Thanksgiving Card Trio

10:00 AM 1 Comments

Hello! I wanted to share a pretty little card trio I made using the Taylored Expressions set We Give Thanks. I think these would be pretty on a Thanksgiving table:) 

I stamped the sunflower image from the set with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. I cut it out and popped it up with Foam Tape. The sentiment was stamped onto a Banner Stacklets One Die. I used the TE Bracket Notecard Die for my base and embossed them with the TE Zig Zag Embossing Folder. The dp is Echo Park A Simple Life. Here's a close up:



That's it for me today:) Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Thursday!

Taylored Expressions October Release Day: You've Got Mail-Christmas!

10:00 AM 8 Comments

Hello! Today is Release Day at Taylored Expressions, which means that all of the new products are available NOW at the TE Store!

I have one final project to share with you today using the new stamp set You've Got Mail-Christmas. I love this sweet image:) It's so perfect for mailing out those Christmas cards! I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. I cut it out with a Rectangle Nestability and sponged around it with aqua ink. 

I added some Stickles to the snow for some shimmer and layered it over a green panel cut with Peapod cs and embossed with the TE Harlequin EF. The background was embossed with the new Snowfall EF. I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Bouquet stamp set onto a Label Stacklets 9 Die. Finally, I cut the bow using the TE Mix and Match Bows Dies and some Red Hot Taylored Felt. The dp is Gingerbread Lane.

Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks: You've Been Framed-Christmas and Mischief Maker Pilgrim

10:00 AM 6 Comments

Hello! It's Day 3 of peeks from Taylored Expressions! Tomorrow is release day and all of the products will be available at 7AM PST!

For my first peek today, I used the new You've Been Framed-Christmas Dies! These coordinate with the Test Tube Caddy Die that was released last month:) I just ADORE making these fun little gifts!

To start, I cut the Test Tube Caddies out of Chocolate Truffle, Peapod, Salt Water Taffy, and Cherry Pop cs. I embossed the back with the new Winter Flurry Embossing Folder and used the new Ice Border to add icicles to the top.



The large snowflake was cut with a die included in the Mitten Garland Die Set and I added a button to the center. I cut the frames with Peapod, Sugar Cube, Chocolate Truffle, and Salt Water Taffy cs then layered them over various Gingerbread Lane dp. I added some pearl and rhinestone accents.



Finally, I cut some tags using Tag Stacklets 1 Dies, and stamped the sentiment from Little Bits of Christmas. I then embossed the tags with the Lots of Dots Embossing Folder and sponged with green and aqua ink. I tied them on with some Red/White Baker's Twine.


Next up is this cutie, Mischief Maker-Pilgrim! I stamped her and the pumpkin with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. I then cut them out and popped them up over an oval cut out of Sugar Cube cs and embossed with the Zig Zag Embossing Folder. I used some Carta Bella A Perfect Autumn dp and the layout I used is the Deconstructed Sketch #170.
