today i am sharing a birthday card created with the newest addition to the if _____ could talk collection - if balloons could talk. on this card you also get a glimpse of the new little bits - sequins confetti die & a new addition to the te premium ink collection - pink champagne.



my smiling birthday balloon was stamped & paper pieced then assembled onto the coordinating die cut which i cut from cookie monster cardstock. the fun new sequins are a favorite of mine this month - they were die cut from potato chip cardstock. as i mentioned - more new ink colors this month! i added the pink champagne ink to the corner of my scene with an ink blending tool.

today i am sharing one more halloween card i created for the taylored expressions august release. my card features the new gone batty stamp & die combo. i paper pieced the little bat with a few patterned paper scraps from the new playful patterns - haunted 6x6 paper pack & assembled all the pieces atop the coordinating die cut which was cut from oreo cardstock.

to help create the halloween scene i die cut a few spooky clouds from patterned paper & die cut the little bits - candy corn that my bat is holding on to. the sentiment is from the stamp & die set & was stamped with the new earl grey premium dye ink.

this week is taylored expressions august release week & today is all about halloween treat packaging! all new products will be available for purchase thursday, august 4th at 7am pdt. and today there is a question of the day over on the te blog...

taylored expressions is celebrating release week with some fabulous giveaways. visit the te blog each sneak peek day this week to answer Taylor’s Question of the Day for a chance to win a prize from the latest release!

today i am sharing this pair halloween treat holders created with the previously released test tube caddy craft die & a couple of new halloween themed little bits die sets. and for a bit of added interest i pulled out a couple of te embossing folders.


behind each test tube i added a strip of embossed cardstock using the new fright night flight embossing folder & the previously released tangled webs embossing folder. the embossed cardstock strip is a super quick & easy way to add a bit of dimension & interest to each caddy.


i assembled the new little bits - cauldron & little bits - spider & web die cuts & then added a touch of glitter to the brewing potion & the spider. to help create the two little scenes i used the log die cut from the new by the fireside die set & i used a bit of white thread to hang the spider from his web. the "eek!" sentiment is new this month & is from the boo to you sentiment set. the "boo" sentiment is from the previously released peek-a-boo pumpkins stamp set.

to create my 'halloween test tube treats' i used the following supplies available in the te shop:

Boo to You	Peek-A-Boo Pumpkins	By the Fireside	Little Bits - Cauldron	Little Bits - Spider & Web
Test Tube Caddy	Embossing Folder - Fright Night Flight	Embossing Folder - Tangled Webs	TE Premium Cardstock - Earl Grey	TE Premium Cardstock - Oreo
