Taylored Expressions: Talking in Circles!

There is a new and fabulous kit over at Taylored Expressions today!  It’s called Talking in Circles and it is definitely an all time kit fave! I could craft for days with this one! Be sure to check it all out at Taylored Expressions! The Creative Team is sure to have a boatload of inspiration!

Hence–let’s get started with things in full circle! The full circles and the quarter pieces kind of remind me of the Trivial Pursuit game pieces. 😂

I die cut a boatload of pieces because I wanted to  tinker around and have everything ready to do. You can easily organize your pieces in the TE Simple Storage for Tiny Things. The pieces don’t all go flying around. I arranged mine by color and combined multiple die cuts. I’ll add my Alpha die cuts in too when I get those sorted, some rainy day. I’d recommend getting the TE Simple Storage for Tiny Things and then doing the die cutting. 🤭

Of course, I had to stitch them and I used the previously released Pierced Grid Cutting Plate. If you like this plate, you should definitely check out the new cutting plate called Talking in Circles Piercing Plate.

Gah! I love how this card turned out. Such a fun color explosion!

Next up, I used one of the TE Maps – Talking in Circles – Mini Slim Sugar Cube and made this one. The best part is all the color combos you can use! Get out your collection of color inspiration you’ve saved up!

The sentiment is from Mix & Match For Him and the simplicity is perfection. This one is Guava, Candy Corn, Pink Champagne, Spearmint and Blueberry.

One of my favorite parts might be stitching these cards. They are really the perfect thing for stitching, in my opinion. 😁

The maps make super quick work of anything you want to create!

Lastly, I woke up one day and thought–oohhhhh The Very Hungry Caterpillar! I wonder if I can make a card with him on it? So I went for it. 🙂 He is a little abstract and far from perfect, but super fun!

Image

This was a crack up to make! His parts are pieces were fun to search for too in my stash. The feet are Little Bits – Shamrocks, the eyes are the inside pieces of the Cap It Off Alpha, the nose is the tip of the pencil and the antlers are the paint brush–both from Crafty Tools of the Trade.
Image

I couldn’t decide which sentiment to use, but in the end, I chose the You Grow Girl from the Shelf Control set. I think s/he is a trip! 😋
