Taylored Expressions Previews: Day One!

** PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MY MFTEASER. THANKS! **

Hi everyone!  Happy Tuesday!

Today is the first day of previews for the latest release from Taylored Expressions!  I have two cards to share with you today so let's get started!

My first card today uses the awesome Dream Big set ( a set of 26 stamps!!)!!  I LOVE this set...perfect for all those upcoming Graduations or even for any note of encouragement!  This set =, like all of the sets from Taylored Expressions, is made from deeply etched rubber on EZ mount...all ready to put on a block and get stampy

The patterned paper is all from Little Boy by Echo Park Papers.  I stamped the focal circle panel in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and then cut it out with Circle Nestabilities.  I then cut more circles and layered them on, stamping the graduation hat on the last circle.

I added some texture to this last circle, and to the background, using the brand new Stars Impression Plate.  LOVE it!!  On the horizontal panel, I stamped the sentiment, "So proud of you" repeatedly for a fun graphic look.  Two blue brads in the top corner, as well as a border created with the Small Scallop Border Die, finish this one off.

Here are the Taylored Dies I used on this card:

For my second card today, I used the beautiful new Treasure Life set, along with the Apothecary Shelf a la carte stamp!

This was SO fun to create!  I stamped the shelf in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and colored it with Copic Markers.  I then stamped some of the images from Treasure Life on top of the shelf and colored them with Copic Markers as well.  There is also a matching set of Apothecary Taylored Dies.  LOVE.

The patterned paper is the Lily Bee Stationery Collection Pack and I added some lace trim for a more vintage feel.  I added graduating sizes of Kaisercraft Latte Pearls to the focal panel, as well as the main panel, and I also stitched all of the layers.  The sentiment, "Treasure Life" was stamped directly onto the focal panel.

Make sure to head on over and check out what the rest of the Baker's Dozen have whipped up today!
