For my Project today, I thought I'd share a sweet Halloween Gift set I created for one of my Bestest Buds featuring TE's Darling Totally Tags Halloween stamp set! I just Love these Super Cute Tag images and they are so versatile too! Perfect for 3x3 notecards, for decorating gift tins, and even for creating fun wine glass charms too! Can you tell I had lots of fun putting this Spooktacular gift set together?...8-)

I created my 3x3 gift card with TE's Bracket Notecard Die, TE's Choice Black CS, Bazzill CS, TE's Totally Tags Halloween Stamp set, Totally Tags Dies Doodlebugs Halloween Parade 6x6 collection & a bit of foam tape for some fun dimension! I used my Groovy Tombow dual brush pen set and my trusty Copics to color up my little ghosties and Tombow's permanent adhesive runner made it Super quick and easy to put everything together too! 8-) 
My Gift Holder/Small Hinged Tin was decorated with the same stamps, dies and patterned papers, along with the help of TE's Gift Card Frame Die, American Crafts Grape glitter tape and some ribbon from my stash...
I created my Adorable Wine Glass Charms by stamping my Totally Tags Halloween images with Staz-On Jet Black ink onto white shrink plastic and colored them up with a combination of Tombows Groovy Dual Brush Pen set and my trusty Copics too. Once my charms were all shrunk down and ready to go, I strung them up along with some pretty coordinating beads onto wire wine charm rings purchased from my local Michaels. I sure hope she likes them!...8-)

Here's the Awesome Prize package that's up for grabs!... 8-)

Taylored Expressions October Studio Challenge! 8-)

Hi All & a Very Happy Tuesday to you! 8-) It's time for the Baker's Dozen Studio Challenge.  This is a monthly opportunity for the Taylored Expressions team to share what makes our stamping studios hum.  Each month we  have a fun, crafty question so we can share our favorites, some tips and tricks, stamping advice and more.


The theme for October is: 
Never Felt Better!!
Felt is all the rage in crafting.  It's so thick and soft and gives that special warm and cozy feeling to fall and winter projects.  TE has 21 yummy colors to choose from, but do you ever just stare at all that felt and think, "Hmmmm...what should I do with it?"
Designers, show us a fun  project featuring felt.
OMGoodness what a Fun Challenge!! I LOVE felt, and have a bunch of it on hand, And I really don't use it as much as I'd like, lol So You know I am super excited for our projects today! So much so that I actually made 2 different ones! Yay! 8-)  It definitely does lend a warm cozy feeling to each project that I do use it on though!! And I am really Loving TE's Taylored felt for sure! It comes in all kinds of yummy colors and cuts soo easily, just like 'Butta'!! ;-)
Well I decided to keep my projects pretty simple so the felt die cuts would be the stars of the show!...8-) So on my first one I thought I'd use TE's Very Merry Outlines Dies for my Holly Leaves & my sentiment is stamped from TE's Peppermint Place Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black.
My Mats and BG layers were created with TE's Choice Kraft CS, TE's Choice ButterCream CS, TE's QuatreFoil Cutting Plate ( for my embossed BG) and TE's New 'Tis the Season Project Pantry Kit. To finish them all up I just added fun  little buttons all tied up with some Natural Burlap Twine... 8-)

Next up I thought I'd feature some Fun Felt Snowflakes created with TE's Make a Snowflake Dies...8-)
My sentiments are stamped from TE's Rejoice Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black onto layered Label Stacklets 2 Die Cuts.
My Mats and BG layers were created with TE's Choice Kraft CS, TE's Choice ButterCream CS, TE's Snowflake Cutting Plate ( for my embossed BG) and TE's New Bundled Up Project Pantry Kit
To finish them all up I just added fun little gems and a touch of shading with Colorbox's Frost White ink.... 8-)

We have lots more Amazing Goodies in store for you this morning, so hop on over and see... 8-)


Here are the items I used for my projects today...
