Taylored Expressions November 2012 Sneak Peeks, Day 2!

It's day two of November sneaks! Tomorrow you will be able to see EVERYTHING! But today, I have some more peeks for you!  Are you ready!?

• Today I'm featuring TWO new stamp sets! The first one is called 'Spectacular'  it's from the Whimsical Wishes stamp line by Nancy McKinney. This one is truly spectacular! It's cute glasses and sayings! EEP! So fun. Perfect for funny and light cards.  
• The second set for today is called 'Signature Style' and this one was my idea! YAY! I have been wanting a Taylored Expressions set for the back of my TE creations. Well, this one is a sampler of all the different designers. There is a signature stamp for any mood or creation. I'm very excited about this one! I hope you will love it too.
• 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.

 

Here is my card using the 'Spectacular' set! I kept it very graphic and clean and simple. I chose a bright fun color to match the mood. I found the perfect matching Doodlebug twine... You know me, sometimes I like lots of white space and a POP of an image!

 

 

 

 

My very first pair of eyeglasses were baby blue cat eye numbers with blue rhinestones! This is what made me have this idea! It was the sixties after all...

 

 

 

I used one of my Circle Nestabilities to cut out a piece of my white paper, then mounted that piece on some foam tape. This would be a nice layout to use to make a whole set of notecards.

 

 

 

Here's one of the Signature Style images! Isn't he cute!?

 

 

 

I was trying to think of something to make using all the 'Signature Style' images....so I came up with this! It's a gift bag full of pre-made signatures for the back of cards. It's the perfect gift for a stamping pal. I used the gorgeous new Stacklets Dies to make the topper!

 

 

 

Here's a close up of the top....

 

 

 

Here are my individual signature pieces...see...truly something for every kind of card!

 

 

 

On the back I put a strip of double sided tape so that my friend can just pop them on the back of her cards. Voila! Ready to go.

 

 

 

I used my scoring board to score the Stacklets Die pieces in half for the top of my gift bag...
