TE Christmas Ornaments – One Design, Two Versions

Hello! Today, I’m sharing two Christmas cards, featuring Taylored Expressions stamps and dies, of the same design but with different color schemes.

For my first version, I went for drama!

TE Ornaments

I cut the Ornament Overlays and Ornament Accessories from gold cardstock. I heat-embossed the Ornamental sentiment with gold metallic powder on Oreo cardstock. I die-cut circles that were slightly larger than the overlays from Cherry Pop cardstock. The ornaments were strung with gold metallic thread.

I went with a softer color palette for my second version.

The ornaments were cut from silver cardstock. The Ornamental sentiment was heat-embossed with silver powder on a Salt Water Taffy background. I used the Ornament Accessories to create the strings and bows.

Snow Day

Hello! Today’s I’m sharing a CAS, winter-themed card. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve just had our first significant snowfall of the season in the mountain areas.

CAS Christmas Die-Cut Card

I rummaged through my dies to find a wreath that would work with the Small Winter Sled finding the one in the Holiday Arbor Accessories set to fit well. I heat-embossed the sentiment from Snow Day with silver embossing powder and cut the white cardstock with one of the dies in the Stitched Hillside Border set. The patterned papers are from a Lawn Fawn pad purchased several Christmases ago.

From Witch to Girl Elf!

Hello! I’m sharing a CAS holiday card featuring a female elf (who just happened to have once been a witch!). For the August Taylored Expressions release, I created this card with the Roly Poly – Witch die set. With just a few modifications, she’s an elf for Christmas.

I die cut the pieces from the Roly Poly – Witch set and used corresponding Taylored Expressions ink colors to the die-cut pieces. In addition to that set, I used the cheeks from Roly Poly – Santa. To finish, I added a frame cut from gold cardstock with the Picture Perfect – Vertical set.

As Buddy the Elf, the inspiration for my card, says: “The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear.”

Supplies: Background paper – Doodlebug Here Comes Santa Claus patterned paper

Watercolored Calendar Pages

Hello! Last week, I shared some of the pages of my 2017 calendar created with some of the Taylored Expressions November 2016 release products. Today, I’m sharing pages for November and December in which I’ve included the 3×4 Watercolor Panels – Calendar.

I like to craft seasonally and enjoyed working on the November and December pages now, even though they’re for next year.

After the watercolored pages dried, I added frames cut with the die in the Build a Scene – Calendar – 5×7 set and adhered them to the calendar pages in the 2017 5×7 Calendar.

Have a Sunny Day!

Hello. Welcome to the Taylored Expressions November 2016 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’m sharing a card created with the new Flowers for a Year stamps and Flowers for a Year Dies.

TE November 2016 Release

I stamped and Copic-colored the floral images and cut them with their corresponding dies. While the Flowers for a Year images are designed to coordinate with the just released Build a Scene – Calendar 2 die set, I decided to pair several bouquets with one of the Picture Perfect – Sunny Days frames.
