SECOND BLOOM DAY 2

More of these beautiful Second Bloom cards.  The same design with different sentiments.  I used Taylored Expressions Papaya & Persimmon ink for the pink flowers.  

 

THE SECOND BLOOM

This is a new stamp set from Taylored Expressions that arrived in the mail on Monday.  I made these cards immediately and they turned out so pretty!  The stamp set is called Nature's Canvas The Second Bloom.  I stamped all the florals and then used the stencils to color them.  They are just beautiful.  The background on each card is the Tweed Background stamp from TE.  The oval dies and the details on the oval is from The Greetery along with the tiny words.  

Taylored Expressions Ink Colors:  

                  Cupcake, Strawberry Milkshake for the pink flowers

                  Potato Chip & Honey for the yellow flower

                  Pear & Sweet Basil for the leaves

WISH BIG!

Here's a fun birthday card using all Taylored Expressions products.  

HAPPY EASTER

This is a card that I created using products from The Greetery.  I have fallen in love with her new series of dies.  I have some Christmas, Valentine and now Spring.  The details are just amazing. It does take some work but I sure love how this turned out.  

TAYLORED EXPRESSIONS CLASS

I was excited to attend this class at the Taylored Expressions Studio yesterday!

The new classroom at Taylored Expressions is so nice.  The TV screens help to show you how to make your cards.  

   

The class included 4 cards but I made another one when I got home.  The flower card is the one I added.  The stamp set and matching dies were from Stamp Joy Virtual 2026.  It was a fun afternoon and now I have to try a new snack that Taylor recommends!  Bubs - anyone heard of them?  

PRETTY FLORAL

Thank you Joan for the card!  I really love that floral and I'm glad you used the embossing folder and I see that Amuse Studio striped card stock!  So pretty!  

BOOKMARKS ARE DONE!

THE Ohio State bookmarks are all done!  

I bought these bookmarks from Diamond Dotting Divas while I was in Phoenix.  I had a fun day with friends at the Mesa Market.  These bookmarks are colorful and were fun to put together.  

HAPPY ST. PAT'S DAY!

My St. Patrick's Day cards this year!  I did some green foiling using both the positive and negative pieces.  It worked out quite nicely!  I used mostly Taylored Expressions products. HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!

HAPPY MAIL!

Here are a couple of cards that I received in the mail for St. Patrick's day.  Thank you friends!  

OHIO STATE BOOKMARKS

Bookmark Done!  

There are 5 more Bookmarks for me to work on!  I really enjoy the Diamond Art and these bookmarks are so fun.  OH-IO!

 

CRAFTERNOON KIT!

My Crafternoon kit arrived from THE Ohio State University.  I look forward to these kits every year.  I was excited to see six Diamond art bookmarks in the kit!  I'm going to get started on one this morning while watching basketball games!  

I separated the gems into small plastic containers to make it easier to pour them out and return them into the containers.  I'll report back after I finish one! 

 

HAPPY EASTER!

Fun Easter cards - most everything is from Taylored Expressions.  I bought the Ticket A Tasket bundle from TE and thought the little basket would be cute for other things besides Easter.  The little bunny with his paws hanging over the basket is sure cute!  

HAPPY MARCH!

I already have my Mother's Day cards done.  They were simple and easy to make and I picked colors of flowers that I thought they would like.  

TAYLORED EXPRESSIONS COLOR CATALOG

This was quite the project.  Taylored Expressions introduced a Color Catalog for all their colors. The catalog includes stamp, blend, card stock and marker colors. It was a good project for a cold, snowy weekend in the stamp room!  I don't have OLO markers so I included Copic markers for my marker match colors.  

PALETTE PLAYBOOK STORAGE

I'm always excited for a new organization project.  Taylored Expressions introduced this new Medium binder to accommodate all the Palette Playbook reference guides.  They will eventually have one for every color.  It is helpful when you need to figure out what colors go well together and shade sequence.
