Taylored Expressions / O Christmas Tree Cardmaking Kit

July flew right by! 
It's time for another cardmaking kit from Taylored Expressions.  It is a cute Christmas themed kit called 'O Christmas Tree' and is available NOW!

****Shop Taylored Expressions**** 

This first card features the main tree image done in Poblano Pepper, Confetti Cake, and Hot Fudge inks.  The stencil used has a 3rd layer that was used to add Happy Medium-Iridescent Glitter.  The snowflake background was stamped in Pink Champagne ink and then stamped again with Versamark.  The snowflakes were then heat embossed with clear embossing powder for a fun shine.  A single pink present was tucked under the tree along with a white heat embossed split sentiment from a new Mini Strips Holiday 2 set in a new font!

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

 My second card also features the tree as the main image but done in Pink Champagne, Raspberry Sorbet, Mulled Wine, and Hot Fudge inks.  Over the 3rd layer of the stencil the same Happy Medium-Iridescent Glitter was added (this time over the Mulled Wine color).  The tree and adorable presents were added over a background done with the Burlap Embossing Folder.  The white heat embossed sentiment is from the new Mini Strips Holiday 2 sentiment set.  Did you see the adorable little birdie sitting in the tree???  It's a new die set called Winter Birds and is just so SWEET!!!!

The first project I have to share is a card using the All Planned Out 3 die collection.  I love these types of dies because it plans our your card layout easily and you can adjust it too!  I used the Bits & Blooms stamps and coordinating dies for this card.  My color combination is Dragonfruit, Tropical Punch, Concord Grape, Granny Smith, and Cupcake inks.  Lots of dimension here with foam adhesive along with black gemstones.

My second card uses the Artsy Hearts Foil It Panel.  Mine was done using Rainbow Stars & Sparkle Fun Foil and the Mini Minc.  I added tiny die cut hearts in rainbow colors to the centers.  Adding in the big Hugs sentiment die along with a sentiment strip from Mini Strips Hello Add-Ons.

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

My last card uses the Bold Beams Stencil along with the Bold Beams Cutting Plate.  My fun color stenciled combination includes Cherry Pop, Pumpkin, Sweet Corn, Candy Corn, and Tropical Punch inks.  I added in the Mega Messages Hey There die for a pop in the center!  To finish, I added coordinating enamel dots.

Thanks for joining me today for the Second Chance Release from Taylored Expressions!
