Treat bags and Taylored Expressions

Hi everyone, I can't believe it's my 3rd and final month to guest design for Taylored Expressions.  I sure am going to be sad when this month ends. 

 I LOVE working with TE  and the team.  

This month I got to play with:

Little bits- Ghosts

Little bits- Haunted house

and

Little bits- Halloween Scene

I thought they'd be perfect for decorating treat bags using the mini bag die from A Jillian Vance Design Die.

Think Happy Thoughts

How about a Taylored Expressions sneak peek of Little Bits balloons and Think Happy Thoughts??

It's Thursday and I on the list to show you the newest release from Taylored Expressions and lucky me I get to work with a word die "Happy".  I couldn't resist the tiny balloons and sequins either. hehe

 After I made a "boy" card I knew I had to make a "girl" card and it was pretty easy since the Double the fun paper pack had both colour groups. :)

Note: I don't have spray bottles of colours so I had to improvise to create the splatter background.  It was easy since I have a lot of stamp pads.  I just squished the cover of "Sweet leaf" ink pad till it left colour on the inside of the cover.  Then I added a few drops of water mixed it around with a Bristol brush (hard crunchy brush) and flicked the colour off the brush onto the white cardstock. :)

This petite stamp set includes a very “happy” coordinating die and will be FREE with orders over $50 beginning on September 11th – September 21st. One free set per customer, while supplies last at Taylored Expressions!

Hi

I feel so lucky to be the Guest Designer for Taylored Expressions.  Not only do I get their adorable stamps to work with but I also get to use stamps and dies I wouldn't normally use.  Pushing my boundaries is a great way to kick start my mojo :)

 I added little gems (finger nail gems) to decorate the butterfly body. I die cut the image in white and coloured the butterfly yellow.  It looks like I missed some spots. :)

Dies-BeautyLies Within, Floral Eyelet border: Taylored Expressions

Paper-Project Life

Stickers-Project Life

Markers- YR21, Black 00

Notes

If you sticker isn't the right colour then colour over it with the colour you need.  Colour over the letters and allow to thoroughly dry,  then remove the excess paper.  To make applying the letters easier apply a strip of prepositional sticky tac over the word and apply in position

Adventure Land peak

Wow I can't believe another whole week has gone by.  Did you enjoy the Taylored Expressions blog hops??  I hope so.  Today I have a peek at some cards I made using the TE Adventure Land stamp set.  I'm so glad I got this set as I can see many bright fun cards being made in my future. I think they'd make perfect cards for kids. Wanna see their full potential?  Hop on over to the

Taylored Expressions Day 3 Guest Designer

Well it's day 3 of Guest Designing for Taylored Expressions.  Today I made two cards that are the same but different.  Basically they have the same layout but are tweaked just enough to make them different.  If you want to see what I mean check out the post here.
Here's a little peek...

Well it's another day I get to share a peek at my creations for Taylored Expressions. I was inspired to create a background with my copics with with these cards.  If you want to see the whole card hope on over here.
