today is day 1 of the taylored expressions february release sneak peek posts. this month there a 7 new stamp sets, 11 new craft die sets & 4 new cutting plates - and everything be available for purchase on thursday, february 6th at 7am pst.
my first sneak peek features the new stamp graphic greetings - st. paddy's day. after stamping the block of sentiments onto patterned paper i used a previously released label die from the label stacklets 7 set to frame a few of the sentiments. the little shamrock pops off the paper a bit for some added dimension.
here's a close-up of the shamrock - i stamped the image with green distress ink & colored it in with a copic marker. next i trimmed around the image leaving a bit of white around the border & added a gold glitter enamel dot to the center.
project #2 for today is a little treat sack using the new die set sack it - chick which coordinate with the previously released sack it to you die set. i added some grass for the little guy to sit in using the grass border die.
a side view of the chick - i used felt for his wings & feathers, polka dot cardstock for his beak & feet, his belly is vellum & enamel dots for his eyes. so he is made up of several differnet textures from my craft supply stash.
be sure to stop by the baker's dozen design team blogs for more sneak peeks of the taylored expressions february release.
