Shine So Bright

The Taylored Expressions Memorial Day Sentiment Sale starts today!  Sentiment stamps and coordinating dies are 20% off. Offer valid 5/20 at 9 am CT through 5/26 at 11:59 pm CT or while supplies last. Each Design Team Member got to choose one their favorite sentiment stamps set to work with. It is really hard to pick a favorite but I chose to work with the Shine So Bright Stamp Set and Shine so Bright Dies. 

I created two cards with the stamp set. I like the happy sentiments in this stamp set! 

For my first card I chose the Arch Dreamscapes Stamp Set to go with one of the sentiments in the Shine So Bright Stamp Set. I stamped the scene in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. I used the Dreamscapes Layering Stencil to add the ink blended color and the Additional Arch Nouveau Dies to die cut the arches. The larger arch is cut from vellum. 

I stenciled the background with the Here Come the Sun Stencil and Cupcake Ink. The flowers and greenery are die  with the Fresh Cut Flowers Dies from Sugar Cube Cardstock and the blended with TE Inks. 

The card front is die cut with the A2 Postage Stamp Stacklets. 

My next card is centered around the Fanfare Cutting Plate and Fanfare Stencil. It seemed to go perfectly with the Hey Sunshine sentiment. I cut a piece of Sugar Cube cardstock with the Squiggle Stacklets. Then I die cut with the Fanfare Cutting Plate and stenciled with the Fanfare Stencil. 

The cute sun is from the Here Comes the Sun Stamp set and die cut with the Here Comes the Sun Dies. I added the clouds with the Rainbow Cloud Duo. 

I finished off the card with a few Gold Glitter Drops.

Shine So Bright

A Year In Bloom

As a token of gratitude for shopping with Taylored Expressions, every order you place comes with a free gift. For 2025, we’re excited to bring you A Year in Bloom - a series of monthly red rubber stamps inspired by birth flowers. With today's release we are excited to have some fun additions to go along with the rest of the A Year in Bloom collection. 

My first card is created with the new A Year in Bloom - Vases and Places 2 Die Set, the Petite Scallop Gallery Builder, and the Large Lattice Layering Stencil and Large Lattice Stamp. I used the Year in Blooms stamps from January, February, March, April, and May along with the coordinating dies. 

If you miss a month you can buy the stamp to keep your collection complete. 

I colored the flowers with Olo Markers, die cut them, and arranged them in the four fun vases I die cut with the A Year in Bloom - Vases and Places 2 Die. The sentiments are from the previously release Mini Strips - Floral Stamp set. 

The background is stamped with the new Large Lattice Stamp and stenciled with the Large Lattice Layering Stencil using Macaron Ink. Next I die cut scalloped shapes to center the floral arrangements on with the new Petite Scallop Gallery Build Die set. I cut them from Sugar Cube Cardstock lightly blended ink to add the pastel colors. 

Next up is a closer look at the Large Lattice Stamp and the Large Lattice Layering Stencil. Here I stamped the  Large Lattice Stamp on Sugar Cube Cardstock in Blue Corn Ink. Then I stenciled with the Large Lattice Layering Stencil. There are three stencils in the set. I used Granny Smith, Banana Cream, and Bleu Cheese Inks. Then I splattered with Dr. Ph. Martin's bleed proof white opaque watercolor. 

I die cut these vases with the previously released A Year in Bloom - Vases & Places Die Set. My flowers are colored with Copic Markers and I added Tiny Diamonds to accent the vases. 

I used the new Diamond Stacklets Die set to cut three diamonds that fit the diamonds that are stamped with the Large Lattice Stamp and used foam tape to pop them up from the background. 

This sentiment is from the Sundry Sentiments Die Set and die cut with the coordinating Sundry Sentiments Dies. 

From new focal points to backgrounds, A Year in Bloom Beyond is all about helping you do more with the flowers you already have.

Save $10 on the A Year in Bloom Beyond Bundle! Offer valid 5/13 at 9 am CT through 5/20 at 9 am CT or while supplies last.

