Save $10 on the A Year in Bloom Beyond Bundle! Offer valid 5/13 at 9 am CT through 5/20 at 9 am CT or while supplies last.

I've used several of the Year in Bloom flowers to create this basket.  They were stamped, colored w/ Copics, and die cut.  They were added to the new dies releasing today, Vases and Places......perfect to make your own arrangements!  The basket was backed with the new Diamond Stacklets done in Sour Gummy cardstock and spritzed with Unicorn Sparkle Metallic Mist.  Finished this off with a tiny tagged sentiment from Itty Bitty Everyday Sentiments.

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

My second card features a mini slim size paired with the new Petite Scallop Gallery Builder dies.

Mixing the florals up from Year in Bloom again but this time they were layered over white backgrounds that were stamped with Polka Chic background with Oatmilk Ink.  The main layer of the card was scored every 1/4" both ways for a fun look and add texture.  Another sentiment from Itty Bitty Everyday Sentiments was stamped inside one of the blocks.

Taylored Expressions / For Him Release

Happy May! Taylored Expressions is excited to kick off the month 

with the For Him release!

Our new For Him release brings in bold patterns, sporty details, and fresh sentiments designed to help you create masculine cards that speak to your favorite fella.

Taylored Expressions

I have 2 cards to share today using the new For Him products.

The first one uses the Pattern Playground Create in Quads in the colors of Honey, Salt Water Taffy, Tropical Punch, and Green Tea.

After ink blending the ink colors, I was left with 4 panels for some masculine cards.  I used the plaid panel first along with the new Little Bits Golf.  Using the Wavy Stitch Stacklets along the edge of the plaid panel and adding a frame from A2 Thin Frame Cutting Plate, I created a "landing" place for my sentiment and golf club.  The sentiment is from You Are Additions 2.

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

My second card uses another panel that was ink blended using the Pattern Playgrounds Create in Quads.  This time it was framed using the Frame in Frame Cutting Plate.  I added a piece of Green Tea cardstock that was trimmed at an angle to great an area for my sentiments from You Are Additions.  I finished the card with some Bits & Pieces Clay Stars.

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

This week Taylored Expressions is releasing Milestone Moments filled with celebratory goodies for life's big occasions! We have three milestone-themed collections, each with a coordinating bundle.

I have card using the Wedding Bundle that includes the A7-sized cards and products.  

I started with an Oat Milk layer over one the new A7 sized cards.  I die cut 2 of the Floral Embrace Die and added Rose Water highlights to the centers of the flowers with a small blending brush.  These fit almost perfectly onto this sized card!  Using the new A7 Layer Stacklets, the sentiment from Today and Always, was gold heat embossed and a coordinating edger was used to highlight the pink floral centers.  Simply elegant.

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

My second card uses some of the new products from the Baby Bundle.  My color palette uses Pear, Bleu Cheese, and Sprinkles.  The onesies, from Bundle of Joy, are added to a burlap twine line with foam adhesive over a Label Stacklets 15 panel that was embossed with the Tiny Twinkles embossing folder.  This panel was added over a Toffee panel that was die cut using the Cloudy Skies Piercing Plate Die.

Taylored Expressions / New Tools and Essentials Release

Taylored Expressions is introducing new Tools and Essentials! 

Craft smarter, not harder! The newest tools and essentials from Taylored Expressions are designed for effortless creativity so you can easily create stunning cards.

I have a few cards to share using some of the new cardmaking stamps and dies!

First up is the new capsule shape dies called Label Stacklets 15.  I've paired it with the Boho Botanicals stencil.  

I blended Mango, Honey, Pink Champagne, Watermelon, Sweet Basil, and Avocado inks for this gorgeous blended panel.  Using the Label Stacklets 15, one of the layers was used to die cut the center and was popped off the card with foam adhesive.  Love the dimension it gives.  The sentiment die is a new one called Mega Messages - Oh Happy Day.  Something I have been doing to elevate my cards is use the Unicorn Sparkle Metallic Mist over the top of my cards!  I LOVE the subtle sparkle!

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

My next card uses one of the new backgrounds called Polka Chic Background.  I've used it to stamp the blooms from the die set Fresh Cut Flowers with Sugar Cube Ink.

