Berry Basket

One of my favorite releases at Taylored Expressionsis always the Second Chance release. Not only because I always love the freebies (and who doesn’t like a gift?), but because there are always little additions added when they officially release into the TE Catalog of goodness.

So let’s give these a Second Chance–in case you missed them in round one!

First up, we have the Berry Sweet–I could not love this Berry Basket more! I am looking at everything now and wondering if I can put it in this Berry Basket? 🙂

Of course, these scream summer to me, and berries and gingham go hand in hand for summer, so naturally, I used the Gingham Checked Background, cut out with the Stitched Frame Stacklets 3. I created an ombre Gingham starting with Gumball at the top and Blueberry at the bottom.

I thought it would be fun to make the leaves in two different greens and stitch those up. I actually die cut a ridiculous amount of leaves and have those all ready to go for more cards (hopefully) soon! 🙂 The background is created with the Stitched with Love Cutting Plate and I added some Stickles to wrap this one up sweetly!

Next up, let’s checked out the Sketched Hearts! I think this one was from around the time of the Valentine’s release? Or was it in February? Hmmmmm either way, it’s a fun one! I thought I’d mix it up and use the hearts to create a flower–and goodness–I didn’t know it would work out so well. These are the perfect hearts for such! 🙂

I used Blue Raspberry to die cut the hearts, which I was happy about because apparently I don’t use too much Blue Raspberry. Who knew? I used an Easy Strip (1/8″) to create the stem out of Granny Smith.

I used the Rounded Rectangle Stacklets and the Ridged Rounded Rectangle Stacklets to create the border on Cupcake cardstock and the Cloudy Skies Piercing Plate for the background. The sentiment is from the Mini Strips – Floral stamp set. Such a sweet and simple card.

Lastly for today, I created this simple little Thank You using the Beautiful Butterflies Die and the Foil It – Beautiful Butterflies.

I didn’t add the Butterfly torso on here–instead it lays on my desk still 😂. But I recommend doing that. The sentiments are from the New Mini Strips – Fluttering By and of course the Mini Strips dies to cut those out of Dragon Fruit cardstock. (Have I mentioned how much I love Dragon Fruit?😍)

The circle placemat is create with the Petite Scallop Circle Stacklets and the Embossing Folder Dotted Diamonds. Simply delightful!

These could be created in batches for sure! 🙂

And I thought I’d add in the projects I made before, using some of these Second Chance products releasing today. Note: There are lots of fun additions now–including dies to cut some of these goodies out! LOVE that! You can find all these goodies in the Second Chance release today.
