Deck the Halls!

Hello. Today, I’m sharing a winter Christmas scene featuring the Elizabeth Craft Designs Holiday House.

Elizabeth Crafts Holiday House

I placed the house in a forest scene (trees created with the Memory Box Fresh Pine Forest die). I used a Simon Says Stamp stencil for the snow. I added Liquid Applique to the house trim to simulate snow, although I considered creating those pieces either from glitter paper or using Elizabeth Crafts microfine glitter. I used Elizabeth Crafts microfine glitter on the wreath. There are so many ways to cut out these pieces, and I can’t wait to try some more variations.

Conversation Hearts – Taylored Expressions December 2016 Release

Hello. Welcome to the Taylored Expressions December 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’ve got a few more Valentines-themed projects to share!

TE December 2016 Release

I stamped and die cut the hearts with the Filled with Love Stamp & Die Combo set and attached them to a panel, which I had stamped with a sentiment from the set. To keep the hearts in a straight line, I used the panel from which I’d die cut the hearts as a guide. This card was super easy and quick to assemble.

Hello! Welcome to Day Two of the Taylored Expressions December Sneak Peeks featuring products designed for creating Valentine’s Day cards as well as classroom/friend treats! The December products will be released Thursday, December 8 @ 7 AM PST!

I’ve got three Valentine’s Day-themed projects today. My first features the Conversation Hearts embossing folder.

TE December 2016 Release

To create the background, I inked the Conversation Hearts folder before dry-embossing the Strawberry Milkshake cardstock. To the front I added the Brushstroke Valentine sentiment and two hearts created with the Filled with Love Stamp & Die Combo set, keeping with the conversation heart theme.

I used a similar technique on my next card, pairing the dry-embossed background with a different sentiment.

TE December 2016 Release

To create this version, I inked the Conversation Hearts folder with Strawberry Milkshake ink and dry-embossed Sugar Cube cardstock. I stamped Strawberry Milkshake cardstock with the sentiment from How Sweet It Is and paired it with the die-cut Loved Script.
