Taylored Expressions - Frosty Backgroun

Pixi Dust Designs - Music Box

 Hey there!  I am popping in today to share a gift box I made with the Music Box die from Pixi Dust Designs.   I took a different spin on this die as I love to make my supplies stretch and show that they can be used in a variety of ways.  I used some older patterned paper that I had and added some aqua cardstock.  I die cut all the pieces and put together the box. It is super easy to put together.

I due cut two of what I will call the liner.  This helps to make the box sturdy.  This is part of the music box of the die.   I added the candy so that you can see the size of the box. 

You can see more ways to use this die at Pixi Dust Designs.  

Pixi Dust Designs -Gingerbread House Mug Die

 Hello!  I am sharing some tags I made with the new Gingerbread House Mug die set!  This set is just too cute!  I decided to go all pink, red and aqua with these tags.   They are for some special presents that I have for trip that I am taking!  Cannot Wait! 

I used the little gingerbread boy and girl from the Christmas Gnome Mug die set.  They looked so cute with the Gingerbread House Mug die.   

I doubled up the mug, whip cream and lollipop and added a white backer to make the tag more sturdy!

Pixi Dust Designs - Guest Designer

 Hello!  I am popping in to share some new products from Pixi Dust Designs!   I am guest designing with the new release available November 4th!  

First up, I used the new Mrs. Claus Mug die set.  This is so adorable!  I die cut the pieces and had so much fun putting this together.  All the details are just too cute.  I used some of the additional images from some of the other new items like the tiny cookies and icing.  

Next up is the new Snow Globe die set and this set is huge!!!  It is absolutely perfect for making shaker cards.   I used the new stamp set called Holly Jolly and colored the Gnome with a little fox and the teddy bear.  I added some of the snowflakes from the Gnome Mug die set.

Next up, I used the new Gnome Mug die set and used some of my Copic markers to add dimension to the die cuts.  I used one of the sentiments from the Mug Add On die set to die cut out the Warm Wishes and added to his beard! 

These turned out so cute!   I had so much fun creating these projects today.  To find out more about these products, please visit Pixi Dust Designs!  This is a new to me company and I had just ordered the Reindeer Mug that has been previously released!

Stamptember Exclusive with Reverse Confetti

 Hello!  I am joining in with the fun this month with the Simon Says Stamp and Reverse Confetti collaboration set called Fa La La Trees for Stamptember.   

I love when a set allows you to get creative and with these sets that you can build as you like, there are so many possibilities.   I have a much different card that I will be sharing later!   

For this slimline design, I stamped out the striped tree and then with the outline repeating the pattern across the panel.   I then stamped separately, the tree with the branches and used a dark and light green ink.  I hand trimmed the trees out.  I then turned the slimline panel upside down and added the green trees with foam tape.   

I layered the panel onto some aqua cardstock and then added crystal sequins to mimic snow.   I stamped a sentiment and white embossed it and trimmed it down to a small strip and layered across my trees.   

Hop along over to Simon Says Stamp to see what other designers have in store for you! 

Coffee Loving Cardmakers for a Coffee Date!

 Hey there!  I am joining the Coffee Loving Cardmakers for a Coffee date today!  I am so excited to be Amy's Coffee date. Amy invited me years ago to be on a design team and we have worked virtually together for several years.  I just love her style and love to see what she is up to on her blog and instagram page!   She shared with me the inspiration photo below and I pulled the colors for my card using the inspiration photo!  Now, I must confess, I am not a coffee drinker but I do love hot chocolate!!!!  

I had the perfect stamp set that I picked up last year during the holidays but never stamped up! The stamp is from Elizabeth Craft Designs and it is called Marshmallow Snowmen.   It has the cutest images and I loved the one that I used on my card today! 

I used some stamp masking to mask off the peppermint candies with the hot chocolate mug.  I stamped the main image directly onto a die cut circle.  I colored the image with my Copic markers.   I love the little marshmallow snowman! How cute is he!  

I love the pinks and aquas in the inspiration photo and found the perfect colors to create this card!  

I stamped a sentiment from Concord & 9th called Mistletoe Messages.  It was perfect for a warm a toastsy greeting.   I used some patterned papers using the Reverse Confetti Winter Solstice.   For some finer details, I added some Distress Stickles in Diamond to the gumdrop cap and some details with a white gel pen.   

Hop over to the Coffee Loving Cardmarkers Blog and check out all the cute and fun inspiration just waiting for you!   She has a giveaway today to share!   Have fun! Cheers! 

Reverse Confetti - Stock Your Stash Challenge

Hello!  Tricia here with you today to share a slimline Halloween card with some Distress Oxide blending. I used Boo Day along with Spooktacular stamp sets.   I stamped my images out and then colored with Copic markers.  I love how the ghosts look like they are glowing!   I used the matching Boo Day and Spooktacular Confetti Cuts to die cut the images out. 

To make the background, I ink blended with Distress Oxides inks in Black Soot, Villainous Potion, Shaded Lilac and Antique Linen.  I masked off the moon and then used some of Villainous Potion and Shaded Lilac to creep in a shadow on the moon.   I then splattered the background with white paint.  I added to a slimline panel and then added a strip of black cardstock. 

For the sentiment, I used the Trick Or Treat Confetti Cuts and ink blended with Distress Oxides in Carved Pumpkin, Crackling Campfire and Mustard Seed.  I backed the cardstock with some Stick It Adhesive and then die cut with the Trick or Treat Confetti Cuts.   I added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the sentiment.  It can get a little messy.  I used a small needle to try to spread to the edges.   

I then started to adhere my images to the card popping some up with foam tape and others were adhered directly to the card panel.   For my bats, I recently saw Nichol Spohr color up bats and used some similar colors to make them glow in the moonlight!   I added some crystal sequins to finish it off! 

Come play along with the Stock Your Stash Challenge! Be sure to tag your card using #SYSChallenge  Have a great day!
