Enchanted Ladybug Creations: Taylored Expressions

Hi all! And a Very Happy Thursday to you! 8-) Hope you all had a Wonderful week so far! 8-) Well, today I'm back with a quick post, to share my latest Taylored Expressions creation inspired by TE's Awesome New Simply Stamped - Pinecones Stamp set, TE's New Simpy Stamped - Pinecones Coordinating Dies & TE's previously released Frame in Frame Cutting Plate as well, to create these Sweet Christmas cards...8-)

I really had Lots of fun putting these festive rustic Holiday cards together! 8-) Sometimes it's just fun to get all inky with some good old fashioned stamping, ya know...? 8-) And I Love how quickly these came together too, since I am still in Christmas card stash replenishment mode, lol. I am hoping I will be able to come up with enough cards for the ever growing Christmas card list this year, lol... 8-)

I started off by stamping several of TE's Simply Stamped - Pinecones onto TE's Toffee Premium CS with the help Memento Desert Sand ink, then Brushed Corduroy Distress ink, then Memento Rich Cocoa and topped them off for the last stamped layers with Colorbox Frost White ink. I cut them all out with the help of TE's New Simply Stamped - Pinecones Coordinating Dies and Adhered them to my Focal Panel's Pine Boughs that were stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and Memento Bamboo Leaves ink for my Pine needles, then shaded with Antique Linen Distress ink.. All my Mats and BG layers were created with TE's Toffee Premium CS, TE's Frame in Frame Cutting Plate distressed with Vintage Photo Distress ink and TE's Cherry Pop Premium CS as well. To finish them all up I added my Simply Stamped - Pinecone bow die cuts, added a little shading with my trusty Copics and lastly stamped my Simply Stamped - Pincones Sentiments with Memento Tuxedo Black directly onto my Focal panels...8-)

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