Taylored Expressions / For Him Release

It's time for the "For Him" Release from Taylored Expressions!
There is so much for those masculine (and non-masculine) cards in this release. 
I have a few projects to share!

***FOR HIM RELEASE from Taylored Expressions*** 

This first card uses the new Pocketful Die and First Draft.  Make sure to check below about the special for ordering the Pocketful Bundle!

The background was created using the Wonky Grid Background along with the newly released Wavy Stitch Stacklets.  Bleu Cheese ink was used for the background stamping.  The pen was inked up with the new Wood Slice Background in Oat Milk ink.  After adding in the die cut elements from First Draft, the pocket was added with foam adhesive.  The sentiment was white heat embossed and cut apart to fit on my pocket!

*****************************

My next card uses the Wonky Grid Background again for another masculine card.  Again, it was stamped tone on tone on Oat Milk Cardstock.  A Green Tea Cardstock frame was added and a few elements from Garden Variety Prairie were tucked into the corner.  Finished the card off with a white heat embossed sentiment from Sundry Sentiments.

*****************************

My third card uses the Triple Slim Stencil BoHo along with elements from the new set called Five O'Clock Somewhere.  I love that there are so many fun "spirits" you can add!  BUT that sentiment??  LOVE LOVE!  To tone down the stenciled background, a layer of stitched vellum was added to add my spirit elements.

*****************************

The Pocketful Bundle is $73 and includes:

Pocketful die

Plaid Background stamp

Tools of the Trade die set

First Draft die set

While supplies last, when you purchase the Pocketful Bundle, you'll receive Pocketful of Posies dies set FREE!

Avery Elle / Little Card Big Wishes

Hello!

It's graduation season and a new set called Little Card Big Wishes, from Avery Elle, is PERFECT for graduation cards!

I used the Random Dots Stencil and added dots twice using blue ink moving the stencil slightly the second time.  The center was masked off to allow for my sentiment placement.  I went with blue for our High School colors and kept it simple and masculine!  For just a bit of contrast, the supporting sentiment included in the Little Card Big Wishes set was stamped in black ink and the layered 'CONGRATS' was added with a blue backer layer.  While I didn't use the second layer but it is included in this die set!

Supplies:

Little Card Big Wishes

Little Card Big Wishes Elle-ments

Random Dots Stencil

Taylored Expressions!  It's time for the Alpha Bits Cardmaking Kit......it's going to be a hit for sure!  

Truly endless possibilities with this kit and this alphabet die font is AMAZING!

My first card uses the Alpha Bits Dies to create my own sentiment which was perfect timing to make a card for my daughter who graduates from high school in 2 weeks!

I used colors that she is using for her grad party including Pink Champagne, Jalapeno, Spearmint, and Peaches 'n Cream.  Balloons are from Gnome Alone Birthday and were die cut from these colors of cardstock.  The stars from Bold Border Background Blocks were stamped in Banana Cream Pie ink.  Added in a sentiment tag stamped from Big Cheers Cling and Clear Combo which was heat embossed with Gold Sparkle Embossing Powder.

******************************** 

My next card features one of the drop shadow stencils included in the kit......HELLO.  

I've paired this with the new Wavy Stitched Stacklets and the Petite Scalloped Recctangle Stacklets.  I embellished the HELLO with florals from Garden Variety 2.  Finished it with a sentiment from Mini Strips Sending embossed in gold embossing powder.

Tall Tales Alpha die

We welcome 4 new colors...Bleu Cheese, Oat Milk, Brussels Sprout, and Green Tea.

I have 2 projects to share with you with one focusing on cardstock and one on the new ink!

I've used the newer die set called Garden Variety 2 to die cut shades of the new colors and arranged to create a wreath.  I've added gold accents by using the Gold Bits and Pieces.  Everything was tied together by adding in a gold heat embossed sentiment from Mini Strips Sending.

*******************

My second project uses the Create-In-Quads Poster Prints Layering Stencil with the new colors of ink.  I didn't realize how I much I was missing some green colors in my Taylored Expressions color lineup!  I adore these new green shades! 

Each card was embellished with dies and bits and pieces from Taylored Expressions.  Each card features a gold foiled sentiment from Hello Lovely.
