It’s time for perfect pairs from Taylored Expressions. Fantastic images and fun sentiments in sweet small sets that come with the die for easy creating! I had a lot of fun creating for this release!
My first card features Go with the Float. These adorable little critters were colored with OLO Marker for smooth blends and vibrant pops of color. They are are nestled onto a mini slim card that’s been blended with the Pool Party die to create waves!
Next up, I created a sympathy card using the new Meadow Cinquefoil stamp. The blooms are proportioned perfectly to cradle into the scalloped oval background with a simple sentiment and splatters. The focal image rests on a piece of Pineapple cardstock cut with the Pierced Lattice cutting plate. My blooms are colored with OLO marker for swift work of a card that’s often needed, greatly appreciated, and never easy to send.
A second sample with the Meadow Cinquefoil shows the flower image stamped with a simple Oreo outline and a diecut Thanks from the Thanks Script die and backer (cut from vellum). I omitted the bottom portion of the stem when stamping so I could nestle the blooms closer together. This classic look is easy to duplicate for a stamp session when you are looking to replenish your stash.
Here is a third sample with the Meadow Cinquefoil that uses the included Happy Birthday sentiment. This time, I’ve stamped a tone-on-tone background with the floral image, and embossed the stem with gold embossing powder on white. The flowers are color with OLO marker. A series of tone-on-tone layers cut from Cupcake cardstock create a great backdrop. One of the panels is cut with the pierced diagonals cutting plate for a little extra texture.
The final set I’m sampling today is the Meadow Grass stamp and sentiments. I’ve used the same tricks to build up cardstock layers for an extra richness that frames the gold embossed image, colored with OLO marker. The Pierced Circle cutting plate gives a soft swirl to the background.
I finished the Meadow Grass image with gold watercolor splatter and clear drip drops on the Sugar Cube oval dies.
Finally, I made a quick snowglobe shaped card with the Arched Stacklet dies, Snow Globe base dies, and the deer from Tiny Town. A trick I learned from my friend Kavya on the colored Meadow Grass sprig is to color on Sugar Cube cardstock, but color the white die cut edge to match your cardstock for a seamless look.
