Taylored Expressions October Sneak Peek Day 1



Hi Everyone! And thanks for stopping by for Day 1 of Taylored Expression October Sneak Peeks! The October release is all about the holidays! All the products being previewed this week will be available in the TE Store on Thursday morning at 8:00 a.m. PST. I have a couple of projects to share with you today. 


My first card uses the stamp set Rejoice, a full size set of 13 Christmas and Holiday sentiments in a beautiful font combination.  I also used two new Taylor dies. I used the new Label Stacklets 1 to cut out my sentiment  and the new Nativity Border Die at the bottom of the card. I think the combination of the Rejoice stamp set and the Nativity Border make a beautiful and elegant Christmas card that would be easy to mass produce.


On the inside I stamped another Sentiment from the set.


For my next card I am using the Best Nests Stamp Set, a wonderful all-occasion set with a darling bird house for every season! Since we are all about the holidays this month, I am using the Christmas birdhouse and sentiment. 

The image is colored with Copics and added a little liquid pearls and glitter to the snow. I used one this month new Project Pantry Kits, Merry and Bright.



I cut two of the snowflakes for the new Make a Snowflake Die and then used a glue pen to add a little glitter. The ribbon is included in the Project Panty.




Thanks for stopping by. I will be back tomorrow with another sneak peek. For more inspiration stop by each of the Design Team's Blogs today!
