More is More

Welcome to Day #1 of the Sneak Peeks for the November Release at Taylored Expressions.  I’m excited to play along with Taylor and the Baker’s Dozen this week.  Everything you see in peeks will be available in the TE Store Thursday morning at 8 am PST.  On the menu today is a super fun new set in the Whimsical Wishes line illustrated by Nancy McKinney – What’s Cookin’?  This super fun retro kitchen set features 21 different stamps inluding 13 images and 8 fun coordinating sentiments.  Not only that, but there are also 2 coordinating sets of Taylored Dies to go with the set as well.  I’ll be featuring one of the die sets in my sample today.

This sentiment was so perfect for the thank you I needed for my friend Denise.  She made the most incredible toffee to fill the favor boxes for our niece Kira’s wedding.  It was beyond yummy and such a special touch!   “With friends like you, who needs Martha Stewart?”  And look at that cute little image of measuring spoons!  Love it!

The stamp set includes 2 apron images and a coordinating apron and pocket die set.  For my card today I didn’t use the apron stamps, but rather just die cut the apron from 2 different pieces of patterned paper.  (Papers used are October Afternoon Fly a Kite and the coordinating cardstock kit which looks to be out of stock at the moment.)   I simply hand cut the ruffle, sash and ties off the blue apron and glued them onto the red polka dot apron.  The sentiment was stamped in Real Red craft ink and heat embossed with clear ep. Measuring spoons were colored with Copics and then with a glaze and glitter pen.  Other supplies include: Lacey Circle Spellbinders, Red Stickles, Market Twine, buttons from my stash.

Just wait till you see this whole stamp set!  I think you’ll love it as much as I do.  In the meantime let’s check out what the Baker’s Dozen has cooked up with this set to whet your appetite:
