TE Holiday Hoopla!


Taylored Expressions is hosting a Holiday Hoopla today and I'm so excited to be a part of it!! You should have arrived here from Cassie's blog.  If you didn't (or if you get lost along the way) you can head back to the beginning at Taylor's blog for the full list of participants. There are 22 designers showcasing Christmas/Winter/Holiday stamps sets from TE with samples that include all sorts of projects from cards to gifts and beyond!  We want to inspire you to get your holiday crafting and card making into high gear!  Be sure to stick with me all the way to the end of the post to get a coupon code for 25% off holiday stamp sets at Taylored Expressions! 

The set I'm showcasing is Peaceful Poinsettias. I used the solid poinsettias and the Poinsettia Dies to create a gift box. I love the elegance of this set and the dies made my project go together quickly and easily adding dimension to by box. 



For those special people in my life I love to create a special package to hold their gift. I used one of Taylor's Perfect Package Card Box. I love this boxes!! They are easy to cover, very sturdy, and have a magnetic closure.

I covered the box with paper from Authentique Holiday Wonder


I used one of the sentiments from the Peaceful Poinsettia Stamp Set and layered on the patterned paper cut with the Take Note Die 3 die. I added some pretty lace and gold twine.


After stamping my poinsettias I cut them out using the coordinated Poinsettia Dies. I sponged the edges with distress ink and added gold rhinestones from Taylor's Multi-color Twinkles.
