Taylored Expressions August Sneak Peek - Day 2

**This is my second post today - please scroll down or Click Here for my MFT post**


Good morning!  The Baker's Dozen Design Team is hosting a pre-release peek of all the new Taylored Expressions sets and dies that will be available in the TE Store TOMORROW!  Taylor is throwing a special Preview Party over on the TE Facebook Page tonight at 6PM PDT - there are lots of prizes available, so you will definitely want to join in on all the fun!

Today, I'm giving you a special sneak of the Chevron Background Stamp and I paired it with Little Schoolhouse, which is the next Adorable Abode, illustrated by Doug Applegate.



Boy, am I ever ready for school to start up - only a couple weeks left of summer vacation!  For my card, I kept the layout pretty simple and wanted the Chevron Background to pop out a bit - I stamped it in Colorbox Olive Pastel Chalk Ink on Choice Snow White Cardstock, and the background stamps are all 5.5" square, so you can stamp an entire A2 size sheet of cardstock at one time.  I added the Chevron Borders Die in red cardstock over the School Daze 6x6 paper and then popped the school house over it.

Be sure to see what the rest of the Baker's Dozen have cooked up for you today:
Here is the new Taylored Die I used today:


You can find these fun items in the TE Store:








recipe - 
stamps: chevron background (te), little schoolhouse (te)
paper: black licorice (mft), wild cherry (mft), choice snow white (te), school daze 6x6 (my mind's eye)
ink: memento tuxedo black
accessories: copic markers, chevron borders die (te), circle spellbinders dies, sewing machine, thread, foam tape
