Taylored Expressions January Sneak Peeks: A Lovely View and Sack it - Pig

Hello everyone and welcome to day 1 of the Taylored Expressions January Sneak Peeks!!! This is such a fun release...full of adorable stamp sets and dies for every occasion, especially Valentines Day!!! I always make lots of Valentines for my children and grands so I had a great time playing with all the new goodies!!! The January Release will be on Thursday, January 9th at 9:00 AM CST....all the new stamps and dies will be available for purchase at that time. Now, let me show you what I made for today!!!

My first card features a new stamp set called A Lovely View. I also used the new window die called Display Window and the previously released Window Accessories. The sweet image was colored with Copics and adhered to the back of the window opening. Another window was cut from a piece of brown card stock and added to the back of the white window a little off center for a shadow effect. The shutters and window box were  also cut from brown card stock and a white window box was added to the back for a shadow. 

The hearts are the negatives from the new Blooming Hearts Cutting Plate and the sentiment is also from A Lovely View. It was stamped with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. The punched ferns and a little sewing and distressing finishes it off. 

My second card is one of my favorites....I just love this Sack It - Pig!!! Instead of using the Sack It die to make a gift bag, I decided to make a card. The Sack It - Pig dies were cutout of different shades of pink card stock for the snout, Choice Black for the eyes, and pool party for the bows. The new Tag Stacklets 2 dies were used for the pig base and the Tag Reinforcement die was used around the tag hole for the Baker's Twine. 

A little sponging was done for the pigs cheeks and tiny white paper  dots were added 
for highlights. The sentiment from the new Sack it Sentiments set was stamped on Choice Snow White and cut out with the round die from the new Super Suckers Die set and the doily, sewing, and enamel heart shapes finish it off. 

Now, how about a little inspiration from the Baker's Dozen Design Team....their projects are going to blow you away!!!!!
