Hey there, crafty friends! Today I am wishing my dear friends and former colleagues at <a href="https://tayloredexpressions.com/blog/">Taylored Expressions</a> a very happy 10th birthday. I am so delighted to help them celebrate. As you may know, TE was a very big part of my life right up until I moved across the country just a few short months ago. I was a part of their crafty journey for seven amazing years and Taylor herself was one of the first crafters to notice my work and she and her husband, Jon, welcomed me into the TE family. I am so happy to see the company flourishing and continuing to share joy each and every day.</div>

For today's celebration blog hop, I created a fun card using one of my fave stamp & die combo sets, <i><a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/llama-love-stamp-die-combo.html">Llama Love</a></i>. I grabbed my Copics and started coloring in the darling llama, using tight, circular motions to mimic a wooly appearance. </div>

I decided to have this happy guy peek through some stitched <i><a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/peek-a-boo-squares.html">Peek-a-Boo Squares</a></i> windows.

<span style="text-align: start;">I love this set because it reminds me of the trip I took with my husband many years ago to Peru, where we hiked the Inca Trail. Of course, llamas and alpacas are close cousins, so I was so excited to see the funny sentiment that I used on this card. And what birthday is complete without some happy balloons? I cut these using TE's <i><a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/number-balloons.html">Number Balloons</a> </i>dies and tied them off with some colorful baker's twine. (A stack of brightly-colored presents stops things off!)</span></div>

Hey there, happy friends! Today is a super terrific day because it's the first big Release Day for <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/new.html">Taylored Expressions</a> of the new year! I got to play along and I created two projects that I hope you enjoy.</div>

My first card is actually a re-creation of a card I made several years ago for TE, but I've updated it with this nifty new die, When It Rains. I love this umbrella! I filled it with Little Bits Hearts in two shades of pink and finished off with the pretty sentiment from the new Rain or Shine stamp set. I love the new Patterned Paper from TE -- SWEET!</div>

Next up, I got to do some watercoloring with the new Easter Watercolor panels. The new designs are darling! I love this one with these cute little chicks. I used the new Falling Rain Cutting Plate for the background and topped it with my favorite Build a Scene Rolling Clouds dies. With some Distress Ink, I had a nice stormy day that I could brighten up with the panel.</div>

Hey there, crafty Christmas friends! I am just popping in with a fun little project I created for my office Christmas Party. I created these fun little treat boxes using the new All Tucked In die from <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> and I love how they turned out!<br />
<br />
I die-cut each box out of bright, Cherry Pop cardstock, which was easy peasy. I love the little scalloped detail on the front of each box! I added a little Enamel Shape -- it looks like a button and is just too cute. Before assembling, I added some metallic striped wash tape.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN7ltqQ-6c90OnxeKnVRBTPZE6YmPGZS5qf5moTxCJ_1RlS4pkrEbg0_KRON_1555dpRX7V4cOYOY2lPa_n7wZKCM3-tWsC-N-fLMUn8bgrk9qDiIc5GBWacc39UB9DUL7tCavG8U7Rj1C/s1600/AllTuckedInReginaXMas2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="534" data-original-width="800" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN7ltqQ-6c90OnxeKnVRBTPZE6YmPGZS5qf5moTxCJ_1RlS4pkrEbg0_KRON_1555dpRX7V4cOYOY2lPa_n7wZKCM3-tWsC-N-fLMUn8bgrk9qDiIc5GBWacc39UB9DUL7tCavG8U7Rj1C/s640/AllTuckedInReginaXMas2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I stamped this fun sentiment with Sugar Cube ink. I could have used embossing powder to have a really bright impression, but I wanted a 'frosty' look and it dried exactly how I wanted. I added some Wink of Stella in green and Nuvo drops in red to the little holly plant. Super festive!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next, I assembled each box and I topped each with a Mini Mix & Match Bow in Cookie Monster for a bit of non-traditional color. These darling little boxes are going to be filled with a wee treat -- I can't say what because it's still a surprise!<br />
<br />
Hope you have a super happy and merry day!<br />

Happy Friday! I cannot wait for this weekend, can you? I am happy that I got a chance to get into my craft space to create a thank you card for a really nice woman who surprised me with a little gift the other day. She's very chic and stylish, so I reached for the new <i>Mandala Cutting Plate</i> from Taylored Expressions to create a thank you card for her.<br />
<br />
After die-cutting the plate from <i>Cookie Monster Cardstock</i>, I selectively removed only some of the pieces, leaving the rest intact. I liked the contrast of the solid piece to the outer petals of the mandala. I also added some clear Nuvo Drops for some pretty texture.<br />
<br />
If you are curious about mandalas, check out the <a href="https://tayloredexpressions.com/blog/?p=19575&preview=true">Taylored Expressions Blog</a> for some interesting information and examples of more cards created with this very pleasing symbol of the universe. And have a wonderful weekend!<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Hi there, crafty friends! I can’t believe it’s already November. Where did this year go? Since it is November, that means some really fun new products from <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> and I got to play along today! I am showing off one of the awesome new dies that are releasing today. It’s called the Display Easel and I have been pining for something like this for a while.</span></div>

