Hi folks!

It's release day at Taylored Expressions and I have so many awesome cards to share with some of the latest products. This is their biggest release yet with more than 40 products and I can truly say that I LOVE critters now! Without further ado.. let's get started!

My first card uses a bunch of new products along with the new Gus and Gertie Christmas themed stamp set. I first stamped and colored multiple images from the stamp set using alcohol markers. I then added highlights and shadows using colored pencils and a white gel pen. For the word "Merry', I masked and stamped each letter in Fruit Punch, Pumpkin, Peapod, Cilantro and Lime Zest Ink. I added highlights and shadows to the words as well just like my stamped images. For the background, I used the newly released Candy Cane Stripes stencil and ink blended using Lime Zest and Guava. I then lightly ink blended on top using the same colors and added splatters using white paint. Although this stencil is meant for a mini slimline card, it's still great for A2 cards! I then finished my card by adding a 'Christmas' sentiment from the new on-repeat stamp set.

Supply List:

My next card shows you another way to use the Pennant Parade stamp set with a critter by stamping the top 3/4  of the card so that you have space at the bottom to add sentiments, critters etc. I stamped the banners using Sprinkles, Mint Julep and Granny Smith ink and ink blended the bottom half of the panel using Cookie Monster and Granny Smith. As always, I added splattered some white paint. I finished it off with a critter from the new Merry Millie stamp set and added a sentiment from Tag Team - Christmas to make a mini Christmas Party scene!
