My first card features the fanciful Dreamer Stamp & Die Combo.

I stamped and Copic-colored the images, pairing them with a background dry-embossed with the Kaleidoscope embossing folder and a foreground created with Build a Scene – Rolling Clouds.

The January release also includes a new background stamp – Cloud Nine – which I know I’ll be reaching for again and again!

TE Jan 2017 Release

I stamped the background with Sugar Cube ink and added a variety of TE die-cuts, cut with Build a Scene die sets and Sky High – Hot Air Balloons to create a summer scene.

Hello & Wish Big! – Taylored Expressions January 2017 Release

Hello! Welcome to Day One of the Taylored Expressions January Sneak Peeks. Mark your calendar, the January products will be released Thursday, January 12 @ 7 AM PST!

Both of my cards today feature new Stamp & Die Combo sets. Let’s start with a happy and bright “Hello” featuring the Bloomin’ Birthday Stamp & Die Combo.

I paired the stamped flowers and sentiment with a few die cut elements. The stems were stamped directly on the card base. I staggered the stems for visual interest. The Grass Border adds color and texture.

For my second project, I’m sharing a birthday card created with the Wish Big Stamp & Die Combo.

TE Jan 2017 Release

I stamped the balloon strings and the “BiG” part of the sentiment directly on the card base. I cut the stamped balloons with the Party Time die set. The “wish” was stamped and colored with Copic markers, then cut with its companion die. To finish off the card, I added a frame and stars cut from silver cardstock in the Metallic Neutrals pack.

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!

Happy New Year and a big welcome to 2017! I’m sharing a card created with Taylored Expressions dies.

I’ve just read on a blog post by Melissa Michaels of The Inspired Room that one’s front door tells a story. With that in mind, here’s the front door of a happy home! (Right now it’s cold and snowy here in the Pacific Northwest, but I’m thinking about a sunnier day!)

TE Welcome 2017

For my scene, I combined a number of the die sets in the Door to Door collection.

Avery Elle – Winter Hello

Hello. Today, I’m sharing a winter-themed hello created with Avery Elle supplies.

AE Winter Hello

I’m still embracing my seasonal supplies, such as the Falling Snow die and Penguin Greetings stamp set, and trying to find ways to use them for non-Christmas projects. I stamped the penguins and paper-pieced their clothing. I chose bright colors for their sweaters in colors other than green and red!
