Taylored Expressions / Bear Hugs Cardmaking Kit

 

There is a new adorable kit available today called Bear Hugs from Taylored Expressions.  There are stamps, dies, stencils, envelope seals, and sentiments!

This month we have a "Bear Hugs Bundle" for all of you that "want it all"!  

(see below for details)

While I enjoy coloring, I decided to use the coordinating stencils that you can ink blend to add color to your stamped bear images!  

My background is a portion of 2 things......the Favorite Sweater Embossing Folder and one of the Foil It Backgrounds.  I paired that with a white heat embossed sentiment strip.

************************

These next bears are my favorite!  Look at them!  

I again used the stencils to add color along with a white pigment pen for polka dot details.  Some pink snowy hills were added over the Tiny Twinkles Embossing Folder done in Pink Champagne cardstock.

Taylored Expressions / All the Trimmings

Welcome to the Christmas Gifting Release from Taylored Expressions!

The team is back this week with ideas for gifting and sending!

Gingerbread Lane is a set that comes with adorable little houses and with the die set, complimentary icons to embellish!  

After the houses were white heat embossed, they were colored in with Copics.....no shading, just coloring.  Once they were colored, they were die cut and embellished and glitter added.  I made these into tags using the Sundry Sentiments Stamp Set--Holiday.

********************

Next up, is a new set called Arch Noel but works with the dies from the previously released, Arch Nouveau.  

The focal image was gold heat embossed onto Cherry Pop Cardstock, die cut, and layered onto gold cardstock.  This was layered over a new Tag Die called Tag Stacklets 5 (I simply cut off the tag portion).  A matching gold embossed greeting from Sundry Sentiments Stamp Set--Holiday was nestled below.  

I finished this off by adding in my focal image to notecard die cut using the Arched Stacklets for a rounded card.  A simple Plaid Background stamped in Versamark for the background.  Simple embellishments using the Gold Glitter Drops.

Taylored Expressions / Shades of Fall Release

Welcome to the Shades of Fall release from Taylored Expressions!

We all love new colors when it comes to papercrafting.  These new colors will fit in the lineup perfectly filling in some shades we are missing!

I wanted to highlight this fabulous new Hot Fudge and Sweet Corn colors using the Coneflowers die set.  

Once the Coneflowers were die cut from cardstock (Sweet Corn, Green Tea, Dragon Fruit, Candy Corn, and Hot Fudge) they were ink blended to add depth and dimension.  The ink colors used to blend were Latte (new), Eggplant, Sweet Potato Pie, and Brussels Sprouts.  The flowers were layered over an ink blended background die cut using the Pierced Grid Cutting Plate.  This panel was matted with a Hot Fudge panel.  Sentiment is from the Foil It - Simple Strips Occasions.

*****************

My second card highlighting these new colors uses Create-in-Quads Ever In Bloom.  This is one of my favorite quad stencils from TE!!!

The blooms were ink blended with Sweet Corn, Latte, Hot Fudge, Peapod, Eggplant, Peaches 'n Cream, and Brussels Sprouts.  The images and background were ink splattered with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.  The Hello die was framed with the corner floral sprays that were hand trimmed along the corner edges.