The Display Easel is super easy to assemble. I have seen it put together several ways -- depending on how large of a piece you want to display, you can widen the top based on where you adhere it together. I have smaller, lighter things to display, so this worked for me. I cut the Display Easel from Sugar Cube Cardstock and then a second time with the new Playful Patterns - Bold 6x6 Paper Pad and covered the front and the lip -- I love that I can decorate it however I want!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Display Easel is a great way to show off calendars like this one that I made using the 2018 3x4 Calendar. It's the perfect size! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decorated the calendar with a super cute snowman from the recently-released Quick Critters Stamp & Die Combo, coloring with Copics and adding a bit of pink behind the cut-out heart.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I placed the snowman on a bit of hand-trimmed Sugar Cube Cardstock covered in Snow-Tex for some fun 'snowy' texture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up, I created a photo display for the easel.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I take lots of photos of my husband and my kiddo, but I'm not very good about printing them out and putting them on display. I think that will change now because this was so much fun to do and so easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply printed one of my favorite pics and adhered it to a bit of trimmed cardstock. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I framed the photo with the brand new Inside Scallop Rectangle Stacklets dies and the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets. I just adore the little detail! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now I can easily display a calendar (or maybe even give it away as a gift) or a photo on the new Display Easel and I am so excited! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you will visit the<a href="https://tayloredexpressions.com/blog/"> TE Blog</a> to check out more Release Day fun!</div>

It's a Merry Monday, crafty friends! Today I get to help <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> introduce its holiday and Christmas Release of new products and I'm definitely in a festive mood. I will be sharing two fun card projects today and I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I have enjoyed making them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first card features the soon-to-be-released Santa & Friends and I think it might be my new favorite go-too stamp set for the holidays. It was designed to be used with Mini Wobble springs and it makes some seriously adorable characters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I colored up the Santa and added the wobble spring -- it makes the head into a bobble head! </div>

When I saw the included sentiment, I had a mischievous idea. I stamped just the bottom of the cute reindeer and turned him upside down in the Build a Scene Rolling Hills snow mounds that I die cut from Sugar Cube cardstock. I also stamped and colored a full reindeer, coloring his nose like Rudolph. (Maybe Rudolph was finally getting some revenge for being excluded from those reindeer games?) Wink! Wink!</div>

I also used the new, exclusive Christmas Tree Shaker to create this fun shaker. I used the included dies to cut TE Adhesive Sheets and it made creating the shaker so much easier! I filled it up with some sequins and a few crystals for shine. </div>

Happy Monday, crafty friends! It's a special Labor Day today because this month marks my fifth year working for an incredible company that also happens to be marking its NINTH Birthday -- <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/new.html">Taylored Expressions</a>! I have enjoyed being a part of the TE journey nearly from the beginning, when I started as a designer. The team at TE is one of the best groups of people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with! All this week the TE team is partying with party games, prizes, and more -- I got to play along today with one of TE's soon-to-be-released stamp sets, <i>B is for Birthday</i> and I can't wait to show you my project.</div>

I stamped and paper-pieced the adorable P is for PRESENT image. I loosely represented the green strip in the sketch with a row of presents...LOTS of presents! With just a bit of glitter, the bows and polka dots on the "P" really shine. I added a bit of festive texture with the <i>Sprinkles Embossing Folder</i> and added a few of TE's Enamel Shapes as suggested by the sketch. I had so much fun putting this project together!<br />
<br />
I hope you will enter for your chance to become a Guest Designer for TE. Designing for TE was one of the best experiences of my life. <i>Be is for Birthday</i> will be available for purchase this Thursday.

Hey there, friends! I hope you are enjoying your summer. It's super hot here in SoCal, so I was glad to get into my craft space to design a card for <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/new.html">Taylored Expressions</a>' August Release! I had a lot of fun creating this pretty birthday card. I got to use the new Happy Flowers Background Stamp. I love the pretty design of this stamp. I know that I'll be able to use it to watercolor, sponge, color -- today I thought I'd emboss it.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I embossed the image with pewter colored embossing powder onto watercolor paper. I knew I wanted to experiment with some Distress Ink, so I first sponged on the different colors, shading from blue to teal and then back out again. I wet the whole panel and let dry a little before going over with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink again -- the colors turned very bold and vibrant and gave the card an exotic, rich look! I stamped this fun image from Big Bold Birthday in the same ink color and placed in a Frame in Frame 2 die-cut frame cut from Metallic Neutral yardstick. A few little embellishments and I was done!</div>

Happy Thursday! I hope you are having a fun week this week. I certainly am! I got to create a couple of baby cards and play along with the team at <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> for their newest release of Clearly Planned photopolymer stamps and coordinating dies. FUN!</div>

This is definitely a year of babies. I know tons of moms-to-be, so this was the perfect excuse to create some baby cuteness. I used TE's new Hinged Insta-frames die set for this fun peek-a-book card. I created two matching ones. The first for a girl and the second that was more gender neutral. </div>

Hey, hey, crafty friends! I can't wait to share a super fun card I created for Release Day with <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/new.html">Taylored Expressions</a>! All things "space" are trendy right now, and I love love love this darling stamp set called <i>Space Cadet</i> with all its little outer space critters!</div>

