That's right, it's day one of the Taylored Expressions sneak peek and are you in store for some fantastic new sets! Today the Baker's Dozen are showing you sneak peeks of two new sets, CreativeTEA and Miniature Motifs, designed by Nancy McKinney. I am also giving you a peek at ONE of the THREE new card kits that Taylor will be releasing on Thursday April 8th! So grab a cuppa 'cause I have a long post to share with you today!
First up is the new set, CreativiTEA paired with the Paper Girl Card Kit. Can you say SWOON??? The card kit contains patterned paper from The Girls Paperie, coordinating cardstock & ribbon, a package of KaiserCraft Bliss Adhesive Pearls a Perfect Package Card Box plus envelopes! You also receive a downloadable inspiration sheet for each card kit you order! I made this card set and decorated the Perfect Package Card Box and still have SO MUCH product left over! The card kits sell for 14.95 and is well worth every penny, IMO! Taylor has a very informative video for you to watch regarding this card kit, so to view it just click here.
I made a set of four cards using four different patterns from the kit. They are clean and fairly simple and really took no time to put together! I used the flower image from CreativiTEA and two of the sentiments, Happy Birthday and Thank You.
I used Classic and Scallop Oval Nestabilities for the main oval and Spellbinders Labels Trio for the sentiments. I also added some machine stitching around the edge of the patterned paper panel.
This is the Perfect Package Card Box that will house this set of cards. I kept it fairly simple and used the same layout and elements that were used on the cards. To make the sentiment for the box, I took two of the sentiments from CreativiTEA, "Time For Tea" and "Missing You" and masked out the words "for" and "you" and got them to line up perfectly using my Stamp-a-ma-jig.
This is my final card to share with you today! I used the new Miniature Motifs and CreativiTEA for this card, along with elements from the Paper Girl Card Kit. The two lighter pink panels were stamped with one of the patterns from Miniature Motifs. Miniature Motifs is an ATC size set of four mini backgrounds and they coordinate PERFECTLY with CreativiTEA. And see the sentiment? LOVE it!! Hope you're not getting sick of the ruffled ribbon!! LOL~
