Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek | Day 3

Welcome back!  This is day 3 of Taylored Expression May release sneaks and everything will be available tomorrow morning at 8 AM Pacific.  Today the Baker's Dozen is featuring 4 new sets along with a fun new Taylored Die!

• It's In the Bag - full sized stamp set
• Moka Olivia - petite set
• Moka Jenn - petite set
• Summer Wreath - petite set
• Shopping Bag & Labels Die Set

First up for me this morning is our new Moka Jenn - a new petite set created and illustrated by Nancy McKinney, which I just have to say is one of my most favorite images yet!  I just had to ink her up the minute I unwrapped her!  She comes with various sentiments, which are just cute as can be and I'm so excited to see where these Moka girls will take us!

I started with Taylor's TESC137 and stamped Jenn in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Choice Snow White cardstock and again on Stella & Rose Mabel paper so I could paper piece her cute little shirt.  I am totally loving that baby bump!  She's just the cutest!  I'm still learning how to color in hair, so I was so happy that this set came on it's own 3" x 5.5" image panel - in full color - so that I could sort of see how to shade in all that glorious hair!  I ended up coloring her hair red to match the papers and then my youngest asked me if that was Auntie Sarah - who has the most beautiful red hair ever.  My first little red-headed image.  For the scalloped border I used the Small, Medium, and Large Scallop Border dies and then added a few Savannah Buttons in the corner.

I stamped simply on the inside of the card.

Up next is It's In the Bag - another fantastic set illustrated by Nancy for the Whimsical Wishes line and it's packed full of possibilities for every gift-giving occasion and party.

I started off with Julee's MOJO189 sketch and papers from Jillybean Soup - Blossom Soup and that's kind of how I ended up with my pink and green color scheme.  It's In the Bag has a coordinating Shopping Bag & Label die that is SO sweet and fun and I cut the shopping bag out on the patterned paper and added the little label from the die set in olive cardstock and then popped up the Bamboo Leaves umbrella on a 3/4" circle. 

I ended up stuffing in some pink tissue paper - yep, I just stuffed it in there, just like I do with big size gift bags, hehe, and I adore how it just comes to life off the card!
