Taylored Expressions Previews: Day One!

**This is my second post of the day...please scroll down a smidge for my MFTeaser! Thanks **

Hi everyone!! Happy Monday!! Today is the first day of previews for the latest Taylored Expressions release!

There is ALOT of the menu today, so let's get to it! The sets that are being previewed today by the Baker's Dozen are:

It's a Banner Day 2 Mini Stamp Set plus coordinating Taylored Die Banner Day 2
Spring Wreath Petite Stamp Set
Spring A la Carte Stamp

I've used the Spring Wreath Petite set for my first card. This set is the third in the seasonal wreath series and was concepted by Jami Sibley and designed by Nancy Mckinney for the Whimsical Wishes line @ Taylored Expressions. What I LOVE about these seasonal wreaths (we've already released the Wreath of Love and Wreath of Luck) is that they ALL fit in the Seasonal Wreath Taylored Die!! I've heard from a reliable source (grin!) that there are more to come in this line!

I started by stamping the wreath in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White and colored it with Copic Markers. I cut it out using the Seasonal Wreath Taylored Die. The layout is Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, SSSC106. ALL of the cardstock, patterned paper (Hippity Hoppity from We R Memory Keepers), ribbon and brads are from the Spring Project Pantry, also being released on Thursday!! I added texture to the circle panel behind the wreath with the Scallops & Circles Impression Plate.

Here are the Taylored Dies & Impression Plate I've used on this card:

My second card today features the fabulous new It's A Banner Day 2. This set is the second in a series concepted by Iwona Palamountain and it was designed by Taylor as part of the TE Collection at Taylored Expressions. There is a coordinating Taylored Die, It's A Banner Day Die 2, that perfectly matches this set...SO fun! Mini Stamp Sets come on a 4.75" square full color sturdy storage panel and this set has a total of nine stamps, 3 different banners and 6 sentiments that cover just about any occassion.

Like all Taylored Expressions stamps, this set is made of deeply etched rubber on EZ Mount - already trimmed and ready to use (except for the sets in The Giving Tree Program...those need to be trimmed).

I've paired this fun new set with a previously released set, Favorite Peeps, to create this springtime card!! I colored the image with Copic Markers and added a border created with the Medium Scallop Border Die. Once again, all of the cardstock, patterned paper and ribbon are from the Spring Project Pantry.

Here are the Taylored Dies I've used on my card today:
