Taylored Expressions – Countdown to Christmas

Welcome to Day 3 of the Taylored Expressions October 2017 Release Sneak Peeks.  The October products that have been sneaked this week will be released tomorrow – Thursday, October 5 @ 7 AM PST!

Today, I am featuring a Countdown to Christmas project, with twelve boxes to be opened on the twelve days leading up to Christmas, featuring the Matchbox die set with new holiday additions to the Matchbox line including Matchy Snowman and Matchy Penguin.

Taylored Expressions October 2017 Release

I adhered magnetic tape to the back of the Matchbox cases and positioned them on a cookie sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree.

I used the Clearly Planned – Candy Cane Numbers and coordinating dies to create the countdown numbers for the boxes (some on the exterior and others on the interior). I used stamps in the Matchy Backgrounds – Holiday set to decorate box tops and drawer insides. I added snowflakes cut with the Make a Snowflake set for visual interest around the tree.

The contents of the Countdown to Christmas boxes include candy and Christmas activities!

I decorated several box tops with the Matchy Snowman and Matchy Penguin sets, which would be fun to use on their own on a card.

Taylored Expressions Easter Treat Packaging

Hello! Today, I’m sharing an Easter Treat packaging idea created with Taylored Expressions stamps and dies.

I used the recently released Matchbox to create a box for an Easter chocolate. I decorated the outside of the box with a Copic-colored bunny from the Peek-a-Boo Easter stamp set. I dry-embossed the box with the Swiss Hearts embossing folder.

For the inside of the box, I stamped the sentiment on cardstock, which I cut with one of the dies in the Matchbox set.

You Are Loved – Taylored Expressions December 2016 Release

Hello! Welcome to Day Two of the Taylored Expressions December Sneak Peeks featuring products designed for creating Valentine’s Day cards as well as classroom/friend treats! The December products will be released Thursday, December 8 @ 7 AM PST!

I’ve got three Valentine’s Day-themed projects today. My first features the Conversation Hearts embossing folder.

TE December 2016 Release

To create the background, I inked the Conversation Hearts folder before dry-embossing the Strawberry Milkshake cardstock. To the front I added the Brushstroke Valentine sentiment and two hearts created with the Filled with Love Stamp & Die Combo set, keeping with the conversation heart theme.

I used a similar technique on my next card, pairing the dry-embossed background with a different sentiment.

TE December 2016 Release

To create this version, I inked the Conversation Hearts folder with Strawberry Milkshake ink and dry-embossed Sugar Cube cardstock. I stamped Strawberry Milkshake cardstock with the sentiment from How Sweet It Is and paired it with the die-cut Loved Script.

Need a Hug? My final project today is a classroom treat created with Roly Poly Sentiments and Roly Poly – Panda.

TE December 2016 Release

I attached the assembled panda, holding a heart stamped with one of the Roly Poly Sentiments, to a Tuck & Close Notecard which I stamped on the inside with another sentiment from the same set. I added a chocolate treat!

“From the Desk of”: Introducing TE Initially Dies

Hello! Welcome to Day Two of the Taylored Expressions November Sneak Peeks. With the holidays just around the corner, this month’s release features products designed for creating handmade gifts! The November products will be released Thursday, November 3 @ 7 AM PST!

Today, I’m sharing a personalized notecard set featuring the Garden Party Background stamp and the Initially dies.

TE November 2016 Release

I put the Garden Party Background stamp on my MISTI – Precision Stamping Tool and stamped away with the TE Inks! The stamp’s circular opening is perfectly sized for the Noteworthy stamp set. (I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig imaging plate on my MISTI to align the stamp.) I added matching die-cut monograms to the stamped circles. The Initially die sets include large uppercase, small lowercase, and small uppercase letters.

TE November 2016 Release

The Noteworthy stamp set also works inside the circle of the Noteworthy Belly Band. The Noteworthy sentiments can be used to decorate the outside of a clear card box, packaging a set of monogrammed notecards (and envelopes).

Make 2017 Fun! – TE Build a Scene Calendar

Hello (and Happy Halloween)! Welcome to Day One of the Taylored Expressions November Sneak Peeks. With the winter holidays just around the corner, this month’s release features products designed for creating handmade gifts! The November products will be released Thursday, November 3 @ 7 AM PST!

Today, I’m sharing several themed pages from my 2017 5″ x 7″ calendar, as well as gifting and display options for the pages. By personalizing a calendar, I can create cheerful and meaningful scenes to mark the days in 2017!

TE November 2016 Release

I used the Build a Scene – Calendar – 5×7 die set along with the 2017 5×7 Calendar to create the pages.

For January, I added Copic-colored Critters on Ice to the scene. Just because the winter holidays are over doesn’t mean that the snow and ice are gone! I wanted January to be cheerful! The ice? That’s an oval from this release’s Build a Scene – Calendar 2 die set.

For February, I featured the Crafty Grumplings. I imagined my sons working on their handmade Valentine’s Day cards (possibly making a bit of a mess), and at the same time, cabin fever setting in for everyone involved.

For March, I featured Copic-colored cows created with the If Cows Could Talk Stamp & Die Combo. It’s my oldest son’s birthday in March and this trio of cows is so much fun.

Gifting the calendar? The twelve pages fit in a perfectly-sized clear box.
