It's Release Day at Taylored Expressions! Petite-A-Palooza has been great fun, and I hope you've enjoyed this week's Sneak Peeks. The store is now open, but before you get shopping, I wanted to share two Petite projects I created. 

The first is a pop-up slider card (see the Technique tab above for instructions on how to create your own version) using the newly released Petite, Sky's the Limit and coordinating Taylored Dies! I wanted to make a really happy card, and I love the sentiment words that are included in this set. I used some great patterned paper and paper-pieced the hot air balloons, adding clouds from the Clouds Duo die as well as the sweet little clouds from the new die set! I hope that the person I send this card to sees their troubles just float away.

My second project is a card that uses the set, Polar Pete. This adorable bear comes on a floating block of ice, but I wanted to show off how he can be used year-round. 

I simply stamped him up, colored him in, and fussy cut away the ice floe! I then created a scene around my happy brown bear using patterned paper from the new Happier Card kit and using some of my go-to Taylored dies to create cloud-cover and happy grass. The little tree and bee are from last month's Love Grows Here.
