Taylored Expressions Release Party!

Happy Friday! I'm so excited to show you the next two sets in this month's release AND they are available for purchase today!! First up is Faith & Hope, a collection of inspirational sayings and Bible verses along with flourishes. The quote I used today is "Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons do not last. The spring rain will come again" - Sarah Ban Breathnach. Isn't that lovely? I wanted to have my image coordinate with the sentiment, so I grabbed my favorite branch from Branching Out and the little flower and pear from Branching Out Coordinates. I stamped the image in Memento Rich Cocoa and colored everything in with Copics. The flowers are cut out and attached with dimensionals and to add a little sparkle, I added some Taylor's Tiny Twinkles to the centers.

Next up is Beach Bum and it's coordinating Beach Bum Key Ingredients - this set is absolutely adorable. I see lots of birthday cards for little boys with this set! I love that our sweet little Cuppie has learned how to surf, haha! For this card, I did some paper-piecing. I stamped the cute little sand castle image in Memento Rich Cocoa on a sheet of the Cosmo Cricket Snorkel collection that comes with the Key Ingredients - I thought this paper looked so much like sand, I just had to use it! See that cute little cherry on top of Cuppie's head? It's a red Bits of Bling from the Key Ingredients too! If you are loving this set, you will love the Beach Bum Bundle - you will get the Beach Bum Key Ingredients, Beach Bum Stamp Set, an assortment of summer brads, and Sparkly Fluff in brown sugar & a FREE package of Choice Buttercream cardstock - all in one package! Everything is coordinated for you - the paper and brads are so cute with this set.

Also, this month Taylored Expressions is offering a Stamp Lover's Bundle - with this you will get all FIVE sets AND a free Binder Box to store them in. It's an amazing offer and I really love the Binder Boxes - They are so compact and store all my TE sets in one convenient spot.

Time to go on over to see all the fantastic creations the Baker's Dozen has cooked up for you today! More information about today's release is on Taylors blog too, so don't forget to stop by and get all the fun details!
