Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek, Day 2: Merry Christmas

Hello Taylored Expressions Fans and Crafty Friends,

Welcome to day two! Well, what did you think? Did the Creative Team inspire you to get crafty and start on your Christmas cards? Today, I am sharing two cards featuring Pink Christmas and Peace, Love & Cocktails



Flamingos are an on trend, hot-design item, so featuring them for Christmas seems like a natural choice. This cute stamp and die combination will put a smile on your face, especially if you are fortunate to live in one of the warmer climates during the "winter" season. I enjoyed using this set with a few old (from two releases ago) and new products. I love it when a stamp and die theme can be expanded upon to grow a collection. To create this card, I masked off the lower portion of a Sugar Cube card panel and stamped it using the Tropical Florals Background stamp and Cilantro dye ink. The palm tree from Sea, Sand and Santa pair wonderfully with the Christmas flamingo. A snappy sentiment and the Merry Script, die cut from Red Pepper cardstock, completes this card.

My second project is a wine tag featuring the new Peace, Love & Cocktails.


To create this tag, I cut a Sugar Cube panel and stamped it using the new Buffalo Plaid Background and Oreo dye ink. I then die cut the panel using the Bottled Up die set. The wine glass and bottle of bubbly was stamped, colored (Copic markers/colored pencils), and die cut with the coordinating Peace, Love & Cocktails dies. The pieces were then centered on an Oreo die cut from the Stitched Oval Stacklets set. The Celebrate Script die cut piece completes this tag.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to head into your carft room and get inky! However, the fun is not over yet.
