i have one more card to share this month using the june taylored expressions stamp of the month bright boutique & the coordinating craft die set hi, hey, hello. i paired a sentiment stamp from the set with the phone die to create this quick & simple card.
many of the die cut images i have used on my cards recently have had a bit of dimension to them - so this time i decided to go with just a single layer die cut. the center of the phone die is actually a heart which i used to link the phone & 'hello' sentiment. i die cut the phone 3 times - once from blue patterned paper & then twice from pink patterned paper & replaced the heart center with an enamel dot. and one more added detail was the phone cord - i used a tiny portion of an end of one of the banner stamps in the bright boutique set. i stamped it first before adhering the die cut phone.

today i am sharing my taylored expressions die focus assignment for this month. i used the branches, banner & bloom craft die set along with a sentiment stamp from the welcome home set.
my favroite die in this set is the banner which has score marks to fold along to give the die cut some dimension. searching through my stamp sets for the perfect sentiment i found that the 'congratulations' from the welcome home set is curved just enough to fit perfectly on the die cut banner.

today is the taylored expressions june stamp of the month blog hop. the stamp of the month for this month is called bright boutique which i paired with the june key ingredients kit.
to create the butterfly flying along with the banner i layered two stickers from my june key ingredients kit - then i stamped the banner which is one of the three banner stamps included in the stamp of the month set. to finish off my card i added a strip of patterned paper from the kit & included some stitching to mimic the stitching on the stamped banner.

taylored expressions june release day is today - all the new products we've been sharing sneaks of this week are now available in the te shop. the card i'm sharing today features the new rubber stamp set hippo birdy & a new craft die from pockets & pages insta squares - a set of 6 dies.
i die cut the frame from the two different patterned papers then pieced them together. the next layer is the little birdy & the cloud that is keeping him company. lastly, i cut the frame from an orange patterned paper a few times layered the hello sentiment so that it would pop out of the frame a bit.
and my last project for the june release uses a frame i found at my local craft store - it's actually a frame that comes with a little 3x3 canvas inside of it. i used a new pockets & pages - fab frames summer to frame the little scene. the palm trees are paper pieced using a stamp from the new big kahuna stamp set & the little sun i featured earlier this week & is from the little bits - sun & clouds craft die set.

today is the last day of the taylored expressions june sneak peeks - all the new rubber stamp sets & craft dies will be available for purchase in the te shop tomorrow at 7am pdt - & don't forget to visit the te blog for giveaway details.
my first project for today shows off the wash.dry.repeat rubber stamp set & its coordinating craft die set. lots of household icons appear in these sets - cooking & you know, fun stuff like cleaning.
to create my first card i used the banner stacklets 3 as the background for the little scene. i wanted to use some sort of paper or fabric for the 'carpet' that looked semi-realistic & all i could come up with was a strip of burlap. then i die cut/paper pieced the vacuum & added a small piece of cord i found in the jewelery aisle of my local craft store.
my second project for today features the rubber stamp set the little things & a sentiment from the new rubber stamp set notable blooms. a simple card with a bit of coloring & a few rhinestones.
i stamped the sentiment & flower image onto white cardstock & then did a bit of coloring with spectrum noir markers - nothing too fancy as i'm still learning how to color with markers properly. i trimmed down the white cardstock to fit onto the gray card base & added a few rhinestones to the flower centers.

today is the second day of taylored expressions june release sneak peeks & another chance to win the giveaway on the te blog. my first card today features a previously released stamp set bikes & trikes along with the new craft die set to coordinate - also called bikes & trikes. the june release will be available for purchase thursday at 7am pdt.
i used one of the new bikes & trikes dies to cut the moped image from pink patterned paper - then used the coordinating stamp from the bikes & trikes stamp set to create a paper pieced image. to finish it off i added enamel dots for the tires & a little wood veneer birdie.
my second card for today features the new stamp set you are here & the previously released set stars & stripes w/coordinating die. these two sets work together perfectly - the flag usa map image & coordinating die in the stars & stripes set is the same size as the outlined usa stamp image in the new you are here set.
to create my usa map i used distress markers to color the flag stamp, added a spritz of water & then stamped. after it was dry i added a bit of distress ink to the edges & then stamped over the image with the outline stamp in black. finally i die cut the stamped usa map alomg with a couple more cuts from red & blue cardstock & stacked them all up.

this week is the taylored expressions june sneak peek & release week. the release for this month is a bit larger than usual with lots of new rubber stamp sets & craft die sets - everything will be available for purchase on thursday, june 5th at 7am pdt. and be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post for details on a giveaway.
my first card for this week features the new sentiment stamp big bold summer along with two new craft die sets which are part of a new die collection called little bits. the little bits dies are perfectly sized for cards or project life spreads.
i used the large sentiment stamp as the focal point of my card then created a little scene with the little bits - umbrella & little bits - sun & clouds die sets. not only is this scene great for a card to send off to a friend after a summer adventure - but it would also make a great summer mini album cover or title page.
my second card for today was super quick & simple and again features a little bits die set - little bits - flowers & stems. the sentiment is also from a new set - the peeking in rubber stamp set.
the little flower was die cut from scraps of patterned paper i had in my scrap bin & i added an enamel dot for a bit of dimension. and that curved piece cut from kraft cardstock - it is a negative piece from a die cut that would normally be thrown out. i used a new pockets & pages craft die called pocket pages - 3x4 circle showcase - and the new little bits dies work perfectly with it.
