Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek | Day 1

Good morning!  The Baker's Dozen Design Team is hosting a pre-release peek of all the new Taylored Expressions sets and dies that will be available in the TE Store Thursday, October 4th!  Woot!  Taylor is throwing a special Preview Party over on the TE Facebook Page on Wednesday, October 3rd at 6PM PDT - there are prizes available, so you will definitely want to join in on all the fun!

I'm featuring 2 stamp sets today, the first is Rejoice which is a beautiful Christmas sentiment set of 13 cling-mount rubber stamps.  Rejoice is the next set in the Lasting Impressions line of stamps.

I paired Rejoice with the new Holly Cutting Plate and Label Stacklets 1 dies.  The Holly Cutting Plate is a large die, which makes this ornate 4" x 5.25" background.  I stamped the sentiment in Colorbox Dark Brown Ink and then cut it out with the Label Stacklets 1 die and then added a few snowflakes from the Let it Snowflake die set. 

My second card features A Bushel & a Peck, which is a fabulous set of 25 images and sentiments designed for year-round card making.  Doug Applegate illustrated this darling set for the Apple Doodle Ink line of stamps. 

I chose to make a card for fall, my absolute favorite season.

I stamped the wheel barrow in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then masked off the top so I could stamp the pumpkins over it in order to give it the illusion the pumpkins are sitting inside the wheel barrow.  I colored it all with Copic Markers.  I used Jen Shults' DS69 for the layout and the patterned papers are Indie Chic Citron 6x6 from My Mind's Eye.
