Hi! How is your week going so far? Welcome back to Day 2 of Sneak Peeks for Taylored Expressions' February Release! Glad you joined the party! Today I am featuring more great new stuff from TE. I used the same set of products to make two birthday cards to share with you on this fine day. I am IN LOVE with this new paper pack from Pebbles, called Seen and Noted, so I used it for both cards.
I'm featuring the new stamp set called Milestone Markers, along with an AWESOME new alphabet and numbers dies set called Whimsy. These dies are going to be favorites of mine, I can already tell. The stamp set is perfect for milestone occasions....you'll see!
First up is a HAPPY birthday card...literally! I used the Whimsy Alpha dies to spell out the word "happy" and then used the Milestone Markers stamp for the "birthday." I used the fab Banners dies to make fun flags for the top of my card.
How fabulous is this alphabet??? And this paper???
Here you can see my layers, and my pretty flags! They're easy to make, using pins from the sewing section of the craft store, and some tape!
This really does make me happy!
For my second card, I used the Milestone Markers stamp set along with the Whimsy #'s dies. Seems like everyone I know is turning 50! (Luckily I am still two years away...whew...) The stamp set is great for anniversaries or birthdays. LOVE the font, too. I made my little banners by cutting half circles with my Nesties and then putting them on some Doodle Twine.
I thought maybe this card needed a cute little ice cream cone accent! See the cool "th" stamp? LOVE that for using numbers on cards! Perfect idea for a stamp!
Here's a close up of my circle banners!
And here's a shot of my layers...
Just a reminder that everything new is going to be available TOMORROW!! Yippeeeee!! Come back on Thursday and Friday for more projects and to see the rest of the new stuff on the Baker's Dozen blogs.

Such bright happy happy cards! I can't view some of your photos - some have a red x, but what I can see is fabulous! I especially love everything going on on that card with the banner and the ice cream and how it works with the background paper!
