Taylored Expressions February Release!!!!!

Hello Fabulous Crafty Friends!

Happy Release Day!! I hope you have enjoyed visiting with the TE Creative Design Team this week. Today, I am sharing my last two projects featuring the Little Bits-Marshmallow Bunny and Iconic Wishes-Savior.


When I first laid eyes on the cute bunny die, I knew I had to create a box of Peeps. While this might not be the most practical card to mail...it was fun to design. And really, that is the magic, being inspired to create. To make this card, I used the Matchbox die to die cut a piece of Potato Chip cardstock for my Peep's box. I then die cut 20 bunnies from the Playful Patterns-Sweet paper, and 20 bunnies from Oreo cardstock and glued them together. Foam adhesive sits between each row of bunnies. Next, an A2 card base made from Strawberry Milkshake cardstock is cut, and an inked Sugar Cube panel is adhered to the card base. Strips of pattern paper are layered onto the card front and a heat embossed sentiment completes this card.




My next card features Iconic Wishes-Savior. This stamp set is perfect for a variety of occasions, Easter, Thinking of You, Encouragement and more.


To create this card, I die cut the background panel from the Stained Glass Cutting Plate using Shimmer White cardstock. I left some of the pieces in the panel for visual interest. The background is a heat embossed image using the Notable Blooms Background Stamp. The oval panel is die cut from gold metallic cardstock and make a wonderful base for the cross. The cross, with the names of our Savior, is also heat embossed using gold embossing powder.

Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek Day 2: Welcome Spring

Happy Tuesday TE Fans,

Welcome to day 2 of Sneak Peek Week. Today, I am sharing the new {Frame-Worthy}-Easter and Rain or Shine paired with When It Rains.


I love the idea of freshen my home decor for spring with a handmade craft. The {Frame-Worthy} collection makes crafting for various seasons easy and fun. To create this piece, I started by Copic coloring the floral array in the vibrant colors of spring. To add a little visual dimension, I die cut several flowers and foliage using Bloomers 1, Bloomers 5 and Bloomers greenery. A butterfly and Nuvo Crystal drops, in Dandelion Yellow, complete this piece.





Project number two, is a sweet card featuring Rain or Shine and When It Rains.


To create this card, the Falling Hearts Cutting Plate was die cut three times from Red Pepper, Lollipop, and Watermelon cardstock. The hearts were then inset into a cloud-sponged piece of Sugar Cube cardstock. The umbrella from the When It Rains die, is die cut from several shades of red and filled with colorful hearts using the Little Bits-Hearts die. A stamped sentiment completes this card.


For an added bonus, here is an envelope showcasing the latest addition to the mail collection stamps, Happy Mail. Perfect for stamping a little love on your envelopes.


Thank you for stopping by today. For more information and inspiration featuring these products, visit Taylored Expressions (HERE). And as with each new release, answer Taylor's Question of the Day for a chance to win fabulous prizes from this month's release. Wahoo!



Happy Crafting,
