TE Garage Sale TODAY!

I was excited to go to the TE Garage Sale this morning.  It was supposed to be outside but the weather moved us inside, which was just as good!  Taylored Expressions knows how to pivot and make it work.  

I was there about an hour early so we have time to visit with other TE fans while we waited for 10 am!

Shoppers finding their treasures!

Waiting in line!

Here's my haul from the TE Garage Sale.  I bought a lot of Foil Its, some card stock and a couple of stamps.  FREE tote for the first 100 customers that checked out.  

GUS & GERTIE

I made a few cards using the Taylored Expressions Gus & Gertie 4th of July. I'm a little late to send them to anyone but they are ready for next year!   

YEAR IN BLOOM

I've been collecting the Taylored Expressions Year in Bloom stamps and buying the coordinating dies.  I decided to stamp, die cut and color a bunch so they are ready to use.  

I found a few frames in my collection to use with the flowers.

I used all Taylored Expressions products for this card.  The card base is a Toffee Mini slim.  I die cut the rectangle postage in the colors Pineapple, Tropical Punch and Sweet Champagne.  I used Copic markers to color the flowers.  The background stamp is TE Weathered Words stamped in Sugar Cube ink.  

Pretty Collage!

Another fun collage card - this was from piece of patterned paper. I recently purchased a Day Planner at Hobby Lobby that was on clearance for less than $2.  I cut up a lot of the patterned papers that were included in the 12 month planner, so many good ones!  This is a random pattern that was incorporated in the planner.  Lots of small-ish designs to make a cute collage card!

VEGGIES!

The Taylored Expressions Seeds and Such kit has been fun to make a few summer time garden cards.  I stenciled all the veggies and then die cut them out.  I used the TE Knock on Wood background stamp for a simple layer.  In used the TE Frame in Frame 3 for the black stitched border.  It fit perfectly around the seed packet!  
 

SEEDS for Summer!

I recently purchased the Taylored Expressions Seeds & Such kit.  I followed a video by Heather Nichols to create a card and a gift card holder.  Here is is link to the video - fun projects!

GIRAFFES!

A cute little treat ready to go for my Book Club next week.  We read the book "West With Giraffes" by Lynda Rutledge.  This is a perfect addition to the table.  Thank you Doreen for the giraffe die - so cute!

 

Cards, Cards and more Cards!

I saw this picture in my camera roll from several years ago.  It made me happy! I thought it was a fun variety of cards.  I might have to recreate a few of them!  

 

BIRTHDAY CARDS

I recently visited Doreen and I die cut out the Happy Birthday.  I thought I should go ahead and make them into cards.  These were quick and easy and I think many of them will work for guy cards based on my color choices.  

 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

      

I made these cards a while ago to have ready to go for anniversary cards.  I used the Taylored Expressions Summer Nights Layering Stencils.  For the gold I used the Glitter Grab and then gold foil.  The sentiment is from Taylored Expression called Anniversary - The Inside Scoop.  

THE GREETERY

When I saw this release from The Greetery a few years ago I couldn't help myself.  I absolutely had to recreate this look with the citrus slices.  I didn't take a picture of the completed projects but I used them as tags on a Christmas gift.  I still love the look of these and will definitely make more.  

 

HAPPY 4th!

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!  I have two crafty friends that sent me a card in the mail.  Aren't they so patriotic?  🩷🤍💙

 

BIRTHDAY BLOWOUT!

I made these cards a while ago but recently used it again.  It is Taylored Expressions Birthday Blowout Stencils and embossing folder.  I used a variety of card base colors and sentiments.  

WILD FLOWER STENCIL

I made a postage collage card with my friend, Doreen.  We were both stenciling together, it was more fun with a friend!  We used the Waffle Flower Wild Flower stencil.  I decided to add a birthday sentiment to mine.  

TE SUMMER SCHOOL

 

Last Saturday, I was in Summer School with Taylored Expressions.  We made 4 cards all using foil.  We learned a few fun foiling techniques including double foiling.  Taylored Expressions sent a kit in the mail and then we had a live class with Taylor and Susan.  If you have to go to summer school, this was the best way to go!
