Taylored Expressions / Throwback Thursday / Talking in Circles

Hello!

Welcome to the Throwback Thursday release from Taylored Expressions where we are revisiting the Talking in Circles products.  A few new products are releasing today as well to coordinate with the previous products!

I've used one of the new maps - Talking in Circles 2 - A2 Sugar Cube.  I've paired this map with the new Talking in Circles - Half Patterns 2 die.  

My color palette is Cookie Monster, Blueberry, Peapod, Lollipop, and Candy Corn cardstocks.  After die cutting all the half circles, they were pieced into the "map" with glue.  For the sentiment, I went bold and black using the C'mon & Celebrate Die Set with a backer of vellum cardstock.  For some decor, I added the Bits & Pieces Clay Stars.

Go check out the new products available now!

Taylored Expressions / Party in the USA Release

💖🤍💙

Welcome to the Party in the USA Release from Taylored Expressions!

We have a wonderful release to celebrate all the red/white/blue and America's birthday/anniversary this year--250 years!

There are some amazing new products along with a die from the Archives---On the Road Wagon!

***********************

One of the new releases is the "You've Got Mail" die set that I can not wait to use for other occasions but this release is all about America so red/white/blue it is!

I created a mini slim card using the Mini Slim Wavy Stripe Cutting Plate Die with Cherry Pop and Blueberry Cardstocks.  The cute mini letters are using the new Postmarked--Americana.  I added some glitter glue to the starts on the envelopes.  Sentiment is from a new set called Star Spangled Sentiments.

***********************

Next up is a card using a die from The Archived Collection - On the Road Wagon.

The background for my wagon is the new Stars & Stripes 6x6 Embossing Folder.  I've used Sugar Cube ink over the raised areas for a bit of "pop"!

I added in more of the tiny envelopes from Postmarked - Americana and also used the American Flag Die Set to embellish the cute wagon!  Another cute sentiment from Star Spangled Sentiments was added along with some clay stars.

Make sure to check out all the new products to celebrate America over at the Taylored Expressions store!

Taylored Expressions / Cards of Comfort Release

Some cards are harder to make than others—but they’re often the ones that mean the most. Taylored Expressions’ new Cards of Comfort release was thoughtfully created to help you navigate those more tender moments with care. From heartfelt sentiments to peaceful florals, gentle textures, and meaningful imagery, this collection is designed to help you express support, sympathy, and love when words don’t come easily.

This release also includes a special focus on pet sympathy, with products that honor the deep connection we share with our furry companions. It’s a beautiful way to create something truly personal for friends and loved ones experiencing that unique kind of loss.

*********************************

My first card uses the new Frond Embrace Die for a 5x7 card.  Using Honeydew Cardstock, the die was cut twice and lightly inked for a darker shade at the base using Honeydew Ink with a heavy handed blender brush.  These panels were added to the top and bottom of the notecard layered with Honeydew Cardstock.  A central border was added using Decorative Borders.  To frame the sentiment from Together in Type, a frame was done using A2 Thin Frame Cutting Plate using 2 layers of the frame.  To tie in with the gold foiled sentiment, a few Gold Drip Drops.

*********************************

My second card focuses on our beloved pets and sending love for a lost pet.

A simple, yet impactful card using the Mini Meadow Embossing Folder.  The background was layered with the Pawprints on Your Heart dies that a rainbow of colors were layered behind.  Sentiment from the new set, Faithful Friend.

*********************************

To make creating even easier, Taylored Expressions is offering a FREE Sympathy Palette Playbook with any purchase from the release (available 4/21 at 9 AM CT through 4/28 at 9 AM CT). This thoughtfully curated guide takes the guesswork out of color, helping you choose soft, comforting combinations that work beautifully for sympathy cards.