I wanted to try out coloring with pencils on dark cardstock. I've seen this technique done around the internet and I thought it would be fun...and it was! I used watercolor pencils as they seemed easier to blend on the dark cardstock. I started by embossing with some white pearl embossing power, which stood out beautifully and helped me keep the details of the stamped images. The cool background is the new <i>Twinkle Twinkle Background</i>, which I stamped and embossed with platinum embossing powder for a nice shine.</div>

I wanted to make a spinner card and discovered that I could use the 'hoop' portion of the <i>Embroidery Hoop</i> die, which also gave me a built-in stopper. I decided on the cute puppy to orbit my embossed sentiment. My son absolutely loved this card and enjoyed playing with the spinner.</div>

Happy April, crafty friends! Today I get to share two pretty projects that I created for the April Release at <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/new.html">Taylored Expressions</a>. I'm excited to share them with you because they were so fun to create. The first project is this elegant card I made using the new Simply Stamped - Butterflies.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcWB2U64mEoF2JGkHpS537TpqQ4M7keVHIb700Sgm3zN2Mh37xG0lchUP1VEu5AujOvQYI4Weg0hP-FmYfHyXSE6xLdGW0YiLrfLlDzY6BSWStmLfZV2UTS8XvZGmEDE3xJ47c-ISFhpV/s1600/ReginaSSButterflies2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTcWB2U64mEoF2JGkHpS537TpqQ4M7keVHIb700Sgm3zN2Mh37xG0lchUP1VEu5AujOvQYI4Weg0hP-FmYfHyXSE6xLdGW0YiLrfLlDzY6BSWStmLfZV2UTS8XvZGmEDE3xJ47c-ISFhpV/s400/ReginaSSButterflies2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried out the new Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink on Oreo card stock and I thought the results were very nice -- inking on dark card stock is a challenge and these were fun to use. I added sparkle and shimmer with some Wink of Stella and Wink of Luna pens before die-cutting the butterflies out with the handy dies that coordinate. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzr_IWFet84SAOhJ-Fj1P4_Wc9L1YG5hFHCaGrOVsojurrabMXlEjYN2ZHmPBw34FqXFYcZajLIVw0kJ3ci-Qg90JK1srlfdddVedGJ1crh_fFGKGgwOWEEZ4CiwqGz3dM6Xempac8f4mx/s1600/ReginaSSButterflies3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzr_IWFet84SAOhJ-Fj1P4_Wc9L1YG5hFHCaGrOVsojurrabMXlEjYN2ZHmPBw34FqXFYcZajLIVw0kJ3ci-Qg90JK1srlfdddVedGJ1crh_fFGKGgwOWEEZ4CiwqGz3dM6Xempac8f4mx/s400/ReginaSSButterflies3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I carefully outlined using the pens. The shimmer is really lovely. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Ornate Frame Cutting Plate to frame up my card. I don't usually make black cards, so this was a little outside the comfort zone for me. I added some color by sponging more distress ink using one of the included frames in the Cutting Plate as a mask on vellum. I love how it looks on the Heavyweight Vellum!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next is a Mother's Day card I made with the new Block Party Mom die. It's a cool die because you can move it anywhere you want on your card. Here, I also used the new Quatrefoil Embossing Folder to add some pretty texture.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjptZnsfeN6pMK_wWlNGePbL-NlKfa6D7Aaa-2_NnYhYM0rA3Wm99A6mv4K9n15i6hIFVDghOK85ZY-i93MQ9VmfrMW2odHzYAHVDtfdSZa5-duWzcL_zTJxP3KSdUryddXWsUxyFNZWRUg/s1600/ReginaMomBloomers2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjptZnsfeN6pMK_wWlNGePbL-NlKfa6D7Aaa-2_NnYhYM0rA3Wm99A6mv4K9n15i6hIFVDghOK85ZY-i93MQ9VmfrMW2odHzYAHVDtfdSZa5-duWzcL_zTJxP3KSdUryddXWsUxyFNZWRUg/s400/ReginaMomBloomers2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used some TE Wool Felt in new heather colors, which I thought was brought out by the Earl Gray strips of card stock I added to the top and bottom of the "Mom". These were cut out using the new Mini Bloomers 2 die set. I topped each off with an Enamel Shape in Sugar Cube. Super sweet!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2VSqt-qgdeCISTywUZIOhSy4ISWOFCOMv_nDs_S70SYywJ8owT4CSbRFwOU5q7UXtGIm2R-TvHysi3_HCgIX_sSG97LcuryRZ-Nx_ulBsd5RO9zptHKp_HBr8pfKqlPjovENIA0MHT6VL/s1600/ReginaMOMBloomers3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2VSqt-qgdeCISTywUZIOhSy4ISWOFCOMv_nDs_S70SYywJ8owT4CSbRFwOU5q7UXtGIm2R-TvHysi3_HCgIX_sSG97LcuryRZ-Nx_ulBsd5RO9zptHKp_HBr8pfKqlPjovENIA0MHT6VL/s400/ReginaMOMBloomers3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And for the inside, I used the new sentiment set, Simply Said Mom. It was the perfect, simple way to finish off the card.</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Happy Thursday! I'm so excited because today is Release Day at <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/new.html">Taylored Expressions</a> and I am so in love with all the new products released this month. I actually have three projects to share today (one was created by my little rugrat!) and so let's get right to it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My first project features the new Sitting Pretty die set. It's such a great idea that was inspired by Taylor's art wall in her house. This card is for my husband, who travels and lot. I always try to include a little note when he goes away to remind him of all the love that is waiting for him at home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMBllWktrUWdWVgsjX0j1-3694dvfOwHytEOLI4y90mKbSkBr1jkTc5qYIWBZFwPRzhE2FIhIc6GFtWOHweox6SyKFolRBeftKGAMhqBARXLZjcKTjaRZF-DUtkXp1cYe2p8H-CVXpkMIU/s1600/ReginaSittingPrettyFinal3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMBllWktrUWdWVgsjX0j1-3694dvfOwHytEOLI4y90mKbSkBr1jkTc5qYIWBZFwPRzhE2FIhIc6GFtWOHweox6SyKFolRBeftKGAMhqBARXLZjcKTjaRZF-DUtkXp1cYe2p8H-CVXpkMIU/s400/ReginaSittingPrettyFinal3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <span style="text-align: center;">I die-cut out four of the darling frames included in the set from more muted colors. I used the Mini Caps Alpha and #s die set to spell out three of the four letters in "HOME". For the "O," I printed out a tiny pic of my husband with our little guy and placed it inside the frame. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUbNN3iGvIjDpfaVg8ymNbM44jfizkwi3U6sj6u1l3QVGyKMyME58vmHzDEfZ16B9USjMjb9rLqSiL1L7PkkrurjAmPYFS_ZxbqOIfVubihTRhbx0s2X8n2OCivB9hX1Bp7h3Tc9-AJMXX/s1600/ReginaSittingPrettyFinal2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUbNN3iGvIjDpfaVg8ymNbM44jfizkwi3U6sj6u1l3QVGyKMyME58vmHzDEfZ16B9USjMjb9rLqSiL1L7PkkrurjAmPYFS_ZxbqOIfVubihTRhbx0s2X8n2OCivB9hX1Bp7h3Tc9-AJMXX/s400/ReginaSittingPrettyFinal2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For my background, I used the new Subway Tiles Embossing Folder -- it's such a clean, crisp design, which I love. I added the included shelf to represent a mantle and added a sweet little Enamel Shape heart along with the rest of my sentiment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBSfJYllv2T90z0Tcz4cG4_CLDsm-DdZqhiPeiFDQOG3jirnTR7Gj6qO0nJcS-YVM2rZR84GlugQs8ujALbL7SMguKed2MuMB6arBzyeNgmCkfsle4wr7EgKuCz214XKuuZl0lINL4nq8c/s1600/ReginaMatchboxE1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBSfJYllv2T90z0Tcz4cG4_CLDsm-DdZqhiPeiFDQOG3jirnTR7Gj6qO0nJcS-YVM2rZR84GlugQs8ujALbL7SMguKed2MuMB6arBzyeNgmCkfsle4wr7EgKuCz214XKuuZl0lINL4nq8c/s400/ReginaMatchboxE1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> For my send project, I used the new Matchbox die set. It is so much fun! You can fill the little box with just about anything and makes such a sweet gift or greeting for someone. I wanted to create a little Easter shadow box for my little guy's Easter basket. I was inspired by the idea of those darling viewing eggs to create this fun little scene.<br />

