Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks Begin!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Tuesday! Welcome to day #1 of sneak peeks for an AWESOME new release from Taylored Expressions!!!!

You are going to L-O-V-E this new release!!!

There are FOUR, yes...4 new sets, one mini sets, a la carte stamps and THREE new Card Kits!!! The next few days are going to be so much fun!!

Today, the Baker's Dozen get to peek not one, but two amazing new sets!!! On my first project, my card, I used both of these new sets!! Creativi-Tea and Miniature Motifs!!!

I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC63 for my layout (what a fun sketch!!!), and I started by stamping the AMAZING frame (it is a PERFECT fit for Labels 9 Nestabilities!!!!) in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and cut it out with Labels 9 Nestabilities. I sponged the edges with Memento Canteloupe & Memento Tangelo. I then stamped this darling little teapot from Creativi-Tea in Memento Tuxedo Black in the center of my frame. The flower and leaves image was stamped, colored with Copic Markers, glittered, cut out and then attached to the side of the frame. I LOVE the look of that!!

The sentiment, "Oh my darjeeling" is also from Creativi-Tea, and it just totally cracks me up!! I cut that out with Circle Nestabilities and sponged that as well. The striped paper is from the Green at Heart collection by Basic Grey, and, now this is the really fun part, I took some Always Artichoke cardstock and stamped this FABULOUS background pattern from Miniature Motifs in Whisper White Craft. I stamped a separate panel as well and then stamped the same teapot, cut it out and paper pieced the teapot with Miniature Motifs! FUN!!!

I have been LONGING for a fabulous background set, and if you are like me, then you need to look no further than Miniature Motifs! There are four GORGEOUS different backgrounds in this set! Can't wait for you to see them all!! I finished off my card with some pearls and delish vanilla ruffled ribbon!!



I just HAD to make a little gift to go along with my card!!! I decided to decorate this darling Tea Tin, which will also be available from Taylored Expressions to match my card!!!

I started by stamping this BEAUTIFUL frame in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored the entire image with Copic Markers. I added some glitter to the flowers on this one too...love how it looks!!!


Once again, I stamped the sentiment, "Oh my Darjeeling" (I seriously LOVE this sentiment!!) right in the frame and added some pearls underneath the sentiment to make it stand out a bit! I cut out the entire image and adhered it to the top of the tea tin with Foam Tape.



To decorate the bottom portion of my tin, I used the same pattern of Green At Heart by Basic Grey (these stripes just scream tea party to me!!) and added some layers of Always Artichoke and a border of Upper Crust in Choice Buttercream.


I attached the entire band with some Sticky Tape and added some more Vanilla Ruffled Ribbon. I created a bow of the same ribbon which I attached along with a Basic Grey Button along with another sentiment, this time "creativi-TEA", which I cut out using the medium tag from Tags Trio by Spellbinders! I thought this would be a sweet gift for a crafty friend and I could fill it up with some ribbons and embellies...you know, to inspire some Creativi-TEA!!!
