You're TEERIFIC!

I am popping in today to share a few products from the new release at Taylored Expressions. It's the For Him Release. Father's Day is coming up and I know I never have enough masculine birthday cards in my stash. I have four son-in-laws! So I happy to have these new products in my craft room. But really the products are not just for the guys. I have a of female friends who love to golf, barbecue, and maybe have a beer! 

First up is a look at the golf themed products. I started by creating the golf cart using the Golf Cart Die. I used Bleu Cheese Cardstock with TE Silver Foil and Black Glossy Cardstock. Next I cut a piece of Peapod Cardstock for the card front and stamped the previously released Cork Background Stamp with Peapod Ink and die cut with the Par for the Course Cutting Plate. 

Next I used the Par for the Course Layering Stencil to create the grass, sand, and water. Then I layered the die cut card front over the stenciled background. Included in the Par for the Course Cutting Plate are the dies to add the flags and trees. 

The sentiment is from the Fore You Stamps Set and die cut with the Fore You Dies. 

My next card is for all the Grill Master's in our lives. I created the grill with the Hot off the Grill Dies.I love the details of the barbecue tools and mustard and ketchup bottles. There is another option for creating the grill with flames. 

To create the frame I stamped the Chill & Grill Background Stamp with Versamark Ink on Blueberry Cardstock and then embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. Then the used the A2 Layer Stacklets Die Set to cut out the middle of the frame and mat with Licorice Cardstock.  I stenciled on Sugar Cube Cardstock with the Set the Scene - Clouds Stencil Strips and the  Set the Scene Stencil Strips – Hills and added the background behind the grill. 

This sentiment is part of the Grill Master Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies.
