Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I’m so excited to share our big annual Christmas release with you! There’s something special about sitting down with festive stamps, dies, and a little sparkle, dreaming up cards and handmade gifts for the people we love and care about. I hope this new collection inspires you to make something beautiful, enjoy a little creative time for yourself, and share that Christmas joy with someone who could use a smile. Let’s get festive! 🎄✨

I do need to apologize .... I sent my projects in to Taylored Expressions before I got professional photos of them so down below you'll only see my In-Process photos. If I can snag photos off the Taylored Expressions website I'll do that and drop them into this Post.

In the meantime I had a little fun over the weekend playing with the Gift With Purchase ~ Piece of Winter cutting plate ~ to create these two little beauties!

Here's how these cards came together: Using a piece of watercolor cardstock, a piece of large bubble bubble-wrap, and TE watercolors in Cookie Monster, Tiki Mule & Rock Candy I blotted ink all over the panel until I had it just right. I then let it dry completely then added some silver splatter using TE's Watercolor Metallic set and a paintbrush I keep on hand just for splatters.

Using the new Piece of Winter cutting plate I cut the watercolor inked panel as well as cut a piece of TE's new Diamond Glitter Cardstock then pieced them together to create these 2 wintery and festive cards!

Here are a few In-Process photos I took while putting these cards together. And to be honest, I should have taken a picture of my hands ... I had blue fingers for the better part of 2 days because I didn't wear gloves 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

The great thing about getting all INKY is that I now have an extra watercolor inked panel to make another card! So if you want to do it smarter than me, use a full sheet of watercolor cardstock so you have 4 card panels AND use gloves ☺️

As promised and for your viewing pleasure, here are those other project In-Process photos for you.
