Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek | Day 2


Welcome back to Taylored Expressions release week peeks!  We've got lots to show you again today; here's what's on the menu:
  • It's a Banner Day 3
  • Banner Day 3 Taylored Die
  • Mom A la Carte stamp
  • Taylored Card Kits
It's a Banner Day 3 is the 3rd and final set in a series of fun little coordinating banners, sentiments and dies that is illustrated by the very talented Iwona Palamountain - you may know her as Chupa.  I love these banners and they coordinate with every TE set, so it's so easy to whip up a card with the banner and die template. 

When I saw the "my sweet friend" sentiment in It's a Banner Day 3, I instantly thought of those delicious treats in the set Sprinkled With Love.  I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copics and added some yummy Espresso Dimentional Pearls for that ooey gooey frosting.  The banner is stamped in Toffee Fluid Chalk Ink and cut out with the Banner Day 3 Taylored Die and then I stamped on the sentiment.

Another darling stamp that will be available tomorrow at 8 AM Pacific is the Mom A la Carte, illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line.

Isn't it the cutest?  It's perfect for every occasion you can think of for your mom.  Mother's Day is right around the corner, birthdays, thank-you's, and of course those cards you send to her just because you love her.  I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copics and then I stamped it again so I could cut out the tea cup and saucer and pop it up with dimensional tape. 

Both of my cards today were made using the Hello Lucious Card Kit, which includes:
  • 10 Choice Buttercream Cardstock A-2 card bases
  • 10  A-2 envelopes
  • 15 sheets of patterned paper sized for cardmaking at 4" x 6" (3 sheets each of 5 double-sided patterns from the Basic Grey Hello Luscious collection)
  • 20 sheets of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cardstock (4 sheets each of 5 colors)
  • 1 package of Kaisercraft Rhinestones
  • 8 panels of Choice Buttercream Cardstock size 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (for images and layering)
  • 5 yards of ribbon (2.5 yards each of 2 different styles)
  • 1 Perfect Package Card Box
There are plenty of materials to make 10 cards and package them up in a darling Perfect Package Card Box.  And as you can see, the cards can have completely different styles with different combinations of paper, gotta love that! 


The Baker's Dozen have much more for you today, so hop on over and see:
Thanks for stopping by!
