SIMPLY STATED

Lordy you would think I wouldn't need another sentiment set but here I go again!  I spent some time stamping and foiling these sentiments so they are ready to go when I need them.  They are tucked in the back of the storage pocket - I will thank myself later!

 

MAKE N' TAKE

This is a pretty Make n Take card that I recently put together at the Taylored Expressions Studio. We started with a Foil It and then colored with OLO markers.  I added a different sentiment when I got home.  

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!

FOIL IT CRAZY WOMAN!

Now that's a lot of Foil Its!  I had to do a reorganization of all my Foil Its (mostly Taylored Expressions).  I do have a few Gina K Designs Poly Glaze Foiling sheets as well.  I found the large container at Container Store.  It is called Craft & Media Shimo Organizer Box.  LINK HERE  It is BIG - 22"x14¼"x6⅛" but I'm really happy with being able to get them all in one place. Taylored Expressions sells the 4"x6" storage pockets.  LINK HERE Taylored Expression sells labels for many of the Foil Its.  I used my label maker if the label wasn't included in the label sets.  I separated the Foil Its into categories.  Stand Alone Patterns, Coordinating Products, Sentiments, Mini/Triple Slims, Insiders, TE Maps & Gina K.  I also have a slot for the larger 6x6 Foil Its.  The lid doesn't fit if I include these so we'll see if I keep them in this storage or find something else. So now after seeing all these Foil Its in one place, I'm heating up my Mini Minc and having a foiling day!!!!!!

FALL FEELING!

I put together a card pack for a friend.  I wanted a Fall assortment of cards which I found in my stash.  

All these cards have a fall feel with the oranges and yellows.  I 🧡 Fall!

UP FOR A CELEBRATION

Here are a few more birthday cards using the Taylored Expressions Up for a Celebration layering stencil, Foil Its and coordinating die.  I have a card ready for my niece who turns 11 later this month.  I used two different embossing folders for the backgrounds including Tiny Twinkles and Shoutout Birthday.  

 

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!

HAPPY EASTER!

 

Modern Eucalyptus

These cards are made with Taylored Expressions products.  I had the Modern Eucalyptus Foil It panels to start that I foiled with black foil.  I ink blended with stencils to add the green on the leaves.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Sundry Sentiments.  I plan to use these for guy cards. 

PERENNIAL SCENES FOIL IT

These are the Taylored Expressions Perennial Scenes Foil It panels.  The 8 ½" x 11" pre-printed patterns coordinate with the Perennial Scenes layering stencils.  I have a new color palette to try.  This is how it looks after blending the first two colors for Stencil #1 and Stencil #2 - two stencils to go!

The blue and yellow are pretty together, don't you think?  I used all Taylored Expressions inks.  

LOVE these!  I haven't figured out yet if I'll make cards or more calendars.  I did the foiling using Silver foil.  I noticed there are a few spots where the foil did not stick.  Not sure why?
