November Thank You!

Hello Friends!  I hope your Thankgiving Weekend was fantastic and you were able to spend time with friends and family.  We had a nice quiet weekend just the four of us with my daughter home from college.  It was great having her home... even if she had to do homework the entire time.  Thankfully during Christmas break she will have three weeks off with no homework!



As we close out the month of November being grateful, I wanted to share this quick card I made using the Taylored Expressions Watercolor Panels.  This panel is from the Keep in Touch set & I added the sentiment from the In & Out Thanks.  I colored the panel with Watercolor Pens... I just LOVE them!!!  {links below}



Have a Wonderful Day!

Tri-Fold Christmas Card

It's time for a little more Christmas fun with the Die'sire Create-A-Card Christmas dies from Crafter's Companion.  This die is called Christmas Eve & it's not only a die, but it is also an embossing plate and a stencil all in one!  I simply cut the die out with my Cut'N'Boss, then kept the paper in and embossed it through the machine again, and then used Memento Ink (Paris Dusk) and a sponge to make the images pop off the paper.  Repeated that 3 times for each side of the tri-fold card.  Easy Peasy!



Have a Fantastic Day!

Pine Tree Tutorial for Gina K Designs & Spectrum Aquas

Hi Friends!  Today I wanted to share a quick tutorial using just three Spectrum Aqua markers and a few simple steps.  For my card, I used the Gina K Designs November Stamp TV Kit called Sparkling Christmas.



Step 1: Using the Chocolate Spectrum Aqua Marker, add color directly to the tree trunks on the image.




Step 2: Add Olive Spectrum Aqua Marker to cover all three trees.


Step 3: Add Moss Spectrum Aqua Marker to the edges of each tree.



Step 4: Spritz watercolor paper with water and then stamp the image.
Step 5: Using a water brush, blend the colors on each tree.


Here are my finished trees.



See how easy peasy that is?  You can do it... seriously ~ Just give it a try!

Taylored Expressions: Paper Piecing Technique

Hi There Crafty Friends!  Today I'm sharing a card for Taylored Expressions using the Paper Piecing Technique.  


I used the stamp set called A Hug in a Mug and stamped three of the mug images in Toffee Cardstock.  Then I stamped them again in various patterned papers from the Build A Scene Christmas Patterned Paper Pack and trimmed out the details with scissors.  It's such a fun way to add a design to a stamped image.  {see product links below}  



Have a great Monday!

TE: Festive Treat Bag!

This month, the Taylored Expressions designers are having fun with Gift Packaging ideas!  What a perfect theme as we prepare for the Christmas season!


I started my project with the Sack-It To You die and embossed each side with TE Embossing Folders (Snowfall & Holly).   I added the sweet snowman from the Baby, It's Cold Outside stamp set and matching dies. (links below)



On the reverse side, I added a sentiment from the Special Delivery Stamp set and trimmed it with the Stitched Circle dies and Little Bits Holly die.


Have a great weekend!
