Just the Basics
Hi everyone! It’s time for a new Taylored Expressions release and this week we have a FUN release to share with you some staple goodies you will NEED in your stash.
First up is Big Hello and Big Thanks – these have been around for a little bit in the TE inventory BUT this week we have DIES to go with them AND some gorgeous Deco Foil Adhesive Transfers that coordinate with the stamp set and the dies. In my examples I paired up the adhesive transfers with the new die set. I used my new favorite Emerald Watercolor Deco Foil as it has a wonderful color shift on the transfer and the transfers are SO EASY to use – no heat needed.
For the background of my cards I ink blended blues and greens on watercolor paper, splashed with rubbing alcohol and used the new Additional A2 Layer Stacklets for the perfect trim around the edge.
The small sentiment add-ons I used are from Mini Strips Hello Add-ons which are such a perfect little set of add-on sentiments.

My second set of cards today features more of the new Basics from Taylored Expressions and some old favorites. I used the new Frames Script Thanks die and my gel printing kit to make a couple of quick backgrounds.
I started by die cutting three of the Frames Script Thanks dies from Sugar Cube and three from Oreo cardstock and stacking them together for dimension. I stamped Mini Strips Thanks Add Ons on Sugar Cube with Versafine Clair ink in black. I inked my gel printing plate with a variety of TE inks, for the lighter card I used Toffee, Mushroom and whatever ink was left on the plate, lol. For the orange card I used Candy Corn, Pumpkin, and Lollipop ink. The backgrounds were made by making multiple layers of prints from the gel plate. One solid, one with the stencil and one after the stencil had already been lifted. To finish up the cards I used a bit of twine and I was done.
