Taylored Expressions October Release Day


Hi Everyone! It is release day at Taylored Expressions! All of the new Taylored Expressions products are now available in the Fresh Out of the Oven Department.
AND
Be sure to check the TE Current Specials page!  As a special offer for World Cardmaking Day, all Card Kits and Project Pantry kits will be 15% off through Saturday.


I have a couple of projects to share with you today. My first card uses the new Doug Applegate Abode, Cozy Cabin. This stamp works great for Christmas, but would work well for friendship and masculine cards too.

I used the new Project Pantry Kit, Handmade Holidays for my card. The papers are from Simple Stories and definitely on of my favorite paper pads this season. I used two Taylor dies on my card, the Large Scallop Border Die and the Grass Border. My grass is cut from Taylored Felt in Grass Green. I added ribbon from the Project Pantry Kit and buttons from my stash.


The image is colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment is included in the stamp set.


On the inside I stamped the cute deer from the stamp set, added another border of grass and the sentiment is from the Handmade Holidays paper pad.

My next project uses one the two Shadow Box Card Kits available this month, featuring Authentique Festive papers. The Shadow Box Card make really nice Christmas Card for those really special people in your lives. My is going to the girl's Grandmother.

On the front of the card I stamped a sentiment from Rejoice Stamp Set, a full size set of 13 Christmas and holiday sentiments in a beautiful font combination. I cut it out with one of the dies in the Label Stacklets 1 Dies. I used the holly leaf die in the Very Merry Outlines Die Set to cut my leaves from green cardstock.


I decided to go with a photo in the center panel, but a sentiment work really well here too. I used the Very Merry Outlines and Very Merry Scallops Dies to create the ornaments and the candy cane. I left room on the right side to write a note.







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