Hi bloggy friends! It's that exciting time again! Time for a new release from Taylored Expressions! TE is celebrating our FIFTH birthday and we have fun and games for you all week. Lots of opportunities to play with us and win prizes! We have some classic party games you play with a stamping twist. All the new products will be available on Thursday at 8am, but we have previews and projects to share ALL WEEK! So happy you're here to help us celebrate.
For my first card to share today (birthday cards today!) I used a new Birthday Treat Toppers Die, and made it into a card! You're going to love this die set! I also chose a cheery color scheme of red and aqua - can never go wrong with that! I layered my die with different papers and then layered the whole cupcake onto another new die- Bloomin' Stacklets!
The Many Minis stamps are the perfect size for my sentiment... And I couldn't resist adding some swirls...and gems...
Here is a side view of my layers!
For my next card - I'm using the Tic Tac Toe board for our party game for today! This is SUPER FUN and you can play along! CLICK HERE FOR THE DETAILS ON HOW TO ENTER! I'll show you my card and then explain more...
My card uses the amazing new Cutting Plate = Birthday Banner Cutting Plate! It has rows and rows of banners and then an opening for your sentiment! The Big Bold Birthday stamps fit in there to perfection!
So, here's how our game for today works! You just make a tic tac toe row to make a card! This is so clever! For example, on my card, I made a birthday card, and used ribbon and rhinestones! I hope you will join us for this fun challenge!
Everything is better with butterflies on it right? I made an embellishment with some ribbon and rhinestones to place as the focal point of my card. I selected some pretty papers from the Hipster Paper collection from Basic Grey.
HERE ARE YOUR LINKS FOR TODAY! HAVE FUN AND HAPPY RELEASE WEEK!

Wanda, Love love love both of your cards! But I always love all of your cards. Never thought to use turquoise and red together but it sure does work wonderfully. So many textures on both cards. Such a big blog hop and am sure each will have something new I just will have to have! Happy fall!
