Valentine’s Release over at Taylored Expressions Today!

Today, Taylored Expressions is celebrating the New Valentine’s Release today! Be sure to check everything at Taylored Expressions! Ahhhh the Valentine’s Day sweetness for family, friends, and your coworkers!

This release is perfection for Valentine’s Day of course, but I also love that so many of these new goodies can be used any day of the year! First up, is the new Eye Spy Die set along with the Truly Spectacular sentiment set! These are both in the Truly Spectacular Bundle today!

*Eye* love these fun glasses!! Oh and the Embossing Folders! This is the Full of Hearts 3D Embossing Folder! This one is the $100 Gift for the Valentine’s Day Release (so be sure to make a qualifying purchase to snag one before the promo is over!) I 🤍 embossing folders!

I thought this was a fun color combo for any day of the year. However, I would absolutely use this for Valentine’s Day too! 🙂 And if you don’t make a qualifying purchase for this new Embossing Folder, you can use many others you might have in your stash to recreate this look too. 🙂 “Look“–wink wink.

Next up , we have the Shake it Sweetheart Bundle! For this card, I went more traditional Valentine’s colors, but thought I’d throw in some Wintergreen–it made me think of a heart shaped flower! Because those exist right? 🙂

This card also has the new 3D Embossing Folder – XOXO and the new Fineline Script 6×6 Background Stamp.

Aren’t these Bits & Pieces – XOXO so fun? They work perfectly in the new Shaker Bubble Heart. However, these Shaker Bubble Hearts are big enough to hold other things you might want to add–like CANDY or money! I’ll tell you how to get your teenage recipients to notice your card–add money to these Shaker Bubble Hearts! Ha!! 🙂

Next is this Lava You Lots set is too FUN! I still have a lava lamp and love that we can now make these fun cards!

I created this background with a white colored pencil and the previously released stencil called Conversation Hearts. I just simply traced the hearts in the stencil and then did some quick hatching with a ruler.

And I went really different with this color combo! Again, works for any day–including Valentine’s Day! 🙂 I used Mulled Wine, Sweet Potato, Pumpkin, Mango and Black Licorice.

I used the Squiggle Stacklets set to cut out the panel. All the different things that are in the sets for the inside of the Lava Lamps are dreamy! Love it!

For this release, there is also a $200 Gift and it is Artsy Hearts 6×6 Background Stamp with heart dies.

Here are a couple cards I made using this goodies!

Rainbow goodness!! Along with the Mini Strips–Hello Add Ons and Mini Strips Backers.

This next one, I die cut the hearts out with the Heart Stacklets. It worked out swimmingly!

This embossing folder is called Sketched Hearts and the sentiment is from the Shine So Bright set!

Don’t these look a bit like stitched string hearts? Fun fun!!

Sweet Treats release from Taylored Expressions!

Hooray for Sweet Treats and Kid’s Valentine’s Kit! Or as you will learn, “anyone” Valentine’s kit! :). Taylored Expressions has a new release today with all the treats and fun for the upcoming holiday, or really any time you want to give a little love!

First up, the new Sweet Treats Kid’s Valentine Kit! My not-so-little guy was not feeling the Valentine craftiness this year since they do not pass out valentines this year at school. The upside is, I got to the make the cuteness instead!! Which really worked out, because I have envied the kits every year, but let him have at it. 😉

I kept these really simple because I wanted to show how easy they are to make without being complicated–because kids! I love food that smiles–it makes me smile!

You could also step them up too, since as we get older, we generally have more stamina to create things. 🙂 But sometimes we don’t –ha!

I love these and I love the punny little sentiments. Of course, I had to add the googley eyes because that’s what I do. 🙂 I used the Scallop Circle Stacklets as my base for a little extra fun. Kids can sign the back or sign the front. We often gave a little something in a clear bag to my son’s classmates, so I figured these would be cute to tuck inside those.

Next up, we have the cutest little Gnomes!! This die set is called Gnome Sweet Gnome Die Set. I think I might need to make a set to hang with the Snowman that were released last month!

Eeeeeep! I went a little crazy with the colors and fully intended to make a more chilled down version as well, but time has not on my side this month. These Gnomes have Plum Punch bodies and then all the colors to jazz them up!

The fun part is, once you die cut all the things in all the colors, you have all the pieces to make many many more–which is my plan. 🙂 They are too cute!! 🙂

Here’s the scoop from Taylored Expressions:

Make this Valentine’s Day extra special for your children, students, grandkids or neighbors with our adorable Kid Valentine Craft Kit! The kit retails for $25, is packaged in a custom zippered pouch, and includes:

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:

When you purchase the Hearts in Bloom Bundle (Triple Slim – Hearts in Bloom Layering Stencil set, Triple Slim – Hearts in Bloom die collection, Foil It – Triple Slim Hearts in Bloom panels, Hearts in Bloom washi tape, Happy Hearts washi tape, and Hearts in Bloom envelope seals) through Sunday, January 8th, you will get a free exclusive video craft along class with Susan Block!
