The new Build-A-Scarecrow Die Set is one of my favorites of the new release. I started by picking a plaid patterned paper for the shirt and built my color scheme around those colors. I die cut colored cardstock for each piece and the added detail with the ink blending. 

I used Copic Marker to color the face, a black gel pen to accent the mouth, and added small black rhinestones for the eyes. Sunflowers, pumpkins, and a black crow finish off the scene.

Welcome Fall

The Pick Your Pairings Release at Taylored Expressions

I am kicking of September with projects from the new Pick Your Pairings Release at Taylored Expressions. The Pick Your Pairings Release is where TE fans, our amazing community of crafters, share your product pairing ideas and today we’re excited to add some of those ideas to the TE collection.

Let's start with a look at the Wallflower Background Stamp and the Autumn Wallflower Layering Stencil.  I started by stamping the Wallflower Background Stamp on Buttercream Cardstock with Cinnamon Ink and lightly blending Toffee Ink on the edges of the card front. 

Next I used the Autumn Wallflower Layering Stencil to add the fall icons to the Wallflower Background. I have listed the ink colors I used below. 

The sentiment is from the previously released Happy Harvest Stamp Set and die cut with the Happy Harvest Dies. I die cut the leaves with the Fall Flurry Dies. 

One of the customer requests was to add dies to coordinate with the Create-in-Quads Layering Stencil - Mistletoe that was previously released. This is one of my all time favorite stencils and perfect to mass producing Christmas cards. 

I started by foiling a Foil It - Mistletoe panel with gold foil and then stenciling with Honeydew Melon, Brussels Sprout, Cherry Pop, and Mulled Wine Inks. Then I used the new Create-in-Quads - Mistletoe Dies to die cut the images. 

I used the Tiny Twinkles Embossing Folder to emboss the card fronts. 

All the sentiments are from the Jingle All the Way Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating Jingle of the Way Dies. 

I used TE Gold Foil to add the shadow to the die cut edges. 

On this card I used the new Additional Arched Stacklets and the Petite Scallop Arched Stacklets Dies to add the arched center. I am excited about this new dies. I love the shape! The bow is die cut with the Little Bits - Mini Bows Dies.
