VIDEO | Taylored Expressions | Pass the Pie Embossing Bundle


The Pass the Pie Embossing Bundle is the second of Taylored Expressions' Black Friday deals and it's a great one! This bundle is packed with amazing essentials including the new Party Vibes BackgroundTreat Yo'Self stamp set and coordinating dies, plus new embossing powders in Jelly Donut Sparkle, Lollipop Sparkle and more!

Normally, I steer clear of pink and purple but these new embossing powders really inspired me and I came up with two ombre designs that make me want to break out all my pinks and purples.


This first card features the Party Vibes Background on a panel cut from three sections of Lavender Glaze, Jelly Donut and Eggplant cardstock. I stamped the background with Versamark watermark ink before heat embossing it with Jelly Donut Sparkle embossing powder.


I cut the background using the Frame in Frame 2 Cutting Plate, stacking the frame on a second layer to pop it up ever so slightly. I attached the background to a Sugar Cube card base before stamping the sentiments.


I used Lavender GlazeJelly Donut and Eggplant mini ink pads to create an ombre stamping of the sentiments from Treat Yo'Self before die cutting them and stacking them three-high and glueing them to the card.


For my second card, I created a similar ombre background from panels of Cupcake, Strawberry Milkshake and Lollipop cardstock. Then I used the coordinating inks and the Balloon Party Stencil & Clear Combo to create cascading ombre balloons.


I head embossed the confetti at the base of the balloons using the Lollipop Sparkle embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment from Treat Yo'Self using Lollipop ink and stamped it again with Versamark watermark ink before heat embossing it with Lollipop Sparkle for added shine.

After trimming 1/8" off the sides, I added the finished panel and sentiment to the card base and called it a day. 


If you weren't able to get your hands on this great bundle, many of the components (or suitable substitutes) are available for purchase in the supply links below. You can definitely use any background stamp set, sentiments with coordinating dies and any layering stencil set with the designs I shared.

Thanks so much for watching!

VIDEO | Taylored Expressions | Good Gravy Stamping Bundle


The Good Gravy Stamping Bundle is the first of Taylored Expressions' Black Friday deals and it's a great one! This bundle is packed with amazing essentials including the Teal MISTI, Rooting for You Clear Stamp, MISTI Clear Alignment Panels, MISTI Grid Paper, Just Press Tool and Pick up Stickers.


I started by selecting my colours for this clean and simple card design - Rose Water, Watermelon, Raspberry Sorbet and Mulled Wine. The stalks were stamped with Mulled Wine and the flowers were stamped with Rose Water and Watermelon. The stamen for the first flower was stamped with Raspberry Sorbet, as was the soil.


I stamped the sentiment with Versamark watermark ink and heat embossed it with copper embossing powder. After all of the stamping was finished, I used the largest of the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets to trim the panel. I cut two pieces of Mulled Wine and Watermelon cardstock, taped them together, then die cut it using the largest of the Petite Scallop Rectangle Stacklets.


To finish, I trimmed the A2 card base from Rose Water cardstock, then used a tape runner to attach both the scalloped and stitched layers to the card base.


If you weren't able to get your hands on this great bundle, all of the components are available for purchase in the supply links below, save for the layering stamp set. You can definitely use any layering stamp set with the design I shared.

Thanks so much for watching!
