Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek | Day 1

Hello and welcome to another week of Taylored Expressions sneak peeks!  The Baker's Dozen is giving you a little preview of 3 new sets and coordinating dies today:

• Dream Big Full-sized Stamp Set
• Treasure Life Full-sized Stamp Set
• Apothecary Shelf A la Carte Stamp
• Apothecary Taylored Die Set
• Stars Impression Plate

First up today is Dream Big, a set of 26 images and sentiments illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line.  All of the images are made of deeply etched rubber on EZ Mount, cut out and ready to stamp.

With graduation season right around the corner, Nancy has whipped up a fun set to help you out with not only your graduation cards and gifts, but any occasion that brings on a change in one's life.  I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black and cut them out with circle Nestabilities.  I embossed the kraft and red cardstock with TE's new Stars Impressions Plate, which is double sided and gives you 2 fantastic patterns.  You can see how to use the Impressions Plates in this tutorial Taylor created.  Just one pass through your die cut machine using the Embossing Pad Kit is all you need to do - super easy!
Next up is Treasure Life, another set designed by Nancy McKinney with 23 images and sentiments that can be used for every occasion.  Each sentiment is in beautiful script and the jar filler images can be used both inside and outside the jars and coordinate beautifully with the new Apothecary Shelf A la Carte stamp as well as Apothecary Taylored Die set.

I stamped 3 different jars and then using a stamp positioner I stamped the filler items in the jars.  I used the Take Note Die 3 to cut the image out.  The papers are Stella & Rose Hazel and I tucked the sentiment underneath the ribbon after cutting it out with the Favor Frame die.
