It's the TE Release Day & TKT #21 too!

Whoa, that's a LOT of T's.... Happy That's Krafty Thursday lil' hens!! Today is release day at Taylored Expressions. There are 5 new sets being released today and 3 new card kits too! I'll be showing the last of the 5 sets today along with some ideas using one of the new card kits.

For today's project I used the set called "Let's Do Coffee". I'm SO lovin' this set cuz I'm such a coffee fanatic, it's not funny!! That's so weird too, because until I was in my mid 30's, I wouldn't touch the stuff. Then a friend of mine took me to Dunkin Donuts and that was all she wrote!!! LOL!!

I bought this cup at Hobby Lobby last month and when I saw this new set, I knew I had to use it with it. I stamped Tena onto some SU Kraft CS that I had cut the same size as the insert. I colored her with my Copics and cut a small strip of SU Basic Black CS that I punched with my SU scalloped border punch to place along the top edge. Kinda looks like she's under an awning doesn't it? I made a matching tag with another stamp in the set and tied it onto the cup with some raffia. I gave this to my daughter and she was thrilled with it. Ain't I a good momma hen?

Ok, now for the card kit. This card kit features the Cosmo Cricket Early Bird collection, which I absolutely LOVE! I incorporated the "Let's Do Coffee" stamp set to make a few Thank You cards. You can NEVER have too many of those, right? The card kit includes:

  • 10 Choice Cardstock A2 card bases
  • 10 A2 envelopes
  • 15 sheets of patterned paper sized for cardmaking at 4" x 6" (3 sheets each of 5 double-sided patterns)
  • 20 sheets of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cardstock (4 sheets each of 5 colors)
  • 1 package of Kaisercraft Pearls
  • 8 panels of Choice 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


Is that a ton of stuff or what?? And here's the shocker... they're ONLY $14.95. SHUT UP!! I'd pay that for just the BOX!! This box is so STINKIN cool!! I've gotta get a few of these just to have on hand. It was soooo easy to decorate too! I used my MS lace border punch down the center and punched out the word CARDS with my SU oval punch for the front label. I'm LOVIN' this box!! Ok, so I made these three cards with only the supplies that came with the kit. Now even though I've only shown you three, there are enough supplies to make 10!
Wouldn't this make a GREAT gift idea too! Once for a wedding shower, I made the bride two dozen thank you cards in her wedding colors to send out to everyone for their shower gifts. I wrapped it all in a basket and included a nice pen and even put a couple of books of stamps in there too! Honestly, she flipped over it!! I was so pleased she liked it. Now, after seeing this box, I wish I would have had one of these back then. Ok, that does it for me today. I hope you've enjoyed all the sneak peek previews this week and be sure to let me know how I did, k? Don't forget to check out the rest of the Baker's Dozen too! Have a great day! {{{hen hugs}}}

  21. I love all of the color combinations for the cards! They are bright and fun. I like how you used the constrasting paper for the borders on the green one and I like the corner brads on the third one.
