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.
