Today I am featuring Peaceful Poinsettias! Peaceful Poinsettias is an elegant set that gives you options for both open line and solid stamping to create beautiful layered poinsettias, along with heartfelt sentiments. The coordinating die set makes building these Christmas beauties a snap! It is a full sized set on a 5.75" x 8.5" full color sturdy storage panel and has 16 images and sentiments - $21.95. It was illustrated for the Whimsical Wishes line, by Nancy McKinney.
Today's projects are wrapping paper, a gift tag, and a card that all match beautifully and would be so elegant to give to that special someone. I haven't made my own wrapping paper in a long time - forgot how fun that is! You can buy rolls of plain wrapping paper at craft stores...and DIY!
To coordinate with Peaceful Poinsettias, there is the Poinsettia Taylored Die Set - 5 dies! I used it for my projects today and it made everything a breeze! Don't you love those layers? YAY! I am all about the matching dies for stamps! I love how Taylor does this.
I also used Banner Holiday which is the perfect holiday sentiment set! LOTS of goodies in this post! Banner Holiday coordinates with the popular It’s a Banner Day 1,2,&3 sets originally concepted by Iwona Palamountain - you can use the banner frame images from these sets and the matching dies! Banner Holiday was designed and illustrated by Taylor VanBruggen for the *te* collection. It is a mini set on a sturdy 4.75" square CD sized full color panel - includes 15 holiday sentiments - $12.95
When you want to bake up a yummy dessert you head to your pantry for the ingredients. When you want to create a sweet papercrafting project, you can head to our Project Pantry for all the coordinating elements. Taylored Expressions is offering our Basic Recipe Kit along with optional Spice It Up Ingredients that you can pick and choose from to build the kit just the way you want it. For my projects today I used the Holiday Wonder Project Pantry - Basic Recipe Kit!

Looks like you are all set for the holidays - complete with lovely card (love that musical patterned paper!), gift with handmade wrapping paper (FABULOUS idea! Love it!) and adorable little tag as well. The poinsettia looks so pretty layered on your card and the sparkly center is a terrific touch.
