello! 

It's hard to believe it's already the end of February. This short month always seems to go by fast, but no complaints… every day closer to spring feels is a win!

This week we are releasing the Hex Effects Cardmaking Kit! 

My two cards are using some of the components of the kit and add-ons.

My first card uses the Year in Bloom Stamps from last year.  They have been stamped in Sugar Cube Ink onto Black Licorice Cardstock for a silhouette look.  The background was done using Spearmint Cardstock with inlays of some of the patterned hexagon shapes from the Hex Effects Cutting Plate Die.

My second card uses more of the shapes from the Hex Effects Cutting Plate Die.  The colors I've used are Plum Tart, Plum Punch, Dragon Fruit, and Dill Pickle.  This card also features the Hexagon Piercing Plate Die.  The sentiment I chose for this card comes from With All My Art stamps and coordinating dies.

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

The Hex Effects Cardmaking Kit makes pattern play feel effortless. Bold hexagon shapes look stunning in any color combination, and everything inside the kit is thoughtfully designed to coordinate beautifully.
