Taylored Expressions Release Day – Grumplings in Costume

It’s Release Day with Taylored Expressions!  This month we have lots of spooky goodness along with some daisies and a bit of southwestern flair. (I’ve had lots of fun!)

My cards today use Grumplings in Costume stamp set with coordinating dies as well as Wrought Iron Gate & Fence and new Halloween Build-a-Scene patterned paper.

There are two pre-printed scenes in the paper pack which allow for super quick and easy cards!

Here, I simply die-cut the Wrought Iron Gate & Fence from Oreo card stock then stamped and die-cut the Grumpling, coloring with Copic markers.

I added a thin dotted green strip (“grass”) from BAS Halloween paper pack and used a stamp positioner to break the sentiment into two lines (rather than four).

For my second card, I used another of the pre-printed scenes, adding bits of extra shading with gray Copic markers. I die-cut another Wrought Iron Fence, nipping off portions to fit inside the fireplace opening.

I used Glossy Accents to add bubbles around the wand and Banner Stacklets 1 to create the sentiment strip.

From Our Home to Yours – New Stamping Bella

Hi everyone! I am so excited to share my first sample of Stamping Bella‘s upcoming release scheduled for Monday, August 17.   We have new Tiny Townies, cute chickies and more! Today I’ve used Trimming the Tree.  I love these chicks!  They’re soooo cute! 🙂

The image was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with bright Copic markers.  I left small white areas uncolored as highlights.