I simply left the scalloped rectangle frame in place and die-cut it to create the little window. A few well-placed Nuvo drops were easy embellishments!</div><br />

The hill is a Stitched Circle Stacklet and the Wispy Grass Border was just perfect for my bunny. The "eggs" in the grass are Enamel Shapes!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

(He's the one pictured with my husband in the card.) He wanted to make a little car for a hand-drawn character he created and when he saw me working with the Matchbox die, he asked if he could make it into a car!</div><br />

</div>Hello there, crafty friends! Today is Release Day at <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/new.html">Taylored Expressions</a> and I am so excited to share two fun projects I created with fab new products from TE. The first is a birthday card that I created with the new online exclusive cutting plate, the Lattice Frame.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQHYW2FtKRE30m1oKWz7aF0HQfYEqCzcBnhRsngAkjIrCEMX9OdoRSBcQbxy_s7zkRrFT-Qhvn2bYuEKSc07bjVCZ1VMe0NW1YG7IeHvnahLMMv5rb1bNvKEkRJnDiEFG1bl4T_Eaivx_C/s1600/ReginaLatticeFrame3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQHYW2FtKRE30m1oKWz7aF0HQfYEqCzcBnhRsngAkjIrCEMX9OdoRSBcQbxy_s7zkRrFT-Qhvn2bYuEKSc07bjVCZ1VMe0NW1YG7IeHvnahLMMv5rb1bNvKEkRJnDiEFG1bl4T_Eaivx_C/s500/ReginaLatticeFrame3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love the intricate frame that it creates and I reached for Bloomers Greenery to add some creeping vines. I cut out a few of the blooms from the pretty Notable Blooms Background stamp that I had colored with watercolor and posed a few of those out for some dimension.</div><br />

Hey there, friends! I can't believe it's already time for the first release from <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> of 2017! I'm so lucky that I get to play along with all the talented ladies of this wonderful company. Today I'm sharing a pretty thank you card with you today that I created with some of the new products releasing today!</div>

