Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek - Day 1

Good morning! It's time for another round of fantastic new stamp sets from Taylored Expressions and TE continues to grow and get better and better! We are so excited about the addition of our newest line of rubber stamps - Apple Doodle Ink. We think you'll love the fun cartoon style of ADI. We have two stamp sets to launch this line: Window Shopping and Bakery Business. You're going to have so much fun building scenes with Tena in her bakery and we promise you'll get a ton of use out of those windows with more coordinating Apple Doodle Ink sets coming in the near future!

My first card features Tena and the new set, Bakery Business - this sentiment just cracks me up!  I think I've been telling myself "I'll go to the gym starting tomorrow" for the last 6 months! haha!   I stamped Tena in  Memento Rich Cocoa ink and then colored her with Copics and sponged the edges of the circle with Cameo Coral ink.  The little cupcake above the sentiment was so much fun to make!  I added some Liquid Applique for the frosting as well as a red rhinestone cherry - both of which are included in the Bakery Sampler this month.  The Bakery Sampler includes:

• Kraft Bakery Bags
• White Liquid Applique
• Baking Charms
• Apron Die Cut
• Adirondack Espresso Pearls
• Baking Chipboard
• Kitchen Twill
• Kaisercraft Red Rhinestones

You can find more information about this month's Bakery Sampler as well as the fun little story behind the making of Apple Doodle Ink on Taylor's blog.

 

My next card combines the window display from Window Shopping as well as images from Bakery Business - so much fun!!  I paper pieced the awning and popped it up with dimensional tape to give it a little 3D pop.  I can't wait to use these little window display images for invitations and birthday cards and you'll definitely want to swing by to see what the rest of the Baker's Dozen have displayed in their bakery as well!
