Any stamper out there knows what popularity cupcakes have taken on this past year and many have enjoyed participating in Taylor's Friday Cupcake Challenge for months - well she's ready to take the cupcake community by storm along with her illustrator Jessie Oleson [Cakespy] and I am so happy to be a part of this new venture with them & the rest of the Baker's Dozen Design Team! I've enjoyed all the sweet eye candy on her blog since Taylor revealed her to the team.
I'm having a ton of fun stamping with her stamps - wait till you see it all - the packaging, convenience, storage-wow! Three sets will be released tomorrow available for purchase exclusively at Taylored Expressions. They are deeply etched pink rubber already die cut & cling mounted ready for you to open your package & stamp to your heart's content the minute they arrive in your mailbox. That is exactly what I did for DAYS (because I cleared my commitment calendar) once my design team box arrived!
Taylor will also have available for purchase "Key Ingredients" for each stamp set which will include a selection of 6x6 patterned papers, 8 1/2" x 11" Prism cardstock, and coordinating embellishments (brads, ribbon, glitter). I used the Halloween Key Ingredients on these fun Halloween games I made. Be sure to see Taylor's blog for more info.
So onto my first sneak peek because I'm sure that's what you're here for. If you read my blog on a regular basis, you may recall my announcement last week that I'm going to CA to visit my sisters, BILS and niece & nephew for Halloween! My niece Gabby is 2 1/2 years old so I made her these 2 games we can play with while I'm there. A matching game and a tic tac toe game (I hope that won't be too hard for her, I remember teaching the game (on paper) to my friend's daughter when she was about 4 but Gabby is so smart she just may get it.
The Tic Tac Toe game is made on a Target $1 spot magnetic frame (so glad I got extras last year) which I covered with the Halloween key ingredients designer paper. The game pieces all have magnets on the back (I wonder if Gabby will still be calling them maggots when I give them to her like she did in May-HA).
The matching game has all the images in the 'Trick or Sweet' set, 2 of each all colored and stamped on the back with 'Gabby's Halloween Cupcake Matching Game' which I used my JustRite Stampers small alphabet set on wooden stamper for. I stamped the small black cat from the 'Frightful Night' set in the centers. You can get the monogram stamper at Taylored Expressions when you shop for your new stuff! All of the game pieces fit in the tin and below, you can see easy storage behind the frame because I put a magnet on the back of it too.
Today the Rotating Design Team are revealed & have sneaks peeks to share!!
All the sets & key ingredients will be available for purchase Midnight (EST) Friday, Sept. 5th.
