Taylored Expressions / Fall and Gratitude Release

Welcome to the Fall and Gratitude Release from Taylored Expressions!

We have some beautiful new products for fall crafting.

Look at these leaves with COPPER foiled details!!  <swoon>

I've used the new Harvest Hues Layering Stencil that can be used with all the previously released Arch Nouveau products.  

My Harvest Hues Stencil was done using Sweet Corn, Honey, Green Tea, Brussels Sprout, Royal Icing, Tiki Mule, and Mocha inks.  I wanted to show you can use these behind the Window Pane die for a fun fall "scape".  The Warm Wishes sentient is from the new Sundry Sentiments Fall which was heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder.

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

My second card uses All Around Autumn stamps and coordinating dies.  I've stamped the various leaves in the colors Huckleberry, Blue Corn, Pink Champagne, Brussels Sprout, and Spearmint inks.

I layered the leaves over a Toffee panel of cardstock that was die cut using the Crossroads Cutting Plate.  Adding a frame from Frame in Frame Cutting Plate in the color Pink Champagne.  The sentiment from the main stamp set was white heat embossed onto Toffee cardstock and die cut using the coordinating dies.  A few White Foil Drops were scattered across the panel.

Taylored Expressions / Petal Party Release

Welcome!!

Flowers never go out of season, and with the new Petal Party Collection, you can fill your projects with cheerful squares of florals! Whether you’re working on calendars, cards, or thoughtful gifts, this collection from Taylored Expressions gives you versatile designs that bloom with creativity.

The above is not my sample; however, this just goes to show that different people can have the same ideas!!

I used the Petal Party Stencil along with Persimmon, Papaya, Green Tea, Brussels Sprout, Pineapple, Honey, Royal Icing, and Tiki Mule inks to ink blend.  There is a Foil It for this stencil but I went without for a simple look.  

For my card, I used All Planned Out 4 along with the Sketched Plaid Embossing Folder on Persimmon and Tiki Mule Cardstock.  My sentiment was foiled using Champagne Fun Foil and my Mini Minc.  Sentiment is from Mini Strips Calendar (one of my FAVORITES!!!).  

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

My calendar used the same colors, same squares of the Petal Party along with the 2026 Landscape Desk Calendar.

I used the scalloped square and square die from All Planned Out 4 for my Petal Party images.  The flower centers were embellished with Gold Glitter Drops.

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

Plus, this week get 30% off all Taylored Expressions calendars, our best calendar deal of the year!

Taylored Expressions / Christmas Release

Merry Christmas!!

It's time for the big Christmas release from Taylored Expressions! 

It's the most crafty time of the year and we have so many fun collections to create holiday projects. 

It’s the time of year when crafters start dreaming of festive stamps and stacks of handmade holiday cards. 

This week’s Christmas Release is here to spark fresh ideas and fill your stash with seasonal goodies!

Let's get started with a gorgeous new die set called Garden Variety: Poinsettia.  My poinsettia was done in Mulled Wine and Wintergreen cardstocks and ink blended with darker shades for the added rich deep look.

The poinsettias were layered onto a Ridged Arch Stacklets over a Fine Diamond Background done in Toffee ink on Toffee cardstock.  Ink splattering with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors using a waterbrush and adding in some Gold Glitter Drops finish this off.

**********

My next cards use the almost the same color palette....Wintergreen, Cherry Pop, Pink Champagne, and Raspberry Sorbet.  I'm loving the new Wintergreen color for the holidays!!!  I've made both cards mini slim size.

The first card uses the Ho Ho Holidays 2 that is the gift with purchase (see details below).  The elves were foiled with Wintergreen Fun Foil.  The second card, uses Postmarked images that were foiled using Cherry Pop Fun Foil.

These were so fun to put together with this color palette!

Taylored Expressions / 17th Birthday Release!

Happy Birthday Taylored Expressions!

SEVENTEEN.

It's TE's birthday!! 🥳TE is17 years old this September and what better way to celebrate than with some disco and balloons?! TE couldn’t resist leaning into the disco vibe for our 17th (ABBA made us do it!) Here are the details:

In our disco theme you’ll find sparkly disco balls, funky backgrounds, and the cutest dress-up accessories to bring your groovy celebrations to life. Our balloon-themed designs bring uplifting energy with floating presents, birthday sentiments, and a split stamp and stencil combo to help your cards really pop.

I have been around to help TE celebrate many of their birthdays!!  This release is so much fun and I totally love the Disco theme!

My first card uses the Good Vibes Bundle that includes Foil Its, Stencil, Wavy Check Background Stamp, Disco Vibes Dies, and new funky sentiments called Groovy Greetings.

The foil it was foiled using my Mini Minc with Silver Shimmer Fun Foil.  Using the stencil, I used the colors Mango, Strawberry Milkshake, Sweet Potato Pie, and Pumpkin.  Over one of the disco balls, the Disco Vibes Dies were used with silver foil cardstock.  This panel was layered over a Wavy Check Background done in black ink over Strawberry Milkshake cardstock.  Finished the card with a sentiment, in your Disco era :)

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

My next card uses the Up for a Celebration Bundle that consists of the Up for a Celebrate stamp, Stencil, and coordinating Die.  

The Frame in Frame 2 Cutting Plate was used with Sour Gummy Cardstock and the center rectangle was embossed with the Shoutout Birthday Embossing Folder.  Over the top, I swiped the Sugar Cube Mini Ink Cube over the embossed words to make them stand out.  

The balloons were foiled with Silver Shimmer Fun Foil using my Mini Minc and then ink blended with Sour Gummy, Plum Punch, and Persimmon inks.  The balloons were die cut and added over the embossed background.  A sentiment from All the Best Birthday was added to finish along with some Silver Glitter Drops.
