I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends, we sure did. For the first time in a long time we had everybody in the same place at the same time. A perfect day for sure.
Well the Christmas Season officially begins today, and no better way to start then with a SALE….. And that’s exactly what Taylor of Taylored Expressions is offering you today.. A great sale.
In honor of Black Friday and Cyber Monday (the two biggest shopping days of the year!), Taylored Expressions is offering 15% off everything in the store! Just use the promotional code TEBlackFriday upon checkout to receive the discount. You don't want to miss up to 50% off all JustRite products, Buy 2 Get 1 Free on Tiny Twinkles, and the new TE Shirts & Aprons!
For my project today I wanted to share with you the Perfect Package Card Box from Taylored Expressions. We were to decorate the card box to hold a set of cards, or use it to wrap a holiday gift we would be giving this season. But, I decorated tags, and will be using the box as my tag holder/gift. I’m stuck on tags this season, I think they are the perfect finishing touch on any present (bottle of wine), LOL!!
After measuring your cardstock to fit your box, take your Distress Inks, and distress all edges of your cardstock then heat set gold embossing powder. Cut and emboss the flower, and assemble as shown. I used the tags that came in the 12 x 12 Christmas Past package to make the tags, and added embellishments.
Be sure and visit the other wonderful ladies providing projects with this darling box for you today. All links to their blogs are below, and a list of supplies used.
Thanks for visiting – Linda Duke ;)

i have just found you, and just as i do with everyone, i go back and back and back to see what other things you have done. i am certainly amazed at the collection of wonderful works. it is fun to go back 1.5 years and see what remains the same and what changes. your worker's-ship is precise and neat...you haven't lost anything in that department! i think the only things that have changed are the choice of images. back then, things were pretty cute. now, they have a certain sophistication. your work has truely evolved. you have brought along what you like, along with fresh, new images and new techniques. i am set up to follow you, and i know you will continue to amaze me! best wishes on your creative journey.
