DAY 5 AND DAY 6 TE ADVENT CALENDAR

Taylored Expressions Advent calendar Day 5 was watercolor shimmer and Day 6 microwave popcorn with a recipe for Cinnamon Popcorn. 

SPELLBINDERS CRAFTY ADVENT CALENDAR

This is an Advent calendar that I purchased this year from Spellbinders.  Honesty, I fell for the beautiful packaging.  

Day 1 through Day 5 and so far I'm not that excited about any of them.  Hoping for better days to come!  

DAY 3 and DAY 4

Day 3 and Day 4 - looks like we will be making an interactive card with the new supplies.  I'm not a huge fan of interactive but it will be fun to follow along with the video on Friday.  

TAYLORED EXPRESSIONS ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY 1 & DAY 2

Advent is special in our faith life as we prepare for Jesus' birth - this being the reason for the season.  However, I'm not gonna lie, I was excited to start opening my Taylored Expressions Advent calendar contents each day during Advent. Here is Day 1 and Day 2. Looks like we will be building a snowman during the live video on Friday! 

BIG POINSETTIAS

I love these big poinsettia cards.  The Combo is from Concord & 9th Kristina Werner's Winter Greenery stamp, stencils and dies.  

 

MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

Quick and easy card!

I saved this from a Christmas card I received last year.  I just love the pretty background paper.  I cut it out with a rectangle stitched die and put it on a green card base.  I added the Taylored Expressions sentiment strips and it's ready to reuse!

 

FOREST FIR

I ordered these craft kits from Concord & 9th.  There are three trees that you put together.  There is a video to follow and it's super simple!

Getting started - video is ready.  Begin with getting the dowel in the wood base.  Next curl all the boughs.  Then start layering the different sizes of the boughs with a spacer in between.  My first tree is the Forest Fir.  

So pretty and realistic looking!  This is the smallest of the three trees.  I'll post when I get the other two completed!

HEARTFELT SYMPATHY

I used all Taylored Expressions products for this card.  The leafy die is called Glimpse of Nature and it was from Stamp Joy 2025.  The embossing folder is called Cross Stitch and the sentiment is from Modern Sentiment Labels & dies.  

WATERCOLOR HOLIDAY TAGS

I had fun with these Taylored Expressions Watercolor Holiday Tags.  Some of these I made last year when I received the tags & dies in the TE Advent calendar.  I also made a couple of cards using the tags. I bought another set of the panels and enjoyed coloring them on a cloudy, grey day!

I decided to color the berries in a pretty orange for Fall.  The other tag I blended ink on it after I did the watercoloring.  They are so pretty!  

COFFEE and CARDMAKING!

Coffee and card making makes it a good day!  I started with a watercolor background first a blue one and another one with a rainbow pattern.  I die cut a few trees with black card stock and splattered a bit of white on the background and the trees.  I found a few sentiments that I already had ready to go.  

WITH GRATITUDE

I went to the Taylored Expressions Studio yesterday and took time to do the Make n' Take.  The card is foiled and then ink blended with three different inks.  It was quick and simple but it turned out so pretty!

 

TE ADVENT CALENDAR

I'm excited that the Taylored Expressions Advent Calendar arrived in the mail.  

I'm ready for December 1st - I look forward to this crafty Advent calendar every year!

WAFFLE FLOWER POSTAGE

I finally made these into cards.  The Waffle Flower postage stamp die is a fun one to play with.  They have so many different stencils and other ways you can make this a fun card. I love these pretty florals! 

 

Thanks Friends!

I was putting away my Halloween stuff and wanted to share the pretty cards that I received this year.  

FALL FEELING!

I put together a card pack for a friend.  I wanted a Fall assortment of cards which I found in my stash.  

All these cards have a fall feel with the oranges and yellows.  I 🧡 Fall!
