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:

Taylored Expressions: Second Chance Release!

One of my favorite releases at Taylored Expressionsis always the Second Chance release. Not only because I always love the freebies (and who doesn’t like a gift?), but because there are always little additions added when they officially release into the TE Catalog of goodness.

So let’s give these a Second Chance–in case you missed them in round one!

First up, we have the Berry Sweet–I could not love this Berry Basket more! I am looking at everything now and wondering if I can put it in this Berry Basket? 🙂

Of course, these scream summer to me, and berries and gingham go hand in hand for summer, so naturally, I used the Gingham Checked Background, cut out with the Stitched Frame Stacklets 3. I created an ombre Gingham starting with Gumball at the top and Blueberry at the bottom.

I thought it would be fun to make the leaves in two different greens and stitch those up. I actually die cut a ridiculous amount of leaves and have those all ready to go for more cards (hopefully) soon! 🙂 The background is created with the Stitched with Love Cutting Plate and I added some Stickles to wrap this one up sweetly!

Next up, let’s checked out the Sketched Hearts! I think this one was from around the time of the Valentine’s release? Or was it in February? Hmmmmm either way, it’s a fun one! I thought I’d mix it up and use the hearts to create a flower–and goodness–I didn’t know it would work out so well. These are the perfect hearts for such! 🙂

I used Blue Raspberry to die cut the hearts, which I was happy about because apparently I don’t use too much Blue Raspberry. Who knew? I used an Easy Strip (1/8″) to create the stem out of Granny Smith.

I used the Rounded Rectangle Stacklets and the Ridged Rounded Rectangle Stacklets to create the border on Cupcake cardstock and the Cloudy Skies Piercing Plate for the background. The sentiment is from the Mini Strips – Floral stamp set. Such a sweet and simple card.

Lastly for today, I created this simple little Thank You using the Beautiful Butterflies Die and the Foil It – Beautiful Butterflies.

I didn’t add the Butterfly torso on here–instead it lays on my desk still 😂. But I recommend doing that. The sentiments are from the New Mini Strips – Fluttering By and of course the Mini Strips dies to cut those out of Dragon Fruit cardstock. (Have I mentioned how much I love Dragon Fruit?😍)

The circle placemat is create with the Petite Scallop Circle Stacklets and the Embossing Folder Dotted Diamonds. Simply delightful!

These could be created in batches for sure! 🙂

And I thought I’d add in the projects I made before, using some of these Second Chance products releasing today. Note: There are lots of fun additions now–including dies to cut some of these goodies out! LOVE that! You can find all these goodies in the Second Chance release today.

Taylored Expressions: 2023 Valentine’s Day Release!

Happy 2023! Hoping you all had a wonderful and possibly relaxing Holiday Season. Taylored Expressions is ready to kick of the new year with lots of love, friendship and cuteness.

Let’s get kicking it with the New Valentine’s Release. First up, we have Puppy Love and it is oh so cute! Lots of pups. I colored this cutie with Copics and die cut him out with the coordinating Puppy Love dies. The heart background is the new Forever Love Coordinating Dies cut out of Macaroon. The little fence is the Build a Scene – Heart Fence & Hill.

And the little envelopes from Sealed with Love Cling & Clear Combo worked perfectly to add to this card. I actually used the inside of a Target envelope to stamp these on. 🙂 I adhered the paper to some Sugar Cube cardstock to give it some heft.

The background is created with my always go-to Frame in Frame 2. I added some stitching and I called this cutie done.

Next up, the super fun Gumball Machine Die Set! Eeeeek! I was excited about this whole release and this Gumball Machine is a fave! I used the new TE Red Foil Cardstock because I thought that was too classic to not use. 😊

I decided I had to use the new TE Washi Tape – Hearts in Bloom in some fashion so I let that drive the color scheme beyond the Gumball Machine. I went with the sweet little Heart Gumball dies in the set.

I used the TE Washi Tape – Hearts in Bloom on Sugar Cube cardstock and then cut the tag using the Pierced Tag Stacklets 2. The punny sentiment is from Mini Strips – I’d Chews You Stamp cut out with the Mini Strips Die and backed with the Mini Strips Backer. I added some Bits & Pieces – Full of Heart to add some extra flare of shaker and put the card together using the Frame in Frame 3 Cutting Plate. Oh and some twine to finish it off. So sweet!

Next up, I used the Sketched Hearts dies to create this fun little number. This set is one of the current gifts with qualifying purchase–see the information below.

These hearts are super fun to layer up or add to cards as a background. I went all in and let them shine here. I thought this sentiment from Simple Strips – Crafty was too perfect and had to use it. Again, I used the backer strip. So the combo is Simple Strips Die and Simple Strips Backer.

Oh–and I also added the new Silver Matte Enamel Dots. I really like the flatness of these and the matte finish. I should just buy a couple packages straightaway so I’m ready! 😊

Here’s the scoop from Taylored Expressions:
