Taylored Expressions Season of Crafting—Cutting Plates!

Hi Friends! Happy Monday! Today’s TE Season of Crafting promotion is all about cutting plates!

I’m sharing two mini slim candy cane lane/peppermint themed cards using the Mini Slim Diagonal Stripes Cutting Plate and the Mini Slim Circle Window Cutting Plate.

Ho, Ho, Ho Merry Christmas!! For the Mini Slim Diagonal Candy Cane card, I cut the cutting plate from Cherry Pop and Sugar Cube card stock. The sentiment is from the Fill in the Blank-Christmas Cling and Clear Combo that I stamped in Cherry Pop and then added a stamped and colored St. Nick image. The sentiment was adhered to the panel at an angle for a landscape mini slim. To finish the card, I added a Christmas Simple Strip in Cherry Pop and White Embossing Powder.

Special Delivery from the North Pole. For the Peppermint Mini Slim Card I used the Candy Cane Stripes stencil to add Cherry Pop Ink to the Mini Slim Circle Window cutting plate. I colored all the Christmas Little Critter [Santa, Elf and Mrs. Claus] images with Copics and positioned them into the circle opening and framed them with Cherry Pop and Poblano Pepper Circle Window Frames.

For a little extra Christmas Pop I created a holiday wreath around the Elf with red Tiny Diamonds. To finish the card, I added a Red Foiled In-Reverse Christmas Simple Strip and a thin cutting plate frame in Cherry Pop around the outer edge of the card design.
