Hello Hello everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Today I am very excited to share my projects for Taylored Expressions Christmas Release! There are really gorgeous Christmas themed products. Lots of stamp sets and coordinating dies, layered stencils, Mini Slim stencils, dies, new drip drops in sliver and gold, glitter cardstocks and cutting plate. That is a lot of awesome new products. 40 new products and it is the biggest release this year. All are available at TE store now.
I have five projects to share with you today. So grab a cuppa and enjoy.
Card #1

To make this card, I used the new Big Grumpy Christmas stamp set and dies along with the Let it Snow Layering Stencils to make this card. I wanted to show you that this new set can be used on their own or with Big Grumpy stamp set and dies which is originally what it was intended for. I simply stamped the images twice using Oreo Hybrid ink and copic coloured them before diecutting them using the coordinating dies.
For the background, I used a panel die cutting using the Stitched Mini Slim Stacklet and Gumball cardstock. Then using the new Let It Snow layering stencils, I sponged Gumball and Sugar Cube inks to add texture and interest to the panel.
Then I attached all the die cut images on the bottom on the panel using foam adhesives. The sentiment I simply stamped using Oreo ink, trimmed and adhered on the top centre of the panel. A few dots using white gel pen on the background to mimic snow and white rhinestones to finish off the card panel. The panel is adhered on Sugar Cube Mini Slim card base.

Card #2

For the second card, I used the new Tag Team Christmas stamp set along with the Merry Millie stamp set. I did masking and ink blending for the background. Then stamped the images from Tag Team images and sentiment on the ink blended panel on the card front.
Then I stamped the images from Merry Millie stamp set using Oreo hybrid ink, then coloured using copic markers and die cut using coordinating dies. I then adhered these images on the ink blended area using foam adhesives.
I cut two thin strips of gold foil cardstock and adhered on the top and bottom of the ink blended area. I stamped the larger sentiment below the ink blended area using Oreo ink and finished off with white rhinestones.

Card #3

This is my favourite card of the release. I love the simplicity of the card yet festive. I used the new Seasonal Sprig stamp set and layering stencil to make this card. I ink blended the card front using red inks from TE which i have listed below in the supplies. Then stamped the Seasonal Sprig image over the sponged area and ink blended the inside of the images using Seasonal Sprig Layering stencil. I used copic markers to add shading to the ink blended leaves and berries and outlined with BG10 marker to add shadow. I simply stamped the sentiment in the middle of the card front using Oreo hybrid ink. Again white rhinestones to finish off the card.


Supplies:

Card #4

For this card, I wanted to make a neutral themed holiday card. Something subtly Christmas on the background but generally neutral as focal point. I was thinking for someone who does not celebrate the festivity.
I used On the Block Happy from the birthday release and On Repeat Holidays from this release to make this card. I simply stamped the Happy in four different colours, die cut using the coordinating die. Stamped the On Repeat Holidays twice and die cut using the coordinating dies.
For the background, I simply embossed the panel using Nordic Holiday embossing folder. I adhered the Happy die cut using foam adhesive and the Holidays die cuts over them using foam adhesive as well. A few white rhinestones to finish off the card.


Supplies:

Card #5

I used the Mini Slim Rectangle masking stencil and Candy Cane Stripes Mini Slim stencil to sponge red Te dye ink on the background panel. Then I used the copic coloured and die cut images from Gus and Gertie Holiday Adventures stamp set to foam mount on the front panel. The sentiment from the stamp set, I simply stamped in Oreo on white cardstock, trimmed and sponged the edges with red ink before adhering on the centre using foam adhesives. I adhered this panel to Lime Zest Mini Slim card base and embellished with white rhinestones.