I started off by stamping the pretty blooms from the just-released set Bloomin' Birthday. Obviously, I wanted to create a thank you card, so I found this pretty sentiment in one of my favorite sets, Noteworthy, which I stamped and die-cut using a Stitched Circle Stacklet. The Bloomin' Birthday set comes with coordinating dies, which made cutting out the flowers such a breeze!</div>

I chose my ink colors to mimic those in the Hello Happiness Patterned Paper Pack, which I used to trim the inside of the card. That gorgeous embossed background is the new Kaleidoscope Embossing Folder -- it's so pretty! I actually used the debossed side, and I love the double use from this folder! I framed up the whole card using a Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 die.</div>

Now, this set comes with darling little matching sentiments, but as I needed a thank you card, I scrounged around and actually found this random stamp that I don't even know where it came from -- but I love that the size of the little signs for the critters are big enough to use many, many of my existing stamps.</div>

Happy Thursday, crafty friends! I'm here today with a couple projects that I'm so excited to share with you! Today is Release Day for <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> and I am in LOVE because it's an all-Valentine's release! Yay! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The card above uses an online exclusive die, the new Floating Hearts Cutting Plate. Isn't it darling? Plus, for a limited time you can earn DOUBLE Crafty Points on this beauty. Visit <a href="https://tayloredexpressions.com/blog/blog/2016/12/05/sneak-peeks-love-is-in-the-cold-air/">this blog post</a> on the TE Blog for all the details!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create the card, I simple die-cut a frame using the plate and then used it a few more times on some pretty patterned paper. Placing the hearts back in was so fun! Then I added the new Sweet Script, cut from pink cardstock and then I added a little Copic Marker to create an ombre effect on the letters.</div>

My second card is a bit unusual. I call it my "ghost" surprise card -- at first glance, the lacquered hearts look blank. But, if you hold them up to a light...you get this:</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty cool, huh? I stamped the hearts from the new Filled with Love Stamp & Die Combo in the new Lavender Glaze Premium Ink and then added some clear Nuvo Crystal Drops over each one. It "hid" the sweet sayings! Here's another look:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the included die to cut the little windows. You can see in the background I used the new Conversation Hearts Embossing Folder. I ran it through my die cutting machine twice because I didn't want the impression to be too deep since I had a lot going on with the patterned background.</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's October and I can hardly believe the year is heading toward the holiday season already! I don't mind because I absolutely love Christmas. This week, <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> is releasing all it's holiday and Christmas goodness and I got to play along with their talented design team. Today I'm sharing a funny card I made with a few of the new products releasing TODAY!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the new <i>Elf Grumblings Stamp & Die Combo</i> on this Christmas card. I just love the darling little elf that looks a little punch drunk. I thought he went very well with the hilarious sentiment from the set.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigOhpY3zr1H2F9auRlvT_tzb_BXrBM1J2-wKklElSTgXFxRIdGYLQMcY1QxVPhlySkA0PgwOEiC8BvcPxjNQ1kt2ZKhQybfp-w1qQyMzaiV8p4fWhM_o-00QqzW4Yt1DojJ_II49DRyuHp/s1600/ReginaElf3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigOhpY3zr1H2F9auRlvT_tzb_BXrBM1J2-wKklElSTgXFxRIdGYLQMcY1QxVPhlySkA0PgwOEiC8BvcPxjNQ1kt2ZKhQybfp-w1qQyMzaiV8p4fWhM_o-00QqzW4Yt1DojJ_II49DRyuHp/s500/ReginaElf3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I chose to use some non-traditional colors on this card, which I think can really make a card stand out. I surrounded my grumply elf with a slew of presents die-cut from the new <i>All Wrapped Up</i> die set. I love all the different gifts you can make. I simple die-cut from yardstick and then added some dots, stripes, and sparkle with a Wink of Stella glitter pen.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbbPAos75QcrnBYUJckhhqQW6JKnVhG3iZyrEODYSW0Zp19WF8faGbS8DQ3RxcWf8LfxrCJrQrgwqHfsCE6iiZW5A_9h_pkAlQGKJ8BAEbIJ_sXrZi8_3b31DZUi0zp63rY7AZHKFpuKsR/s1600/ReginaElf4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbbPAos75QcrnBYUJckhhqQW6JKnVhG3iZyrEODYSW0Zp19WF8faGbS8DQ3RxcWf8LfxrCJrQrgwqHfsCE6iiZW5A_9h_pkAlQGKJ8BAEbIJ_sXrZi8_3b31DZUi0zp63rY7AZHKFpuKsR/s500/ReginaElf4.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This fun string of lights was created by die-cutting with the new <i>Skinny Mini Holiday Borders</i> and then I added some cool Nuvo Crystal Drops. They are much easier to control than other dimensional drops and I love them. See that stitched oval panel? Thats from the new <i>Stitched Oval Stacklets</i>! You can create stitched frames, too, with this nifty die set. The background snowflakes were stamped with the new <i>Snow Day Background</i> -- it's cool because it covers the whole card!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSoAgOFF84vKl8gSQR31ycs9WFjrcLb1gezI1W6bN1TFsD5eMrhX87N0oqdiXu_hPlv2NnLBLD3chYwzSWh_gen2i8gwdzkiHSg64flGNsgfUPkofz5HYUnvzHdqnBa5yOyA0Tcx921-F/s1600/ReginaElfGrumplings2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSoAgOFF84vKl8gSQR31ycs9WFjrcLb1gezI1W6bN1TFsD5eMrhX87N0oqdiXu_hPlv2NnLBLD3chYwzSWh_gen2i8gwdzkiHSg64flGNsgfUPkofz5HYUnvzHdqnBa5yOyA0Tcx921-F/s500/ReginaElfGrumplings2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope the elves survive Christmas this year! I colored mine with Copics and then added more subtle sparkle with the Wink of Stella pen.

