For Her Release from Taylored Expressions

Hi Crafters! Today I have projects to share from the new For Her Release at Taylored Expressions. These products are perfect for Mother's Day and for all the women in your life throughout the year. The products are available now in the TE Store


My first two cards are created with the Triple Slim - In the Kitchen Stencil and Triple Slim - In the Kitchen Cutting Plate. Once you stencil the kitchen items the die cuts all the pieces out at one time! I listed the inks I used with the stencil below.  

To create the card front I stamped one of the two stamps in the Up Against A Wall Stamp in Blue Raspberry Ink on Salt Water Taffy Cardstock. I cut a strip of TE White Woodgrain Cardstock to add the shelf at the bottom of the card. 


The sentiment is from the new What's Cookin' stamp set and die cut with the coordinating What's Cooking' dies. I added Cookie Monster Enamel Dots to accent the kitchen items. 


My next card is created in the same manner except I used one of the Foil It - Triple Slim In the Kitchen Panels with TE Black Foil. I also used the second stamp in the Up Against the Wall Stamp Set, stamping in Versamark Ink on Salt Water Taffy Cardstock and embossing with TE White Embossing Powder. 


I added another sentiment from the What's Cooking' stamp set and added a few Sugar Cube Enamel Dots. 


Next up is a look at the Garden Variety 2 Dies and the Rustic Watering Can Die. I started by die cutting the watering can from Licorice Cardstock, adding accents with a gold gel pen and lightly splattering gold paint. 

Next I die cut the flowers and greenery from the cardstock colors I have listed below, blending a little ink in the centers and edges. I used TE Gold Foil to add the centers to the flowers. 


This sentiment is from the beautiful You Are Additions Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. I used the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets and Rose Water Cardstock to add the center panel that is stenciled with the Take Two - Pretty Polka Stencil. I glued the panel to Sugar Cube Cardstock die with the A2 Postage Stamp Stacklets.

My first two cards feature the Foil It - Mini Slim Essential Patterns-Vol.-2. On this card I used the new TE Champagne Foil. I like the softer gold tone. I stamped the flower with the  Meadow Aster Stamp & Die Combo and colored with Olo Markers.

This flower is stamped with the in the Meadow Cinquefoil Stamp & Die Combo . 



On my next two card I used the new Foil It - Gilded Frames Panes. I used the new Cookie Monster Fun Foil. I used the Masking Stencils - Circles to add the inner circle with Mint Julep and Salt Water Taffy Ink. 


The background is die cut with the Swirls Pierce & Cut Plate from Tropical Punch Cardstock. I used the  Foil It- Modern Sentiments Labels to add the sentiments. The butterflies are created with the Beautiful Butterfly Wings Stamp Set and coordinating dies. 


On this panel I used the Gold Fun Foil along with some Gold Glitter Drops. I used the Mask It - Rectangle Stencils to add the center rectangle with Mint Julep and Macaron Ink.

Scattered Blooms

Hi Friends! My projects today are created with the new Scattered Blooms Cardmaking Kit from Taylored Expressions. I have two projects to share with you demonstrating a couple different ways to use the kit. 


To create this card I used one of the Foil It – Scattered Blooms Panels with Gold Shimmer Fun Foil. Then I stenciled the flowers with the Scattered Blooms Layering Stencil. I have linked the inks I used below. I stenciled a few extra flowers to use as embellishments. 


The sentiment is die cut with the Big Hugs Die which is including in the kit. I backed the sentiment with the Big Hugs Backer which is available for purchase separately. I added a few Gold Glitter Drops to the center of a few flowers. 



My second card shows the versatility of the Scattered Blooms Cutting Plate that is included in the kit. For this card I die cut flowers from Rose Water, Fruit Punch, and Potato Chip Cardstock. Then I added more detail with a little ink blending and a white gel pen. The leaves are die cut from Mint Julep Cardstock and blended with Cilantro Ink. 


The background is die cut the Pierced Lattice Cutting Plate from Licorice Cardstock. The card front is stenciled with the Wavy Stripe Stencil and Rose Water Ink. 


The sentiment is from the Sundry Sentiments Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. I added the sentiment to an oval die cut with Stitched Oval Stacklets and the Petite Scallop Oval Stacklets.
