I definitely recommend NOT waiting to purchase if you’re interested–I’d guess this will sell fast! 🙂

I used all the colors: Dragon Fruit, Sweet Potato, Pumpkin, Candy Corn, Lemon Meringue, Pineapple, Mango, Dill Pickle, Cookie Monster and Snow Cone.

For this card, I used I used a rainbow of colors to create these Mini Slims. I am looking forward to making this Triple Slim again in retro kitchen colors–the colors I grew up with in the 70’s and 80’s–oh yes! 🙂

I used the Mini Strips: You’re the Best set for all the sentiments.

These were fun to make! All the kitchen things! I used the Diagonal Stitched Mini Slim Stacklets on the one below.

Eeeeeeep! And the BIGGEST news is the TE Detail Blending Brushes!!!! OH goodness–you all are going to love these. I love the handles on them and they get into all the little nooks and crannies! So GREAT! 🙂

I don’t know about you, but these make me want to bake! So cute to mail out to friends too! The coffee cup one would be fun to accompany a tea gift or include a coffee gift card, right?

Taylored Expressions: Snow Crystals Kit!

Today there is a new release over at Taylored Expressions and it’s the TE October Card Kit! Snow Crystals! Oddly this is fitting because while today is Halloween (Happy Halloween!), it is supposed to snow here in Chicagoland! 🎃 Burrrrrrr!

Let’s get this snowy party started! First up, I foiled a couple cards–always so fun to see the results!

This first one I foiled with Rainbow foil, but this piece only included the blues/purples/pinks. It turned out snowytastic, if I do say. The foil is always hard to capture in photos, but in person it is oooo la la, I promise 😊

I also used the Diagonal Stitched Rectangle Stacklets to jazz this one up a smidge more. I die cut the big snowflake from Dragonfruit to tuck behind my sentiment that is heat embossed in Rose Gold–on Sour Gummy (of course) and backed with the TE Silver Glitter Cardstock. I love Happy New Year cards–it also buys you a few more days to get them out! 😂

This next one, I kept really simple, but I wanted to foil this Swirling Snow Foil It with Summer Rainbow (ironic, I know). And the insider sentiment fit perfectly so I had to use that because Hibernating is REAL!

I feel these cards to much today as I bundle up to go outside!

For both of these, I added gold splatters from the Gansai Tambi – Starry Colors Set to give them both that extra sparkle of interest– perfect for cool cards! 🙂

I’ll see you when I’m done hibernating–and yes, I’m starting on Halloween apparently this year! Ha!

Next up, I wanted to stamp all the snowflakes and of course, had to rainbow it up!

I used all the colors of the rainbow (yes, even the violets!) and then finished it off the with the chunky sparkle of Fluffy Snow! Again, in person, this is delightful, but you basically cannot see it in the photos 😋.

This kit makes snow cards fun, quick and EASY! I’m always a fan of that, especially when I need a quick card ready yesterday! 🙂

All these products are available now over at Taylored Expressions. See my links below 🙂

Taylored Expressions–From the Heart Release!

Today there is a new release over at Taylored Expressions and it is truly From the Heart! Sometimes these cards are just meant to be fun and encouraging and sometimes, unfortunately we have to send these cards for other reasons.

First up, probably the card I send the most next to Thank You cards is Thinking of You. I went with that for this card using the new Set The Scene – Mountaintops and Wings of Love.

For this card, I used Sour Gummy, Dijon/Honey and Huckleberry to create the mountain tops. I love how this turned out on a Mini Slim. You can add as many layers of mountains as you’d like, but I stopped myself at three to leave some breathing room.

The Wings of Love is a perfect complimentary stamp and I see myself using this one often along the way. I finished this off with some white splatters and the Diagonal Stitched Rectangle Stacklets. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out, but I really like it in the end. I could go hang out in the serenity of this card for a wee bit!

Next up, a couple fun ones sure to life someone up! These use the new Insiders – Encouragement and immediately I thought of the previously released Bun-derful Birthday set to accompany them. 🙂

I think this taco sentiment is oh so true! I foiled it with Black foil to give it some pop and used the TE Glitter Cardstock (black) cut with the Frame in Frame 2 to give it some flair! 🙂

This one I foiled with Pewter foil and cut it out with the recently released Tag Stacklets 4. I blended one some Cherry Pop ink which actually gives it a little pink hue to the foil, but I like it! 🙂