Happy first of September, crafty friends! Today is an extra special day because it marks the 8th birthday of <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/new.html">Taylored Expressions</a>, a company I've had the pleasure of working with for several years now. It's been amazing seeing this tiny company grow and I've loved being a part of it. I created two cards with new products releasing today and I can't wait to share them with you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first uses a fab new cutting plate, the Happy Birthday Cutting Plate. This beautiful cutting plate is so detailed and I just love it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the cutting plate on several different colors of TE's premium cardstock. To get the different panels of color, including the bits of light blue in the balloons below, I replaced the negative pieces with the color of my choice. When I was done, I used an extra die-cut Sugar Cube and adhered it over the top -- it reminds me of fondant on a cake! I finished off with one single little piece of bling over the "i".</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my second card, I used a new stamp that I'm so happy about! It's called Word Search Background. Check it out!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by stamping the big background stamp on Sugar Cube cardstock with Earl Gray ink. If you look closely, there are lots of party words that you can circle or highlight. I stamped again on Salt Water Taffy cardstock and trimmed and adhered "Make a Wish" -- cute, yes?</div>

For my focal point, I used the exclusive FREE with purchase stamp & die combo set, Wish Big. This cute set is available for a limited time with $50 or more purchase. Check out the TE Blog for all the details on how to get your hands on it. I used the balloon and stamped on a white panel, along with the word "birthday." I stamped the word "happy" on some Hello Happiness patterned paper and die-cut it with the included die. Lastly, I stamped the little peeking cat from the recently released Clearly Planned Sneak a Peek set. </div>

I hope you enjoyed my two fun cards today! All new products are available in the <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">TE Store</a>. Have a happy day!</div>

Happy Thursday, crafty friends! I am so excited to share a card I created because today is Release Day at <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/new.html">Taylored Expressions</a> and I used fun new goodies from this spooky release! My card uses one of my very favorite new dies, By the Fireside, and I can envision so many different uses for this versatile die! I die-cut all the elements from thick, white cardstock. The 'wallpaper' behind the fireplace is from the new patterned paper pack, Playful Patterns - Haunted.</div>

I used the new Little Bits Cauldron and colored it with some glitter pens and placed it inside the fireplace. I embossed with the Brick Embossing folder for the back of the fireplace, which added some awesome texture.</div>

How cute is this little bat? He's from the new Gone Batty Stamp and Die combo set and you can personalize the little batty's face. I wanted to try out the new Sugar Cube Matched Hybrid Ink from TE and I love love love the clean, crisp lines I got when stamping on black cardstock -- <i>without heat embossing</i>! I placed the "Boo" sentiment inside a stitched frame and 'hung' it above the mantle. Above the fireplace I added a die-cut Little Bits Spider and Web.</div>

Happy day, crafty friends! I have a really fun card to share with you today using new products from Taylored Expressions. TE just released new, gorgeous <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/matched/ink.html">premium dye ink</a> and I got to play along with my friends there for Release Week! My card uses the new <i>Fresh Florals</i> stamp set which is just perfect to show off how awesome these new inks are.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After stamping on plain white cardstock in Salt Water Taffy, Candy Corn, and Granny Smith, I used the coordinating <i>Fresh Florals Dies</i> to die-cut my pieces. Just before I did that, I used matching Copic markers to add a bit of visual dimension to each of the pieces and I love how it turned out. I also added some clear Wink of Stella for a subtle, pretty glow.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Candy Corn ink to watercolor a soft background on watercolor cardstock before die-cutting using the new <i>Banner Stacklets 4</i>. I die-cut the next largest size banner in Salt Water Taffy to mat the banner and assembled my die-cut florals on top. I stamped my sentiment in Chocolate Truffle directly on more watercolor cardstock and I had a pretty, fresh thank you card!</div>

I began by cutting them from Deco Foil Foam Adhesive. This gave me a very subtle bit of dimension (great for mailing) and I didn't need a laminator.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="FullSizeRender_1" class="aligncenter" data-mce-src="https://tayloredexpressions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/FullSizeRender_1.jpg" height="400" src="https://tayloredexpressions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/FullSizeRender_1.jpg" width="368" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Once I die-cut the hexagons from <em>Hexagon Stacklets</em>, all I had to do was peel off the backing on one side and adhere it to the back (non-shiny) side of the foil transfer sheet. Then I simply lifted and there it was! I laid down the hexagons on a trimmed panel (which I had prepped with some pre-foiled washi tape for a bit of added visual interest.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="FullSizeRender_2" class="aligncenter" data-mce-src="https://tayloredexpressions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/FullSizeRender_2.jpg" height="400" src="https://tayloredexpressions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/FullSizeRender_2.jpg" width="299" /></div>I die-cut from <em>Oreo</em> cardstock the <em>Picture Perfect - Celebrate</em> frame and adhered it over the panel and added to my cardbase. I just love how shiny and cool the foil looks!</blockquote><br />

