TE Sneak Peeks: Holiday Joy!

10:00 AM 2 Comments

Hello! It's Day 2 of sneak peeks from Taylored Expressions! All of the new products will be available Thursday, October 6th at 7AM PST!

For my first project today, I used the new Holiday Florals Stamp Set along with the new Holiday Florals Coordinating Dies. I used Granny Smith, Cherry Pop, Mulled Wine, and Peapod Ink to stamp my flower and leaves and then cut them out with the coordinating dies. I arranged them and popped them up over a panel cut with a Stitched Bracket Stacklets Die

The background was stamped with the new Woodgrain Background Stamp using Toffee Ink onto some Toffee cs. I cut it out with a Stitched Rectangle Stacklet Die. I used a strip of Playful Patterns-Holiday dp along the bottom and stamped a sentiment from the Holiday Florals set onto a banner cut with a Stitched Banner Stacklets Die. Finally, I added a few Snow Flurries Sequins.






For my next project, I used the beautiful O Holy Night Stamp Set:


I heat embossed the stained glass window using some Zing! Black Opaque Embossing Powder, then water colored the image with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I cut it out with a Label Stacklets 5 Die and added the little nativity that I cut out using the new Little Bits Nativity Die

I created a scene using a Build a Scene Rolling Hills Die along with some Potato Chip cs, and layered that over a Plum Punch background cut out with the Starry Night Cutting Plate. Finally, I added the "Noel" using the beautiful new Noel Script Die and some Blue Corn cs


Here is a complete supply list:

TE Sneak Peeks: Santa Auditions and Crafty Points Giveaway!

10:00 AM 6 Comments

Hello! It's Day 1 of Sneak Peeks from Taylored Expressions, and this month is all about Holiday crafting! The new products will be available on Thursday, October 6th at 7AM PST!

For my first card today, I used the adorable new stamp set Santa's Helpers. One of the sentiments in the set is "Santa Auditions", so I decided to create a little stage for these cuties using the Center Stage Cutting Plate Dies along with some dp from the Playful Patterns-Holiday 6x6 Paper Pack. The floor of the stage was created using some Toffee cs and the fab new Woodgrain Background Stamp

I stamped my Santa hopefuls using Oreo Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I then cut them out with the coordinating Santa's Helpers Dies and popped them up with foam tape over my scene. The white bg was embossed with the new Plaid Embossing Folder and the sentiment was cut out with a Stitched Banner Stacklets Die. Here's a close up:


So cute! 

For my next card I used another adorable set that was previously released called Deck the Halls along with the new coordinating Deck the Halls Dies!

 

I stamped my images with Oreo Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I cut them out with the new dies and popped them up over oval panels cut with the new Stitched Oval Stacklets Dies. I embossed the Toffee oval with the new Twinkling Holiday Embossing Folder and added some ribbon and sequins from the new Snow Flurries Sequins. The sentiment was cut out with a Stitched Banner Stacklets Die once again and the dp is more Playful Patterns-Holiday.