  

The Polka Chic Background was also stamped on a Sugar Cube notecard using Sea Salt Ink for a subtle look.  The blooms were arranged over an Arched Stacklets panel over the Polka Chic Background.  Sentiment, from Hello Lovely, was gold foiled and finishes off the card.

Taylored Expressions / Flit & Flutter Release

Taylored Expressions is excited to announce that they are releasing the popular Flit & Flutter from Crop & Create Spring 2025 to their catalogue!  They have added lots of new coordinating products to help polish those projects.

I've used some of the new stand alone additions for this release......Flit & Flutter Butterflies and Flit & Flutter Hummingbirds.

You may recognize this project from the graphic above.  I've used the Foil It Flit & Flutter but did not foil......I love the bold black outlines! 

I used the Create in Quads Flit & Flutter for the floral image in the colors of Pink Champagne, Peaches 'n Cream, and Sweet Potato Pie.  It may look like more colors than that but it's all in how much pressure you do when ink blending.  I added ink blended Flit & Flutter Butterflies with black dotted accents to my panel.  

The panel was added to a Sweet Potato Pie base that was stamped with the Fineline Script Background.  The sentiments are my favorites......Mini Strips Calendar.  As a finishing touch, a few Clear Drip Drops were added.

******************************** 

My second card uses the Flit & Flutter Hummingbirds.  The hummingbirds were die cut and ink blended with these colors:  Spearmint, Blue Raspberry, Poblano Pepper, Mulled Wine, Pineapple, and Peaches 'n Cream.

I created the Mini Slim background using the Pierced Tiles Cutting Plate, Mini Slim Thin Frame Cutting Plate, Build a Scene -  Grassy Hills, and the Rainbow Cloud Duo Die Set.  Sentiments are again from the Mini Strips Calendar.  As finishing touches, I added some White Foil Drops for shine!

******************************** 

We have a new gift collection called Simple Gifting! These bundles have all the pieces needed to create and package a set of cards to give as a gift. It is available in three color themes and they pair with the Flit & Flutter collection.

Plus, customers get 25% off a custom stamp with any purchase from the Flit & Flutter collection! Offer valid 4/08 at 9 AM CT through 4/15 at 9 AM CT. Limit one per customer.  We’ve also created two new custom stamps that pair beautifully with Flit & Flutter.

Taylored Expressions / For Her Release

April 1st .......there's no April Fools today!

 To kick off the month, Taylored Expressions is excited to introduce the For Her release!  

This release celebrates all the amazing women in our lives!

I have some inspiration using these new products.  The first card I am sharing is included in the Sneak Peek above!

Heartfelt Blooms is a stamp and stencil combo that includes one large bundle of blooms.  My color palette includes Eggplant, Dried Fig, Snow Cone, Gumball, Mango, Banana Cream Pie, and Green Tea inks.  To the greenery to add dimension, I flicked dark green color using the G29 Copic.  Once the colors were ink blended and the image was die cut, I splattered Dr. Ph. Martin's Pen-White over the floral spray.  

The floral spray was double layered and added over a stamped background using the Weathered Words Background in Sea Salt Ink.  The focal panel was added to an Eggplant layer.  To finish the card, sentiment strips from a new favorite set (Foil-It - Mini Strips Calendar) were done in Silver Fun Foil and added with foam adhesive.  Silver Glitter Drops were added to tie into the silver sentiments.

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

My second card uses the Free Stamp w/ Purchase of $75 from the For Her Release Collection called My Wish for You.

I kept this fairly simple to make the message take center stage.  I used blooms from Fresh Flowers and ink blended them using Pink Champagne, Bubblegum, Confetti Cake, Blue Raspberry, Pineapple, Sweet Potato Pie, Dill Pickle, and Cilantro Inks.  

The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto a panel die cut using the Diagonal Stitch Rectangle Stacklets which was further layered with the Petite Scallop Rectangle Stacklets.  White Foil Drops were scattered among the blooms to finish the card.

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

We’ve got a delightful collection full of goodies to celebrate the amazing women in our lives. And this week, get a FREE My Wish for You Stamp with any purchase of $75+ from the new For Her collection. Offer valid April 1st at 9 AM CT through April 8th at 9AM CT or while supplies last.
