Plum Tart from Taylored Expressions!

It’s another fun release from Taylored Expressions today! The newest color has finally joined the family full throttle- Plum Tart! You’ll also want to head over to the TE Website today because there are a lot of fun things to help you organize all your TE colors! And organizing is half the fun right? 😁

For this card, I used the Stitched Easy Strips in Plum Tart, Pear, Cake Pop and Royal Icing. It’s a fun and different color combo for sure–sort of something I’d think of for a retro candy shop look–must be the stripes 🙂

I love all the texture the Stitched Easy Strips give. I used the newer Mega Messages- Friend die along with a Simple Strip to complete this card.

Turned out so festive and sweet–like candy. 🙂
Be sure to check everything out in this release. There is a fun new binder in the mix too! Eeep! I do love organizing!

 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 😉)

Taylored Expressions: NEW COLORS!!

It’s time to celebrate NEW COLORS over at Taylored Expressions today!! EEEEEEEP! The wait is over! These are brilliant additions and have landed right snug into the fold!

The new colors are Papaya, Persimmon, Royal Icing and Tiki Mule! They are fantastic! I thought a great example to use this on would be the Fan Favorite Stencil and Embossing Folder Combo.

The colors really show their partnerships with the Royal Icing/Tiki Mule and  Papaya/Persimmon fans here.

The sentiment is Gold Embossed from the Let’s Party set. So fun! The Dijon and Honey work swimmingly to round out this color combo. It’s a party–for SURE!

Here’s a snapshot of the True Colors card with the color combo. 🙂

I made several panels to create with, but only finished two cards thus far. Story of our lives right? Ha! This one below really showcases the Papaya and Persimmon Combo. It’s a fade from Persimmon up to Papaya–though a big hard to decipher in this photo.

This layering stencil combo and embossing folder is called Floral Fields. The pops of Gumdrop and Plum Punch really punch it up–wink wink.

This sentiment is covered in TE Fun Foil and it is called Shiny Happy Sentiments. I used the Easy Edgers to create a spunky edge placed about the Pierced Diamonds panel.

The next card features just the new blues: Royal Icing and Tiki Mule. They go together awesomely with Blueberry, Red Pepper and Cupcake for this sweet card.

Here is the “My True Colors” card combo:


I love these dies in the No Place Like Home set–and that is overtop the Cloud Nine Embossing Folder. These houses: 😍😍!

The sentiment is from the House it Going set. Such fun sentiments in that set to pair with these.  🙂

Here is my True Colors card with the color combo:

Eeeep I am so excited to use the NEW COLORS on the reg now! 😊 I look forward to seeing what everyone creates with these. Have fun trying out new combos–you just never know what looks good until you try it. I can’t say that I’d pick up my color cards above and think–yup–this is perfect. But then, it works! 🙂 Have fun!

Be sure to pop over to the TE Blog and website for all the details today. Taylored Expressions Website is ready!
