Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks Day 2

It's time to show off more new stamp sets today from Taylored Expressions!!! And you only have one more sleep til they're available for sale in the TE Store!!

The sets the Baker's Dozen is showcasing today are perfect for teacher appreciation gifts and cards. Some of the Baker's Dozen are also sharing the Apple Jack Card Kit which coordinates with the teacher sets, but I'm using papers from my October Afternoon Report Card 8x8 pad.

I know that I can always use another notepad around the house so I figured a teacher could too! I started with a plastic note cube from the dollar store and jazzed it up all teacher-ish. My design definitely has a masculine feel which I'm attributing to the fact that when I think back to my school years I realize that my most favourite teachers were men.

I used three of the new sets on this notepad project, Make the Grade, Extra Credit and Blackboard Cuppie (which is one of three a-la-carte Cuppie images). The images are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and coloured with copics but the chalkboard and Cuppie's liner are paper pieced.

I decorated the front of the cube too, but left the sides open so it's easier to get the papers out.

Then I made a fun card to go with the little gift. I love this globe and coordinating sentiment from Make the Grade!!! I used Mercy's Tuesday sketch, MTSC68 for the layout.

The globe and sentiment are separate stamps so I used my stamp positioner to line them up. The image is cut out with circle Nestabilities and layered onto red that I cut out with the Big Scallop Circle Nestabilities.

I know the rest of the Baker's Dozen will have more wonderful samples to share so let's not waste any more time...get hopping!!!
