Taylored Expressions September Sneak Peeks – Wish Big!!

Wish Big, handmade card by Jen Shults

Hi everyone! It’s time for Taylored Expressions September Sneak Peeks and this month we have such a fantastic release to share with you! We have a TON of cute birthday goodies for you because it’s TE’s 8th Birthday!!! (Look below for some fun giveaway information!!)

Today I’m using a bunch of new birthday goodies. 🙂 First up is one of my favorites – Word Search – Birthday Background. I just love the idea of this stamp. It can be used as a plain text background stamp or you can get creative and find ways to highlight the words in the word search! I paired this fun background stamp. The sentiments are from the new Wish Big Stamp & Die Combo. These stamps are an incentive set this month!! Be sure to check out the details on the TE Blog.

To highlight the word search I stamped it tone on tone on Lemon Meringue cardstock with Lemon Meringue ink. I used a Versamarker to circle all the birthday words and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I LOVE how it turned out!

My second card features a brand new set of Watercolor Panels!!! I love TE’s watercolor panels. I keep a set in my coloring cart and whenever I get the urge to just color something I have something ready to go. This birthday set is so fun and will definitely be my go to for coloring now!

I started my card by coloring the watercolor panel with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a waterbrush. I paired this with a Lollipop cardstock panel embossed with the Bubbles Embossing folder and a little flower cut from TE’s 100% Wool Felt using Bloomers 2 and Mini Bloomers.

    This birthday sneak peek is awesome. That watercolor panel is so great! I could take those on vacation and make a bunch for my stash. The background stamp is really fun. I do love TE’s embossing folders. This won’t take any time to get to $50. Thanks for sharing.
