Sing of the King

Hey there, crafty peeps!  I wanted to show you another card I made using the latest releases from Taylored Expressions.  I have loved using the new set called Sing of the King, which coordinates perfectly with so many already released products by TE.  I can't wait to use it with Nativity Border and the Bethlehem Border.

I stamped out the sentiment onto the Banner Stacklets 2 die, and used the Little Bits - Ornaments die with various TE felt.  I LOVE how this turned out, and it was so easy that I'll have to make more.  The papers are from the amazing Matched - Gingerbread Lane kit.

Stamps:  Sing of the King

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black

Woodland Winter

Good morning, crafty peeps!  I've scheduled this post ahead of time, because as you read this I'm a bit under the weather.  I'll be recovering from knee surgery for the next either couple days or few weeks depending on what they did.  I won't know until I wake up ;)  Regardless, I didn't want to leave y'all high and dry without some papercrafting inspiration!  I made this card using a couple of new dies from Taylored Expressions.  The Woodland Winter die coordinates with the previously released Woodland Winter set.  I also used the new Little Bits - Christmas Bulbs die and wrapped them around the Birch Tree Border die.  That embossing that you see back there uses the new TE Winter Flurry Embossing Folder.  Amazing products!  My creative juices always go into overdrive when I get my hands on some TE goodies ;)

Mixed Media Fun!

As I've said before, I've been dabbling in the art of Mixed Media!  Last night had jumped full in by attempting to paint a person.  As you can see I wasn't brave enough to do a face shot, but I did use a piece from a magazine and made it all my own.  There are layers of sheet music in the back as well that you can see faintly.  I have so much to learn, but one of my favorite things about it is being able to cover up mistakes.  I used acrylic paints, watercolor crayons, gesso, black pens, stabilo graphite pencils, and several stencils.

Thanks for taking a look!

Deck the Halls with Taylored Expressions

Happy Monday, crafty friends!  Have you been shopping over at Taylored Expressions after their new release?  I have a new card to show you using one of the new releases called Deck the Halls.  Those darling animals are just too cute all tangled up in lights.  Not only did I use a new set, I also used the new Matched Kit - Gingerbread Lane.  The papers are amazing and so vibrant.

Stamps:  Deck the Halls

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper:  Matched - Gingerbread Lane

Accessories:  TE Snowflake Border die, blue enamel dots, Copics, foam tape

I'm anxious to get my 'chores' and the kids schooling done for the day so I can go back to my 'cave' and get to creating!  These products are so fun and have me very ready to start decorating for the holidays ;)
