Taylored Expressions November 2012 Sneak Peeks, Day 1!

 

Yep, It's that FUN time again! Time for November's Sneak Peeks for Taylored Expressions! WOOOOHOOOOO! Get ready for lots of inspiration this week!  

Joining us this week is the winner of our Last Card Standing contest...the talented Kerri Michaud! She won a spot on the Baker's Dozen and I just know her work will wow you! Welcome Kerri! So glad to have you stamp with us in November and December!

• Today I'm featuring the GORGEOUS new stamp set from the Lasting Impressions collection called In the Word - When Mark Your Spot and the Bookmark die were released, Jami  immediately thought a set of Bible verses would be perfect to go with them, and I agree! This set will allow you to create beautiful bookmarks, as well as cards, tags, framed art, and more! I like this stamp set because it can be used for encouragement cards. Sometimes you just want to send a nice thought to someone to uplift them. 
• We have inspiration to share Tuesday through Friday.  All of the new products will be available for purchase on Thursday, November 8th at 8 am PST. You'll find it all in the Fresh out of the Oven Department at the Taylored Expressions Store.
• Readers can join us as a fan on Facebook for an early peek at the stamp sets, as well as a SPECIAL Facebook GIVEAWAY, on Wednesday night beginning at approximately 6 pm PST. That really is a ton of fun, if you've never joined us, you should!

 

Here is my card for today. I used all the pretty background stamps to make sort of a collage effect for my card, then framed out the sentiment using the brand new Stacklets Dies. I am over the moon thrilled that Taylor started doing frame dies!! I know I will use these all the time.

 

 

 

Here's a close up of my layers....All the inks are Tim Holtz Distress Inks that are available in the TE Store!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is my card in progress...Yes, I'm a messy stamper! You can see my color swatches of inks - from when I was trying to figure out what colors best matched my patterned paper. The paper I used for this card are from the Authentique 'Thankful' collection. So pretty.

 

 

 

Here is what my base layer looks like. I have fun putting different colors and shapes down on my cream base. I think I like the soft words the best...or maybe those big swirls...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a sneak peek at another new set...that I designed! It's called Signature Style! Yipppeeeee! I will show you all about it tomorrow!
