TE Color Expansion!

Hi!! Happy Tuesday. I hope you are having a great day. It’s been BUSY around my neck of the woods with LOTS of graduation festivities going on.

Taylored Expressions has a new release today of some much-awaited new ink and cardstock colors! Of course, there are buy it all and I want it all bundles (see below for details!!) and trust me you are going to want it all!

I have two projects to share with you – one featuring ink and one featuring new cardstock. First up is new ink. I made a bit of a two for one with these. I started by stamping and inking the Flower Patch Background with the Flower Patch Layering Stencil. I decided on mini slim cards and ended up with enough background left over to make two! Did you know the largest Mini Slim Rectangle Stacklet just fits inside all of TE’s background stamps and there is usually enough left over to use on a second card.

To ink my card I used Avocado, Banana Cream, Macaron, and Passion Fruit inks. With the introduction of new inks, TE also has some fantastic new swatching and color planning products that will be a great addition to your TE collection. The True Colors Inkspiration cards and Swatch Out and True Colors stamps allow you to make not just swatches but color combo cards to keep on hand for reference! This is great because if you are like me once you make a card you forget what colors you used immediately and when you try to recreate a look you have to guess, well not now!

My second project focuses on cardstock. I LOVE the Easy Strips dies from Taylored Expressions and it was no big jump know that was where I was going to go with this card, lol. I have had the Rainbows All Around background on my craft desk for a while and have really been wanting to use it and this was a perfect time. I stamped it on Sugar Cube with Versamark and embossed it with white embossing powder to give a tone-on-tone texture that would let the cardstock shine. Then I cut Pumpkin, Dried Fig, Tropical Punch, Pineapple, Guava and Passion Fruit with the 1/4″ Easy Strips die. I love the vintage look of this color palette and decided to arrange them a little out of order of rainbow (sorry ROYGBIV friends!). I stamped and embossed Oh My Word Thank You on Sugar Cube with black embossing powder, die cut and added a few white Tiny Diamonds to finish up. I was able to make 6 of these!
