Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks Day 2

Today the Baker's Dozen is showcasing Mom a la carte, It's a Banner Day 3, the coordinating Banner Day 3 die and two fabulous card kits. All the new products will be available at Taylored Expressions starting tomorrow, April 7th, at 8am PST.

It's a Banner Day 3 is the last set in the banner series that is illustrated by Taylor for the TE line and was concepted by Iwona Palamountain, and she's playing along with us today for sneak peeks.

The sentiments in this set are so versatile and can be paired with a variety of images, new or old. I decided to give an older set a little love and paired It's a Banner Day 3 with CreativiTEA.

I've used the Emma's Shoppe Card Kit, which contains:
10 choice buttercream cardstock A-2 card bases
10 A-2 envelopes
15 sheets of patterned paper sized for card making at 4" x 6" (3 sheets each of 5 double-sided patterns from the Crate Paper Emma's Shoppe collection)
20 sheets of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cardstock (4 sheets each of 5 colours)
1 package of Kaisercraft pearls
8 panels of choice buttercream cardstock sized 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" for images and layering
5 yards of ribbon (2.5 yards each of 2 different styles)
1 Perfect Package Card Box

I created a lovely set of four cards, using the same layout and image on each card, but I switched up the sentiments so they're all different. That way you can see the versatility of It's a Banner Day 3 even when I use the same image.

I stamped the teapot with Memento Tuxedo Black directly onto the floral patterned paper and cut it out. I added a little shading with my R46 copic marker and a small pearl to the lid. I popped the teapot with foam tape onto the pink layer, which was cut out with my From the Heart Frame die.

The banner outline was stamped with regal rose, and I used my stamp positioner to ensure perfect placement of each sentiment. Then I cut out the banners with the coordinating Banner Day 3 die.

Did you notice the texture on the yellow background layer? That's thanks to my circles impression plate. And I added a sweet green scallop to the design using my medium scallop border die.

But I didn't stop at just a set of cards...I also decorated the Perfect Package Card Box that comes in the Emma's Shoppe Card Kit. I wanted to keep the decor quite simple, in keeping with my simply layered cards. The entire focal point was done with a variety of dies: Leafy Branch, Garden Party Blooms 2, and Friendship Blooms. Even with everything I created using this kit, I still have plenty of supplies left for at least six more cards, if not more!

I can't wait to see what the rest of the Baker's Dozen created with It's a Banner Day 3, Mom a la carte, and these fun card kits!
