today i'm sharing this fun easter tag i created with several taylored expressions craft dies. i started off with the floral eyelet border die & assembled the scene around it. my plan use the border die cut as a place for some little creature to sit on & decided that this bunny from the hippity hop set was the perfect fit.
using a floral eyelet border mask that i cut from scrap cardstock i inked the background with blue & green distress inks. then i assembled the little scene & gave the bunny a flower to hold & a crystal tail. the last detail i added was a few drops of glossy accents along the border & for the center of the flower.

today my first echo park paper project is up on the echo park paper blog. it is an intro post & includes this card i created with one of my favorite echo park collections from a few years back - everyday eclectic by allison kreft. to create the snowman i used the echo park snowman cut file from the silhouette design store. i cut all his little pieces in the file from different patterned papers then pieced him together. the little circle on top of his hat i cut by hand from felt & his eyes and mouth are tiny little rhinestones.

taylored expressions february release day is today - all of the new products we've been sharing sneaks of this week are now available in the te shop. my card today features new additions to the tag-a-long collection & the stacklets collection as well as a new te cutting plate.
starting with the big egg in the background - i die cut lollipop cardstock with the floral lattice cutting plate & adhered the positive cut to a piece of thin printer paper. then i die cut cookie monster & potato chip cardstocks with the cutting plate & used the little negative pieces to fill in the design. next i used one of the dies from the new egg stacklets set to die cut the egg shape from the design i had assembled with all the cutting plate pieces. and the little paper pieced bunny - he is one of the new images in the tag-a-long easter set.

today is day 3 of the taylored expressions february release sneak peeks - tomorrow all of the new products will be available in the te shop at 7am pst. also, don't forget that today you have one more chance to win a giveaway over on the te blog.
first up today is a st. patrick's day tag - the base of the tag was created with the new build a tag 3 die set. and a few other new die sets also make an appearance - the shamrocks were die cut with the new little bits - shamrocks die set & the tiny strip of rings is one of the five new border dies in the skinny mini borders 2 die set.
i was able to cut everything i needed for this tag with one pass through my cuttlebug. i used little scraps of paper from the double the fun 6x6 paper pack & rainbow brights 6x6 paper pack for the shamrocks. and that tiny little heart die cut from yesterday makes an appearance again today - this time with a coat of glitter on top.
it had been a while since i made a little sack using the sack it to you die set - so with the newest addition to the sack it collection i made this little lamb sack. the new sack it - lamb die set comes with all the little pieces needed to create this guy except for the bow. the bow is from the previously released die set mini mix & match bows.
being that i was putting together a little lamb it seemed appropriate to use te 100% wool felt for all of his pieces. for a stable sack base i used white textured cardstock - i applied just a bit of antique linen distress ink with an ink blending tool to the cardstock so that it would better match the marshmallow felt.

today is sneek peak day 2 of the taylored expressions february release which will be available for purchase on thursday, february 5th at 7am pst. also, don't forget that today you have another chance to win a giveaway over on the te blog.
my first card for today features a new craft die set called beauty lies within 2 & the new walking on sunshine embossing folder. the sentiment i chose for these tiny little birds is from the previously released sentiment set shade tree sentiments.
i started off with a white panel that i embossed with the embossing folder. then i die cut the birdie scene twice - once from pea pod cardstock & then again from a blue scrap of patterned paper. i trimmed just the birdies from the patterned paper die cut & placed them atop the green die cut. and that little pink heart - it's the smallest die cut heart i could find. it is the negative cut from one of the keys in the key to my heart die set.
next up is a calla lily bouquet for a special friend. the calla lily bouquet die is new this month & makes cutting out that vase of flowers super quick.
i took a paper piecing break & pulled out my copics for these flowers. i added just a bit of yellow to the flowers & a tiny bit of gray to the vase. a strip of woodgrain paper for a tabletop & then a few green 'bubbles' to finish it off.
