Taylored Expressions – Introducing Wool Designer Felt

Hello! Today I am sharing a home décor project created with Taylored Expressions supplies including the just introduced 100% Wool Glitter & Foil Felt. Each package includes two pieces of the Glitter & Foil Felt. I cut both of the Berry Patch colors and one of the Candy Shoppe colors with the Roll With It Flower 1 and Flower 2 Mixed Media Dies. I assembled the flowers with hot glue.

For the background, I applied chalk paint through a stencil, purchased as a craft store, on to canvas paper. Once the images were dry, I added the Designer Felt blossoms with hot glue. I used a frame purchased at IKEA for display.

Taylored Expressions – Home Sweet Haunted House

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.

TE November 2016 Release

For my Thanksgiving table setting, I combined papers from the Playful Patterns – Harvest collection with a woodgrain paper (Woodgrain Textured Cardstock Pack) and initials cut from matching cardstock.

Different holiday? No problem! For my Christmas table setting, I used papers from the Playful Patterns – Holiday collection with a white woodgrain (Woodgrain Textured Cardstock Pack) for the initials.

I also used the Initially dies to create a holiday home decor piece. The Initially die sets include large uppercase, small lowercase, and small uppercase letters. I used the large uppercase for this project.

TE November 2016 Release

I cut the letters four times each and adhered them for extra depth. The letters are adhered to a piece of 12″ x 12″ scrapbook paper in a shadow box frame. Super easy!

Reverse Confetti Happy Fall-idays: Thanksgiving

Welcome to the second day of the Reverse Confetti Happy Fall-idays – an event to provide ideas and inspiration for the holidays! Today we’re featuring Thanksgiving projects! There’s a list of everyone sharing ideas today at the end of the post. I created a table setting idea featuring the Pumpkin Patch stamp set.

I stamped the pumpkins, stems, vines and leaves from the Pumpkin Patch stamp set and cut the pieces with their corresponding Confetti Cuts dies.

I embellished the pumpkins with greenery from the Leafy Confetti Cuts set and adhered them to a circle base which I dry-embossed with the Woodgrain Confetti Cuts before cutting with a circle from the Circles ‘n Scallops Confetti Cuts. I added the circle to a scallop, also cut with the Circles ‘n Scallops Confetti Cuts, to create a tag, which I tied onto the napkins with twine.

Neat & Tangled Stamps – Halloween Photo Tray

I’m over at Neat & Tangled today with a Halloween Photo Tray project.  I wanted a way to attractively display our family’s Halloween highlights through the years. I decorated a 7 Gypsies Artist Printers Tray with a combination of photos, journaling, and embellished cards, which I created with stamped pieces from the adorable Neat & Tangled Halloween Scene set. Head over for details and a little bit about my approach when working on projects of this type.
