I have FOUR cards to share today using some of the products from this release.

Bitty Bouquets has expanded and now has more stencil options.....I've used Bonus Blooms 2 with the colors of Bubblegum, Gumball, Banana Cream Pie, and Green Tea inks.  Sentiment is from the new Mini to Mighty Stamp Set Occasions.  Background was die cut using the Talking in Circles Piercing Plate.

Now......there are Foil Its for the Winter Wonder stencil set!  I've used this set along with the ink colors Pink Champagne, Rose Water, and Bleu Cheese inks.  I've added them to the new Petite Scallop Arch Nouveau Die Set.  The arched layers were added to a card that was layered with a white panel done using the Favorite Sweater Embossing Folder.  Foiled sentiment is from Foil It Simple Strips Occasions.

Timeless Blooms Create in Quads is one of my favorites EVER.  I've used one of the panels done in Mulled Wine, Jujube, Pink Champagne, Spearmint, Jalapeno, and Brussels Sprout inks.  This panel was die cut using the Quilted Cutting Plate Die. The frame from Frame in Frame 3 Cutting Plate was done in Jalapeno cardstock.  Sentiment is from Simple Strips Friendship 2 along with the Scallop Edge Simple Strips Die.

Lastly, I created a simple project using the Giftables - Treat Tub Die Set.  Using Pink Champagne cardstock, the die was used twice to create 2 panels.  The panels were stamped with the Pixie Dust background stamp in Pink Champagne ink.  A sentiment from Snack Attack Stamp Set was stamped onto a small tag die from Tag Stacklets 4 and attached to my treat tub using Burlap Twine.

On my card, the plane can slide down through the clouds using the On The Right Track - Spinners and Sliders.  Clouds were stenciled using the Clouds Stencil Strips and Salt Water Taffy ink and the panel was die cut using the Arched Stacklets.  The panel was attached to a card textured with the Fanfare Cutting Plate.

Hope you had a chance to relax, celebrate, and enjoy time with your favorite people over the holidays. We are officially in the new year and I am excited to kick things off with Taylored Expressions first release! Valentine's Day is always a big one! 

My first project uses my favorite product from the release.....Sweet Talk Bundle.

This is a die based bundle with stamp set.  I've paired my chocolates with the new Full Heart Stacklets and Petite Scallop Heart Stacklets to create my own box of chocolates.  Colors used:  Cherry Pop, Toffee, Hot Fudge, Sugar Cube.  I added my box of chocolates to a white panel embossed with the Lots of Love Embossing Folder.  I finished the card with a white embossed sentiment on Hot Fudge cardstock and added glitter glue to the chocolates.

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

Next up, is an addition to the popular Postmarked collection called......Postmarked - With Love.  

Using the stencils, I created my postmarked images with Tiki Mule, Royal Icing, Bubblegum and Fruit Punch inks.  After die cutting, they were arranged on a A2 Large Scallop Stacklets that was die cut using the Diagonal Stitched Rectangle Stacklets.  My scallop panel was added to an embossed background done with the Sketched Hearts Embossing Folder.  Don't even get me started on that cute sentiment!!  ☺

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

My last project uses the Heart to Heart Bundle.

Using some traditional Valentine colors of Cherry Pop and Pink Champagne this time.  The background was done using a new background stamp that is an exclusive gift with purchase for this release!  Using the Squiggle Stacklets, I created a collage of hearts using the Heart to Heart stamps and dies.  I added in lots of the hearts that were white heat embossed.  The sentiment is from a new fun set called Mini to Mighty - Valentine.

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

I have a few projects to share using some of the Cute Combos releasing today!

The first one is the adorable Turtle-y Awesome.

I created a backdrop for my turtle using the Rainbow Bright 3 Die using Blue Corn, Blueberry, and Bleu Cheese Cardstocks.  My turtle was white heat embossed onto PeaPod Cardstock and then outlined with a Copic marker for depth (fun way of coloring without all the fuss).  My panel was added to an Oatmilk Cardstock panel that was die cut using the Fanfare Cutting Plate.

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

Next up, is the Smiley Squad and all their happiness!

I stamped the smiley faces in Lollipop, Candy Corn, Mango, Lime Zest, Confetti Cake, and Macaron inks.  They were die cut out and faces stamped.  They were added to a Swiss Dots embossed panel that was also layered with the Rainbow Bright 2 Die.  I added a party hat and sentiment from Birthday Bash.

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

Here we go.......Fast Track is perfect for those fast racers on your list!

I created a Mini Slim card using the Mini Slim Wavy Stripe Cutting Plate Die.

The cars were stamped in Cherry Pop and Wintergreen inks and die cut.  They were added to the mini slim card panel with foam adhesive.  The finish line flags were added along with a white heat embossed sentiment and some Holographic Stars.

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

Lastly, is a set that I can not wait to use more!  I love the postage trend and don't see it going anywhere soon!  Using the new Air Mail set, I've embellished a stenciled panel from Create in Quads Layering Stencil Snowflakes.  The panel was stenciled with Tiki Mule, Sour Gummy, and Blue Corn inks.  A layer of vellum was added to soften the background so JOY could be added using the Stitched Alpha Die Set.  For just a bit of sparkle, Silver Glitter Drops were added over the panel.
