It’s Our 11th Birthday! Let’s party!
Hey, crafty friends! We’re gonna keep the party going today with more inspiration as we celebrate our 11th birthday at Taylored Expressions! Yesterday we released a collection of birthday-themed new products including the focus of today’s video. I’ll give you a hint… he’s big and he’s grumpy… he’s Big Grumpy!
Before I move on to today’s project, I want to make sure you’ve seen the special gifts we’re offering during our birthday celebration:
- Receive a free Share Joy enamel pin with every purchase of new release products (while supplies last)
- Free U.S. shipping for orders of $50 or more!
- Orders of $75 or more will be entered to win 1 of 11 gift certificates to the TE webstore: ten $50 gift certificates, one $100 gift certificate!
Offers valid 9/10 – 9/22 and while supplies last. Gift certificate winners will be announced on the TE blog on 9/23.
As I said above, Big Grumpy is going to help me keep the party alive today (in his true grumpy fashion, he didn’t want to cooperate so I had to bribe him a bit).
Here’s a look at the card and you can check out my process video to see how quickly it came together:
The front of the gatefold card came together quickly by inking the Backstory – Birthday background with a rainbow of mini ink cubes. I started with a piece of Sugar Cube cardstock sized 4″ x 5.25″ and after stamping the background, I cut the piece in half at 2″ to create two equally sized pieces for each gatefold flap. Once that was finished I colored Big Grumpy and assembled my belly band element to hold the gatefold card closed.
Here’s a look at the finished inside of my card with the cheeky sentiment reveal created with the help of the Gatefold Reveal die set. I added the Happy Birthday sentiment from friendly phrases and presents tone on tone presents from the Birthday Basics clear set to the bottom of the center reveal panel.
All the new products are available for purchase right now so head on over and break in our brand-spankin’ new website!