Hey there, crafty friends! This week is Release Week at <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/new.html">Taylored Expressions</a> and I had a chance to create something to help celebrate! Today I'm using some really fun new products that are coming out just in time for Father's Day and I can't wait to share the cool spinner card I made for my hubby.</div>

In the pic above, you can see how if you turn the earth, it spins around to reveal a photo! I'll explain a bit how I created it below:</div>

One of the new dies released this month is called <i>Whole Wide World</i>. Now, this very cool die includes all the pieces to create an actual globe, complete with stand and the darling heart-shaped die you see in the picture above. For this card, I used just the earth portion so that I could make my spinner. I started by creating some very cool background paper using some <i>TE Watercolor Yardstick</i> and some Colorburst. (Now <i>that</i> was super fun and messy!)<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I printed out a cute picture of my husband and our little rugrat and die-cut it with the included circle die from the set. I die-cut again with some dark blue cardstock. The trick to making the globe 'spin' is to simply lay a piece of string between the two circles before adhering them together. Then, I simply suspended it within a sandwich of cardstock that I trimmed to size and die-cut a window from using a larger circle die. I hope you can see that I also used the new <i>Lots of Stars Embossing Folder, </i>which I used and then ran through my Big Shot again to flatten out the stars just a little as I wanted it to be very subtle.<br />
<br />

I finished off the card with a simple panel of green yardstick and stamped with the perfect sentiment from the new <i>Best in the World</i> stamp set and a few enamel dots!<br />

Happy Thursday, crafty friends! Today is Release Day for <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> and I got to play along with my friends there to create something fun for Mother's Day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mother-in-law is a really big reader and a great lover of books. We tried to get her to read on an e-reader, but she couldn't get over the feel of having a real book in her hands. So I was really excited to see the new Build a Bookmark set of dies in this month's release! It coordinates perfectly with the previously-released Mark Your Spot Bookmark die to give it a really nice and pretty border. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJpEh4oEcB5oWVSoVdfUiIHELMfw_nI1tEWlWqVq5UdASiQNLmx8FrzPNAb0cEGsBV7PlZT-VppinSLUJKiOT5C06QMNK-kdpIC7pfX5mqAxFNznKl2Y_nxNEWjNad6PlGrfniIH6wX_V/s1600/FullSizeRender+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJpEh4oEcB5oWVSoVdfUiIHELMfw_nI1tEWlWqVq5UdASiQNLmx8FrzPNAb0cEGsBV7PlZT-VppinSLUJKiOT5C06QMNK-kdpIC7pfX5mqAxFNznKl2Y_nxNEWjNad6PlGrfniIH6wX_V/s350/FullSizeRender+copy.jpg" w="" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because this is a bookmark, I wanted to keep things as flat as possible, but I also wanted a bit of dimension. The Build a Bookmark die set comes with a ton of little embellishments, but I wanted to do some stamping on this project, so I used the new Simply Stamped - Peonies. Are they just so pretty? I love the dimension you can get with just ink! I used a Misti to do my stamping, but I know many people get wonderful results with a Stamp-a-ma-Jig, too. The coordinating dies made cutting out the images a dream.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to really highlight the beauty of the stamped flowers, so I kept things simple with the pretty Happy Mother's Day sentiment that comes with the set. I know that I'll be creating many more bookmarks (for myself and as gifts!) </div>

This month, TE is releasing dies to go along with one of my favorite stamp sets, <i>Hippo Birdy</i>. When I saw the elephant, it just made me think of a pink elephant and I stamped this little (big!) guy onto some patterned paper from the <i>Hello Happiness 6x6" Paper Pack.</i> The dies made cutting him out super easy. I created a little 'room' with more of the paper and added the new <i>Build a Scene</i> <i>Window</i> as seen below. (I used the <i>Bead Board Embossing Folder</i> to make my wallpapered wall.) The little conversation bubble is the new <i>Let's Talk Bubble </i>and the simple sentiment is from the new <i>Let's Talk Sentiments</i>. </div>

Here is a close-up of the window. Isn't it fun? I used some silver metallic twine as ties. The curtains would look cute in patterned papers, but I didn't want it to look too busy with my pretty 'wallpaper' in the background.<br />

