Taylored Expressions January Release Now Available!

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve enjoyed the design team previews of Taylored Expressions‘ January release this week! You can find everything, now available, HERE. Before you head over to the TE store, I have two more samples to share.

My first card uses new Wish Big stamp and die combo. I stamped the balloons in Lemon Meringue, Strawberry Milkshake and Cookie Monster dye inks. “Happy” was stamped in Oreo hybrid ink then colored with Copic markers.

I wanted the balloon strings to extend long enough to place the “happy” die-cut over so I did a tricky little extension. Using the die-cut “happy” as a guide, I stamped the top/straight portion of the balloon strings beneath the balloons. Then I inked the bottom portion of the string and stamped, carefully aligning with the previously stamped strings, and leaving a gap to be covered with the “happy” die-cut. Noone will ever know there’s a break in the line beneath the popped up word. 🙂

“Birthday” was stamped in Sugar Cube pigment ink onto Oreo card stock then white embossed. Lastly, I sprinkled some Little Bits Confetti.

Next, I’ve used new Exercise Grumplings (and coordinating die) with my favorite sentiment from the set.  Haha!

I blended a bit of Sprinkles ink as a background then layered the Stitched Clouds with a Little Bits Sun and grass from Build a Scene Calendar 5×7.

That sentiment is so funny. It sounds exactly like something I would say. (Run, I do not.)

Stamping Bella January Release Preview – Garden Girl Lilac

Hi everyone! Today I am using another new Tiny Townie from Stamping Bella‘s upcoming January 16 release. Meet Garden Girl Lilac. She’s so, so sweet!

She was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers. Once colored, I added dots of Glossy Accents to each of the flower centers, like little drops of dew. 🙂  The sentiment is from new Garden Girl Sentiments. This one is my favorite.
