Watercolored Calendar Pages

Hello! Last week, I shared some of the pages of my 2017 calendar created with some of the Taylored Expressions November 2016 release products. Today, I’m sharing pages for November and December in which I’ve included the 3×4 Watercolor Panels – Calendar.

I like to craft seasonally and enjoyed working on the November and December pages now, even though they’re for next year.

After the watercolored pages dried, I added frames cut with the die in the Build a Scene – Calendar – 5×7 set and adhered them to the calendar pages in the 2017 5×7 Calendar.

Have a Sunny Day!

Hello. Welcome to the Taylored Expressions November 2016 Release! All of the products that we have been sharing this week are now available in the TE store!

Before you head off to shop, I’m sharing a card created with the new Flowers for a Year stamps and Flowers for a Year Dies.

TE November 2016 Release

I stamped and Copic-colored the floral images and cut them with their corresponding dies. While the Flowers for a Year images are designed to coordinate with the just released Build a Scene – Calendar 2 die set, I decided to pair several bouquets with one of the Picture Perfect – Sunny Days frames.

Make It Personal – Holiday Table Settings + Home Decor

Hello! It’s Day Three of the Taylored Expressions November Sneak Peeks. With the holidays just around the corner, this month’s release features products designed for creating handmade home decor! The November products will be released tomorrow – Thursday, November 3 @ 7 AM PST!

Today, I’m sharing several personalized items for the home featuring the Initially dies. First up, personalized napkin rings for the holidays. I created Thanksgiving and Christmas napkin rings with our family’s initials and the Napkin Ring die set.

TE November 2016 Release

For my Thanksgiving table setting, I combined papers from the Playful Patterns – Harvest collection with a woodgrain paper (Woodgrain Textured Cardstock Pack) and initials cut from matching cardstock.

Different holiday? No problem! For my Christmas table setting, I used papers from the Playful Patterns – Holiday collection with a white woodgrain (Woodgrain Textured Cardstock Pack) for the initials.

I also used the Initially dies to create a holiday home decor piece. The Initially die sets include large uppercase, small lowercase, and small uppercase letters. I used the large uppercase for this project.

TE November 2016 Release

I cut the letters four times each and adhered them for extra depth. The letters are adhered to a piece of 12″ x 12″ scrapbook paper in a shadow box frame. Super easy!

“From the Desk of”: Introducing TE Initially Dies

Hello! Welcome to Day Two of the Taylored Expressions November Sneak Peeks. With the holidays just around the corner, this month’s release features products designed for creating handmade gifts! The November products will be released Thursday, November 3 @ 7 AM PST!

Today, I’m sharing a personalized notecard set featuring the Garden Party Background stamp and the Initially dies.

TE November 2016 Release

I put the Garden Party Background stamp on my MISTI – Precision Stamping Tool and stamped away with the TE Inks! The stamp’s circular opening is perfectly sized for the Noteworthy stamp set. (I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig imaging plate on my MISTI to align the stamp.) I added matching die-cut monograms to the stamped circles. The Initially die sets include large uppercase, small lowercase, and small uppercase letters.

TE November 2016 Release

The Noteworthy stamp set also works inside the circle of the Noteworthy Belly Band. The Noteworthy sentiments can be used to decorate the outside of a clear card box, packaging a set of monogrammed notecards (and envelopes).

Make 2017 Fun! – TE Build a Scene Calendar

Hello (and Happy Halloween)! Welcome to Day One of the Taylored Expressions November Sneak Peeks. With the winter holidays just around the corner, this month’s release features products designed for creating handmade gifts! The November products will be released Thursday, November 3 @ 7 AM PST!

Today, I’m sharing several themed pages from my 2017 5″ x 7″ calendar, as well as gifting and display options for the pages. By personalizing a calendar, I can create cheerful and meaningful scenes to mark the days in 2017!

TE November 2016 Release

I used the Build a Scene – Calendar – 5×7 die set along with the 2017 5×7 Calendar to create the pages.

For January, I added Copic-colored Critters on Ice to the scene. Just because the winter holidays are over doesn’t mean that the snow and ice are gone! I wanted January to be cheerful! The ice? That’s an oval from this release’s Build a Scene – Calendar 2 die set.

For February, I featured the Crafty Grumplings. I imagined my sons working on their handmade Valentine’s Day cards (possibly making a bit of a mess), and at the same time, cabin fever setting in for everyone involved.

For March, I featured Copic-colored cows created with the If Cows Could Talk Stamp & Die Combo. It’s my oldest son’s birthday in March and this trio of cows is so much fun.
