Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks Continue!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Tuesday!!!

Welcome to the 2nd day of sneak peeks for the amazing new Taylored Expressions release!!! I have a loooooooong post today, so I hope you will settle in and join me for a bit!!

Today, the Baker's Dozen are sharing peeks of not one, not two, but THREE new sets (well...a bit more than that actually!!!). I am SO excited for the sets being peeked today! Let's get right to it!!

The sets being peeked today are Make The Grade, a coordinating mini set called Extra Credit (how cute is that!!) and THREE new a la carte stamps featuring my favorite...Cuppie! There is Report Card Cuppie, Desk Cuppie, and the one I get to share with you, Chalkboard Cuppie! These are all sold separately...how COOL is that???

ALL of the cardstock, patterned paper, bling and ribbons on all of my cards (and card box!) are from one of the three AMAZING Card Kits being released tomorrow!! I used the Apple Jack Card Kit and let me tell you, it is a MUST have!!! Each card kit is $14.95 each and includes 10 Choice Cardstock A2 card bases, 10 A2 envelopes, 15 sheets of patterned paper sized for cardmaking at 4" x 6" (3 sheets each of 5 double-sided patterns), 20 sheets of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cardstock (4 sheets each of 5 colors), 1 package of Kaisercraft Pearls, 8 panels of Choice Cardstock sized 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (for images and layering), 5 yards of ribbon (2.5 yards each of 2 different styles) and 1 Perfect Package Card Box!!!!

For my first card, and also for the front of my Perfect Package Card Box, I used the SUPER darling Chalkboard Cuppie. I stamped the scene in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored the entire image with Copic Markers. I cut the image out with Rectangle Nestabilities and sponged the edges with Memento Canteloupe & Memento Tangelo. The sentiment, "You're Appreciated" is from the awesome Extra Credit set, and I cut it out with one of the Ribbon Tags Trio by Spellbinders. I sponged this as well and I colored the pearls (they are teal) with a Green Copic Marker so it would go with the paper I used! SO fun!!! The only difference between this card and the front of the card box is that I added a super sweet apple from Extra Credit to the card box!!

For my second card, I stamped the image of the school house (how CUTE is that!!) from Make The Grade in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream & colored it with Copics. The sentiment, "You're An Awesome Teacher" is from Extra Credit and is cut out with Circle Nestabilities. Like the first card, these were both sponged as well.

For my last card, I stamped this ADORABLE globe image (I LOOOVE this image!!) from Make The Grade. I LOVE the sentiment that fits perfectly around the image, "for opening up the world to me"! LOVE that! I also stamped "Thanks", also from Make the Grade, directly onto the patterned paper.

I LOVE the bling and ribbons that come in this Card Kit...and there is SOOOO much! I made three each of each design and I still have TONS of cardstock, patterned paper, bling and ribbon left over! Score!!
