Taylored Expressions Release Day: Perfect Pair - Milk & Cookies


Happy Thursday my crafty little friends!  It's Release Day over at Taylored Expressions, which means you can go shopping {grin}!  There are so many new products being released to get your creative juices flowing for those soon-needed Valentine love/friend projects.

I'm showing you the new set called Perfect Pair - Milk & Cookies.  Aren't they just adorable?!


I decided to use the set to make some cookie pouches with white treat bags.  The papers come from the new Matched Kit called Formula For Love paper pack.  Not only that, but TE has some amazing previously released dies (Label Stacklets 4 & Label It) that work so well with just about any set.


If you'd like to see more projects and new product information, please head over to the TE Blog for a complete blog roll of the participating designers!  Thanks for stopping in!

Jelly Donuts

Stamps:  I Love Donuts
Ink:  Distress Dusty Concord, Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper:  October 2014 Card Kit
Accessories:  Copics, foam tape, splatter stencil, sponge

I always try to look on the bright side of things, and this set from Simon Says Stamp called I Love Donuts was just too good for me to pass up.  My uncle was having a rough time a while back and is still getting through it.  Thankfully he's a pretty upbeat guy, and always seems to find the good.  His situation was pretty grim compared to my measly 8 weeks on crutches, and yet he was still more concerned about me each time I would call him.  I love that guy, so I made him this card.  A card like this wouldn't be good for just anyone in his situation, but he has the humor to look passed it and laugh.

The background is a stencil that I've had for a while. It has no name, and I don't even know the manufacturer, but it was perfect for the jelly splatters that I made with some distress inks.

Thanks for stopping in!

Jingle All the Way!


Happy Black Friday, crafty friends!  I hope you're getting some great deals this morning!  Me?  I'm only shopping from the comfort of my pjs and my chair.  I'm still on crutches with no weight bearing for a bit longer, so I'm not even thinking about getting out amongst the chaos.  I do, however, have a card to show you today to hopefully get you in mood for some Holiday shopping!  I used a bunch of great products from Taylored Expressions. . .always a place I love to spend my money *grin*.

My card uses the Gingerbread Lane Matched Kit from TE along with the matching Gingerbread Lane sequins and the Jingle All the Way die.  I'll let you in on a little secret. . .I like to keep my packaging from my stamps and dies and use the clear cellophane to make my windows for my shaker cards.  It doesn't cost anything, and I always have an excess of packing *wink, wink*.


Thanks for stopping by!  Here are the links to the products I used in the TE store!  Happy shopping!!

O Holy Night


Hey Everyone!  I hope you're having fun prepping for Holiday events!  I'm having fun prepping by making more cards.  I won't get out as many as I usually do, because of being laid up.  However, I was super inspired by Kristina Werner's Holiday Card Series.  In particular, I fell in love with THIS card she made, and fashioned my card to look a bit like it.  I used a bunch of Taylored Expressions goodies to make mine.  The set is called Sing of the King, the die is called the Bethlehem Border, and the embossing folder is called Sheet Music.  I made the stars using Perfect Pearls and water,

Taylored Expressions: Small Packages


Happy Monday, crafty peeps!  I have a few fun little card/gift card holders to show you this morning.  I had a ton of fun crafting these little bad boys using a bunch of the new products from Taylored Expressions.  The cards are just big enough to hold a gift card with a small pocket inside each one.  I love to give gift cards because we live so far from all of our family, but it isn't always practical for me to send anything thicker than a letter.  That is why these work perfectly for me.  However, I did end up buying a bunch of the new tins and and products to go with making gift card tins from TE.  I could NOT resist ;)


These will be great to have on hand whenever I need a quick holder for a gift card.  I used the TE Pockets & Pages Medallion Showcase die, which is such a great die to use on all kinds of projects from scrapbooking to card making.  that Medallion Showcase die is perfect for all of the super affordable Little Bits dies that TE carries like the ones I used: Donut, Coffee Cup, & Milk Bottle.  I love the new stamp set, Small Packages, because I can see using it over and over.  I ended up using the Double the Fun Paper Pack along with the Double the Fun Boy sequins.  TEs Matched line of products are just amazing!


I'm glad you stopped in this morning, and I hope you have been inspired to get started on a little bit of your Holiday gift giving projects.  Here is the list of all of the great TE products I used and direct links to the store to get them :D
