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.

O Christmas Tree Cardmaking Kit

It is the last Tuesday of the month and time for a new cardmaking kit for Taylored Expressions. We are celebrating Christmas in July with the new O Christmas Tree Cardmaking Kit, available now in the TE Store. 

I created two different themed cards with the new kit to share with you today. 

When it comes to untraditional Christmas color combos this is one of my favorite. I used Spearmint, Brussels Sprout, Salt Water Taffy and Macaron with silver accents. My first step was to stencil and die cut the tree. 

Next I stamped the O Christmas Tree Split Stamp & Stencil Combo, using the part of the stamp that is created the snowflake background. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I added the Christmas tree to the background and the die cut the presents to put under the tree. 

I used the See the Light Die Set to add the ornaments to the tree. The See the Light Die Set is available separately for the kit. I added one of the sentiments in the Mini Strips Stamp - Holiday 2 from the card kit. 

On my second card I went with a more traditional color theme, stenciling in Cilantro, Jalapeño, and Cinnamon inks, using Red Glitter Cardstock for the ornaments, and Licorice Cardstock for the card base. I stamped the snowflake in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. 

To add the birds I used the new Winter Birds Die Set, also available for purchase separately. There are a number of types of birds you can create. I can see using this die set throughout the winter season. I used red glitter cardstock to add the ornament with the Light It Up Die Set. 

This is another sentiment from the Mini Strips Stamp - Holiday 2.

Papertrey Ink November Release Countdown Day 3

Hi and welcome back for Day 3 of the Papertrey Ink November Release Countdown. I have two more projects to share with you today. All the new products will be available on November 26th at 12 PM ET. 

My first card features three new products, the Build-A-Snowflake Dies, the Big Blooms: Pretty Petals Dies, and the Fantastic Front Snowflakes Dies. To create the card front I die cut the top panel with the Fantastic Front Snowflakes Dies. The set also includes the die to cut the large snowflake under the flower. The Bottom part of the card is stenciled with the Spectacular Snowflakes Stencil Collection using Tropical Teal Ink. 

I used the Build-A-Snowflake Dies to build the snowflakes. The flower and greenery are die cut with the  Big Blooms: Pretty Petals Dies. The dies in this set allow you to create flowers in many different sizes. 

The sentiment is from the previously released Winter Greetings Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. 

Next up is a look at the Reflections: November Stamps and Dies. The November Reflections Die Set includes two sizes of frames. I used the larger die on this card. 

First I used the Stargazing Hot Foil Plate with gold foil on Pinefeather Cardstock. Next I die cut the frame with the foiled stars, and then two more time from Pinefeather Cardstock. I layered the frames together to add dimension. Next I stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. 

I die cut the greenery I attached around the frame with the Into the Blooms: Swag Die. 

I will be back tomorrow with more projects with the new release. Stop by the PTI Blog for more inspiration from the team.
