Taylored Expressions / Holiday Release

Welcome to the Taylored Expressions Holiday Release!
There are so many amazing new products that are available today along with a new FREE gift with purchase promotion (see below)!

There is a new Create In Quad called Deck the Halls releasing that will give you SO many elements to make your holiday cards this year!  

I've worked with the bells but I have many others to share soon!  I used Sour Gummy, Salt Water, Toffee and Oyster inks for the quad colors.  Once the Oyster layer was done, Happy Medium Iridescent Glitter Paste was applied over this same layer.  The result is gorgeous glittery bells!

The new I added the bells to backgrounds dry embossed using the Make a Snowflake dies.  It adds just the right amount of texture!  Different die cut frames were added in Sour Gummy cardstock.  Tiny bows from the new Little Bits: Mini Bows were added to the the tops of the bells.  The sentiments were done using the Foil Its: Jingle All The Way and silver foil.  Silver Glitter Drops were added over the panels for embellishments.

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

While supplies last, when you place and order of $200+ you will receive the All Together - Occasions 3 Stamp & Die Combo set FREE. It's the perfect collection of holiday sentiments that you can stamp in one impression and die cut with one pass through your die cut machine - perfect for holiday card making mass production! Offer valid while supplies last.

Avery Elle / Santa Tags

Hello!

Amy here and I'm so excited to share the most adorable new tag called Santa Tags.  

These tags were SO easy to put together quickly using cardstock scraps, Copics, and some white pigment accents!  The nose and eyes were done using the center of the eyelet die.  It's the perfect size!  So many cute sentiments to add to the Santa's beard.  For the actual "tag" part, separate white tags were die cut and stamped with "to/from" and "love, Santa".  

Supplies:

Taylored Expressions / New Colors!

There is more celebration going on at Taylored Expressions this month with NEW colors!  Warm, fall COLORS!

Welcome to Jalapeno, Huckleberry, Cinnamon, and Sour Gummy!

I decided to use the new colors of cardstock along with the recently released Garden Variety: Fall.  I chose one of the leaves and die cut them with the new colors along with Toffee and Raspberry Sorbet.  The leaves were layered in a wreath fashion over a Buttercream panel adding in some acorns.

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

Next up, is a trio of cards using the new colors of ink along with the Triple Slim: In the Garden collection of stencils.

I have shared My True Colors scheme for my trio in the photo above.  These new colors are rich and divine!  My stenciling is done using the colors in a gradient fashion and not using a darker shade to highlight!

These were so much fun to stencil!!!

Taylored Expressions / 15th Birthday Celebration!!

Welcome to the Taylored Expressions 15th Birthday Celebration!!
We have SO much fun going on this month!

Better yet----several promotions for this celebration too!

Let's get started with this FABULOUS new QUAD stencil set that literally sent me all the retro vibes!  It's called Totally Rad!

These colors "totally" bring me back to my high school school days!  The photo above features 3 of the quads you can stencil and 2 of them have coordinating dies to cut out the stenciled images.  

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

Next up, is the adorable GNOME Alone - Birthday set.  It features many of the ionic images for birthday....balloon, present, party hat, and cupcake.  

I've featured the gnome using one of the new Foil-It Panels Birthday Backgrounds.  BUT it was foiled using the NEW Holographic Silver Glitter Foil from Taylored Expressions!  That's right.......our own foil!  The sentiment shown is from the new Simple Stripes - For the Gnomies.

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

Last but not least......the new kits for this month!  I'm sharing the Magic Cardmaking Kit but there is also the Dino-Mite Cardmaking Kit too.

I stenciled just one panel and made 2 cards!  The background was cut at an angle and was broken up by using 2 of the Foil-It Panels included in the it.  They were foiled using Champagne Foil and die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets.  The unicorn stamping was done with Versamark and gold embossing powder and ties in with the gold foiled sentiment panel.

Avery Elle / Beary & Bright

Hello!

I am here with an adorable mini set called Beary & Bright from Avery Elle.  The cutest detail is that the bear can hold some of the images!

I colored the bear with some cool colors for a wintery card.  I paired the Starburst Oval Elle-ments with a piece of patterned paper from the Holiday Collection Paper Pad which has a light blue background with snowflakes.  After adhering my glittery hills to the backside of the oval frame, the bear, present and frame were added with foam adhesive for dimension.

Supplies:

Avery Elle / Wreath Tag

Hello!

I am here with some elegant tags for the upcoming season using the Wreath Tag and Sentiments from Avery Elle.

I wanted to create some tags that were easy to make but still classy!  For the tags, the wreaths were die cut from green and white cardstock.  To the full circle die cuts, the sentiment, from Wreath Tag Sentiments, was stamped in bold black ink.  Once the wreath die cut was adhered to the circle, I used Versamark ink along the edges of the circle and gold heat embossed the perimeter!  I adhered the die cut ornament hanger and a bow die from Pierced Rounded Frames Elle-ments.  For the finishing touches, red baker's twine and some gold gems were added.

Supplies:

Taylored Expressions / Petal Prints Kit

Hello!

If you have seen the sneak peek for the newest Taylored Expressions Kit called Petal Prints.......are you in love?  

Let me say that it was so much fun to create with the kit and additional products!

The possibilities for this kit are endless especially if you decide on the add-ons!  This one uses the Petal Prints Patterns gold heat embossed, ink blended, and die cut.  Once assembled, the blooms were arranged inside a foam adhered frame from Frame in Frame Cutting Plate.  Sentiment is from Building Blocks - Be Bright.

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

My second card uses the Petal Prints stamp set onto a white card and ink blended with the coordinating stencils from the kit.  Once the panel was done, the same Frame in Frame Cutting Plate was used but as an IMPRESSION plate to impress the frame into the inked floral design.  Love using my dies like this!  Sentiment is from Building Blocks - Be Bright.

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

My last card uses one of the additional products you can purchase separately.......Foil-It Petal Prints.  I foiled it in gold foil with my Mini Minc and ink blended the blooms with the layered stencils from the kit.  This design was stepped up with some additional stenciling with clouds and ink blending some grass.  The layers were die cut using some basic stacklets from Taylored Expressions.

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

Here are all three of my cards together using the same color scheme but different layouts and products.

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