Release Day: Make it FANTASTICAL

December Release At a Glance

• It’s Petite-a-Palooza as we’ve introduce A DOZEN new Petite stamp sets, plus one new A la Carte, from every stamp collection available at Taylored Expressions.
• All of the new products are available for purchase today. Thursday, You’ll find it all in the Fresh out of the Oven Department at the Taylored Expressions Store.

My favorite set from the new release is cuppie and the unicorn from Simply Magical! I Immediately wanted to make my 9 year old a card kit. She’s been busy cutting and coloring and making lots of cards recently, so I know she’ll love this.

I started with a 8 1/2″ square wooden box that I got at JoAnn for $2.50. I covered the front with a cute piece of scrap paper from American Crafts.

My unicorn is colored with Copic Marker and accented with Viva Decor Pearl Pen – Cream. Since clouds are wispy, I didn’t need a smooth finish on my liquid pearly accent, just the pearl – so I sped the drying process with my heat gun. I wouldn’t recommend that on accent dots because the liquid does tend to bubble a bit as it’s drying with direct heat. 🙂 The piece is layered with Echo Park Dots and Stripes paper.

Here are the things I put inside the kit for my daughter to use:

• card bases and envelopes in white
• prestamped images on white Classic Rectangle die shapes
• prestamped sentiments on Favor Frame cut tags
• strips of pattered polka dot and striped paper in 3″ x6″ strips
• Cloud Die Duo cut pieces and heart punches
• buttons and rhinestones
• colored pencils

All of the little pieces fit into a little clear recycled container that I had in my stash, and this is what it looks like all tucked into the box.

Here’s my finished box ready to wrap and roll under the tree. My 9 year old will love this! Thanks to Taylor and artist, Jessie Olsen for making the cutest little set. Almost everything here came from my stash of crafting supplies, and at only $7.95 for the set, I can afford to let my daughter get messy with Simply Magical and have a great time!

I hope you’ve enjoyed the release week chatter and ideas. I’m off to check out the other girls creations (see links just below) and do a little shopping! Thanks so much for stopping by!
