Welcome Spring! – Taylored Expressions Feb 2017 Release Sneak Peeks Day One

Hello! Welcome to Day One of the Taylored Expressions February Sneak Peeks. This release is all about Easter and Spring! (As I write, there is snow falling outside and a winter weather advisory in effect – I’m ready for some warmer weather!) The products we are sneaking will be released Thursday, February 9 @ 7 AM PST!

My first card is a watercolored panel stamped with the Bloomin’ Background and a sentiment from Simply Said – Spring.

TE Feb 2017 Release

I stamped the background and sentiment on TE Premium Watercolor Cardstock and colored the image with watercolors in the Kuretake Gansai Tambi – 24 set. It was so relaxing to color in this image and I look forward to a change of seasons!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays – I like the holiday’s motifs and colors. This Easter card showcases the Skinny Mini Spring Borders.

TE February 2017 Release

This card uses a variety of Taylored Expressions dies. I created the sentiment with Easter Wishes Banner, part of the February 2017 release, and the Happy Summer Banner. I added Enamel Shapes to the bunny and flower borders. Be sure to check out the promotion for the Enamel Shapes included below.

Penny Black Simplicity – Be Mine

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS Valentine created with the Penny Black die set 51-180 All My Hearts.

PB Simplicity Be Mine

I used the die set, which includes five detailed hearts and a solid heart, to cut the hearts from a variety of color cardstock. I adhered the overlays to the solid hearts with liquid adhesive and attached the assembled hearts to colored cardstock squares with foam adhesive.

I’m also over on the Penny Black Simplicity blog today with another die-cut Valentine! Hope you’ll head on over and take a look!

Lawn Fawn – Snow Day

Hello from the cold Pacific Northwest! I’m sharing a CAS winter-themed Valentine created with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.

Lawn Fawn Snow Day

I stamped and colored the adorable bunnies from Snow Day and paired them with a snowy tree-lined hill cut with the Forest Border die. The background patterned paper from Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Christmas is intended for the Christmas holiday but still works for Valentine’s Day!

PB Simplicity – Let It Snow

Hello! Today I’m sharing a CAS winter card created with Penny Black supplies. Even though these products were intended for holiday card making, I’m enjoying creating winter-themed cards that aren’t specifically Christmas-y.

PB Simplicity Snow Mice

I stamped the sledding mice image from 30-385 Santa’s Helpers on watercolor paper and colored it with watercolor pencils and watercolor paint. For the sentiment, I used the 51-082 Snow Wishes die to cut watercolor paper twice. I trimmed the top part of the sentiment (which says “Let it” away on both die cuts and glued them together for extra depth.

I hope you’ll head over to the Penny Black Simplicity blog where I have another winter-themed card also using the 51-082 Snow Wishes die.
