Taylored Expressions 10th Birthday Mega Party!!


I am so excited to be participating in this blog hop today!  I was a member of the TE team for quite a while, so it's crazy to think this all started 10 years ago!!!  There are over 40 designers participating in this hop today!!  How exciting is that!!??  You can find the whole list on Taylor's Blog!  Last night, new products were released and you can find those products HERE

I have used an older set to create my card in celebration of TE's Birthday!!  My card uses the Tropical Trio Stamp & Die Combo!  I've also used some fun papers from TE including the Hello Sunshine Paper Pack and Blue Raspberry and Pineapple cardstocks!!  The clouds in the background were created using some Confetti Cake ink and the Set the Scene Clouds Stencil Strips.

If you've been around TE for any amount of time, you know all about the Share Joy Campaign!  At the heart of Taylored Expressions is a mission to share joy through the gift of handmade cards. As part of their 10th birthday TE is continuing that mission with the launch of a special Share Joy campaign focused on providing birthday cards to those in nursing homes and assisted-living facilities across the U.S. To make as deep an impact as possible TE is inviting card makers everywhere to join the campaign. Will you join us? Find out how to participate by viewing their Share Joy page here: https://www.tayloredexpressions.com/share-joy-birthday-2018 

I hope you'll consider joining the campaign and sharing some joy!!  Thanks for stopping by and celebrating these wonderful 10 years with us!!

I love the two-step stamping capabilities of this set!!  The sentiment was stamped and embossed in white on black cardstock.  As a finishing touch, I added some gold cording.  Next on today's hop is Maureen!!  Thanks for stopping by!!

Welcome back to Day 5 of our Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops!  It's an exciting day as there's new Verve in the store this morning! 4 beautiful new sets and 2 coordinating die sets just released and they're all available to order right now. To celebrate this special 10th Anni-VERVE-sary release, we're putting on another blog hop, with a pretty cool prize!

Today's featured focus is designer's choice, so you might just sneak a peek at a whole bunch of must-haves, especially since we've got a full line-up of Divas, guests and Alumni today!

If you've come from visiting Betty, you're in the right place!!  For today's card, I stuck with the Scripture Medley 5 stamp set.  I just love the verses in this set.  I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Classy Label Die and stamped the sentiment in black ink.  I found some pretty papers in my scrap bin that would create an elegant card and went with that.  As a finishing touch, I added some trim and some sequins.  Thanks for stopping by all week!!  I hope you've been inspired!  Next on today's hop is Marisa!!
