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!

HAPPY NOVEMBER!

I love these beautiful Fall colors!  The new Harvest Hues layering stencils from Taylored Expressions are so pretty.  I followed Heather Nichols choice of ink colors.  

A little splatter never hurt anyone....

My completed cards - I did mostly follow the card design from Heather Nichols.  I used the Burlap embossing folder for the background on Latte card stock.  I love the colors of Fall so these were right up my alley!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween!  I was inspired by the postage stamps so I made cards that had a similar look.  

 

SUNDRY SENTIMENTS FALL

I'm thanking my future self for getting these sentiments ready to use.  I stamped and die cut the sentiments on Latte, Buttercream and white card stock. These are ready to go when I'm ready to use them!  This is the new Taylored Expressions Sundry Sentiments Fall.  

 

PRETTY POINSETTIAS

A few more cards using the Taylored Expressions Garden Variety Poinsettia die set.  The sentiment is Taylored Expressions Mini to Mighty Christmas. I used the TE Sketched Plaid embossing folder for the background.  

PETALS & PROSE

I made this card design at Taylored Expressions Stamp Joy and we were given the stamp set called Petals & Prose.  I decided to make another one.  It was a quick and easy to put together. I like the stamp that looks like splatter!  

FALLING FOR YOU!

I followed along with the Taylored Expressions video with Susan Block to make the Falling for You Triple Slim.  I had all the supplies to do it so figured it was a good time to make a birthday card for a friend's fall birthday in October.  Happy Birthday Doreen!

Here are the other two cards that I made with the Triple Slim Falling for You.  You can't see the pretty foiling but it adds so much!

FINELINE FOLIAGE

I purchased this Taylored Expressions Fineline Foliage background recently at Stamp Joy.  I really like the leaf pattern.  I followed a card idea that I saw at Stamp Joy.  I stamped and then colored with Copic markers.  I used a dark brown splatter.  The Hello Friend sentiment & die is from Foliage & Feather. 

WOODLAND BLOOMS

New Taylored Expressions Foil It's called Woodland Blooms!  Bonus was that I already owned the stamp & stencil combo.  I loved the look of the black so I didn't even foil these.  They turned out so pretty!  

The Taylored Expressions Woodland Blooms turned out so pretty. I used the sentiments from the set as well.  

POINSETTIAS

I had some leftover die cuts from my Taylored Expressions card project so I wanted to try the poinsettias in the rustic pail.

SLEIGH ALL DAY

Getting started on this sleigh card from Taylored Expressions.  A whole lotta die cutting to make this one!  I used my new Empress mini and it made all the die cutting so much fun!  I followed Heather Nichols card design and colors from her blog post.  

After the die cutting, we go to the splatter box.  I splattered with white & dark brown on all the pieces and parts.  

A little drying time and I'm ready to assemble!

All the products are from Taylored Expressions.  The Holiday Greenery Product Bundle included Garden Variety Holiday Greenery Die set, Garden Variety Poinsettia Die Set, Sleigh All Day Die Set, Mini to Mighty Christmas stamp & die set.  I used the Taylored Expressions Tiny Twinkles Embossing Folder for the Latte layer.  The card stock colors were Cherry Pop, Honey, Latte, Toffee, Sweet Basil, Green Tea, Brussels Sprout and Gold.  

STAMP JOY 2025!

Doreen bought a Minc foiling machine.  We were as excited as she was!  

Great tour of the Taylored Expressions Studio, offices, production and warehouse.  

Beautiful space to create!

Melissa, Taylor, Susan and Doreen - what a fun time!

WE 💙 TE!

Cheers to Stamp Joy 2025!

Joan, Joyce and Kara - fellow candy corn's!  

Fun times and memories made at Stamp Joy 2025!

All the cards we made at Stamp Joy.  Very fun to create with lots of friends.  

 

HAPPY OCTOBER from THE BOO CREW!

I thought these Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Cake Pop dies were cute!  I used the Pierced Plaid cover plate by The Stamp Market for the background.  The sentiment is from Amuse Studio October Labels.  I think I need to make another card like this, I feel like the eyes on the pumpkin cake pop are too high.  Hmmm.....

 

NEW ADDITION!

A new addition to my craft room!  I had another shelf here for many years but this one is specifically made for stamp cases.  It was a chore to get the heavy box downstairs.  Putting it together was kinda fun!  I really like the quality and appearance of the new shelf.  I ordered from Stamp-n-Storage and this particular model is the Large Stamp Case Tower.  

UP FOR A CELEBRATION

Here are a few more birthday cards using the Taylored Expressions Up for a Celebration layering stencil, Foil Its and coordinating die.  I have a card ready for my niece who turns 11 later this month.  I used two different embossing folders for the backgrounds including Tiny Twinkles and Shoutout Birthday.
