Black Friday and Gifts from Taylored Expressions!

It’s a fun week over at Taylored Expressions with Black Friday! Be sure to check out allllll the details on the Taylored Expressions website and blog!

Here are a couple cards that feature the Present Parade (gift with qualifying purchases) and a card from the Saturday Doorbuster bundle!

For this TE Exclusive – Present Parade 6×6 Stamp & Stencil Combo card, I used the new Berry Smoothie along with Pineapple and Rock Candy! Three inks and fun results! I also used Blueberry to stamp the background.

I added some Happy Medium Iridescent Glitter over the top of the center panel for some sparkle!

The sentiment is the Oh Happy Day Mega Messages. I die cut it from the three different colors and offset them all for a fun effect.

And this next card features the a Year in Bloom Bouquet! This has a coordinating stencil to make it mega quick to color up! 🙂

I added a bunch of textures behind the bouquet, as a great way to add interest, but not distract. These are all using Sugar Cube cardstock.

If you are interesting in grabbing a Friday or Saturday Doorbuster, I highly recommend hopping over to the Taylored Expressions website ahead of time for tips on grabbing one! They always go REALLY fast, so you’ll want to be ready and not delay. 🙂

More TE projects!

Be sure to check out Taylored Expressionsfor all the products I used on these cards! I thought it would be fun to share a few projects I haven’t posted here yet.

There is a new color from TE this last week: Berry Smoothie!

I thought it would be fun to make a less fussy, more masculine card too. You could easily swap out this sentiment for a birthday etc.

Next up, we have the November 2025 gift with qualifying purchases: Scattered Meadow Background Stamp.

Such a great background to use throughout the year and for so many different occasions!

And lastly, Whimsical Wildflowers, which also has a coordinating Foil-It. Whimsical Wildflowers first debuted at Stamp Joy Virtual last spring! 🙂

I don’t know if I ever shared my previous color release cards, so I will share those too!

This is Jujube! First a feminine card with the flowers and then a more masculine card. The flowers are Scattered Blooms.

This is Popsicle!

These are using Honeydew!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have fun with all your creating!

Take care- Jill

Taylored Expressions: Timeless Blooms!

Today is the last Tuesday of the month and that means it’s the new kit day over at Taylored Expressions! This is also the last kit of the year!! I would recommend you not delay if you are interested in this one 🙂

This kit is called Timeless Blooms and goodness does it whip up some beauties!

The key to making these cards was a very light hand when blending the ink colors, almost to the point of: Can you see the ink? Ha! But as it layered and built up, it became a lovely, soft look and I’m glad I was patient!

I overlaid this first one with the Diamonds Piercing Plate for texture and interest. I also cut a small piece of vellum with the All Planned Out 4 Die Set to underlay the sentiment. Otherwise, I kept it pretty simple.

Some twine and these lovely new Bits & Pieces – Rose Glitter Drops! I need to remember to order more this week–eep!

This second card I made using lots of the Arched Stacklets.

These colors created such a soft and sweet blend!

Again, I went with some simple twine to finish it off and it’s ready to send!

This kit would make lovely gift card sets! I hope I find some time to make some of these for holiday gifts this year. It’s a gift that keeps on giving into the world! 🙂

Be sure to pop over to the TE Blog and website for all the details today.
