Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Background

There’s been a lot of buzz about the new Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Background, and I completely understand why. When I first got my hands on this stamp, I was thrilled! This stamp and coordinating die has made making sentiment strips a breeze. I put together a set of cards using heat-embossed strips over stenciled backgrounds.

I made watercolored backgrounds using TE liquid watercolors and TE watercolor card stock. I added a drop of color onto my Waffle Flower Water Media Mat, sprayed it with water, and smooshed the paper into the pigment.

I picked three different TE stencils, sprayed the backs with iCraft Pixie Spray for a temporary hold, and attached them to the dried watercolor panels. I used a pallet knife to spread a thin, even layer of Moonstone Glitter Paste over the stencil. I put the panels aside to dry.

To assemble the cards, I used foam adhesive to attach the trimmed panels to Sugar Cube card stock, then adhered them with double-sided adhesive to Toffee card bases. I die-cut three hearts and added them to the cards with thin foam squares. My final step was adding the sentiment strips.
