Taylored Expressions October Sneak Peek - Day One!

Hi everyone!  Happy Tuesday!

Today is the first day of Taylored Expressions sneak peeks (yay!) and I have lots to share today so make yourself comfy and let's get started!

My first card today features the GORGEOUS new Poinsettia Bouquet petite set which was illustrated by the fabulous Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line at Taylored Expressions.  I absolutely ADORE this new set!

I started by stamping the image twice onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black.  I colored them both with Copic Markers and then cut out the flowers and popped them up with Foam Tape for dimension.  I cut out the panel with circle dies and layered it over another panel cut with the new Label Stacklets 1 Taylored Dies (love).

Here is a closeup of the flowers.  I added some Crystal Stickles in the center of the yellow portion of the flowers for some sparkle.

All of the cardstock, patterned paper and ribbon on my card are from the new Handmade Holiday Project Pantry Kit, which I LOVE.  I sponged the edges of all the panels with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink for a softer feel.   I used my beloved Mini Tags Taylored Dies (I adore these) and stamped "Joy" from this new set.  I then tucked it under my bow, which was created with The Bow Easy.   I separated the two panels of patterned paper with a border cut with the Small Scallop Border Taylored Die.

Here are the Copic Markers I've used on my card:

Next up I have a set of cards I created using the gorgeous new Rejoice set!  This set is part of the Lasting Impressions line at Taylored Expressions and I've paired it today with the AMAZING (like, swooning amazing) new Quatrefoil Taylored Cutting Plate (love Love LOVE).  I love this so much that I whipped up this set of five cards in NO time at all!

I cut the Quatrefoil card front out of Kraft Cardstock and then cut the focal panels using the new Label Stacklets 1 Taylored Dies out of Choice Snow White.  I stamped "Celebrate" and then "The Gift of Jesus" and then sponged the edges with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink again.  I added two snowflakes to the side of each sentiment panel cut with the GORGEOUS new Make A Snowflake Taylored Dies.  I coated the larger snowflake with glitter and then added a button to the smaller snowflakes.

Here is a closeup!  LOVING the new Make A Snowflake Taylored Dies...they are SO pretty!
