Taylored Expressions Release Party!


Today is THE day to see all the new Taylored Expressions stamp sets, Key Ingredients, and stamp set bundles! I have had the most fun creating samples for you this week and one of my absolute favorite projects is this little potion bottle set with matching card. Aren't these bottles fun? Punchy Potions is the final new set from Taylored Expressions this month - all 4 sets are available right now! Punchy Potions is designed to fit these cute little potion bottles perfectly, even the cork toppers! Wouldn't these potion bottles be perfect for teacher gifts or Halloween parties? They are so easy to assemble. I stamped the oval and cork topper images on a sticker sheet and colored them with Copic Markers and then stuck them right onto the bottles and cork toppers - SO easy! The bottles are filled with Halloween M&M's and I had to fight off my kids because they were attacking me for these M&M treats! You would think I never feed them! LOL!!

This set also has it's own Punchy Potions Bundle:
  • Punchy Potions stamp set
  • 3 Potion Bottles
  • 5 sheets of sticker paper
  • Spellbinders Classic Ovals large
Yes - that IS right - you get Nestabilities with this bundle!! One of my all time favorite tools I use.


On to my card - I'm using the Halloween Key Ingredients again for this card, and why not - it's perfect for the season! I started of by once again stamping the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloring it in with those simply marvelous Copic Markers. This image reminds me of the book, Wicked. Have you read it? I loved it - is she a good witch or a bad witch? Or just misunderstood and forced to make a tough decision? Hmmm.... that is the question. I added some rhinestones around the edge of the oval and then added one of the brads included in the Halloween Key Ingredients to the top corner of the card. Everything on this card is from the Halloween KI except for the rhinestones. Pretty fun, no?

Alright, that's all I have for you today, but be sure to pop on by Stamp A Sweet Impression soon - the challenges have begun and you can enter to win big! Today is the big Taylored Expressions Birthday Bash!!

The rest of the Baker's Dozen has lots more eye candy for you today - be sure to say Trick or Treat!
