It’s TE’s sixth birthday!
· To celebrate, along with new stamps and dies, we are releasing our very own line of patterned paper and coordinating cardstock, as well as our own Embossing Folders.
· Visit the TE Blog for a fun sketch challenge with a $250 prize gift certificate.
To celebrate our 6th year, we've designed a special party favor, Think Happy Thoughts. This petite stamp set includes a very "happy" coordinating die and will be FREE with orders over $50 beginning on September 11th - September 21st. One free set per customer, while supplies last.
My first card featured the Hello sentiment from the Insentive set, Think Happy Thoughts. It was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto the blue cardstock piece. The cute little critter from the new Party Grumblings set was colored with Copics, cutout with the coordinating die, and popped up with foam tape.
The background Choice Kraft cardstock was embossed with the new TE Harlequin Embossing Folder and sponged with a kraft colored ink. The green cardstock panel was embossed with the new TE Lots of Dots Embossing Folder and the button and twine finish it off.
My next project features the adorable Little Bits - Halloween Scene dies which include a pumpkin, spider, bat, and 2 tombstones. Every year I make Halloween cards for all my Grands (and a few others, too) so I was really excited to show you lots of fun designs......I just had to do a little Halloween decorating, too!!!
Little Bits - Ghosts, Little Bits - Witches Hat, Little Bits - Haunted House and the Little Bits of Halloween stamp set for the sentiments were also used. The previously released Scalloped Notecard die was used to cutout all the card bases from Choice Black cardstock and the new Matched Hocus Pocus 6x6 paper pack and cardstock were also used on all the cards.
The Little Bits - Ghosts were cutout of both Choice Snow White and TE's Oreo....the black diecut was split up the middle and adhered to the back of the white ghost to create a shadow on both sides. Matched Hocus Pocus Sequins and twine finish it off.
The Little Bits - Haunted House and the bat from the Spooky Tree Accessories die set were cutout of the Matched Hocus Pocus 6x6 paper pack ...the windows and door were colored with Copics and the tombstones from the Little Bits - Halloween Scene die set were cutout of TE's Oreo cardstock.
The pumpkins from the Little Bits - Halloween Scene die set were cut out of TE's Candy Corn cardstock and googly eyes were added. The bats from the same set were cut out of the Matched Hocus Pocus 6x6 paper pack.
Eek!!!! Aren't these spiders fun!!!! They were cutout of Oreo cardstock with the spider die from the Little bits - Halloween Scene die. I love how they have the holes for the eyes so you can see the white from the background!!
The cute little witches hats were cut out of TE's Oreo cardstock and the bands and buckles were cut out of TE's Jelly Donut, Pumpkin, and Granny Smith cardstock... the Hocus Pocus Matching Sequins and twine are the finishing touches.
