Let the Taylored Expressions Peeks Begin!!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Wednesday! Welcome to day 1 of the Taylored Expressions sneak peeks!! I am BEYOND excited to show you some peeks of the OUT OF THIS WORLD sets that are being released on Friday, June 5!! Oh my word!! I cannot WAIT!!!

OK...let me not torture you further!! Here is a card I made with a SUPER sweet new set called Beary Special!! I am THRILLED to finally have a FABULOUS teddy bear set in my stamp collection! This set is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!! This set is SOOOO super versatile! There are SOOOO many images and you can really use them for ANY occassion!!

Not only are these stamps UBER cute, but even better, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to a very worthy charity - Sick Kids as part of the TE Giving Tree charitable program. In order to save costs on manufacturing and be able to donate even more to charity, these sets will need to be trimmed from the sheet of rubber.

The Hospital for Sick Children (Sick Kids) is a health-care community dedicated to improving the health of children. Their mission is to provide the best in family-centered, compassionate care, to lead in scientific and clinical advancement, and to prepare the next generation of leaders in child health. The hospital is located in Canada, but is known around the world for its innovation and leadership in research. This charity is very special to designer Nancy McKinney who family was helped directly by them. Please go to Nancy’s blog today for the story of her son Henri. Nancy is the UBER talented gal that just re-designed my blog for me!!!

For my card, I stamped this delightful image twice onto Choice Snow White Cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black. I colored the image with my Copic Markers and my pink teddy bear (just like the one I had when I was little...and still have!) was cut out and popped up on dimensionals.

The papers, cardstock and ribbon on my card are from the Limited Edition Delighted Key Ingredients by Taylored Expressons, and I paper pieced the pocked of the backpack with the same plaid I used on the card. I framed my image in Circle and Scallop Circle Nestabilities, and added a bit of piercing!

I finished off my card by framing my sentiment in the Large Oval Punch framed in the Scallop Oval Punch and added three Chestnut Brads by American Crafts to the bottom of my card!!!

I LOVE this set SOOOO much, I just had to make another card using it!!

For my second card, I stamped this UBER sweet Teddy Bear onto Choice Snow White Cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored him with Copic Markers! I added some White Gel Pen Highlights to accent him just a touch!!

My teddy is framed in Circle and Scallop Circle Nestabilities and all the papers on this card are from Washington Apple DSP!

The balloon and sentiment that I used here are from the Beary Special Accessories! I LOVE how versatile these sets are!!!

My balloon has two coats of Candelight Shimmerz on it and I finished off my card with a combo of Riding Hood Red Striped Ribbon and So Saffron Grosgrain Ribbon!!!
