Cardmaking Inspiration from the Pick Your Pairings Release

Hey, Crafty Friend! One of the most special things about our Pick Your Pairings release is where the ideas begin… with you, our creative community!
These coordinating products were inspired by crafty friends who saw new possibilities in their favorite TE supplies and shared ideas to make them even more versatile. We love bringing those ideas to life and today, we’re excited to show you just how inspiring they can be in action!
Our talented design team has created a beautiful collection of projects to spark your creativity and help you see all the ways you can stretch your supplies with these new pairings. Whether you’re drawn to one pairing or many, there’s inspiration here for every style and every crafty mood.
And the creativity doesn’t stop here! Head over to the Fans of TE Facebook group to show some love to the crafty friends who suggested these ideas—you’ll see them sharing their own creations using the new products throughout the day!
Let’s take a look at the inspiration… ✨
