Taylored Expressions Snowman kits

  Hello friends! In the last few weeks, I have sold a house, bought a house, and lived in an Airbnb during a tropical storm. These candy capsuled were created while I was in an airbnb with limited supplies. That is how easy these are to create. This is a fun new Snowman Capsule Candy Kit from Taylored Expressions . I wished I had had orange cardstock to create a carrot nose, but kraft worked just as great.  These snowman capsules are very similar to the pumpkin capsules. You get the plastic containers with red and green tops, fuzzy pom poms in red, green and white colors, a die to create the nose, and vinyl stickers to rub onto the plastic for the faces. I was able to find red and green jelly beans to put into the containers for added festiveness. To adhere the pom pom, glue dots were used.

The possibilities are endless and its so fun to get lost in ink blending. For the sentiment, I blended the same inks, stamped the banner and sentiment in black ink and then cut it out with scissors. Before adhering the sentiment I stamped some stars from the same Balloon Bouquet stamp set.    For this card, I wanted a more muted background so I started with a scored toffee card base. Using green, blue green and green inks, blending from the top to bottom using the Party Popper stencils to create a gradient effect. To add added interest, using the same inks, I added some blending all around the card. Using a little bit of sugar cube ink on a mat with water and a paint brush, I added paint splatters over the stenciled background. The sentiments were stamped onto sugar cube cardstock, diecut and adhered to the card f
