Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek Begin!!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Thursday! I could NOT possibly be more excited!! Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks have begun and this release is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! Well, OK...they ALL are...but I am in LOVE with all of the releases this month!!

Today the Baker's Dozen are previewing a simply GORGEOUS new set from the Lasting Impressions collection from Taylored Expressions, Christmas Blessings!

This is set is simply elegant! It is SO perfect for Christmas, as the images and sentiments really encompass what the season is all about!!

I have two samples for you today using this set! BOTH of my samples use GORGEOUS paper from Christmas Mint by SEI, and you will be able to purchase this paper at Taylored Expressions!!

For my first card, I stamped this beautiful scene in Memento Rich Cocoa directly onto some of this gorgeous paper from SEI. I then stamped it AGAIN in Memento Rich Cocoa onto Classic Yellow Green (Prism) and then cut it out and layered it.

The sentiment, "Simply Jesus", was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa, again onto the SEI paper, and punched out with a Wide Oval Punch. ALL of the layers were softly sponged with Close to Cocoa ink to warm it up. I added KaiserCraft Clear Crystals in each corner and on the sentiment panel as well. I stamped the star, which is also from this set, in Memento Rich Cocoa, cut it out and attached it to my sentiment oval as well. I added just a touch of piercing on this and finished it off with a double ribbon of Chocolate Twill and Vanilla Organdy.

For my second card, I went with a delicious color combination of Classic Red, Suede Dark Brown and Choice Buttercream...LOVE these colors together!

I stamped this beautiful dove in Versamark onto the Classic Red Cardstock and then embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder. The sentiment, "Peace On Earth", was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa onto another piece of the Christmas Mint paper from SEI. The GORGEOUS background paper is also from this Christmas Mint collection! These papers are pure elegance!!

I added Taylor's Tiny Twinkles to both my focal panel and my sentiment panel, and I finished this card off, again with just a touch of piercing, and a double ribbon of Chocolate Twill and Vanilla Organdy.

If you want to make elegant and meaningful Christmas Cards this year, than look no further! This set was made for you!! You can see the other beautiful creations with this set from some of the Baker's Dozen right here!!
