Not only is today World Card Making Day, but it is also release day for Taylored Expressions! Three brand new sets, a new Key Ingredients Kit, and a coordinating bundle!
You've seen peeks for Christmas Blessings and Wings of Joy...and today the Baker's Dozen DT is sharing projects made with the new Holiday Wonder set (the latest in the Stamp a Sweet Impression line)!
There are so many fun images in this set (including a super cute mini cuppie), but I had envisioned this card from the moment I saw this set! I paper pieced the tree (using some Cosmo Cricket Jolly By Golly patterned paper from the Christmas Key Ingredients kit). I created some "snowy" hills by stitching on some strips of Choice Buttercream cardstock to a Kraft c.s. base (with snowflakes stamped in Versamark). I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then added some piercing around the edge of my main layer. The simplicity of this card was just so appealing to me, so I didn't want to add to many embellishments (GASP!!! Can you believe it??!!)! LOL! I decided on a couple of coordinating buttons (included in the Christmas Bundle) and a bit of Ivory Flower Soft on the trees.
To celebrate the World Card Making Day holiday Taylor is offering:
- a FREE download of a digi stamp for the back of your cards!! You can read all about it (and download them) over at Taylor's blog!
- for today only, a FREE card kit (to create this card) will be included with all purchases at the Taylored Expressions store!
- WCMD challenge (and PRIZE :-) over at the Stamp a Sweet Impression Blog (hurry, because the deadline is Sunday night)!
If that wasn't enough fun...Taylor is also having a sale on the two original Holiday release stamp sets (from October of 2008)! Both Home Sweet Home & Season's Sweetings are 25% off now through October 5th! Here are a couple of cards that I created last year with these sets...
