Papertrey Ink May Release Countdown Day 4

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.

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.
