Trick or Treat!

Hello! Welcome to Day 2 of the Taylored Expressions August Sneak Peeks. Today, I’m sharing Halloween treat packaging projects! Circle your calendar – the August products will be released Thursday, August 4 @ 7 AM PST!

For my first treat sack, I created a spooky scene with dies in the Haunted Accessories set.

TE August 2016 Release

I used a die in the Stitched Bracket Stacklets set to cut a piece of the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted paper for the topper, onto which I adhered the scene. The Mini Treat Sack – White (which is filled with M & M’s) was stamped with a sentiment in the Boo to You set using the MISTI – Precision Stamping Tool.

For another treatment, I created seals for the treat bags, using the witch in the Haunted Accessories set.

TE August 2016 Release

I backed the witch with paper from Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted and TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Build a Scene Halloween (these two work well together). Again, the treat sacks were stamped with a sentiment in the Boo to You set using the MISTI – Precision Stamping Tool.

Last but not least, I added tags with the Little Bits – Black Cat and Little Bits – Ghosts to the treat sacks.

Taylored Expressions August 2016 Release

I attached the die-cuts to tags cut with the Tag Stacklets 3 set and used a mini clothes pin to close the sacks. The treat sacks were stamped with a sentiment in the Boo to You set using the MISTI – Precision Stamping Tool.

A Haunting We Will Go

Welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions August Sneak Peeks featuring Halloween projects! Circle your calendar – the August products will be released this Thursday, August 4 @ 7 AM PST!

My first card combines the Haunted Cutting Plate with the Haunted Accessories.

TE August 2016 Release

I used the TE Premium White Pigment Ink – Sugar Cube – Mini Pad (this new ink is amazing!) to stamp a sentiment from the Boo to You set directly onto the image cut with the Haunted Cutting Plate from Chalkstock. I embellished the scene with a witch, gravestones and ghost cut with the Haunted Accessories. The background paper is from the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted set.

My second card showcases the Roly Poly – Witch die set. (She’s a pretty cute witch and could easily be used to create a Christmas elf!)

TE August 2016 Release

I grew up watching “Bewitched” and the show’s opening credits were my inspiration. I placed the witch on a broom cut with the Little Bits – Broom set. I used the Boo to You set for the sentiment (placed into a speech bubble cut with the Little Bits – Let’s Talk Bubble 1 die). The background paper is from the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted set.

Hooray! – TE Share Joy Challenge #46

I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #46.

TE Share Joy Challenge #46

I used the sketch to create a CAS birthday card:

TE Share Joy Challenge #46
I stamped the elephant from the Hippo Birdy set onto watercolor paper which I had colored with Distress Inks using a splattering technique.

TE Share Joy Challenge #46

I cut the elephant with its corresponding die and added balloons which were cut from Ranger Gloss Paper, which I colored with Distress Inks. I heat-embossed the Little Bits of Birthday sentiment.

Ahoy! – Share Joy Challenge #45

I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #45.

TE Share Joy Challenge #45

I flipped the sketch horizontally to make a CAS nautical-themed card.

TE Share Joy Challenge #45

I pulled out my stash of patterned papers (I have several nautical-themed collections, mostly Carta Bella and Echo Park) from which I cut the Little Bits – Fishing Boat and the Build a Scene – Rolling Waves. I purposely cut the wave in the larger circle and the smaller one so that they would like up. I finished off the scene with a sentiment from Ships Ahoy stamp & die combo stamped in a cloud.

SJC44

I used the sketch (flipped horizontally) to create a CAS celebration card for a boy featuring the Sky High – Rocket set. This card came together quickly.

TE Share Joy Challenge #44

I heat-embossed a sentiment from Sky High Sentiments on a diagonal strip and adhered it to a panel that was dry-embossed with the Lots of Stars embossing folder. I added the assembled the Sky High – Rocket with foam.
