Taylored Expression Release Day!!

Happy Friday everyone!!  Today is an exciting day, because I get to play along with the rest of the baker's dozen and show you some cards using two of the latest Taylored Expression stamp sets!  Yay!!  Everything should be ready to order, so get to shopping!!  Today is also an exciting day, because Cath featured me on the latest Moxie Fab Blog post, Inspiring Lovelies from Around the Blogsphere!  And guess what....it is the card that I made when revealing that I was the guest DT member for Taylored Expressions!  I would love for you to go and check out the post! 

The first card I am going to share with you uses the new stamp set called "New Beginnings".  This is such a pretty and whimsical set...it makes me {sigh} a little.  Beautiful sentiments, flowers and butterflies...could you ask for me?!  Why yes...you can!  Because it also has a label/frame stamp with a matching die to cut out said label/frame.  Awesome!  I also used some of the papers from the Valentine Project Pantry kit!  I used Twisted Cards Sketch #40 as inspiration, and here is what I came up with:

"Live the Life You've Imagine" supplies: 

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

Paper: We R Memory Keepers (Be My Valentine: Irresistible & Love Letters) 

Stamps/Steel Label Die: Taylored Expressions (New Beginnings set, Frame It Up 1 die) 

Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: celadon & Chalk: rose coral) & Tsukineko (Versafine: onyx black) 

Ribbon: American Crafts

Flowers: Prima

Pearls: Kaiser Craft 

Glitter: DecoArt

Corner Rounder: EK Success

Border Punch: Fiskars (Apron Lace) 

Diecut Machine: Cuttlebug by Provo Craft 

For  my second card, I used the new stamp set "Kid at Heart".  This set is SO ca-ute!  Cute little punny sentiments with cute little images and a cute little frame to finish it off.  Love it!  Any kid {or adult for that matter} would love to get a sweet Valentine using this stamp set!  I also used some more papers from the Valentine Project Pantry kit for it.  Here is the end result: 

"Loads of Love" supplies: 

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics

Paper: We R Memory Keepers (Be My Valentine: Dearest) 

Stamps: Taylored Expressions (Kid at Heart set) 

Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: cranberry) & Tsukineko (Dye: dandelion & Versafine: onyx black)
