Stitched Alpha

It’s a fun release over at Taylored Expressions today! I am ALWAYS ready for an Crafty Essentials release and this one takes the cake! There are so many great tools now available–I need to hop over and grab a couple myself 🙂

This fun card features lots of new products that are released today–Starting with the Stitched Numbers Die Set. How fun is it to make your own sentiments and personalize them?

I had to laugh a few times over making this one! This card also features the new products: Polka Chic Background Stamp, Pinstripe 6×6 Background Stamp and Label Stacklets 15 Die Set. I stamped the Polka Chic Background Stamp in Dijon and then over top that, I stamped the Pinstripe 6×6 Background Stamp. I die cut it all out with the new Label Stacklets 15 Die Set and put vellum over it to tamper it all down a bit. Worked out swimmingly!

Previously release products already in the TE Catalog: Little Bits – Stars, Fanfare Cutting Plate and A2 Layer Stacklets. Such fun! I need a few of these to send out. Bwaaaaahaahaa! Love that the numbers now exist, as this is one of my favorite die sets!

Today Taylored Expressions is celebrating NEW COLORS! Be sure to hop over to Taylored Expressions and check out the new colors! The three new colors are Hot Fudge, Latte, and Sweet Corn! Love these new additions!

First up, I used all the the new inks with several already in the TE Collection:

The Plum Punch panel is embossed with the recently released Embossing Folder – Sketched Plaid. You cannot really tell in the photo, but it adds that little extra something in person. 🙂

I couldn’t decide which sentiment I should go with from the Mini Strips-Harvest set, so I took photos with both. I thought the Stretchy Pants was funny for Thanksgiving, but thought that Happy Thanksgiving is always a classic winner as well. I heat embossed those on the new Hot Fudge.

I Yam What I Yam is a cheeky, fun sentiment for Thanksgiving and I used the Stitched Alpha dies to customize for this giggle!

Putting the little strips of Sweet Corn on made it easier to align my sentiment. I love how this turned out with the Four Seasons Background Stamp & Stencil Combo background. That background is a DELIGHT for ANY season! Big fan! I made another panel using Latte as the Background stamp main color vs. Hot Fudge. It creates a lovely, softer feel. I hope I get it turned into another Thanksgiving card!

Next up, I really leaned into the Sweet Corn color–so that is the main color here with the others (Hot Fudge, Latte and Dragon Fruit) splashed in. I used the Wavy Stitch Stacklets before again using the recently released Embossing Folder – Sketched Plaid for the background panel.

This card also features the Berry Branch, Pop Sentiments, Medium Envelope, and the Love Letters Stamp & Die Combo. The monotone card is something you either like or don’t. I seem to be in a phase of loving it… nothing is too jarring and it all comes together. 🙂

I couldn’t decide if I wanted to add some splatters to the background, but I think in the end, it’s all good without them. Had I added them, I would have liked to do before adhering and stitching all the Berry Branches on for sure!

Be sure to check out the Holiday fun over at Taylored Expressions!
