You’re a Hoot!

Hello! Welcome to Day 3 of the Taylored Expressions August Sneak Peeks. Today, I’m sharing a fall-themed card featuring the Roly Poly – Owl. The August products we’ve been sneaking will be released tomorrow – Thursday, August 4 @ 7 AM PST!

TE August 2016 Release

I used a combination of browns, including two from the Woodgrain Textured Cardstock Pack, for the Roly Poly – Owl. The feathers were cut with the On a Limb – Leaves set. I decorated the On a Limb – Branches with fall-colored leaves, also cut with the On a Limb – Leaves die. The Hoot Hoot Hooray stamp & die combo sentiment was stamped inside a Little Bits – Let’s Talk Bubble 1.

Trick or Treat!

Hello! Welcome to Day 2 of the Taylored Expressions August Sneak Peeks. Today, I’m sharing Halloween treat packaging projects! Circle your calendar – the August products will be released Thursday, August 4 @ 7 AM PST!

For my first treat sack, I created a spooky scene with dies in the Haunted Accessories set.

TE August 2016 Release

I used a die in the Stitched Bracket Stacklets set to cut a piece of the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted paper for the topper, onto which I adhered the scene. The Mini Treat Sack – White (which is filled with M & M’s) was stamped with a sentiment in the Boo to You set using the MISTI – Precision Stamping Tool.

For another treatment, I created seals for the treat bags, using the witch in the Haunted Accessories set.

TE August 2016 Release

I backed the witch with paper from Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted and TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Build a Scene Halloween (these two work well together). Again, the treat sacks were stamped with a sentiment in the Boo to You set using the MISTI – Precision Stamping Tool.

Last but not least, I added tags with the Little Bits – Black Cat and Little Bits – Ghosts to the treat sacks.

Taylored Expressions August 2016 Release

I attached the die-cuts to tags cut with the Tag Stacklets 3 set and used a mini clothes pin to close the sacks. The treat sacks were stamped with a sentiment in the Boo to You set using the MISTI – Precision Stamping Tool.

A Haunting We Will Go

Welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions August Sneak Peeks featuring Halloween projects! Circle your calendar – the August products will be released this Thursday, August 4 @ 7 AM PST!

My first card combines the Haunted Cutting Plate with the Haunted Accessories.

TE August 2016 Release

I used the TE Premium White Pigment Ink – Sugar Cube – Mini Pad (this new ink is amazing!) to stamp a sentiment from the Boo to You set directly onto the image cut with the Haunted Cutting Plate from Chalkstock. I embellished the scene with a witch, gravestones and ghost cut with the Haunted Accessories. The background paper is from the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted set.

My second card showcases the Roly Poly – Witch die set. (She’s a pretty cute witch and could easily be used to create a Christmas elf!)

TE August 2016 Release

I grew up watching “Bewitched” and the show’s opening credits were my inspiration. I placed the witch on a broom cut with the Little Bits – Broom set. I used the Boo to You set for the sentiment (placed into a speech bubble cut with the Little Bits – Let’s Talk Bubble 1 die). The background paper is from the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted set.

Nautical Greetings

Yes, I’m sharing another nautical-themed card! Absolutely, hands down, it’s my favorite summer theme. I’m already making lists of Halloween and Christmas projects (and products to buy!), but since it’s still July, I want to celebrate the “now” just a little bit before moving into the fall- and winter-themed projects!

Jean Manis Nautical Greetings

I used the smaller of the two boat dies in the Poppystamps Marina Sailboat set, cutting the boat from kraft and red cardstock. I trimmed off the lower portion of the red one so that the boat would be wood-colored and the sail red. I have a couple of anchor dies, the one in the WPlus9 Design Studio Dies, Nautical Notions set being the smallest (which worked best with the boat).

The Stampin’ Up sentiment is one that I’ve used several times before. I keep looking for more nautical sentiments but haven’t seen anything that’s caught my eye.

Supplies:

Stampin’ Up sentiment; Poppystamps Marina Sailboat die; Lifestyle Crafts Tide embossing folder

Hooray! – TE Share Joy Challenge #46

I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #46.

TE Share Joy Challenge #46

I used the sketch to create a CAS birthday card:

TE Share Joy Challenge #46
I stamped the elephant from the Hippo Birdy set onto watercolor paper which I had colored with Distress Inks using a splattering technique.

TE Share Joy Challenge #46

I cut the elephant with its corresponding die and added balloons which were cut from Ranger Gloss Paper, which I colored with Distress Inks. I heat-embossed the Little Bits of Birthday sentiment.
