Taylored Expressions Black Friday Blog Hop


Hello everyone...I am super excited today because I was asked my Taylor to participate in her Black Friday Blog Hop today...Whoohoo!!!

Her challenge to us was to decorate her Perfect Package to hold a set of cards or use it to wrap a holiday gift you’ll be giving this season!

I used the darling images from Taylored Expressions Wings of Joy set to decorate the Perfect Package and the cards. The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics.



The tree on the Perfect Package was cutout and attached with foam tape. The birds and ornaments were all stamped twice, colored, cutout, and popped up. Taylor's Tiny Twinkles were added for a little glam. Glitter was added to the large birds hat and the Tiny Twinkles were added to the snowflake. The paper is SEI's Chocolate Mint and the Wild Wasabi ribbon, buttons, Spellbinder's scalloped border and the silver cording finish it off.





I made four cards to add to the box...this is going to a very special person as a thank you for bring sooo wonderful to me and my family!!

The stockings on this card were popped up and Taylors Tiny Twinkles were added to the centers.

The sentiment was stamped on the Spellbinder's die shape and the Wild Wasabi ribbon and Spellbinder's scallop border finish it off.





I used the same colors, papers, and embellies on all the cards but tried to come up with different designs.

The last three cards use more of the SEI Chocolate Mint patterned paper...this is my new favorite paper (sorry Eskimo Kisses!!)!!!

Large red rhinestones were used on the holly berries and Tiny Twinkles on the sentiment die.

White Flower Soft was added to the bird house and May Arts silk ribbon was added to the bottom two cards.
