Emily Leiphart: VIDEO | Taylored Expressions

Taylored Expressions has an incredible new release of exclusives, including products which were previously gifts with purchase or available to Stamp Joy Event participants only. Today, I'm sharing a video using the Easy Strips Dies and Easy Strips Stack.

In this video, I share three cards using all three sizes of the Easy Strips Dies: 1/8", 1/4" and 1/2". I use different combinations of colours and widths on these cards and they're just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what you can do with these strips.

This first Hello card features all three 1/8", 1/4" and 1/2" Easy Strips Dies cut from Guava, Pineapple, Granny Smith and Blue Raspberry, as well as Oreo, Sea Salt and Sugar Cube cardstock.

After assembling the strip pattern on a piece of copy paper with liquid glue, I die cut it using the largest of the Stitched Circle Stacklets. Then I trimmed a piece of 2" x 4" Sea Salt cardstock and attached all three layers to the card base.

Next, I cut the Gathered Stars Die from silver glitter cardstock and attached it to the striped circle with liquid glue.

To finish, I pulled a sentiment from the Mini Strips--Fun & Funny stamp set, which was previously stamped and stored in one of my Simple Storage for Simple Strips containers.

My second Birthday card features the 1/4" and 1/2" Easy Strips Dies cut from Confetti Cake, Blue Raspberry, Blueberry and Eggplant, as well as Sea Salt and Sugar Cube cardstock.

I arranged the strips on the 4" x 5.25" Sugar Cube cardstock panel, making sure the vertical strips of each colour were adhered before the horizontal ones to create a pattern. Then I attached the panel to a Sea Salt card base.

I die cut the Subtle Sprigs from silver glitter cardstock and adhered it using liquid glue. I stamped On the Block--Happy in Blueberry ink on Sugar Cube cardstock, and Building Blocks--Happy Additions in Eggplant ink on Sea Salt cardstock.

I popped both parts of the sentiment on to the card with foam tape and the card is finished! This design is so simple, it would be fun to make a gift set with different colour variations.

For this third Love card, I did some basic paper weaving, something I hadn't thought about since I was in elementary school. I used Fruit Punch, Guava, Pineapple and Granny Smith.

It was hard to keep the horizontal strips right next to each other because of the 1/8" strips, the high quality 100lb cardstock and not having enough space between vertical strips.

I attached the paper-weaved strip down the centre of a panel die cut from the Stitched With Love Cutting Plate which is attached flat to the card base. I popped up the Frame in Frame 2 border in Sea Salt on foam tape.

I stamped the On the Block--Love in Fruit Punch ink on Sugar Cube cardstock, adding a silver glitter shadow behind it. I popped that up on foam tape, along with a pre-stamped sentiment from Building Blocks--Love Additions from my Simple Storage for Building Blocks container.

For a limited time, the purchase of all three Easy Strips Dies will earn the Easy Strips Stack FREE, and a total purchase of $75+ will also earn 10 Valentine-coloured mini slim envelopes.
