A Paper Melody: Berry & Bright!!

It is Christmas in July at Taylored Expressions today. This month's Cardmarking Kit, Berry & Bright, will get you started on your holiday creating early! It is perfect for cards and tags! I have two projects to share with you using two different color combos.

Here's what's included in the kit:

Berry & Bright Layering Stencil

Berry & Bright Greetings Split Stamp

Berry & Bright Coordinating Dies

The Insiders - Berry & Bright

These items are available for purchase outside of the kit:

Bauble & Bow Die Set

Berry & Bright Greetings Coordinating Dies

Foil It - Berry & Bright

For my first project I went with a traditional color combo, combining Cherry Pop, Cilantro, and gold.

I foiled one of the Foil It- Berry & Bright panel with TE Gold Foil using my Minc. I used Cherry Pop and Mulled Wine Ink for the poinsettias and berries and Lime Zest, Cilantro, and Jalapeño for the greenery. Then I die cut with the Berry & Bright Coordinating Dies.

I used Cherry Pop Cardstock for the card base and embossed with the 3D Embossing Folder - Poinsettia & Pine. With the Bauble & Bow Die Set, which is available for purchase outside of the kit, I added the ornament hanger and bow.

This is one of The Insiders - Berry & Bright panels that are included in the kit.

One Foil It- Berry & Bright panel creates four stenciled images. I created three tags with the other three stenciled images. I am excited to already have six tags in my stash for wrapping Christmas presents!

For my next project I used a combination of Royal Icing, Tiki Mule, Honeydew Melon, Green Tea, Brussels Sprouts with Champagne accents. This might be one of new favorite color combo!

On this card I used all the dies in the Bauble & Bow Die Set. I added the ornament base, double layer bow, ornament hanger, and greenery.

Here I stamped a sentiment from the Berry & Bright Greetings Stamp Set on Brussels Sprouts Cardstock and embossed with Champagne Embossing Powder. Then I die cut with Berry & Bright Greetings Coordinating Dies, which are available for purchase separately from the kit.

And the inside of the card is done and ready to go!

And I have three more tags done and ready to go!

The Berry & Bright Cardmaking Kit makes it easy for you to create four beautifully detailed wreaths at once, helping you make more heartfelt Christmas cards in less time. With the coordinated layering stencil, split sentiment stamp, and die, you can quickly build a collection of polished holiday cards while personalizing each one with your favorite colors, backgrounds, and embellishments.

Your creativity can extend well beyond cards, too! Use the Berry & Bright collection to make ornaments, gift tags, garlands, package decorations, and more. If you choose the Boughs & Baubles Bundle, you’ll have even more possibilities with dimensional ornament shapes, statement bows, coordinating sentiment dies, Foil It panels, and festive envelope seals.
