Feel the Beat

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!

Today, Taylored Expressions has this fun new release picked by TE Customers! Lots of goodies are added to the catalog by YOU and available over at Taylored Expressions today!

This is the new Boots & ‘Brellas Die Set and it goes swimmingly with so many flowers in the TE line up. I adore this Umbrella and I wanted to use just this to make a card–Because I love Rainbow umbrellas on a rainy day!

I even used Dried Fig–so that’s something, right? A little blurple addition! The sentiment is from the Drop a Note set which now has coordinating dies–can I get a whoop whoop! 😎

I created the background of this card using the Cloudy Skies Piercing Plate, A2 Thin Frame Cutting Plate and Diagonal Stitch Rectangle Stacklets. This turned out so fun to send a friend in the mail! These new dies go so well with lots of things in your stash for sure–I can’t wait to tinker around some more myself!

Next up, let’s pop back to the 80’s a bit shall we? Anyone still have a working tape deck? I still have tapes, but I can’t say I have anywhere to play them. 😆

This card includes the previously released Mix Tape (originally in the card kit) and this new set of Headphones from the Feel the Beat set.

These great sentiments are from the Mini Strips – Mix Tape and the 80’s background is the Mix Master Background Stamp.

The embossed panel was created with the Embossing Folder – Tiny Twinkles. It’s so fun how this came together and I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wanted to listen to a little 80’s rock now! 😂
