Charmaine Ikach
Charmaine’s Notes: I loved using the Be Different Collection with the Sack It To You and Sack It: Monster Dies from Taylored Expressions. They worked perfectly together to create an adorable gift for a child’s birthday, or even party favors! The fun colors in the collection are great for any occasion really. . .even if I didn’t decide to go with the “monster” theme.




Charmaine’s Notes: The papers and elements in the Nautical Collection just screamed summer to me! There were so many TE sets that would have worked with this collection, but I decided on the Mischief Maker At the Beach set from the latest release. The little girl image worked perfectly with the summery scene I created. The new Little Bits Dies added even more adorable accents to the card. I think the Sand Castle and Umbrella look like they could have come right from the Nautical Collection from Fancy Pants! I really enjoyed using both Fancy Pants Collections with my Taylored Expressions products. I didn’t have to think too hard to come up with something because pairing the two help the creativity flow!!

Shannon’s Notes: I just loved the beautiful colors and vibe of the As You Wish Patterned Papers!! I just knew they’d be perfect for a beautiful and feminine gift set and would pair just wonderfully with TE’s Scribbles Cutting Plate and Notable Blooms stamp set! Not to mention I had been really wanting to create a pretty gift bag with my We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board too!
Shannon’s Notes: The FUN Nautical Patterned Papers just scream Summer!! So I couldn’t resist pairing them up with TE’s Big Bold Summer and whipping up a couple more fun summery bookmarks just perfect for a lazy day at the beach!
