The Cute Combo Release

Hi All! Today is the Cute Combo Release at Taylored Expressions. The Cute Combo Release is full of cute, petite stamp and die combos that are perfect for many different occasions. There are 10 different sets to chose from. I have cards to share with you with four of the stamp and die combos. 


My first card is created with the  Turtle-y Awesome Stamp & Die Combo. Such a cute turtle! I stamped in Oreo Ink and colored with Olo Markers and then die cut. 


To create the ocean theme I die cut the front panel with the Squiggle Stacklets from Sugar Cardstock. Next I used the Set the Scene - Waves Stencil with Rock Candy, Blue Raspberry, and Confetti Cake Inks, starting with the darkest ink at the the bottom. I stamped the bubbles with a a stamp included in the stamp set with Rock Candy Ink. I finished off with a light splattering of white ink and a few Bits & Pieces - Clear Drip Dots. 


The sentiment is included in the Turtle-y Awesome Stamp & Die Combo. I stamped in Versamark Ink on Rock Candy Cardstock and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. 


Next is a look at the Fast Track Stamp and Die Combo. A great set for all the car and car racing fans! I stamped the cars and the flags with VersaFine Clair - Nocturne Ink and embossed with TE Clear Embossing Powder to add a little extra shine to my cars. Then I colored with Olo Markers. I added Bit & Pieces - Bits & Pieces - Black Rhinestones to the wheels. 


I used the Winding Road Die to create the street, using a white gel pen to added the street line. The background is stenciled with the Around Town Stencil with Mint Julep Ink. 


The sentiment is also included in the  Fast Track Stamp and Die Combo. 


The Snowy Season Stamp Set and Die combo is perfect for this time a year. The set is full of pretty snowflakes. I stamped a variety of snowflakes in Cake Pop, Blue Raspberry, and Versmark Ink on Dried Fig Cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder. 


I used Cake Pop Cardstock for the background and blended Cake Pop Ink on the edges. Then I stamped the Dotted Snowfall Background Stamp in Versamark Ink and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. I added the hills of snow at the bottom with the Build A Scene - Snow Drifts Die Set. I inked the edges with Cake Pop Ink and added TE All That Glitters - Fluffy Snow. 


I also added a few Bit & Pieces - Clay Snowflakes. I added a sentiment for the stamp set at the bottom. 


My last card features the Air Mail Stamp and Die Combo. I think I will use this stamp set on cards throughout the year. I stamped a variety of the postage themed stamps to create the background, stamping in Royal Icing Ink on Royal Icing Cardstock. I added a die cut image to the top corner and center of the card. 


This sentiment is from the Foil It - Mini Strips Sending and die cut with the Mini Strip Die. I used TE Fun Foil in Cherry Pop.


The outside border is stenciled with the Outgoing Frames Layering Stencil with Cherry Pop and Royal Icing Inks.

My first card is created with the Foil It - Leafy Palette and the Leafy Palette Layering Stencil. The stencil also creates a record of the the colors you used which you can die cut with the Palette Coordinating Die. This a nice option to create color combo that you can go back and reference.

The sentiment is from the Sundry Sentiments Stamp Set. I finished off the card with a few Teal and Green Glitter Drop and a light splattering of white paint. 


My second card used the Foil It - Hooray and the Hooray Palette Layering Stencil. On this card I used Fruit Punch, Kiwi, Pineapple, Candy Corn, Confetti Cake, and Blue Raspberry Inks. 


I foiled the panel with the TE Gold Shimmer Foil and added glitter drops in Gold, Teal, and Green. I die cut the foiled panel with the Squiggle Stacklets.
