Fall Die-Cut Scene – TE Share Joy Challenge #53

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #53. (Note: These challenges are no longer run. I was a huge fan!)

TE Share Joy Challenge #53

I used the sketch to create a fall-themed scene:

Fall Die-Cut Scene - TE Share Joy Challenge #53

I stamped the Birch Tree Background and cut it out with a circle in the Stitched Circle Stacklets set. I created a lot of pumpkins with Little Bits – Fall Harvest and the Little Bits – Fox, placing them in the On the Road – Wagon. I wanted the fox to appear to be almost camouflaged by the pumpkins. I used a sentiment from Woodsy Wishes (the sentiments in the set have just the right touch of whimsy!).

Lawn Fawn Fall Scene

Happy Monday! It’s a crisp fall-like day here in the Pacific Northwest. These puppies from Lawn Fawn’s Happy Howloween set are irresistible!

Happy Howloween

I Copic-colored the dogs and cut them with their corresponding dies adding them to a scene created with a variety of Lawn Fawn die cuts. I pulled the sentiment from Argyle Backdrops. Keep Cozy!

PB Simplicity – Thinking of You Fall-Themed Card

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS fall-themed card created with Penny Black stamps.

PB Simplicity Fall Tree

This card came about as a result of a happy accident. Using my MISTI, I stamped the tree 40-417 Regalia with a variety of Distress Ink colors and then again with VersaMark ink, which I heat-set. The heat-set image allowed me to stencil light blue ink onto the tree with a sponge applicator. (I created a stencil by cutting a circle shape out of vellum.)

After stenciling, I stamped a sentiment from #30-345 Soar and cut the image with a rectangular die, adhering the panel to a wood-grain card base.

Last week, I shared a card on the Simplicity Blog using non-holiday dies to create a bold and modern Christmas creation. I hope you’ll head over there and take a look.

Welcoming Fall + Forever 29!

Hello! Welcome to Day 3 of the Taylored Expressions September Sneak Peeks. With this release, Taylored Expressions is celebrating its 8th birthday with some fun party favors!

TE 8th Birthday

Today, I’m sharing two cards: a fall-themed one and a birthday-themed one! Let’s start with my decorated fall door using Door to Door Fall Decor.

Taylored Expressions September 2016 Release

I tried a number of different colored doors cut with the Door to Door set and this red one made me happy! (So much so that I think I need to paint our front door this color.) I decorated the door with foliage and a wreath cut with the Door to Door Fall Decor set (which includes the squirrel) and Little Bits – Fall Harvest. I put vellum behind the Door to Door Molding to soften the patterned paper (Playful Patterns – Harvest) and to simulate glass. I stamped a sentiment from Pumpkin Bouquet on to coordinating paper from the same patterned paper pack.

My birthday-themed card showcases the Candle Numbers die set.

Taylored Expressions September 2016 Release

I chose “29” since it’s often used as the age for birthday wishes in which the actual age of the recipient isn’t discussed. Aren’t these candles fun? I cut the cake with the Build a Cake set from paper in TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Hello Happiness. I added embellishments cut with the Little Bits – Sequins Confetti and Little Bits – Sprinkles Confetti sets. The sentiment is from Simply Stamped – Cupcakes.

Leaves are Falling!

Hello! It’s Day 2 of the Taylored Expressions September Sneak Peeks. With this release, Taylored Expressions is celebrating its 8th birthday with some fun party favors!  The September products will be released Thursday, September 1 @ 7 AM PST!

TE 8th Birthday

Today I’ve got two fall-themed projects (the leaves are already falling here in the Pacific Northwest!). My first card showcases the Fall Florals stamp and die sets (Fall Florals is a companion to the previously-released Fresh Florals stamp set and Fresh Florals Dies).

Taylored Expressions September 2016 Release

I stamped the floral pieces with a variety of TE Premium Dye Inks including Toffee, Sweet Basil and Mulled Wine, which are part of the September release. I finished the card with a frame cut with one of the Frame in Frame 2 Cutting Plate dies.

My second fall-themed card showcases the Birch Tree Background paired with die cuts from On the Road – Wagon and Little Bits – Fall Harvest.

Taylored Expressions September 2016 Release

That’s right – Taylored Expressions now offers background stamps! I used the Toffee ink to stamp the background. I stamped a sentiment from Simply Stamped – Leaves onto Pumpkin cardstock and cut it with one of the dies in the Stitched Banner Stacklets set (giving it a second cut, rotated, to cut a rectangle). I added the squirrel cut with a die in the Door to Door Fall Decor set (I’ll have a card showcasing that die set on my blog tomorrow).
