Hello! Today is Sneak Peek Day #3 for the May Taylored Expressions release! All of these sets will be available for purchase on Thursday morning at 8am PST. You can get the full stamp set reveal on the TE facebook page Wednesday night: https://www.facebook.com/#!/tayloredexpressions. I hope you have been having fun here with me on this new Design Team adventure! Thanks for tuning in!
Today's release features the stamp sets "It's in the Bag" and "Moka Jenn." My third post for the week has two projects, using both of these cute sets as well as some neat dies. Are you enjoying seeing me make some baby cards? Something I haven't done a lot of here on the bloggy blog! All my friends are in between having kids and having grand kids...so I don't make many baby cards right now.
Here is my first project - a baby shower card. I thought I would use some different colors - for that modern mom. Nothing says that you have to use pastels...right? I love the pop of red with the baby blue. This card could be for a shower for a girl or a boy. This is the SUPER cute Moka Jenn stamp! I'll be using her for tomorrow's card too...in a totally different way.
She is colored with my Copic Markers and the paper is from the Jillibean Soup Blossom Collection. I used my Nestabilities for the circles and popped the sentiments up with some foam tape.
Here is my second project for today...and this time I used the traditional pastel colors to make some baby shower place cards with ADORABLE gift bags attached! These are SOOOO fun to make! EEEEK! I can think of a billion things to do with these shopping bags! The stamp set is called "It's in the Bag" and there is a matching die to cut out the bags and tags. Trust me, you'll love this one. It's not specifically baby related either - very versatile! Can't wait for you to see the whole set tomorrow.
I used the Heart Frame a la Carte stamp with the Frame it Up 2 matching die to make the outer portion of the front. The frame/die perfectly fits a 2x3 photo if you want to use it for pictures. You know I had to get out some glitter and pearls! Jazz it up a bit! I cut some vellum and folded it to look like tissue paper!
"It's in the Bag" stamp set was concepted and illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line. It is a full-sized stamp set on a 5.75" x 8.5" full color sturdy storage panel and has 27 images (yay!). The Brand new MOKA Petite Collection was also illustrated by Nancy McKinney - these darling little girls will steal your heart. The first two in the collection are: Moka Jenn and Moka Olivia and each has 5 images. Both of these sets come on a 3" x 5.5" full color sturdy storage panel, and they both coordinate perfectly with It's in the Bag. There will be more of these to come! Can't wait!
