It's RELEASE DAY today for Taylored Expressions! WOO HOOOO! This means that all the new products for January are available for purchase TODAY! (Click here for the Fresh out of the Oven Section where you'll find everything new in one place). There are so many great things this month...I think you need to buy it all!
Today I'm featuring the Valentine 2013 Project Pantry Kit and some of the new dies. I also used the sentiment from the "Hugs and Kisses" stamp set. I went a little bit crazy Shabby Chic with this one, as I have been known to do! I always think of Valentine's Day as so romantic, with lace, and hearts and roses. So as soon as I saw the PP kit, I knew I had to make a sweet Valentine.
The papers and ribbon are all from the PP kit. I added a doily, some crochet ribbon and some pearls... Ooh la la! I just kept adding layers to my center focal piece and here's how it turned out. I distressed it and crinkled it a bit to look old. I think that polka dot ribbon is divine...
Here are all the die pieces from the "Cupid Arrow Dies" set and the "Key to my Heart" set. My little hearts are actually the centers of some of the keys! How much fun are we going to have with these?
I hung my little lock and key from a jump ring on my center piece. This way it dangles and gives the card some movement. This is one of my favorite tricks.
Okay, here's your linky list for Release Day. The whole Baker's Dozen Team has great things for you to look at to get ideas for your new products! Have a fabulous day!
