September 7th, 2012
- At Taylored Expressions we are celebrating our 4th Birthday and you’re invited to our Birthday Bash!
- All of the new products are NOW available for purchase. You’ll find it all in the Fresh out of the Oven Department.
- Lots of inspiration from the Baker’s Dozen – just follow the link list at the end of this post.

- Today is the final day of the TE Birthday Bash. The Baker’s Dozen has put together samples of ALL the new products to share today! I love this release so much, I just couldn’t stop stamping. I have even more samples to share than I planned for!
I couldn’t let the release go by without showcasing Up a Tree. This is the latest set in Doug’s Adorable Abode collection for Apple Doodle Ink. When I originally submitted the concept for a series of little houses/abodes I had no idea just how much fun this would be!
I have to say that I just love how this card turned out. I paper-pieced the tree with some polka dots! The sentiment is one I specifically requested because I always like to make a card for whoever housesits (really bird sits) for us when we go on a trip – thus “thanks for holding down the fort”. I used TE dies for the Picket Fence, Grass Border , Cloud Duo, and the Scalloped Eyelet Border too.
My second project for today features the Bake Me a Cake Die set. This is another super super fun die! Just like my little phones yesterday, I created a little note card with this die, but this time I mounted by notecard onto a flat panel die cut with Spellbinders Curvy Rectangles.
What fun to decorate this sweet cake. You’ll see that I did it a little different than the picture on the package, but that’s part of the fun, doing it how you like! I added lots of stickles and pearls and I also added Ranger Crackle Accents (love that stuff!) to the cake plate. The little cherry on top is from the Tiny Topper Die set. And here it is with the little card opened.
The sentiment is from the new You Take the Cake stamp set! Here’s what the die set looks like.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the TE Birthday Bash this week. I sure have enjoyed playing along and getting in stamping mode again! Let’s see what the rest of the Team has cooked up:
