More is More

One year ago today Taylored Expressions debuted the very first Stamp a Sweet Impression stamp sets: Sweet Celebration, Trick or Sweet, and Frighful Night.  To celebrate, Taylor is throwing a huge Birthday Bash over on the SASI Blog AND all 3 of those original sets are ON SALE for 40% OFF through Monday in The Store.  There are tons of party challenges to be posted every hour all day today each with an awesome prize!  You have until Wednesday night to play and enter for prizes and you don’t even need to use Taylored Expressions images to play.

 Taylor asked the Baker’s Dozen Alumni from the original team last year to help celebrate by highlighting one of those original sets.  I just had to make a birthday card with Sweet Celebration.

I used elements from the TE Cupcakes Key Ingredients along with the coordinating doodlebug brads I had been hoarding.  I actually managed to use 7 of them on this one card – can you find them all?  The Cupcake KI is sold out, but you can purchase the elements separately – click here for the patterned paper.  The trims I used are the Double Loop Pastel. The image is stamped on TE Choice Snow White cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  It was die cut with the Spellbinders Curved Rectangles Nestabilities.

Of course today is also Release Day at Taylored Expressions and what a release it is with 4 new stamp sets (including the next in the Giving Tree charity series and three Halloween offerings), 2 new Key Ingredients and 3 Bundle Deals.  You can get all the details on that by hopping over to Taylor’s blog.  While you’re there be sure to scroll to the bottom of her post for links to a ton of samples by some amazingly talented ladies including the current Baker’s Dozen, the rest of the Baker’s Dozen Alumni, and a an incredible list of TE Friends who are special party guests today!

Before I close I just have to share one of my very favorite cards from my first month on the Baker’s Dozen.  I went crazy making Halloween cards last year – even though I don’t like Halloween in the least – because these sets are so cute.  This card features both Trick or Sweet and Frightful Night. I like to call this little cuppie Vampy.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful long weekend and I hope you get a chance to play in some or all of the TEBB Challenges!
