Taylored Expressions May Spotlights - Mr. & Mrs. Cutting Plate - Graphic Greetings Dad

Hi All! And a Very Happy Friday to you! 8-) Aren't you just Loving all the Fabulous New Goodies? Hope you are Loving them as much as I am! 8-) And just in case you didn't get a chance to stop by yesterday, I'm Sharing the news again...8-)  All of the new Taylored Expressions products are now available in the Fresh Out of the Oven Department. Whoo Hoo!! Time to do some Shopping! Yay! lol 8-)

Well, today I'm back to share it's Designers choice for one last May New Release project! Yay! And I've been having so much fun with all the New Release Goodies, that I couldn't pick just one, lol  so I have Two Last projects for you today! And the first one features the Beautiful Brand New Mr. & Mrs. Cutting Plate... 8-) Can I just say, this is Truly one Beautiful Cutting Plate!! You can make such Fabulous Wedding day creations with it & all in the blink of an eye, or a turn of the handle on your Die Cutting machine, that is, lol ;-)
Well for my creation today, I was going for a Soft Subtle & Elegant look... Not sure if I achieved it or not, but My Hubby says he thinks I did... I always Love to get his opinion on my creations.. 8-)  Either way, I think it turned out pretty Sweet if nothing else, lol And it's actually much more sparkly IRL... 8-) For my Mats & BG Layers I chose Choice Buttercream CS and Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 Collection and lots of Stardust Stickles! ;-)  And I popped it all up with a bit of foam tape for some fun dimension.. 8-)

Next up, I just HAD to create one more card with The Awesome New Graphic Greetings Dad Stamp! I Sooo Love all the Graphic Greetings stamps!! They just make it So easy and fun to whip up Fabulous cards in a snap! And Hey, what's not to Love about that! ;-)
& to top it all off, I So Love how this Fun Father's Day card turned out and it came together really quickly too! 8-) For my Focal panel, I first lightly smudged my black CS with Frost White Color box ink , and **Very importantly, used my embossing buddy BEFORE stamping The Brand New Graphic Greetings Dad image also with Frost White Colorbox ink, and then embossed it with white EP. (The Embossing buddy helps prevent the Embossing powder from sticking anywhere else but the stamped image..) And I added a bit more white ink smudges after embossing just for good measure...8-) I double matted my image and popped it up with a bit of foam tape.  My  BG card bases were created with Bazzill CSKraft CS, TE's Star Border Die and Simple Stories 24/7 6x6 Paper Pad... And there you have it, pretty easy peasy, huh?...;-) 

The Baker's Dozen have lots more Amazing Goodies in store for you this morning, so hop on over and see... 8-)

Taylored Expressions May Release Day - Birch Tree Accessories

Hi All! And a Very Happy Thursday to you! 8-) Haven't you just Love all the Fabulous Sneak Peeks the last couple of days!! I know I sure have!! 8-) Well I've got some really Great News!... All of the new Taylored Expressions products are now available in the Fresh Out of the Oven Department. Yay!! Time to do some Shopping! Whoo Hoo! ;-)  

Today I am sharing a couple more Fun projects both featuring the Brand New Birch Tree Accessories Dies, but in two Very different ways... For my first project, I combined it with the Brand New Birch Tree Border Die & the Brand New Greetings For Him Stamp set for a Super Masculine Father's Day card!...8-)
Can I just tell you, I was so Happy with how this card turned out! The Birch Tree Border Die and Birch Tree Accessories Dies & TE's Grass Border Die really made it so easy and Super quick too! And I don't know about you, but I'm ALL for being able to turn out something that looks Great in very little time! lol ;-)
I created my focal panel by shading Choice Snow White CS with Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey & Scattered Straw Distress inks for a warm sunset BG and Hershey Canvas Bazzil CS for my silhouetted scene. I stamped my Greetings For Him Sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa & my mats and BG layers were created with Simple Stories 24/7 6x6 collection... 8-)

For my next project, I paired the New Birch Tree Accessories Dies with the New Birch Tree Cutting Plate & the New Band It Dies too for a Sweet Winter Holiday card... 8-)
I Just Adore how this card turned out!! And it came together Super quick too with the help of these Fun Dies!! And I am really loving that I now have a few Christmas cards put together and tucked away in my stash too! Yay! ;-)
I created my Sweet Wintery scene with the Birch Tree Cutting Plate, Choice Snow White CS for the Blue sky shaded with Tumbled Glass & Stormy Skies Distress inks and also for my Pretty Birch Trees I added a touch of shading with Vintage Photo Distress ink and my W01 Copic Marker and popped it up with a bit of Foam tape for some fun dimension! I cut out my Sweet Cardinals from Red CS with the Birch Tree Accessories Dies and drew in their markings with my Copic multi-liner pen. And to finish it all up I stamped my From My Window Sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black onto my Band It die cuts and added a few sparkly snowflake confetti's I've had in my stash for forever! 8-) 

Well, that's going to do it for me today, but I know the Baker's Dozen have lots more Sweet Treats for you this morning, so hop on over and see...
