Second Chance Release

It’s Throwback Thursday today, over at Taylored Expressions! That means more Second Chance releases, with several extras now available to also add on! Eeeps! And the Petal Pop is one of my faves!

Let’s get poppin’!

First up, I have this fun little number using the fabulous new Shaker Bubbles! Goodness I do enjoy these–they remind me of the Trouble bubble! We played a lot of Trouble in our house and that plunk pop will always be in my head 😂. (But don’t push this bubble! 😉)

I paired the Shaker Bubble with the previously released Gumball Machine and it fits perfectly! I used the one pierced ring from the Petal Pop set to make the Shaker Bubble a snugger fit bc I liked that look, but I think you ca do without it too?

My son and I went shopping for candy before I made this card (phew!) and Good & Plenty was the only thing available that day. (Don’t get me wrong, I love Good & Plenty!). But I was hoping to get a box of Rainbow Nerds or Mini M & M’s. In the end, these worked out great because they aren’t sticky, probably take a lot of heat to melt and drove the color scheme. 🙂

The Mini Strips are from the I’d Chews You set. The background is stamped and clear heat embossed using the striped part of the Americana set. I finished it off with some Little Bits-Hearts (out of Black Glossy Cardstock) and some Black Drip Drops.

Here’s a look at the inside!

The true celebration is that I remembered to take photos of the inside! I used the new Pull To Open die that created a perforated line for your recipient to pull open and grab whatever is in the bubble. I put mine on the inside and added some fun with The Insiders-Thank You stamp set and the I’m Interactive set.

This created a fun and unexpected card! And while you would need to pack it a little gingerly and add some extra postage, it does mail! Mine is now at TE and I believe it arrived safely! 🙂

Next up, this fun Shaker Bubble with the Petal Pop set–a fave! Love this bold and whimsy flower!

Not to mention those cute bees! I gave the Flower a little Pop with MINI SLIM STENCIL – ON THE DOT.

And the sentiment is from the Pop Sentiments–Those are also a fave! I love the sweet font!

Edited to ADD THIS CARD! I can’t believe I forgot it today–because I’m SUPER excited that the Fanfare Cutting Plate is out for all now and this Fanfare Layering Stencil set is 🤩🤩🤩! If you use it yourself, you will understand my glee too! 🙂

And the Mythical Grumpling Unicorn with the Snarky Simple Strip. This is my kind of card. 😂🤣

In case you missed the previous cards I created when the the Petal Pop was the monthly exclusive gift, here those are too–that bee really makes it, doesn’t s/he?! 😊

Such Fun! I want to use these all the time to send some happy mail! 🙂

Lastly, because I don’t think I have shared the July Exclusive Gift here yet, these are those cards using the Summer Nights Layering Stencil. Makes me what to get a jar and collect bugs to glow for a few minutes, doesn’t it?

Here is the TE news from the week– Don’t forget to check out the sale over at TE this week too! Grab Bags and lots of things retiring — they will not be restocked.

Here are my supplies for ease to TE Shopping! 🙂

Happy Tuesday! It’s an exciting one as this release is always a fave of mine–It’s the Second Chance release over at Taylored Expressions! In case you missed things when they were offered as exclusive gifts and wanted one, this is for you! I also enjoy it because there are always new things to go along with the previous things–making everything even better–when it was great to begin with!

First up, let’s enjoy the Big Cheers Cling & Clear Combo! I am a huge fan of large words–stamps and dies and now… there is a die for this one- Big Cheers Die–Which makes it even better! This also features the new Signature Cocktails Stamp & Stencil Combo which was super fun to use–I love how these colors turned out!

I actually die cut the word Cheers out because I thought I’d use it just raised up, but it didn’t look as great as the stamped ombre word, so I went with that and added some stitching, of course. You could also easily add Simple Strip to bring this for celebrating a specific accomplishment or occasion.

I love layers of stencils to add all the little details and using the TE Detail Blender Brushes make this WAY easy to do now!

Next up, we have the Giftables Cute Carton! Along with that, I also used the new Take Two – Pretty Polka Stencil which makes quick work of covering the carton pieces with a stencil!

I used the rainbow die that is included with the Giftables Cute Carton to make a window and then I added Mini M&M’s behind it! Oh so cute! The cute little tag is made with the now for purchase Little Bits – Rainbow Coin and the newly released Coin Companions! The Coin dies are so fun and I can’t wait to use them more now! Too cute!

And lastly here is the new Woodland Ferns die–along with the new Mini-Strips-Sympathy. These actually pair swimmingly together. I die cut the Woodland Ferns and then blended some inks on before putting them on the embossed panel.
