There is quite a bit of new fun over at Taylored Expressions today!! I remember when Taylored Expression first introduced Easy Strips and thought–brilliant!!! Previously, I had to cut strips down with a paper trimmer and they were uneven and unpolished–until EASY STRIPS appeared, many moons ago now! Love them. 🙂

This card below features the new Easy Strips: Foil It – Playful Patterns for Easy Strips foiled over with the Poly Glaze sheets! Such fun for that mega foil POP!

I created these with the Foil It and the previously released Easy Strips – 1/4″ and Easy Strips – 1/2″ and LOTS of TE Fun Foils! You not only get the original foiled strip (Sugar Cube with foil details), but if you save the foil you just used and run it back through with the Poly-Glaze sheets, you can then use alllllllll those fun pieces that were formally trash! SO GOOD! Be sure to check out videos of this over on TE’s YouTube channel, as there are certain to be a few examples showing it in action.

If you’ve ever tried to photograph anything shiny, like a foiled card, you know it can be a challenge to catch the amazingness that is the SHINE and SPARKLE! Have no fear, your card recipients will see it ALL and love it! 🙂

Such fun I had to keep going with the foil and sparkle–including starts cut from TE Glitter Cardstock and the sentiment from Foil It – Shiny Happy Sentiments, also foiled 🙂

Today is the Patriotic release over at Taylored Expressions!! I always feel like this indicates SUMMER is HERE! 🙂

This card uses the new Foil It-Americana and the new 6 x 6 Background Americana. Love the new Americana background as it pulls apart to create two separate backgrounds you can use for a plethora of occasions! You’ll see one below 🙂

This is a new Fun Foil for Blueberry and there is a Blueberry Sparkle Star Fun Foil. I’m excited about them both, but used the Blueberry and the Red Stars Sparkle!

I thought this would be a fun shaker card using the Bits & Pieces Patriotic. I also foiled the star panel and thought I’d use that with the shaker bits, but went with the Circle Stacklets and Stitched Frame Stacklets 3.

I mixed it up using the Star Fall Background with the stripes from the Americana. Oh and the sentiment is new from the Americana Expressions–lots of these are perfect for sending cards to those women and men serving or those who have served. 💓🤍💙

These are the new Insiders. I foiled with the two different colors and I like how it turned out!

Next up, I used the new Hang on Stars in a fun way for an any day card, showing that while this release is Patriotic, it is WAY versatile!

I did an ombre on the Americana 6 x 6 Background–love splitting that! I think I am going to reach for it often for celebration cards and just general background stripes.

These sentiments are from the Mini Strips-Summer set and work for many occasions! Such fun–I should have made more at the time–as usual 😂 But I have enough stars cut out for more!

And before I forget, there is a new fun Exclusive June Gift over at TE! Be sure to check out all the details on how to receive it there, but here are some samples using the new Fanfare Cutting Plate. Eeeeep! I am definitely going to use this one OFTEN! 🙂
