Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek Day 1-Love Everywhere

It's time to show you new stuff from Taylored Expressions. Today the Baker's Dozen is sharing creations using Love Everywhere...a fun set full of bold, simple images that are perfect for quick stamping. We're also showcasing the Valentine Key Ingredients in our projects today. These new items will be available in the TE Store on Thursday, January 7th.

I made a card that's a little more involved to show you how simple, bold images can be jazzed up and taken to the next level, and I also created an easy chocolate treat that can be replicated for kids' Valentines, for friends, or even for a dinner party.

I'll start with the treat holder. It's sized to fit a scrumptious Ghirardelli chocolate. If you're gonna give just one of something, make it a good one, right?!?  First I wrapped the chocolate with one of the patterned papers from the Valentine Key Ingredients. Then I cut a 3" x 7.5" strip of Island Mist Dark, scored it at 2.75, 3, 6.25 and 6.5 and wrapped it around the chocolate. Then simply decorate it as desired. I inked the heart balloon with Memento Rhubarb Stalk and sage shadow, then added the sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa. I added the little white dots along the scallop border to coordinate with the white dots on the button on my card.

Here's a close up of the button on my card. Isn't it the coolest!!! And look at the brown frame around my image...the pattern is embossed and it's all shimmery AND it coordinates with the oval Nestabilities I used to cut out my image...SWEET!!!

The clay button and frame are new products that'll debut at Taylored Expressions with this release on Thursday, January 7th and the buttons are designed to coordinate with the Valentine Key Ingredients. I used Memento Rich Cocoa and Rhubarb Stalk inks on the tree image and I popped the larger heart leaves for interest. I couldn't resist adding a little sparkle with Stardust Stickles (part of the Valentine Key Ingredients).
