Happy Tuesday! I hope you are doing well. Today I have two projects to share with you using the new Taylored Expressions Adventure Awaits card making kit. This kit is ADORABLE! This kit will be available while supplies last so you will want to hurry to get yours before they are gone.

My first card is inspired by my daughter who is about to head out on a trip to Japan for a fun educational opportunity and to visit her cousin. Needless to say I’m more than a little jealous. She ask picked up all pink luggage for her trip so I went with that theme for this card. I used Bubblegum cardstock for the background along with a little strip of Poppyseed inked onto Sugar Cube using the candy cane stripes from Stencil Strips Holiday. I stenciled all of the kit images on Sugar Cube using Bubblegum ink with Cookie Monster and a little bit of Tropical Punch and Oyster. Then I arranged everything over the map background stamped with Oyster on Sugar Cube.

For my second card I focused on the camera image on the stencil and I actually inked up a full rainbow but only ended up using part of it. I used the left over map piece from my first card along with some of the little add on images.

Hi everyone! I hope your Tuesday is off to a good start! Today I have two cards to share with you from the Taylored Expressions Care and comfort release. My first card features Frond Embrace. This die is a leafy edge die that could be used for so many things! I created an acetate front card using the die as the edge that holds on the acetate. So start this card I die cut Frond Embrace from Granny Smith cardstock and inkced it with Cilantro. I cut a 5×7 piece of acetate and adhered the leaf die cut to the edge, folding it over along the fold line. Next I adhered this to a 5×7 piece of Confetti Cake that I lightly ink blended from the bottom up to create the card. I added flowers from Fresh Cut Flowers in Raspberry Sorbet, Butter Cream Frosting and Rose Water cardstock. The sentiment strips are from Mini Strips – Sympathy. On the inside of the card I die cut a piece of Sugar Cube with Label Stacklets 13 and also placed a die cut of Banana Cream Pie one size smaller on the inside of the acetate so a message can be written on the inside but not seen from the outside.

I layered these and added a frame cut from Frame in Frame 3 out of Confetti Cake cardstock. Over this I added a die cut of the Artistic Branch die in Peapod and the underlay piece is cut from vellum and inked with Cilantro ink. The sentiment is from Mini Strips – Sympathy.

Hi everyone! Welcome to a fun Throwback Thursday at Taylored Expressions. We have a fun mini release for you featuring a fantastic cardmaking kit that previously released and now has some new additions. The Seeds & Such collection features gorgeous retro styled seed packet stamps for veggies and now flowers!

For my card I used the sunflower from the Flower Garden Layering Stencil (Pineapple, Honey, Mocha, Granny Smith, Cilantro) and the coordinating dies to create the flower. I stamped the Seeds & Such background stamp on Sugar Cube cardstock with Honeydew Melon ink and die cut it with the coordinating die. On the center I inked a little bit of Confetti Cake ink. This was mounded on Pineapple cardstock cut with the A2 Postage Stamp Stacklets. For the base I swipes a mini Sugar Cube ink pad on Toffee cardstock and then stamped the Shiplap background stamp with Latte ink over the top. I distressed the edges a bit and wrapped a little twine between the background and the image layer. The sentiment on the seed package was stamped from Seeds & Such Flowers Clear Stamp Set.

That’s it for me today! I hope you have a wonderful day!

To make this card I started out with a Pink Champagne cardbase and then stamped another Pink Champagne piece of cardstock with the Cross Stitch 6×6 Background Stamp in Pink Champagne and die cut it with the Stitched A2 Layer Stacklets dies. Next I stamped the Seeds & Such Background Stamp on Sugar Cube with Latte ink and die cut it with the Seeds & Such Die. I lined the opening with left over acetate from some stamp packaging and stamped the word Buttons from Seeds & Such – Sew Essentials Clear Stamp set in Versafine Clair and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I added the little 25 cent stamp also from the same set. Under this I created the button card by die cutting each button from Little Bits Buttons twice out of Pink Champagne, Pineapple, Guava, Kiwi, Cake Pop and Gumball. I layered the die cuts together to make the buttons a little taller and adhered them to a piece of Sugar Cube sized to fit and stamped with the divider lines. I added a little pair of scissors from Little Bits – Scissors, a spool of thread from Little Bits – Spool and the thread from Little Bits – Needle & Thread. The sentiments are from Sew Essentials Stamp & Die Combo and Bitty Strips Sew Essentials.

My next card features the new Family Tree Stamp & Stencil Combo along with the Little Bits – Birds & Birdhouses dies.

To start this card I created a Toffee cardbase and roughed it up with a Tim Holtz Distress Tool and then inked the edges with Latte ink. Next I stamped the tree from Family Tree ink Green Tea ink and stenciled the flowers in Pineapple ink. I die cut the birds and birdhouses from Honey, Gumball, Latte, Cherry Pop, Green Tea and Black Licorice cardstock and arranged them around the tree. At the bottom I tied some twine and add the With Symapthy sentiment from the From the Heart Sentiment set and die cut with the coordinating die.

Happy Tuesday! Today is the Taylored Expressions calendar release! Today I have two projects to share with you. The first one uses the 2027 Portrait Desk Calendar with Soft Surroundings and His Word 1.

I finished up with some flowers from Garden Variety in Pineapple, Confetti Cake and Guava.

My second project is a perpetual event calendar that is used to record special events that re-occur each year. To add designs to this one I used Stencil Strips Calendar – this is a super quick way to ink these up for a gift. You could also add die cuts for even more or foil the month on each one!
