It’s Sneak Peek time at Taylored Expressions and I am SO excited to share what I’ve been working on! Today I used a gorgeous new cutting plate, Quatrefoil. It is perfectly sized for an A2 card and cuts like a dream in my Big Shot.
For this card I used Quatrefoil with Poinsettia Bouquet and Many Minis Holiday. Both stamp sets were illustrated by Nancy McKinney and are simply gorgeous. I think these poinsettias make such an impression by themselves or paired with something.
The card base and patterned paper are from Project Pantry Simple Stories Handmade Holiday. This kit has beautifully coordinated papers and ribbon in it, and has a nice, vintage feel to it. I’m loving this kit!
My 2nd Sneak Peek uses A Bushel & A Peck…don’t you love it? It’s concepted by Jami and illustrated by Doug Applegate. This set was made to use with All Aboard and Loads of Fun. The possibilities are endless with these three sets!
I used two new die sets, Label Stacklets 1 and Snowflakes, for this card. These dies coordinate so well with so many stamp sets…you’ll be seeing me use them a lot! I cut the snowflakes with Kraft and Marshmallow Felt and layered them together. Love these snowflakes, they are gorgeous!
Here are the dies I used today:
All of the new products will be available for purchase on Thursday, October 4th at 8 am PST. You’ll find it all in the Fresh out of the Oven Department at the Taylored Expressions Store.
Be sure to join in on the fun as a fan on Facebook for an early peek at the stamp sets, as well as a SPECIAL Facebook GIVEAWAY, on Wednesday night beginning at approximately 6 pm PST.

I love how you did the little design papers behind the die just to give a little extra touch. Your cards are awesome.

I am always amazed at how you can combine the look of clean with the look of shabby like you did in the second card – love that. And your bouquet is beautifully colored on that first card – and very cool the way you filled in some of the die cut with patterned paper!
