Taylored Expressions April Release Sneak Peek Day #1

Are you ready for some new release sneak peek? I don’t know about you but I have been waiting for such a long time to share them. From today till Thursday I will share projects using Taylored Expressions April release products. Thursday is the release day when all these goodies will be available for purchase.

Hello and welcome to my blog post. On day #1 I am excited to share this new stamp set called Simple Strips Background stamp and coordinating die.

The stamp is one large piece of stamp with eighteen sentiments. You can stamp them all at one go. Then using the coordinating die which is also one large die, lines ups beautifully with the stamped sentiment to die cut them all out at the same time. You can use one sentiment for your card and save the rest for later use. No need to dig through stamp sets, stamp, emboss and die cut a sentiment. One less step to complete a project. I am all for making life easy. I love love this concept.

I paired this new Simple Strips background stamp with a previously released background stamp called Color Me Background to make this card.

The Color Me background is white heat embossed on Sugar Cube cardstock, sponged with Spiced Marmalade, Worn Liptstick and Picked Raspberry distress inks for an embossed resist background. Then I used copic markers in the orange and pink which are slightly darker in shade to Spiced marmalade and Picked Raspberry to added shading to the image on diagonally opposite side.

I white heat embossed the sentiment using Simple Strips background stamp on Oreo cardstock and die cut all the sentiments using the coordinating dies. I adhered the five sentiment I thought go well with each other randomly on the middle of the background panel using foam adhesives. Then using Nuvo white crystal drops I added some details on the background. The completed panel is adhered to the Sugar Cube card base using craft foam.

Here are the supplies used to make this card.
