Taylored Expressions August 2017 Release – Fall + Halloween

Hello! Welcome to Day Two of the Taylored Expressions August Sneak Peeks. Products will be in the store Thursday, August 3 @ 7 AM PST! I have more fall- and Halloween-themed projects to share today.

First up, I have created a fall-themed Thank You, showcasing the Simply Stamped – Pumpkins set.

Taylored Expressions August 2017 Release

I stamped the Simply Stamped – Pumpkins with a combination of Potato Chip, Candy Corn and Pumpkin inks and used their coordinating dies to cut them. The stems were cut from cardstock which I colored with Distress Inks. I also cut the greenery and flowers from cardstock colored with Distress Inks using the Arbor Accessories die set. The Garden Arbor & Gate and Arbor Fence were assembled against a background hill cut with a die in the Build a Scene – Rolling Hills set. I finished off the scene with a crow cut with a die in the Sitting Pretty Halloween Accessories set.

My second card is CAS and Halloween-themed featuring a collection of the dies in this month’s release.

I added pieces cut with Little Bits – Ornate Frame, Little Bits – Candlelabra, Little Bits – Cat and Sitting Pretty Halloween Accessories to a panel on which I stamped a sentiment from Simply Said – Halloween.

Taylored Expressions August 2017 Release – Skulls + Ghosts

Hello! Welcome to Day One of the Taylored Expressions August Sneak Peeks. Products will be in the store Thursday, August 3 @ 7 AM PST!

Today is all about Halloween! My first project features the Sugar Skulls stamps and coordinating dies.

Taylored Expressions August 2017 Release

I stamped the images on TE Premium Watercolor Cardstock and colored them with watercolor pencils and Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. I used the corresponding dies to cut out the images. I used a few of the other stamps in the set to stamp the background. I heat-embossed the sentiment from Simply Said – Halloween and cut it with a die in the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets set.

Now, let’s get to the “treat” in “Trick or Treat”! I crafted a treat box using the Matchbox die set with the Be Somebody Stamp & Die Combo.

Taylored Expressions August 2017 Release

I stamped the Be Somebody Stamp & Die Combo ghosts on TE Premium Watercolor Cardstock and colored them with watercolor pencils. Once dry, I cut them with the coordinating dies. I stamped the sentiment from the same set on to the Matchbox base before assembling the box. I added stars cut with the Little Bits – Moon & Stars set to the box front along with the ghost. The coordinating paper is from the Build a Scene Halloween pack.

I used the Sitting Pretty Nautical Accessories and Little Bits – Crustaceans die sets to cut out embellishments which I added in a circle to the stamped Seas the Day sentiment. The patterned paper (with coordinating solid) is from Carta Bella.

Taylored Expressions – Surf’s Up!

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a square, CAS, summer-themed card featuring supplies from Taylored Expressions.

Taylored Expressions Surf's Up

Yes, I have been making a lot of square cards lately! I have also been trying to use more of my patterned paper (of which I have quite a lot). The patterned paper on this card is from Echo Park.

I stamped the Tropical Trio Stamp & Die Combo sentiment directly on the background paper. I added a surf board from On the Road – Surf Bus to the top of the assembled On the Road – Beetle. The palm is cut with the Build a Scene – Tropical set.
