Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek Day 1

It's an exciting day over at Taylored Expressions - Why, you ask?  Well, we are launching a brand spanking new product!  If you visited the TE booth at CHA last week, then you were most likely introduced to Taylored Dies - TE's new line of die-cut templates that coordinate perfectly with a new set, Take Note as well as a past release set, Garden Party Blooms.  These dies as well as the new release sets will be available on Friday, August 6th.

Taylor challenged the team to make a notebook or journal for one of our projects this morning and I chose to make a fun little sketch book to keep track of my favorite Sweet Sundays - I picked up a dollar photo album and replaced the front and back cover images with some sweet Treehouse Collection papers with a label made from the new set Take Note as well as the coordinating Take Note Frame 2 die cut template.   Please stop by Taylor's blog to see how the die cuts work with the cling mount rubber stamps.  For the title panel, I used the coordinating frame from the set, Take Note.  This new set includes 3 frames along with different words so you can make up different journals for exercising, spirituality, travel, food, and more - plus you can create cute little books for grocery and 'to do' lists as well. 

I also made a card using Take Note Frame 1 as a background scallop and layered the stem and flower from the Garden Party Set 2 dies (a set of 3).  I started with Mercy's MTSC85 along with the Summertime Project Pantry Kit.  I just can't resist those cheery papers! I stamped the flower stem on patterned paper with Olive Pastel ColorBox fluid chalk ink and the bloom in Tangerine - then ran them through the Big Shot with the dies. You can use the Cuttlebug as well.  These dies are really amazing - they cut with clean lines and look as if you just peeled them right off of a cardstock sticker sheet.  I added the sentiment along the side in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and added a few of my favorite Yellow Pearls along the bottom.
