Taylored Expressions November 2013 Sneak Peeks - Chalkboard Elements and Discover Your Wings!

 

 

Happy to have you back here to join in on our last day of sneak peeks before the official Taylored Expressions product release tomorrow! MORE projects and MORE fun! Every new product will be available tomorrow morning to shop to your heart's desire. Today I have two projects to share with you using some more new items. 

First up is a happy chalkboard card! Taylor has come up with a follow up stamp set to the very popular "Chalkboard Elements" set. And, it's called "Chalkboard Elements 2!" They work perfectly together! I really like this technique - never gets old. 

 

 

 

My background piece was made using the cool Chevron Cutting Plate in white, with red cardstock underneath to make it pop. I made my tag out of pretty black paper using the Tag Stacklets dies. The patterned paper is a fav collection from Simple Stories. 

 

 

 

I wanted my 'thinking of you' words to hang over the edge of my tag, so I cut that little banner out separately and mounted it on later. 

 

 

 

I couldn't really help myself with this one....I just kept adding things! I like how this card came out. Lots of things that are trendy right now; arrows, chalkboard, chevrons...you name it! 

 

 

And, you guys know me...I have to add a butterfly to everything! LOL. 

 

 

 

And, speaking of butterflies....Here's another one! This stamp set is called "Discover your Wings" and it has matching dies that are gorgeous! I used the Basic Grey Hipster paper pack as my color inspiration and I love the way this all went together. Pretty coral and blue and straw colors....

 

 

 

Isn't that large floral image soooooo pretty!? I stamped it first on cream paper, and then cut out my label stacklets after. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I almost always stamp something on the inside of my cards - but I don't remember to photograph that! I try to match the inside to the front.... Heck, all the supplies are out on my desk right then! I like to use scraps of paper and maybe a different image from the stamp set, as I did here. Just makes it look polished I think.

Love your signature colors on the chalkboard card. Did you use a turquoise ink on the sentiment?

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
