Hi all! It’s the first day of Taylored Expressions October Sneak Peeks for the October Release! We have so many fun and cool new stamps and dies for you this month!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

First up is the adorable new Baby It’s Cold Outside<\/strong><\/span> stamp set. This is a full sized stamp set with loads of fun options. I stamped the little elf train on Choice Snow White<\/strong> cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink<\/strong> and colored it with Prismacolors<\/strong> and a little bit of OMS (not a lot – the colored pencil on this applied fairly densely.) I die cut the image using the new and super adorable Shake It Up die<\/strong><\/span> to turn the image into a snow globe. After die cutting the image I sponged the edges with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink<\/strong> and used a glue pen and super fine Platinum glitter from Martha Stewart to make the snow. I used Doodlebug’s Home For the Holiday’s<\/strong> paper pad for the designer paper. That adorable paper bow was made using the brand new Mix and Match Bow die<\/strong><\/span>. To finish it off I added the Small Scalloped Border Die<\/strong> and a bit of white Liquid Pearls.<\/p>\n

My second project today features two new additions to the Taylored Expressions Die family that are so so fun and a must have – Sack It To You<\/strong> and Sack It\u00a0<\/strong>Penguin<\/span>. Sack It To You is a wonderful die that creates a gorgeous little gift sack that can be decorated in many different ways. Sack It Penguin<\/strong> is a set of dies that coordinate with Sack It To You<\/strong> to create the adorable penguin seen above. These dies can also be used alone to create a penguin for a super cute card front or other project.<\/p>\n

For my penguin I kept things pretty literal and quick using plain colored cardstock and a bit of coordinating ink to jazz up the penguin.<\/p>\n

I’m envisioning making a the whole line of these to decorate our mantel for Christmas!!<\/p>\n

That’s it for me today! Be sure to hop around and check out what the rest of the Baker’s Dozen has in store for you today!<\/p>\n
