More is More

Happy Thursday!  It’s another day of Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks and I get to play along once again. *happy dance* Tomorrow (Friday) morning at 8 am PST everything will be available for purchase in the TE Store.  Today the Baker’s Dozen have samples of two new sets, Cuppie in the Kitchen and Hangin’ Out, as well as another Project Pantry Kit!

The card I have for you today features Hangin’ Out!  The concept for this set came from Baker’s Dozen designer Sankari Wegman and as soon as I heard about it I knew it was going to be a winner! Sankari and Taylor made a great team along with our Whimsical Wishes illustrator Nancy McKinney to bring this clothesline set to life.  So so so many possibilities with this stamp set.  Oh and it also coordinates wonderfully with Taylor’s new Cloudy Days Big Background stamp as you can see on my card.

I started with a Cool Caribbean cardbase (I was surprised to discover that I had an entire unopened pack of that cardstock!) and I stamped it with the Cloudy Background in Cool Caribbean classic ink for a soft tone on tone effect.  Then I took a piece of white cardstock that had been die cut with Spellbinders Labels 1 and also stamped that with the background in Cool Caribbean.  That gave me a great base to create my simple little scene.  The pennants were stamped onto October Afternoon Farm Fresh paper and cut out and popped up on foam tape.  The actual clothesline was hand-drawn with a Copic Multi-liner.  The pole, tiny bows, bird and sentiment are all stamps in this darling set.  Embellishments include red kasiercraft rhinestones, pom pom trim, black polka dot ribbon and some alpha stickers I got a long time ago from a dollar spot somewhere.

I can hardly wait to see what the Baker’s Dozen girls have created – let’s go check it out!

Thanks for stopping by today.  I plan/hope to be back tomorrow morning with a sample for Taylor’s sketch as well as another new release sample.  Are you signed up to receive the Taylored Expressions Newsletter (written by yours truly) in your e-mail in-box?  If not you can simply go to the TE Store and scroll down to the bottom of the left hand side bar and enter your e-mail address.  The Newsletter usually goes out twice a month and always has samples and links to all the newest products.  We’d love to have you on our mailing list!
