Taylored Expressions Release Day!!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Wednesday and happy Taylored Expressions release day!!!

I have two projects to share with you today, one, a card, the other, a fun little addition to my desk!!

For my card, I stamped this DARLING pie from the Berries & Cherries set in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream, and colored it with Copic Markers. I also stamped the strawberry blossoms all over my background, colored them with Copics, and sponged the edges to make my very own, berry inspired, patterned paper!!!

I pierced just about every inch of this card (you know it makes me happy!!), and added some DELISH ribbon from the Berries & Cherries Key Ingredients!!! The sentiment, "thank you berry much" was colored in with SU! markers and punched with the Word Window Punch.

I used Prism cardstock on this, also from the Berries & Cherries Key Ingredients, in Suede Brown Dark and Rose Medium!!


For my next project, I decided to embellish one of my favorite products from Taylored Expressions, the Perfect Package Card Box!!! While this box was designed to house A2 cards, it can be used for SO many other purposes...which is what I have done here!!

I am on a perpetual diet (giggle!!)...and currently I am doing Weight Watchers!! I decorated this box to keep at my desk at work to serve a dual purpose...first off, the sentiment "chillax, chickie!" is to remind me to CHILL even though I may be stressed...and if I am stressing (which is more often than not!), than to reach inside for a DELISH drink mixer (0 calories!) instead of heading down to the cafe for a candy bar!!!


As you can see, my Perfect Package is CHOCK full of these drink mixes...and the colors match my patterned paper too!!!

For my box, I stamped the blender from Chillax in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White and colored it with Copic Markers. I added Glossy Accents to the "glass" portion of my blender, and added some shimmer to the "metallic" portions with a Sakura Gelly Roll pen!!!

The patterned paper is from the Girl Friday collection from Cosmo Cricket (it makes me so happy!!) and the ribbons are from SU!!! Of course, I added paper piercing all over!!
