i'm back for day 2 of the taylored expressions november sneak peeks. i have two projects to share today using new dies - bottled up & rock on - which will be available in the te shop on thursday.

my first project uses the bottled up die and coordinates with the wine suite of products new this month. i decided to mix it up a bit and show that the die is useful for any bottled gift - such as a soda bottle full of flowers.

 

here's a close-up of the tag. i used the cork sheet again and die-cut it with one of the new label stacklets 7 dies. to add rays to the sun - because stamping yellow ink on cork doesn't work too well - i hand stitched with embroidery floss.

 

and my second project features the rock on dies that coordinate with the you're my hero stamp set. and that 3x4 photo frame - it's part of the pockets & pages line of products new this month.

 

here's a close-up shot of my card. you can see that i heat embossed the image on black patterned paper then die-cut. the die is open in the middle so super easy to line up with the embossed image. i also heat embossed the blue splatters in the corner. oh, and the microphone cord - that's a bit of leather cording i found in the bead section of my local craft store.

What a genius idea to use the wine tag die for a bottle full of flowers, Courtney...love the cork label!!! Your card is fabulous, too...the washi tape looks great and how cool is that microphone cord!!!!!

These are darling, Courtney! Love how you used the tag to decorate the flowers! And your card is so fun with the microphone cord!
