It's the Christmas Release at Taylored Expressions

Today is one of my favorite releases of the. year! It is the Christmas Release at Taylored Expressions. We have bundles of products with different themes to get you starting on your Christmas Cards this year. All the new products are available now in the TE Store. I have three different projects to share with you, so let's get started!


First up is a look at the Postmarked North Pole Products. The products can be purchased as a bundle or separately. All the available bundles are listed below. 


I foiled two of the Foil It - Postmarked North Pole panels with TE Fun Foil in Champagne using my Minc. I foiled two panels because I wanted to use one panel as a card front and the second one so that I could die cut the images with the coordinating Postmarked Cutting Plate.


I used a combination of Blueberry, Royal Icing Sweet Basil, and Honeydew Melon with the Postmarked - North Pole Layering Stencil. In the center of the card I added a circle cut from vellum and a sentiment from the new Holly Jolly Hellos, and holly leaves die cut with the new Garden Variety - Holiday Greenery. 


On the second card I used the individually die cut images to create the card front. I added another sentiment from the Holly Jolly Hellos and more holly leaves with the Garden Variety - Christmas Greenery. 


For the center panel I embossed Royal Icing Cardstock with  the Tiny Twinkles Embossing Folder. I used the Outgoing Frames Rotating Stencils to add the border.  I finished off with a few TE Gold Glitter Drops. 



Next is a look at the Holiday Greenery Collection. There is the Sleigh All Day Die, the Garden Variety - Holiday Greenery Dies, and the beautiful Garden Variety - Poinsettia. You can create several sizes of Poinsettias. I used the largest one on the tag. 


I used the Sleigh All Day Die with TE White Glittered Cardstock and TE Gold Foil Cardstock. I knew wanted an elegant feel to this card so I went with the white sleigh. I attached the sleigh with foam dots to the front of the card and then filled the sleigh with the poinsettias and greenery. 


To create the card front I stamped the Dotted Snowflakes Background Stamp on Honeydew Melon Cardstock with Honeydew Melon Ink and then die cut with the A2 Postage Stamp Stacklets. 


The sentiment is from the new Mini to Mighty - Christmas Stamp Set. There are three different sentiments in the stamp set and three different sizes of each sentiment. I love this idea!


I also created a coordinating tag using the Tag Stacklets 2 and the Pierced Tag Stacklets 2. 

The cards are created with the Ho Ho Holidays 2 Layering Stencil and the coordinating Ho Ho 2 Dies, both of which are a gift with purchase. 

Get the FREE Ho Ho Holidays 2 Layering Stencil with any purchase of $100+ and Ho Ho Holidays 2 Die with any purchase of $200+ sitewide! Offer valid 9/30 at 9 am CT through 10/7 at 9 am CT or while supplies last.  


How sweet are these elves! I used the Foil It - Ho Ho 2 with the new Wintergreen Foil  and then stenciled with the Ho Ho Holidays 2 Stencil. I have listed the colors I used below. Then I die cut with the coordinating Ho Ho Holidays 2 Dies. 


I created Mini Slim Cards with the Mini Slim Layer Stacklets and the Mini Slim Postage Stamp Stacklets. 


The backgrounds are stamped with the Dotted Snowfall Background Stamp. 


To add the sentiments I used the new Foil It - Mini Strips Holidays 2 panel foiling with Wintergreen Foil.

Foiled & Fabulous

 It's the Foiled & Fabulous Release at Taylored Expressions today. TE is releasing new colors of TE Foil and new Foil-It products. You all find all the new products now in the TE Store. 


I was able to create two cards using the Gina K Designs Poly-Glaze Sheets - White. These sheets are  great for using up the negative foil left behind after foiling your Foil-It Panel, which is how I created the card on the left. 


There are numerous new Foil It Panels available today. I used the Foil It - Minimalist Garden and the Foil It - You Are to create my cards along with the new TE Fun Foil - Dreamy Azure. There is no stamping on my cards. Both the sentiments and leafy images are foiled. 


After I foiled the image from the Foil It - Minimalist Garden I die cut the panel with the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets and added it the scalloped panel that is die cut with the Petite Rectangle Stacklets. The thin Snow Cone Frame is die cut with the A2 Thin Frame Cutting Plate Die. 


Next I used the negative foil from my first card with the Gina K Designs Poly-Glaze Sheets - White. It is always hard to get good photos of foiled cards but this is beautiful in person. 


For the sentiment on both cards I used the Foil It - You Are Additions. There sentiments were previously released as a stamp set with coordinating dies. The You Are Additons Dies also coordinate with the Foil It panel. I foiled the  Foil It - You Are Additions with the Dreamy Azure Foil and used the negative for the sentiment on my first card. 

New Foil It designs and Fun Foils are here for fresh options to make your projects shine — literally!

Get a FREE TE Fun Foil - Scrap Pack and Foil It - Edge to Edge Occasions Sampler with any purchase of $65+ from the new Foiled & Fabulous release!

Offer valid 9/23 at 9 am CT through 9/30 at 9 am CT or while supplies last.

My first card features the Nutcracker Magic Stamps and Dies. I wish I had this stamp set when my girls were in ballet! The stamps set is full of dances, nutcrackers, and pretty greenery. I started by stamping the images I planned to use and colored with Copic Markers. 


Next I used the Fanciful Snowflake Background Hot Foil Plate with white foil on Pinefeather Cardstock. Then I used the new All the Rounded Rectangles Dies to cut the opening in the middle of the card. 


I added foam tape around the edges of the card and then added the pink panel behind the opening. To create the background I blended Sweet Blush Ink on white cardstock and stamped the pink snowflakes. I added the white die cut snowflakes with the Build a Snowflake Dies.

I added the houses and snow and trees with the previously released  Bring Home the Holidays Dies. I love this die set and use it over and over!

I cut the smaller die in the Reflections: 2 Corinthians Dies from vellum and the larger die from Aqua Cardstock and stenciled with the Dotted Line Stencil Collection.