Hi there, crafty peeps! Today I'm sharing some really fun new projects with you. I got to play along with my pals at <a href="https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> for Release Week and I can't wait to share what I've been creating!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA5hV2b7wp4UyjVmQMlztvxCx0HmyuW7flbmYnN4Hr-cdhUsiVbogRXz886zdaXzlkwQURms2b0BW3hZTHMAN_KxZ3lXNmtZVenPGz4A4XT61CevuJ72wS1WfWJi-Qt8dbedm9IguBAINs/s1600/DSC00149.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA5hV2b7wp4UyjVmQMlztvxCx0HmyuW7flbmYnN4Hr-cdhUsiVbogRXz886zdaXzlkwQURms2b0BW3hZTHMAN_KxZ3lXNmtZVenPGz4A4XT61CevuJ72wS1WfWJi-Qt8dbedm9IguBAINs/s500/DSC00149.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both projects I'm sharing use a new die called <i>In the Garden</i>. It's a beautiful silhouette die and in my first card I've paired it with the new <i>Center Stage</i> <i>Cutting Plate</i>. I absolutely love both these dies for the striking cards they can create. I sponged a sunset with distress inks and then adhered the silhouette over that. The <i>Center Stage</i> plate comes with a lot of little accouterment for the stage and I used the pretty curtain ties on this card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir42PXV7hgruDkn5t0wKznPambO_fyXJnSEOrfWRtwTySEBxWpE81o3X5O9S58cE49WZzuy-K4xj0tT1e135da4NH5EuyNYMTbQ8tcrW-xFntgRj93WQ8L6wOS6tzMVVGkmCiNx3sgotkF/s1600/DSC00141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir42PXV7hgruDkn5t0wKznPambO_fyXJnSEOrfWRtwTySEBxWpE81o3X5O9S58cE49WZzuy-K4xj0tT1e135da4NH5EuyNYMTbQ8tcrW-xFntgRj93WQ8L6wOS6tzMVVGkmCiNx3sgotkF/s500/DSC00141.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up is another card I made with <i>In the Garden, </i>but this time I trimmed off part of it so that I could focus on just the tree and bicycle. I love when I can get a lot out of a single die. I could just as easily used the girl and fence portion for this card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used <i>Stitched Square Stacklets</i> to frame the sponged die-cut (again with distress inks) and stamped a pretty sentiment on a <i>Stitched Banner Stacklets</i> banner. I am such a sucker for stitching!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoWLv7SXj3imazECeb_-KBemPVINKORboE1esT9fcbVcDc3vteNERee5vq987May9MkJLrwGxJg16A7ZCi9VCQOXdum-tHmGQ_s1Y5vko1wFY1sOLrWidCJ3gKYbL1UVzOtfnPI4BDq6wM/s1600/DSC00144.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoWLv7SXj3imazECeb_-KBemPVINKORboE1esT9fcbVcDc3vteNERee5vq987May9MkJLrwGxJg16A7ZCi9VCQOXdum-tHmGQ_s1Y5vko1wFY1sOLrWidCJ3gKYbL1UVzOtfnPI4BDq6wM/s500/DSC00144.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the new <i>iii Embossing Folder</i> and used the debased side as I wanted a flatter card. It's such a pretty pattern and I love the little butterflies fluttering among the vines. This pretty card was very quick -- it only took about 20 minutes and that was because I couldn't decide what sentiment to use!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you will visit my buddies at the <a href="http://tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com/">Taylored Expressions Blog</a> as they are sharing some really fantastic projects today! Release Day is this Thursday, so stay tuned!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Thursday, crafty peeps! It's been absolutely pouring down rain here all week (as you can tell by my photos today), but I'm still having fun with Taylored Expressions, which is releasing new products today for Petite-a-Palooza! This is when the company releases a bevy of very cool Stamp & Die combo sets, which are my favorite kind of stamp set! Today I'm sharing two cards that I created with some of the fun new stamps and dies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIY-aOsFDQxnq_ol3mmUDmKXlyGRaWSrXo5IXghhyphenhyphenRhfljgYHbtsy3_IulMF9n5Nwc5RGCXwWx1l8c_lEQ-Ov707XrgoXzbGUXoiB1RHOe5FXLYWZc43c56z4RAwINRlIlG9DR-0G9DcXq/s1600/P1062895.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIY-aOsFDQxnq_ol3mmUDmKXlyGRaWSrXo5IXghhyphenhyphenRhfljgYHbtsy3_IulMF9n5Nwc5RGCXwWx1l8c_lEQ-Ov707XrgoXzbGUXoiB1RHOe5FXLYWZc43c56z4RAwINRlIlG9DR-0G9DcXq/s500/P1062895.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first card uses a fun new die, <i>Picture Perfect Smile/Hello</i>. The fun thing here is that I also used the new <i>Let's Talk Edger 1</i> conversation balloon die. I put this behind the "hello" in the frame as if the sea creatures are the ones doing the talking. I colored up the darling fish, jelly, and octopus with Copics and added some Wink of Stella to add some sparkle. I added the waves by using the negative from the new <i>Stitched Scallop Edger</i> and added some white Wink of Stella to give them some foam.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the inside, I stamped the sweet sentiment and added the <i>Stitched Scallop Edger</i> piece that I originally cut out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my second card, I wanted to use the <i>Let's Talk Edger 1</i>, which is just the thing when you want to make a statement! In this case, a fun thank you card expressing big thanks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept things simple by stamping, coloring, and cutting out a darling little own from <i>Sunshiny Day</i>. I placed her on a hill cut using <i>Build a Scene Rolling Hills</i> and spelled out 'thanks' using the <i>Tall & Skinny Alpha</i>. This was a quick card, but so fun to make and a fun to to receive, too!</div>
