TE Sneak Peek: Branching Out

Are ya ready??!! It's time for another release from Taylored Expressions.....and with this release there's something totally NEW!! Taylored Expressions is Branching Out, and in more ways than one!!

There will now be a brand new stamp line of stamps called Whimsical Wishes! The two new sets, called Branching Out and Branching Out Coordinates (a mini set), kick off this new line! There's also a new program called the TE Giving Tree. Taylored Expressions will be donating the proceeds from sales of these two new sets to a wonderful charity called Eden Projects. There will be new stamp sets introduced quarterly for this on-going charitable program. Stop by Taylor's blog for more details!!

These sets are a little different than the SASI stamps in that they will need to be trimmed when you get them, but there's a good reason for that...this cut the manufacturing cost so Taylored Expressions can give MORE to the Eden Projects charity. They're still the same deeply etched, great quality stamps and they still come with those awesome full-color indexes. The mini set, Branching Out Coordinates, will fit into a CD case or the TE mini binder boxes. I use the TE mini binder boxes and I love them! Here's a post from January showing my stamping area. In the last picture at the bottom of the post, you can see the white boxes and how nicely they fit on a shelf or in a cabinet.



The branch and sentiment in my card is from the Branching Out set. The swing is from the new mini set, Branching Out Coordinates. I wanted my swing to hang and have a little movement so I stamped two of them, cut out just the seats, and glued the two seats around two strands of hemp twine. We had a big tree swing at our old house and I miss it, so when I saw this stamp I knew it'd be the first one I reached for. It brings back some good ole' memories. {smile}

I added a second branch to the inside of the card....which I might add is TOTALLY fun to color!! I added Angel Wings Shimmerz to the branch and the leaves, both on the inside and outside of the card.
