Peppermint

Taylored Expressions has a new Cardmaking Kit today and it is SWEET! This kit is called Candy Cane Lane and it is delightful–I love candy canes! 🙂 So let’s crank up the Holiday music and stay in from the heat to craft our little hearts out.

Eeeeeeeep! I am STRIPES #1 fun and so now when you mix stripes with Candy…. forget about it! I’m alllll in! Heather designed another fun one here FOR SURE!

I thought it would be fun if a critter was riding on the Candy Cane, so I pulled out this little Penguin from the Fluffy Friends Holiday and colored her with Copic Markers. I used the Holly and the Berries on the Candy Cane Sleigh and then used the Berries again to create her little hair bow with a Peppermint touch.

I created this shaker card using the Sweet Stripes Cutting Plate die (which can be purchased separately) and the previously released Inside Bracket Stacklets. I inset the Sweet Stripes Cutting Plate die with Red Pepper cardstock. This is my FAVORITE TE Red Cardstock.

I stamped the background with the little candy canes and such from the Seasonal Sentiments set and filled the shaker with the Bits & Pieces – Peppermints. (I also added in the Bits & Pieces – Clay Stars and Bits & Pieces – Snowflakes.) The little greeting is also from that set and the coordinating dies are in the kit for the sentiments. Love this font!

Next up, I thought it would be fun to create some stripes using the Easy Stripes Dies. So I laid those up on the Mint Julep card stock and die cut out the Peppermint Kisses candy canes.

I stamped a quick background again using the small stamps from the Seasonal Sentiments set and cut that would with the Petite Scallop Circle Stacklets. I embossed the larger circle and the card base using my Scoreboard and added some stitching. Love the way this turned out too. Such fun!

Some Cupcake holly leaves, Sugar Cube Berries, a bit of twine and voila! 🙂 Using the coordinating stencil would make these come together in bulk much faster for sure. Mmmmmm peppermint!

As always, do NOT forget the Envelope Seals. Eeeep! This is a fun kit–Christmas in July!!
