Welcome back for day 2 of the fun April Sneak Peeks from Taylored Expressions! Tomorrow is the BIG day when all the new stamps and dies are revealed and you can buy everything! Can I get a wooot wooot!? Today I have two more projects to share with you. There are lots of graduation themed items in this month's release so if you need grad presents and cards, we got ya covered! It's that time of year! So I'm sharing a grad project and a card!
My first card for today is a birthday card made with the gorgeous new addition to the TE Bouquet series – the Lavender Bouquet. I love this one so much, and had a ball coloring it in pretty shades of purple. I kept the rest of the card sweet and simple, to showcase the pretty image. Always love the color combo of purple and green.
I tied my sentiment on with some pretty twine and a designer mini tag…
Here are my Copic choices for today….
Here is a close up of my layers…
Next up is a graduation project to share with you! I personally don't know any grads this year, so I made a gift bag and card for my sweet co-worker to give her son in a couple of months. His school colors are burgundy and black and it was nice to make a masculine project for a change. I really like how this came out. I started with a black gift bag from the Hallmark store and jazzed it up. Then I made a mini card to tuck inside.
This new grad cap die is wonderful. Each piece is separate, so you can use different colors for each part and make it school color specific. I added glitter to the tassel part of it! Used my Tall and Skinny Numbers dies to make the year. You could do so much with these items to personalize things for your grads.
I put the hang tag on with an eyelet and slipped it through the handle. LOVE this saying with this stamp!! At the last minute I added some bling next to his name.
