Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek Day 1

I can't believe it is time for the next Taylored Expressions sneak peek week!  Today we're showcasing Garden Party Blooms and Garden Party Critters - each of these were designed by the marvelous, Taylor!!  All of these sets and kits will be available for purchase on Friday, May 7th.  We are all excited to show off Taylor's new sets, so I'll get to it.

My first card features Garden Party Blooms (well, the little caterpillar is from Garden Party Critters).  I used Mercy's sketch MTSC72.  This set is full of whimsical images that you can mix and match with Garden Party Critters - there are a million possibilities!  I love all the flowers and stems - they layer perfectly and add so much depth.  Did you happen to notice that cloudy background?  It's a 5.75" square background stamp - also designed by Taylor - and is SO much fun to use.  Taylor is also introducing the Project Pantry, which is a coordinating kit of cardstock, papers, embellishments and little extras to keep you inspired.  This month's Garden Party Project Pantry kit includes all of the following for only $22.95:

• 12 sheets of 8.5” x 11” cardstock
• 20 sheets of 6x6 patterned paper (from We R Memory Keepers 72 & Sunny collection)
• 5 yards of ribbon (1 yard each of 5 different styles)
• Jar of Glitter
• Sheet of Cardstock Stickers
• Charm Assortment (ladybug, butterfly, bee, flowers)

OR - if you would like to grab both the Garden Party stamp sets AND the kit - it's only $59.95.  I grab these coordinating kits whenever I need some inspiration - everything matches and the paper is amazing - not to mention all of the wonderful ribbon that is always included.  Cards and projects are a snap to make when everything is already packaged so nicely for you.

My second card uses SC278 and I went straight for the Garden Party Project Pantry kit again - I just can't help myself; this paper is YUMMY!!!  The images are from Garden Party Critters - isn't this little bee hive just the cutest?!  The bee and the sentiment are separate stamps, so you can place them wherever you'd like on your project.

Hop on over to Taylor's blog for all the information on this month's Project Pantry kit and give her a little shout out for her big jump to our lastes illustrator!
