Taylored Expressions November Sneak Peeks Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of Taylored Expressions November Sneak Peeks! The November products will be released on Thursday, November 5 @ 7 AM PST.

Today’s focus is in the kitchen! My first project showcases the new Eventful – In the Kitchen die along with a sentiment from Life is a Kitchen and Little Bits – Mixer and Little Bits – Hand Mixer.

For my CAS card, I heat-embossed the sentiment on Poppy Seed cardstock and cut it with the Eventful – In the Kitchen die. I trimmed off several of the kitchen items on the border and replaced them with the Little Bits – Hand Mixer and Little Bits – Mixer die cuts in bright colors. I also used the Eventful – In the Kitchen die to cut the three spoons from Cookie Monster, Potato Chip and Cherry Pop cardstock, replacing the Poppy Seed ones.

My second project is a gift tag for a box of Jam Thumbprint Cookies, with which I included the cookie recipe written on a Recipe Card. I chose the tag colors to match the illustrations on the bottom of the card.

The tag was created with the Build a Tag 3 die set to which I added a sentiment, bowl and spoon from the Life is a Kitchen stamp set. The spoon and bowl were cut with the coordinating die set. I punched a hole through the Recipe Card and attached the tag and card to the box of cookies tied with ribbon.

The Recipe Cards can be used for gift giving or simply as part of your own recipe collection. I know I have quite a few family recipes that I want to record, since our family recipes are tweaks on ones from cookbooks.

Reverse Confetti Birthday Gift Box

Today, I’m sharing an easy-to-create birthday gift box project featuring several Reverse Confetti stamp and Confetti Cuts sets.

GiftBox1

I had in mind gift packaging for a child, and the monkey from Monkey Business was my starting point. To begin, I cut orange cardstock with a pillow box die and stamped on it repeatedly (and in a random fashion) with the monkey, using orange ink for a tone-on-tone background.

GiftBox2

I created a tag from two pieces of patterned paper with the Folded Tags Confetti Cuts (I cut both patterns with the die and adhered them together). I stamped the cake from Later Alligator, colored it with Copic markers and cut it with its coordinating Confetti Cuts die. I added it to the front of the tag and added a stamped sentiment from the Folded Tags Sentiments set to the inside. The tag is tied onto the pillow box with twine.
