Taylored Expressions January Sneak Peek! 8-)

Hi All! And a Very Happy Monday to you! Welcome to our January Sneak Peeks! 8-) We have lots of Fun inspiration to share Today through Thursday.  All of the new products will be available for purchase on Tuesday, January 8th at 8 am PST. You'll find it all in the Fresh out of the Oven Department at the Taylored Expressions Store.

Today I am sharing a Couple of Fun Projects and the first one features the Brand New Super Cute Valentine Doodles set  which is a follow up set and coordinates with the Previously released Doodle Notes set and also with the previously released Notepaper & Clipboard Dies, Library Pocket Die, Notepaper Border Die, Library Card A la Carte, Grid Paper A la Carte, Notepaper A la Carte too! Wowie! How Cool is that! lol 8-) Personally I just LOVE having so many coordinating sets to build on! Makes it so Fun and Easy to create 'One of a Kind' projects! The possibilities are endless... 8-)
Can I just tell you I Absolutely Adore Valentines Day!! 8-)  It's my 2nd Favorite holiday to create for, Christmas being my 1st, lol 8-)  I Love to make little goodies and cards covered with lots of little hearts and filled with Love to brighten friends and family members day!  Lets just say I am a Romantic at heart! lol So When I saw this New Set, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it! I made some Darling Lollipop holders to pass out to everyone!  8-)... I stamped my Sweet little Valentine Doodles with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White CS, colored them up with my trusty Copics and added my fluffy clouds with my Cloud Border Die Cut template, Victorian Velvet Distress ink and a small stippling brush.  I fussy cut them out and popped them up with a bit of foam tape onto SB Scallop Square die cuts that I adhered to our Brand New Sweet little 3x3 Tuck & Close Notecard Die Cuts.
My mats and BG layers are a combination of Kraft CS  textured with TE's Hearts Impression Plate, & some Pretty Bazzil CS from our New Love Letters Project Pantry kit. To finish it all up added a bit of glittered heart confetti here and there, embellished the back with Sweet die cut hearts from our Brand New Cupid's Arrow Die Set, punched a little hole at the bottom of my notecards for the lollipop stick, closed them up and added a glue dot for good measure and tied them all up with some pretty coordinating ribbon from my stash!..8-)

Next up I am featuring the Darling New Stuck On You set! These Sweet Hedgies are just the Cutest Ever, and I decided to coordinate them with the Brand New 3x3 Scalloped Notecard Die! So much Fun! 8-) 
Aren't they the Sweetest! 8-)  So you can totally see, I am such a Sucker for Hearts & Valentines! lol ;-) I created these with, the Fun little Valentines we used to give out as kids, in mind, lol. I stamped my Sweet little Stuck on You Hedgies with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White CS, colored them up with my trusty Copics. I fussy cut them out and popped them up with a bit of foam tape.
 
My mats and BG layers are a combination of Choice Buttercream CS cut out with the New 3x3 Scalloped Notecard Die & Pretty Bazzil CS and Bo Bunny dp's from our New Love Letters Project Pantry kit. To finish them all up added Sweet die cut hearts from our Brand New Cupid's Arrow Die Set, and a  bit of ribbon also from the New Love Letters Project Pantry kit..8-)
So Cute! & they will fit perfectly into our Brand New 3x3 Envelopes too! 8-)

  24. Shannon, I think the lollipop holders are such a brilliant idea! :-D Cute little cards, too. As many years as it's been since I was in school, I still miss the exchange of Valentines we did back then. Now that I make Valentine cards only for my grandkids, I don't really focus as much attention on them as on some of the other holidays. But I do love your enthusiasm for hearts and love and wonderful Valentines. Hugs
