Today it’s all about snow! Yes, it’s only October, but it’s not too soon to start holiday-themed cards! Welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions October Sneak Peeks. This release is packed with supplies guaranteed to put you in the holiday mood. I’m sharing two cards and a giveaway opportunity (you’ll have to scroll to the end to learn more about that!). Mark your calendar – October products will be released Thursday, October 6 @ 7 AM PST!
I first want to show you a winter-themed scene created with the Do You Wanna Build a Snowman? die.
I placed the Do You Wanna Build a Snowman? silhouette into an oval frame, cut with a die in the Stitched Oval Stacklets set from paper in the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Holiday. The patterned paper background is from the same paper pack. For visual interest, I adhered TE Sequins – Snow Flurries to the background and added a top hat for the snowman, (cut with the Do You Wanna Build a Snowman? silhouette and trimmed). The heat-embossed sentiment is from the Ornamental set. This isn’t my usual color palette, but there is something about these colors that feels nostalgic to me, which I feel suits the silhouette scene.

My second project showcases the Snowman Shaker die set. This guy is such a ham!
I created the background with the Snow Day Background stamped with TE Premium White Pigment Ink. I cut the snowman from both cardstock (it is a metallic white included in the TE Premium Cardstock – Metallic Neutrals set) and foam, sandwiching a piece of Clear Plastic Sheets between the cardstock and foam into which I put the TE Sequins – Snow Flurries. To finish off the card, I added a heat-embossed sentiment from Ornamental.
