Second Chance Release: Taylored Expressions!

Always one of my favorite releases, it’s the Second Chance Release from Taylored Expressions! All the exclusive gifts from a few months back are now available for purchase–with additions! The additions are the icing on the cake. Such fun! If you missed out on getting any one of these, now is your chance. Check your collection to be sure you don’t already have them too 🤭. Be sure to check it all out on the TE Website.

First up, we have the Bitty Bouquets! This is a rubber stamp and stencil combo.

There are new stencils you can add on using the same background rubber stamp–so cool!

Such a sweet little greeting to send! 🙂

Next up is the Mini Mail fitted with Teeny Cards using the 2023 gifts–Little Bits – Heart Coin, etc. (see supply list below)

There are too fun to make and I love tucking them in little gifts. They are fun to make ahead and have ready for those occations.

I think this is a fun gift to give someone!

Speaking of gifts, how about gifting some candy or something else small and delightful! 🙂 This is the Treat Tub along with the fun little sentiments in Snack Attack.

These treat tubs are perfect and I decided to oomph them up with some valentine’s hearts. 🙂

And last, but not least, Winter Wonder! these work perfectly for TE calendars, but don’t they make cute cards too! I couldn’t resist all the foils. I even used Jelly Donut!

Adding the TE Fun Foil – Iridescent Kaleidoscope over the top of everything adds such a fun flair in person!

All the arches!

Here are my supplies…

Timeless Blooms from Taylored Expressions

I believe this is a day many have waited for over at Taylored Expressions –Timeless Blooms is now available widely!

These were fun to make and I look forward to sharing them today. Be sure to check out everything over at the TE Website.

The Timeless Blooms Create-in-Quad is lovely to create with for SO many occasions. The colorway I used last year with this set was one of my favorites, but goodness, these turned out beautiful too! And I was able to use the new Quilted Cutting Plate Die–which is a super duper fast fave for sure!

This is a combo of colors–using a VERY light hand. Which is challenging for me to do 🤭. I like to get in there and BLEND! ha! 🙂

The colors I used for these flowers are: Royal Icing, Cake Pop, Bleu Cheese, Pear, Green Tea and Brussels Sprout.

If you want to duplicate these colors, I’d say just play around and see what you come up with–it could be even better! The key is to use a light hand for sure.

They are lovely flowers!

The sentiments are from the previously released Sundry Sentiments – Fall Stamp Set (and coordinating die, sold separately).

So sweet! And I used a technique to highlight the individual blooms on this card below. 🤍

Eeeeep these are fun! This color combo I went with turned out lovely. 😍

Here are the cards from the previous release of Timeless Blooms. You can read that previous post HERE.

Again, you can read that post HERE. (These blooms were previously in a card kit 😉)

Captivating Cards Release from Taylored Expressions

It’s a super fun day over at Taylored Expressions today! Lots of different things that are entering the TE-o-sphere today! It’s the new Captivating Cards Release from Taylored Expressions today!

This is the first month of the year, so there is a new gift with each order–For 2026, TE is sending along a little Critter stamp from the Critter Crew all year! Each month will be a new critter and of course, each critter has it’s own accoutrements, not to be missed!

This first one is a quick fave–the Critter Crew Stamp – Turtle! Eeeeeep! Just like me–slooooooooow.

There is also a coordinating die that you can purchase separately for each critter–AND cute sentiments AND this little adorable set called Critter Crew Stamp & Die Combo – Birthday Additions. The hats are TOO much!! 🙂 SUCH FUN!

Don’t forget to get your backer card too so you can keep your collection together, tidy and crew like! 🙂

Next up, I used the new On the Curvy Track Die Set. I used this in conjunction with one of my faves: Gus & Gertie Ride On!

Gah they are sooooo stinking cute on their little skateboard, spinning and flipping and whatnot!

It’s fun to see in person–I probably should have taken a quick video before I mailed this one –teehee! 🙂 And, as you can see, I’m still using the A2 Large Scallop Stacklets non-stop. The background sky is made with the oldie but goodie: Scattered Floral Stencil.

This sentiment is one of my favorites– it’s from the Flaky Friends Stamp Set. 🤭 These tracks are so fun to have your little dudes spinning and flipping all around!

Lastly, we have the Up, Up, & Away Die Set. Be sure to check your collection, because this one was released previously for Virtual Stamp Joy, so you may already have it. Both of these balloons go up and down in the sky–so fancy!

Always fun to use the Set the Scene – Clouds Stencil Strips for the backgrounds–a win every time!

Oh and don’t forget the sentiments: Floating By Stamp Set. There are coordinating dies too 😉

2026! Valentines Release from Taylored Expressions

Happy New Year! I hope you had a relaxing and sweet holiday season. Believe it or not, we are getting ready for Valentine’s Day now! at Taylored Expressions full of love to send friends, family and even sweet for coworkers!

First up, we have the new Sweetheart Scribbles which is a gift with qualifying purchases for this release. Also, the Mega Messages Love die which is also a gift with qualifying purchases. You’ll want to check out all the details on the TE Website.

I thought this turned out so fun with the recently released new colors and all these new dies too!

The new dies include the following: Full Heart Stacklets and the new Petite Scallop Full Heart Stacklets. I cannot get enough of the Petite Scallop Full Heart Stacklets and the new A2 Large Scallop Stacklets (<–I can’t stop using these for alllllll the cards!).

The embossing folder is the previously released Sketched Hearts EF. 🙂

Next up, we have the new Heart to Heart set–which has a stamp set and a die set. This is perfect for Valentine’s of course, but can be used throughout the year to send all the hearts! 🙂 I used this in conjunction with previously released TE products to create this sweet greeting!

The sentiment is the new Mini to Mighty Valentine set! Again, there is a stamp set and a die set for whichever way you prefer to use products. :0

Lastly, there is a sweet new Giftables- Petite Parcel! This is adorable for gifting all the little things throughout the year, but super fun for Valentine’s candy–don’t you think! I love to use these for coworkers. 🙂

Of course, I couldn’t resist the fact that the Papaya colored one reminded me of a goldfish, so I had to put a little googley eye on that one. 🙂

I used the Take Two Pretty Polka Stencil & Itty Bitty Tags to complete these for Valentine goodies to gift!

Eeeeep these are soooo cute! and I love this color combo I went with. 😍

Here’s the scoop from Taylored Expressions:

We have three bundles designed to help you create unique, memorable cards:
