Plum Tart from Taylored Expressions!

It’s another fun release from Taylored Expressions today! The newest color has finally joined the family full throttle- Plum Tart! You’ll also want to head over to the TE Website today because there are a lot of fun things to help you organize all your TE colors! And organizing is half the fun right? 😁

For this card, I used the Stitched Easy Strips in Plum Tart, Pear, Cake Pop and Royal Icing. It’s a fun and different color combo for sure–sort of something I’d think of for a retro candy shop look–must be the stripes 🙂

I love all the texture the Stitched Easy Strips give. I used the newer Mega Messages- Friend die along with a Simple Strip to complete this card.

Turned out so festive and sweet–like candy. 🙂
Be sure to check everything out in this release. There is a fun new binder in the mix too! Eeep! I do love organizing!

 Here are my supplies…

Timeless Blooms from Taylored Expressions

I believe this is a day many have waited for over at Taylored Expressions –Timeless Blooms is now available widely!

These were fun to make and I look forward to sharing them today. Be sure to check out everything over at the TE Website.

The Timeless Blooms Create-in-Quad is lovely to create with for SO many occasions. The colorway I used last year with this set was one of my favorites, but goodness, these turned out beautiful too! And I was able to use the new Quilted Cutting Plate Die–which is a super duper fast fave for sure!

This is a combo of colors–using a VERY light hand. Which is challenging for me to do 🤭. I like to get in there and BLEND! ha! 🙂

The colors I used for these flowers are: Royal Icing, Cake Pop, Bleu Cheese, Pear, Green Tea and Brussels Sprout.

If you want to duplicate these colors, I’d say just play around and see what you come up with–it could be even better! The key is to use a light hand for sure.

They are lovely flowers!

The sentiments are from the previously released Sundry Sentiments – Fall Stamp Set (and coordinating die, sold separately).

So sweet!  And I used a technique to highlight the individual blooms on this card below. 🤍

Eeeeep these are fun! This color combo I went with turned out lovely. 😍

Here are the cards from the previous release of Timeless Blooms. You can read that previous post HERE.

Again, you can read that post HERE. (These blooms were previously in a card kit 😉)

Cute Combos from Taylored Expressions

We are getting close to wrapping up the year, but over at Taylored Expressions, they are just getting cuter–combos! 😉😊

This first one is called Let’s Bond Stamp & Die Combo and I cannot handle the cuteness! Of course, now I can also put faces on everything, so that could be a problem eventually too. 🤣

The little test tube face though–adorable! Of course, they also needed googley eyes. Naturally.

The background is created with the Embossing Folder – Bursting Dots.

Next up, we have one for the gamers! This one is called Level Up. I paired it with the previously released Feel the Beat.

I’m actually beginning to wonder if my son’s earphones are attached to his head permanently. 😆

Love this one for all the occasions.

One heals of the scientific cuteness, we have straight up smiley cuteness! This one is called: Smiley Squad! And they are just that!

Naturally, we needed a full rainbow of them and naturally they too NEEDED googley eyes!! 🙂

This set is skyrocketing to the front of my bin to grab for allllll the cards!! So simple and so delightful!

And last, but not least, we have Game Night! This one is for all of you Euchre and Bunco fans out there!

I thought a shaker would be super fun for the dice–Bunco!
