Taylored Expressions January Spotlights: Oh What a Holiday and Bless Your Nest!


Hello!  Today I get to share a few projects that I made with two of the new stamp sets from Taylored Expressions called Oh What a Holiday and Bless Your Nest!  I'm sure you can guess which one is up first:) 

 I had a BLAST making all these fun notecards using the new 3x3 Tuck and Close Notecard Die and this super CUTE Oh What a Holiday stamp set!!!  Here is a close up of each card:








I also made a little box to fit them all in:)  I decorated the top with some Authentique Lively dp and one of the new Designer Mini Tags stamped with a sentiment from the Taylored Expressions set Happy Trails!  The ribbon is from the Love Letters Project Pantry Kit!


I thought this would be a nice gift to have on hand:)  Next up is the darling set Bless Your Nest along with the coordinating Bless Your Nest Dies!


I just love this gorgeous tree branch that comes with the set, and the two birdies are so sweet!  There are also several nests that you can use, but I chose to use the nest die, cut it in half, and layer the two halves on top of each other.  Perfect! 

I nestled the little bird that I cut with the die inside and added one of the 5 beautiful sentiments that come with the set.  Isn't that font awesome!  Here's a close up:


The border was cut with the gorgeous Lace Chain Border Die and I added some pearls and stitching.  The layout is MFTWSC104.  

Make sure you check out the rest of the Baker's Dozen Blogs for more spotlights today!  Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy your Wednesday!