A Year In Bloom

Take Note

Hi All! I am kicking off the week with cards I created with the new Take Note Collections from Spellbinders. 

I have three cards to share with you with a mix of the new products that you will find linked below. 

My first card is centered around the new Reel Color Etched Dies. I think this die is so fun and different from anything else I own. I dic cut the wheel from white cardstock  and then added the different colored cardstock in the imprinted stop on the wheel. 

The Reel Color Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set has the perfect sentiments to go with the collection. I love that the BetterPress Plates can be used with the BetterPress System or the Glimmer Hot Foil System. Here I foiled the sentiment with gold foil on Raven Cardstock. 

I used the Take Note Registration BetterPress Plates with Mooniest Foil to created the striped background. The flower is die cut with the Floral Spray Etched Dies.

I used the Reel Color Etched Dies on my second card too and added another sentiment from the Reel Color Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set.

I used the Take Note Registration BetterPress Plates with black ink for the background and the sentiment at the top of the lined paper. I used gold foil for the gold line down the side. I used the Torn Paper Edges Etched Dies to die cut the torn edges of the notebook paper. 

The Wish sentiment is from the previously release Fresh Picked Sentiments Etched Dies. I finished off the card with different color enamel dots. 

My final project features the Push Pin Notes Etched Dies which creates the notebook paper with the turned up paper edge and the cute pushpins. 

For the background I created another sheet of notebook paper with the Take Note Registration BetterPress Plate and used the Torn Paper Edges Etched Dies to add details to each side of the notebook paper. 

I used the Floral Spray Etched Dies to add the flowers and leaves.

The For Him Release at Taylored Expressions

The new release at Taylored Expressions this week is all about the men in our lives and  the new Dreamscape Collection that can be used for many different occasions. The products are available now in the TE Store. 

First up is a look at the new Dreamscape Collection that included the Dreamscapes Layering Stencil, Additional Arch Nouveau Dies, Arch Dreamscapes Stamp Set, Ridged Arch Nouveau Die Set, Arch Windowpanes Die Set, and the Arch Interactive Window Die. 

Dreamscapes Layering Stencil creates four beautiful, peaceful scenes making it perfect for so many different occasions. 

Here I stamped the background with the Fine Diamond Background Stamp with Toffee Ink on Toffee Cardstock. You can see how I used the Ridged Arch Nouveau Die Set to add the detail around the frame. 

The sentiment is from the new Perfect Pennant - Dad Clear Stamp Set.  I splattered paint on the background and added the twine. 

On my second card on used the Arch Windowpanes Die to add the windowpane. Here I used a Foil It - Dreamscape panel with the Dreamscape Stencil. I used TE Champagne Foil. 

For this background I used the Pinstripe 6x6 Background Stamp with Blue Corn Ink on Sugar Cube Cardstock. 

The sentiment is stamped with the Hello Lovely stamp set. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with  Champagne Embossing Powder. 

My next two cards feature the Mega Messages - You're the Best Die and the Create-n-Quads Pattern Playground Stencil. The Create-n-Quads Pattern Playground Stencil creates for different background panels. Here I used Rock Candy, Honey, Blueberry, and Brussels Spout Inks but the color combos are endless!

The Mega Messages - You're the Best Die Set consists of two dies, one for the sentiment and one for the shadow background. I die cut the sentiment three times and glued the layers together to add the extra depth. 

For the Father's Day sentiment I used the Foil It - Perfect Pennant Dad, foiling with Blueberry Foil and die cutting with the Perfect Pennant - Dad dies. The die set also includes the stars I added to the card. 

On my second card I used the You're the Best Shadow die  to die cut directly into the card front. I added Salt Water Taffy Cardstock behind the die cut. 

This sentiment is also created with the Foil It - Perfect Pennant Dad, foiling with Blueberry Foil and die cut with the Perfect Pennant - Dad dies. The fingers are die cut with the new Little Bits Die Set - Football.
