Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS Halloween-themed card created with Taylored Expressions products.
To create the background, I applied Distress Oxide inks – Broken China, Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade – and then stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said – Halloween set. I added the Little Bits – Witch Hat to the Little Bits – Owl which I placed on a branch cut with the On a Limb – Branches set decorated with On a Limb – Leaves.

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Halloween card created with Taylored Expressions products.
To begin, I colored Sugar Cube cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade and stamped the Simply Said – Halloween sentiment with Archival ink over the inks. I cut a circle from a Plum Punch cardstock rectangle, which I dry-embossed with the Weathered embossing folder to add some texture. Around the sentiment, I added die-cuts cut with the sets: Sitting Pretty Halloween Accessories, Haunted Accessories, and Little Bits – Ornate Frame.

Hello! Today, I am sharing a table-top Halloween decor project created with a combination of Taylored Expressions dies.
I combined cardstock pieces cut with dies in the Home Sweet Home (house, windows, roof, chimney), Sack It – Haunted House (shutters, door, ghost, and gable trim), and Home Sweet Home Accessories (curtains) sets to create the house. I covered the window above the door with an assembled Little Bits – Ornate Frame. I used the Spooky Fence Border die to cut the fence.
Happy Haunting!

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions August 2017 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 two more Halloween-themed projects to share!
I am wild about the just-released Ghost Town Border! The die set includes pieces with which to cut the background pieces (behind the windows and doors).
I stamped and heat-embossed a sentiment from Boo to You on the background, and I added a ghost cut with the Ghost Town Border set, as well as a ghost and bat cut with the Haunted Accessories set.

On my last card, I created a Halloween scene with one of the dies in the From the Crypt – Haunted set.
I used the Label Stacklets 11 set to cut the background and added a ghost cut with the Ghost Town Border set, as well as a ghost cut with the Haunted Accessories set. I used the banner die in the Build a Tag 2 set to cut the sentiment stamped with Simply Said – Halloween. For a little bling, I added TE Sequins – Build a Scene Halloween to the patterned paper background.

Hello! Welcome to Day Three of the Taylored Expressions August Sneak Peeks. Products will be in the store tomorrow – Thursday, August 3 @ 7 AM PST! Today, I am sharing two Halloween packaging projects.
My first project uses the Coffin Treat Boxes. The set includes five black and five metallic boxes, ready to assemble.
The fun begins with decorating these easy-to-assemble boxes! I used the From the Crypt – Creepy set to cut the overlay (in both black and silver) and the Label Stacklets 11 set to cut the patterned paper, which I used behind the overlay and inside the boxes. I stamped a sentiment from the Mum’s the Word Stamp & Die Combo set and cut it with a die in the Tag Stacklets 3 set to create a tag. Of course, you don’t have to add a tag or tie the boxes up with twine, but I thought it would be fun to show that option.
The boxes are generously sized for Halloween treats!

My second project is a set of Halloween treat tags (I used them for cellophane bags filled with Smart Food popcorn) created with the Build a Tag 2 and new Halloween supplies.
For all of the tags, I heat embossed a Simply Said – Halloween sentiment and cut it with the banner in the Build a Tag 2 set. I dry-embossed the tag set’s scalloped pieces with the Subway Tiles embossing folder. I varied the colors of the sentiment strips and tags for variety, embellishing the tags with pieces cut with the Little Bits – Ornate Frame, Little Bits – Candlelabra, Little Bits – Cat and Sitting Pretty Halloween Accessories die sets. For a little bling I added TE Sequins – Build a Scene Halloween.
