Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks Day 1

I can't believe it's already time for new stamps from Taylored Expressions!!! Wahooooo!!! The Baker's Dozen has three days of sneak peeks then the stamps will be available at Taylored Expressions on release day, Thursday, April 8th.

Today we're featuring two fabulous new sets that coordinate beautifully together, CreativiTEA and Miniature Motifs. You can probably guess that CreativiTEA is all about tea and Miniature Motifs is a set of four patterned blocks that can be used as backgrounds. I've used both sets on each of the three cards I have to show you today.

But before I get to the cards, Taylored Expressions is offering three card kits with this release and you'll see a new kit on each sneak peek day, featured on a few of the Baker's Dozen blogs. Today I get to share the Paper Girl Card Kit that coordinates with CreativiTEA. The card kit is packed with supplies to create 10 standard size cards, including patterned papers, solid cardstock, Choice cardstock for card bases and images, envelopes, ribbons and pearls, and a Perfect Package Card Box to hold all your creations!

Here's the first card I created (all supplies are included in the Paper Girl Card Kit). I used MTSC67 for the layout.

The flower is popped on foam tape for dimension and the image is coloured with copics.

Here's a close up of the background image from Miniature Motifs, stamped with Memento Angel Pink.

I couldn't resist pairing yellow and blue on this next card for a french provincial look. I love how the frame image coordinates with the Labels Nine Nestabilities. The layout is TESC107.

I used another of the patterned blocks from Miniature Motifs to paper piece the tea pot.

And I also used the same patterned block to create the flowers using the smallest size of my Blossom Nestabilities and a circle punch.

This last card started out using SSS50 but I ended up placing the ribbon vertically instead of horizontally.

The flower is popped for dimension again and I added a touch of sparkle to the center with dots of black Spica Glitter Pen.

I used another image from Miniature Motifs stamped with Memento Summer Sky to add a subtle detail along the left side of the blue panel.

And finally, here's the Perfect Package Card Box all decorated and ready to fill.

The Paper Girl Card Kit was super fun to work with and made creating these cards a snap with all the coordinating products. When you purchase one of the card kits you'll also receive a downloadable inspiration sheet to get your creative juices flowing. Please visit Taylor's Blog for a video featuring the card kit.

Now it's time for more eye candy using CreativiTEA and Miniature Motifs.
