Day 3 - Happy Holiday Cardset - 31 Day Holiday Cheer CHallenge

Hi Everyone!

Today is the 4th day of my 31 day holiday challenge - how much fun it is to make holidays cards and get the holiday cheer on!

For today's card, I decided to create a card using the Campy Christmas stamp set from Taylored Expressions. This is such fun stamp set - SO super cute - Love all these cute little campy cars! I made one card using the little car carrying the tree over some snowy hills and then immediately wanted to make some more! I kept the layout simple so that it was quick and fun to assemble more cards together :)

I also added a fun banner of Christmas lights from the Share the Light stamp set and added some texture by crimping the hills using the Build A Scene - Rolling Hills dies and some texture from the Winter Flurries Embossing Folder.

 Here is a side-view of the card - I just love the texture and fun colors with lots of white from the background and hills - a great CAS card that is quick to make:

 Card Ingredients:
 Stamps: Campy Christmas stamp set and Share the Light stamp set from Taylored Expressions
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black and Love Letter inks
Papers: Sweet Basil cardstock , Salt Water Taffy cardstock and Sugar Cube cardstock

Day 2 - Merry Christmas - 31 Day Holiday Cheer Card Challenge

Hi Everyone!

Yesterday I thought that I would start my own holiday challenge for myself - make a card every day for 31 days and post it all with the theme of holiday cheer!

Today is the second day of my challenge and I decided to create a card using the Sparkle and Cheer stamp set from Taylored Expressions. I wanted to be able to create lots of cards with a simple and lovely template that felt I could mass produce to send to loved ones over the holidays. This was really a fun and quick way to make a ton of cards:

Here is another view of the card - I added a banner to the top of the card using the Party Banner die and liquid pearls and some glitter with a tiny bling on the birdie for some fun and holiday cheer and sparkle! :) 

 Card Ingredients:
 Stamps: Sparkle and Cheer stamp set from Taylored Expressions
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black and Love Letter inks
Papers: Sweet Basil cardstock and Sugar Cube cardstock
Accessories: Sheet Music Embossing Folder, Oval nesties, Oval scalloped nesties, Party Banner Border, liquid pearls and chunky glitter. 

I love the Sheet Music Embossing folder - it is so crisp and adds such a fun festive flair! I have really been enjoying this challenge so far - can't wait to make another one for tomorrow!

Thank you so much for stopping by and please hop by tomorrow if you have a chance!

Merry Hugs!
Sankari :)

Day 1 - Winter Wonderland card set - 31 Days of Holiday Cheer Challenge

Hi Everyone!

I thought it would be fun to create a challenge to make and post a holiday card every day for the next 31 days! The holidays are right around the corner and I thought that it would be fun to make a holiday card or two everyday! So if you want to join - please do and let me know where I can see your holiday cards!!

Today is my first day of the challenge and my last day will be the first day of the New Year! For my card today - I decided to create a set of cards that I am calling the Winter Wonderland card set using the Ready, Set, Snow! stamp set from Taylored Expressions:

 Card Ingredients:
 Stamps: Ready, Set, Snow! stamp set from Taylored Expressions
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black and copics
Papers: Salt Water Taffy and Sugarcube cardstock from TE
Accessories: Turquoise grosgrain ribbon, button, white gel pen, corner chomper,  Make A Snowflake set of dies,  Snow Globe die,  Snowfall Embossing Folder

I love all the images from this stamp set - its so hard to pick one - so I made a card with all of them!! I used the awesome Snow Globe die from TE to create a little mini scene in the snowglobes and embossed the Sugarcube cardstock with the Snowfall Embossing Folder: 

Here is one with a bunny pulling little baby bunnies in a sled --- doesn't that make your heart just go AWWWW!!! They are soooo cute!!! I can't wait to go sledding with my bunnies soon (and by bunnies I mean my kids - just in case you might think that I go sledding with real bunnies - which could be fun too :)!

 Here is another one using the image of this sweet little Fox - he is just adorable --- and yes, the song about what the fox says was playing in my mind while I was coloring this cutie!

I LOVE this little penguin - OMGosh! SO cute!! I actually made two cards using this little guy - adorable! For each card I added a little snowflake from the Make A Snowflake set of dies  and then added a little button to the center:

 Each of the cards was embossed with the Snow Fall Embossing Folder and then adhered to a Salt Water Taffy cardstock from TE - this is probably one of my favorite new colors - it is SO soft and feels like it goes with everything!! LOVE all the new TE cardstock - they are heavy and stand up so well! You can check out all the colors here! Here is another card using the sweet little snowman image - he is adorable!

There are other so many other TE stamp sets like Baby, It's Cold Outside!  and Penguin Pals that also coordinate with the Snow Globe die - perfect for holiday card making!

Thanks so much for joining me today! Please hop over tomorrow for more holiday cheer!
Hugs and Warm Cocoa,
Sankari :)

Wine a Little - it Helps!

Hi Everyone!

Hope you had a lovely wonderful holiday and were surrounded by family and friends! There are so many things to be thankful for and so many people, events and precious moments to raise our glasses up to in cheers! In the spirit of that, here is a fun little card created using the Wine a Little stamp set along with the Wine and Dine coordinating dies from Taylored Expressions: 

I stamped the wine glass and colored it with copics and then stamped the bottle with some Pear Tart ink and cut it out with the Wine and Dine dies.  I love the sentiment - it is hilarious! I have a friend that I know will LOVE getting this card! Here is a closer look at this card:

Jingle All the Way!

Hi Everyone,

I had so much fun creating this card using the Taylored Expressions Pinterest boards as my inspiration. Sometimes its hard to know how to get started making a card - it can seem so daunting! These boards are such a wonderful place to start when you don't know where to start or just to scroll thru for endless hours to see all the amazing cards the DT has made!! For my card today, I made mine inspired by Stephanie's beautiful card!

I absolutely love the sweet candy stripes with the sentiment and so I kept the layout and everything the same, but changed up the holly at the bottom for some snowflakes (one snowflake from the Mitten Garland die set and one from the Winter Wonderland snowflake set. The main sentiment is die cut using the Jingle All the Way die and I adhered it to the music sheet embossed using the Sheet Music embossing folder on some Salt Water Taffy paper. Stephanie had some awesome stitching on the sides of her card and since I am not very good with a sewing machine, I used some liquid pearls around the card:

 Here is a closer peek at the details of the card - love how crisp these die cuts and embossing folders are:

 I loved making this card so much that I made two more using the same layouts and papers from the Matched Kit: Gingerbread Lane from Taylored Expressions:

Card Ingredients:
Papers: Matched Kit: Gingerbread Lane from Taylored Expressions and Salt Water Taffy paper
Taylored dies and embossing folder:  Jingle All the Way die , Mitten Garland die set , Winter Wonderland snowflake set, Sheet Music embossing folder. 
Accessories: Liquid pearls, buttons, baker's twine, foam tape

I loved making these cards on a snowy day - gets me right into the spirit of the season! Check out all the Taylored Expressions Pinterest boards for inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hugs,
Sankari :)
