Taylored Expressions - Right as Rain

HO HO HO – Ten-Minute CAS Christmas Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card that took almost no time to create.

The card base was stamped with the Taylored Expressions Buffalo Plaid background stamp. I cut the sentiment from glitter cardstock with the Lawn Fun Alpha dies and adhered the letters to a rectangle cut with one of the Small Stitched Rectangle Stacklets. The sentiment panel was attached to the background with foam adhesive squares.

I like this card’s “on trend” background with a little bit of bling from the glitter cardstock.

Winter Wishes – Die-cut Ornaments

Hello! I like the ornament motif on holiday cards, and I have a collection of ornament dies. Today, I am sharing a card showcasing the newest addition to my collection – the Poppy Stamps Pinpoint Shaker Ornament. I liked it so much, I cut it twice!

The Poppy Stamps Pinpoint Shaker Ornament die is designed to work with the Retro Ornaments die set. I don’t own that set but found that the Impression Obsession Vintage Ornament die set worked for my purposes. I white heat-embossed one of my favorite sentiments (from the now-retired Hero Arts Operation Write Home Winter Wishes set) on deep blue cardstock. I cut the other ornament from pink cardstock and added a Savvy Stamps snowflake.

The ornament strings were cut with the Impression Obsession Vintage Ornament set. To create the background, I stamped the Taylored Expressions Snow Day Background stamp in Sea Glass ink on white cardstock.

Trick or Treat – Die-cut Glitter Bats

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Halloween card featuring glitter-covered bats!

I cut the bats from cardstock to which I first applied double-sided sheet adhesive.
I added the micro-fine glitter to the die-cuts.
I stamped the sentiment and cut it with one of the dies in the MFT Hearts in a Row set.
To create the background, I applied Black Soot ink with a Jumbo Dauber through the Taylored Expressions Spiderweb stencil.
I cut the circle from Stampin’ Up cardstock, adhered it to the background, and added the sentiment pieces and bats with foam adhesive.

Supplies: Memory Box Sweeping Bats, Hero Arts Ghostly Greetings

Taylored Expressions – Halloween Sarcasti-Chick

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Halloween card featuring the Taylored Expressions Sarcasti-chick dressed for Halloween.

I used the Haunted Cutting Plate as a frame over the Twinkle Twinkle Background, adding a ghost and Spooky Clouds to the scene.

I used the Sarcasti-chick on a non-Halloween card in this post.

Taylored Expressions – You’re SPOOKtacular

Hello! Today, I have a CAS Halloween card combining several Taylored Expressions die sets. I kept the color palette traditional with orange and black, with the addition of matte silver and white.

I stamped the Simply Said – Halloween sentiment on a Candy Corn cardstock card base. I added die-cuts from the sets: Sitting Pretty Halloween Accessories, Little Bits – Cat, Little Bits – Candelabra, and Little Bits – Ornate Frame. I cut the ledge with a die in the Sitting Pretty set.
