Taylored Expressions Door to Door Collection – Welcome 2017!

Happy New Year and a big welcome to 2017! I’m sharing a card created with Taylored Expressions dies.

I’ve just read on a blog post by Melissa Michaels of The Inspired Room that one’s front door tells a story. With that in mind, here’s the front door of a happy home! (Right now it’s cold and snowy here in the Pacific Northwest, but I’m thinking about a sunnier day!)

TE Welcome 2017

For my scene, I combined a number of the die sets in the Door to Door collection.

Cozy Winter Scene – Taylored Expressions

Hello. Today, I’m sharing a cozy fireplace scene. I’m not quite ready to say “good bye” to the holidays. This card is seasonal without being Christmas-y.

TE By the Fireside

As I created the card, I thought about the fireplace mantel once the stockings are down. I cut the By the Fireside mantel from patterned paper, as well as the strip simulating the rug and the card background. I framed a piece of patterned paper for the artwork above the mantel. To keep it cozy, I added candles (By the Fireside – Holidays) and a coffee mug (Build a Scene – Bistro) to the scene!

Hope your last week of December is filled with special moments!

Grumplings On Strike! – Taylored Expressions

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a holiday card featuring the adorable Taylored Expressions Elf Grumplings. Who hasn’t felt like going on strike during this time of year once or twice?

TE Elf Grumplings

I stamped and Copic-colored the elves, adding them to a CAS card design on which I combined patterned paper (from my stash) and packages created with the All Wrapped Up die.

Santa’s Helpers Reporting for Duty! – Taylored Expressions

Hello. Today, I’m sharing a Christmas card featuring Taylored Expressions Santa’s Helpers.

TE Santa's Helpers

I followed a tutorial by Michele Boyer on the Taylored Expressions blog to Copic-color these cute images. Once I had Santa’s helpers colored, I created the rest of the holiday scene with Dashing Through the Snow, Jolly Old St. Nick (I used only part of the die-cut),  Build a Scene – Rolling Hills and a heat-embossed sentiment from In & Out Christmas.
