Taylored Expressions April Sneak Peeks - Made in the Shade - A Glimpse Inside

Hi All! And a Very Happy Tuesday to you! Welcome to our March Sneak Peeks! 8-) We have lots of Fun inspiration to share Today through Friday.  All of the new products will be available for purchase on Thursday, April 4th at 8 am PST. You'll find it all in the Fresh out of the Oven Department at the Taylored Expressions Store.

Today I am sharing a couple of Fun Projects and the first one features The Brand New Made in the Shade Stamp set and along with the Shade Tree Cutting Plate as well!... 8-)
OMGosh can I just tell you I had so much fun putting together my Fun Welcome to the Neighborhood card! I just Love all the Sweet images in the Made in the Shade Stamp set! They are super Versatile and can be used year round for all kinds of occasions! Yay! LOVE that! 8-) I stamped my Adorable little houses with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White CS, did a bit of paper piecing & colored up the rest with my trusty Copics 
I cut out with the Cool New  Coordinating Shade Tree Cutting Plate panel and popped it up with a bit of foam tape on top of my little Houses panel. I crated my Fluffy clouds with my TE Cloud Border Die Cut template, Tumbled Glass Distress ink and a small stippling brush. My Mats and BG layers were created with Bazzill CS, & Some Super Cute dp's from Doodlebug's Flower Box 6x6 collection. To finish it all up I just stamped my From My Window Sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black directly onto my main image panel...8-)

Next up I am featuring the Brand New A Glimpse Inside Stamp set along with the Brand New Window Accessories Dies, Flower Box Sprigs & Flowers Dies, Ric-Rac Border Dies as well as the previously released Arched Window Die too! 8-)
I Absolutely LOVE these fun coordinting Stamp and Dies sets!! OMGoodness you can do SOOO Much with them, just endless possibilities here!! LOVE that!! ;-) And I Love all the amazing detail these dies create too.. Here's an up Close & PErsonal shot so you can see what I mean... ;-)
I stamped my Adorable Christmas Tree image with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White CS  did a little paper piecing & colored up the rest with my trusty Copics.  Next I cut out all the pieces to my Pretty Window Scene with the help of the Brand New Window Accessories Dies, the Arched Window Die and Choice Buttercream CS with a touch of Vintage Photo shading and all popped up with a bit of Foam tape. I added my Sweet Flower Box Sprigs and Flowers Die cuts and added a fun window swag with he Brand New Ric-Rac Border Dies & added some Sweet adhesive pearls and a touch of Stadust Stickles too. My Mats and BG layers were created with  Bazzill CS's, Choice Buttercream CS, & Some Fun dp's from Crate Paper's DIY Shop 6x6 collection. To finish it all up, I stamped the From my Window Sentiment with Memento Rich Cocoa onto a Make it Memorable Die Cut and added some pretty gingham ribbon from my stash. And there you have it, my First Christmas Card of 2013! Yay! ;-)
