I love today! Today the sun is shining and I am heading to the craft room after catching up with some of my favorite people, YOU! Today, I am sharing projects featuring one background stamp used three different ways.
I enjoy using background stamps, and it is easy to only use them in the one capacity--to stamp a background! However, background stamps can be used in many different ways. I created a trio of cards, using a similar color palette, to create a background border, background-on-background, and a background as a focal point. Today's projects feature the Heart in Bloom background stamp. Let's CREATE!

Happy Monday Taylored Expressions Fans and Crafty Friends!
It feels like forever, because well, it has been awhile! I have missed all of my crafty friends. I took some much needed time off to concentrate on my family. However, I am excited to be back here with you and in the craft room. Today, marks day one of Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek Week! Yeah! Are you ready to be creatively blown away by the TE Creative Team? If your answer is yes, then pull up a chair and grab your favorite beverage, because we are sharing swinging bunnies and spreading kindness.

Happy Friday, Crafty Friends!
Are you looking forward to heading into your craft room this weekend? Well, I am glad I made a little time to play in my craft room. St. Patrick's Day almost passed me by, and I couldn't allow that to happen. My sweet hubby is a huge fan of St. Patrick's Day, so I wanted to make a card for him. Today, I am sharing a card featuring Taylored Expression's Shake Your Shamrock (stamp/die combo).

Hello Crafty Friends,
Happy New Year! I hope your new year is going well and you are enjoying your crafty Christmas presents. I enjoyed spending some much needed downtime in my craft room organizing and loving on my new crafty gifts, too.
Each new year, brings with it an opportunity to contemplate our choices, reevaluate our priorities and set new goals. Taylored Expressions is making some new changes for the new year, too. If you did not know, Taylored Expressions is now doing their new releases on an every-other-month basis. What does this mean for you? It means the Creative Team will have new designer features to share with you, and hopefully encourage you to get into your craft rooms to create something beautiful with old favorites and new finds. For more information on what to expect, check out Taylor's video on YouTube (HERE).
Today, I am showcasing a card from our new series entitled 'Designer Choice.' I love the idea behind Designer Choice, because it allows me to go back and revisit a stamp and/or die I previously did not have an opportunity to fully explore. Seriously, even I have a TE 'new pile' stash that I am longing to create with.
The Noteworthy stamp set might be one that is easily overlooked. The stamps work well to create quick stationery note card gift sets, but is equally functional for stand alone cards. I love the medium-sized script font and pleasant sentiments featured in this set. To create this card, I paired the sentiment with the Fresh Florals stamp and coordinating die set, along with the Striped Background stamp for an elegant Thank You card. The striped background panel was die cut using the Stitched Square Stacklets and then die cut again (Stitched Circle Stacklets) to create a focal point for the sentiment. A bouquet of fresh flowers, Baker's Twine and inky splatters complete this card.
My second card also features a sentiment from the Noteworthy stamp set. I was on a roll, why stop?
I love this sentiment, because it reminds me that each one of us is a masterpiece. This card paired the Noteworthy set with the Frame in Frame Cutting Plate and A Life She Loved stamp and coordination die set. An A2 top-folding Sugar Cube card base was inked using Salt Water Taffy dye ink and embellished with a few inky splatters. The canvas for the sentiment uses Distress Oxide inks and the watercolor smooshing technique to add a bit of whimsy. The image featuring the jar of paintbrushes was stamped onto Copic-friendly paper, colored with Copic markers, and Ranger's Glossy Accents was added to create a glass effect.
I hope you have enjoyed this trip down memory lane featuring the Noteworthy stamp set. If you own the set, dust if off and show it a little inky love. If the set is new to you, I hope I have inspired you to take a closer look at a hidden gem. You can visit the Taylored Expressions' Gallery for more inspiration using this stamp set (HERE).
Thank you for stopping by! Happy stamping, my crafty friends!

Taylored Expressions Sneak Peak Day 2: Blessings to You Big Blooms Card Collection
Happy Tuesday Taylored Expressions Fans and Crafty Friends,
Today, I am sharing with you two new additions to the Big Blooms Collection-Cabbage Rose and Hydrangea paired with Sentiment Stacker 2 die. I designed a boxed card collection that showcases the versatility of these products.
I think card box sets make wonderful Christmas gifts for loved one. The 'Blessings to You' card collection features the 'Be Still' sentiments, which are uplifting scripture verses.

Hello Fellow Crafters and Scrappers,
I have another card to share with you today. I designed this last night using my Gansai Tambi watercolor palette. I am still trying to a get a feel for these wonderfully pigmented watercolors, but I sense there is much more to be learned and explored.

Happy Saturday Fellow Crafters and Scrappers,
Today's card is inspired by Jen Shults' Deconstructed Sketch No. 204. I just had to play along this week as we say good-bye to the Deconstructed Sketch. I have enjoyed receiving Jen's weekly sketch inspiration in my email inbox for the past year and a half. Jen's sketches are a wonderful way to get excited about trying a new card design and playing with paper. I want to thank Jen for all she has done. It is because of Jen, I was introduced to Taylored Expressions and many other wonderful designers. Thank you for inspiring me, Jen, and helping me to become a better card designer. I will miss your weekly sketches. Best of luck on your new crafting journey =)
