Mad for Plaid – Merry Monday Christmas Challenge

I’m playing along with this week’s Merry Monday Christmas Challenge – Plaid.

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #218

I created a CAS card featuring the Taylored Expressions Wreath Cutting Plate:

Merry Monday #218 {PLAID}

I went through my stash of Christmas patterned papers and found two patterns that worked well together (after trying out several different plaids). I cut the wreath frame from gold cardstock (Metallic Neutrals pack) and backed the open spots with Scotch tape. I cut the patterned papers with the plate and placed those pieces into the frame. I stamped the sentiment from Ornamental with gold ink on the Red Pepper cardstock and attached that piece to the back of the frame. For embellishment, I added a glittery die-cut bow (Mini Mix & Match Bows).

Just Because – Taylored Expressions Die-Cut Fall Scene

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a “just because” die-cut, fall scene created with  Taylored Expressions supplies.

TE Die-Cut Fall Scene

I had an assembled Little Bits – Raccoon on my work table just waiting for a place on a card. Our recent wind and rain storms had me thinking about swirling leaves (of which we’ve seen a lot), and I wanted to create a scene in which the raccoon was surrounded by falling leaves. I happened to also have the dry-embossed base, so it was easy to add a few more items to complete the scene. I’ve never used the Build a Scene – Rolling Clouds dies before but decided they’d be the perfect way to add a sentiment to the scene in an unobtrusive manner!

Merry Monday #217 {Retro/Vintage}

Hello. I’m playing along with the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge whose theme this week is Retro/Vintage (a Christmas style/theme that I really like!).

Merry Monday #217 {Retro/Vintage}

I created a CAS card using Taylored Expressions die-cuts:

TE Vintage/Retro Christmas Die Cut Card

This card features one of my favorite retro/vintage color schemes: teal blue, red and white. I framed the Jolly Old St. Nick scene using the Picture Perfect – Vertical die. The patterned paper is from a pack I had in my stash. The card base is silver metallic from the Metallic Neutrals pack – the finish and color reminds me of aluminum Christmas trees!

Taylored Expressions Patterned Paper Die-Cut Holiday Scene

Hello. Today, I’m sharing a CAS Christmas card showcasing the TE Build a Scene Christmas patterned paper pack.

TE Patterned Paper Christmas Scene

The TE Build a Scene Christmas pack contains papers with all-over patterns, such as the tree one I used in the back panel and the stripes used for the snowman’s scarf, as well as scenes, such as the one I used to place the Little Bits – Snowman. The beauty of these packs – the colors and patterns coordinate wonderfully!

I framed the snowman scene using the Picture Perfect – Vertical die. To add texture and visual interest, I scattered snowflakes cut with the Little Bits – Snowflake Confetti die.
