2026

It’s a fun day over at Taylored Expressions today celebrating 2026! Crazy to fathom, right?

It’s the New Year’s Release! First up, I created this card with the new Foil It- Acetate Confetti Party. These balloons are fun to foil and then die cut using the Create-in-Quads – Celebrate in Style Balloon Bash Dies.

The background is Royal Icing ink with the new Pixie Dust 6×6 Background Stamp. So fun!

The little Stay Groovy was an extra fun bit to add from the Mini Strips Stamp – Lava You.

The 2026 numbers on both these cards are from the Stitched Numbers Die Set.

Next up, this one uses the previously released Hang On stamp and the Disco Vibes die. I probably should have swapped the Stay Groovy and You Got This sentiments on these cards, but they are fun nonetheless. 🙂
I used the TE Foil Cardstock – Disco to create the little “disco balls”. This cardstock is so fun to use and way fun on a card in person. 🙂

I added a bunch of party dots with a dot from Here Comes the Sun. Confetti party!

Crazy to think 2026 is around the corner… weren’t we just working through how to manage 2000? Ha! 🙂

(Apologies for the second share of the same post today. I was having some technically difficulties (gah! Technology! 😅) and my post did not post correctly. Please accept this redo as a replacement for the previous post (mess) that posted! 🙃💛)

Today, Taylored Expressions has the new 2026 Calendar Release! And while this might sound crazy because 2025 really just got going, it is perfect to get things underway for next year now! I don’t know about you, but if I can work ahead, I do. 😊

Be sure to check out everything at Taylored Expressions today!

This is the new Foil It – Arch Nouveau with the 2026 Arch Calendar in Sugar Cube. These calendars also come in Toffee! 🙂

I used the Deco Foil Peel n Stick Toner Sheets to create these frames with straight up foil to give them all that extra pizzazz! These can easily be made in bulk and so easily! I added a few splatters and some stitching for detail, but you can easily skip those steps for ease.

The foil is always a tricky thing to photograph, but the close up images are the best to see the detail. 🙂

Next up, I took the Arched Rainbow Layering Stencil for a spin on a Mini Slim Card and it worked out swimmingly! 🙂 But do note, this rainbow fits perfectly on the Arch Calendars! 🙂

I stamped the Essential Sentiments sentiment over and over to create this background that I did partial die cutting with the Arched Stacklets. However, you can probably more easily do this with Arch Nouveau Dies. I can’t wait to use this new Rainbow more soon!!

And lastly before I shove off today… Did you see the new gift with qualifying purchases at TE? It’s the TE Exclusive – Cottage Charm Stencil & Die Combo and there are some Foil Its -Framework that work swimmingly with them! Be sure to check everything out!
