Papertrey Ink February Release Day 1

Colorfully Coordinated

It's the Colorfully Coordinated Release at Taylored Expressions today! If you love color and love to organize this release if for you! I know my cart is going to full! Keeping my supplies organized is a challenge for me. 

Let's start with a look at the new color of cardstock and ink being release today, Plum Tart. I paired Plum Tart with Berry Smoothie, Potato Chip, and Honeydew Melon and used Lemon Meringue and Brussels Sprouts to add shading. 

I decided on a 5 x 7 card with the beautiful Baroque Bouquet Stamp. I stamped in Oreo Ink and then used the Baroque Bouquet Stamp Stencil to add the color with Blender Brushes. I die cut with the coordinating Baroque Bouquet Die and then added embossing details with the Baroque Bouquet Stamp 3D Embossing Folder.  

Here is a closer look at the embossing detail. I love that TE has added 5 x 7 options to the TE product line.  I used the A7 Layer Stacklets Die Set and the A7 Large Scallop Stacklets Die Set for my card base. 

At the bottom I added a strip of Plum Tart Card embossed the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Signature Sentiments Clear Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. I finished off the card with a few Glitter Drops. 

Here are the details on the release:

Colorfully Coordinated

The Second Chance Release at Taylored Expressions

This week is the  Second Chance Release at Taylored Expressions.  TE is bringing back previously exclusive favorites into our main catalog and pairing them with brand-new coordinating pieces to increase your creativity and options. All the new products are available now in the TE Store.  I have four projects to share with you today. 

Let start with a look at the Winter Wonder Layering Stencil and the Petite Scallop Arch Nouveau Stacklets. The stencil creates four small designs with a winter theme. 

I used a combination of Royal Icing, Tiki Mule, Blueberry, and Cilantro Inks with the Foil It - Winter Wonder panel and TE Silver Shimmer Fun Foil. Each stenciled image is die cut with the Arch Nouveau Dies and matted with the new  Petite Scallop Arch Nouveau Dies.

I created the background by stamping the Dotted Snowfall Background Stamp in Tiki Mule Ink on Royal Icing cardstock. Then I embossed with the Swiss Dot Embossing Folder. 

All the sentiments are the Mini to Mighty Stamp Set - Occasions Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. I also created two tags with the stenciled images. 

Here is the inside of the tag. I added  Bits & Pieces - Clay Snowflakes to each project. 

Next is a look at the C'mon & Celebrate Die Set This is a large sentiment to create the focal point of your card. There are three dies in the set to add the different layers. The smaller sentiment is from the previously released Mini Strips - What's the Scoop. I stamped in Versamark Ink on Licorice Cardstock and embossed the TE Sparkle Gold Embossing Powder. 

For the background I used. the Present Parade 6 x 6 Stamp & Stencil Combo. I stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with Gold Sparkle Embossing Powder and then used the stencil to color the gifts. I have listed the inks I used below. 

The focal point of my next project is the new Mega Messages - Friend Die. There are two dies in the set, one to die cut the sentiment and one to back the sentiment. I used TE White Glitter Cardstock for the sentiment with Guava for the backing. 

The background is created by stamping the leaves with the Bitty Bouquets Stamp and Stencil Combo and then stenciling with the new Bitty Bouquets - Bonus Blooms 2 Layering Stencil to add the flowers. The smaller sentiment is from the Simple Strips Stamp - Friendship 2 and die cut with the Simple Strips Die - Scalloped Edge. The flower in the corner is die cut with the Fresh Cut Flowers Die Set. 

If you follow Taylored Expression you know how great the Insides Panels are. There are so many panels to choose from for many occasions to finish off the inside of your card. Here I am using The Insiders - Friendship 2 Panel as the sentiment on the front of my card. I foiled the sentiment with TE Blueberry Foil using my Minc, and stencil clouds in the background with the Set the Scene - Rolling Clouds Stencil. 

I created the background by stamping the leaves with the Bitty Bouquets Stamp and Stencil Combo and then I used the. new Bitty Bouquests - Bonus Blooms 1 Stencil to add the flowers. I used a combination of Confetti Cake, Blue Raspberry, Blueberry, and Cilantro Inks. Next I used the Circle Sticklets to cut and matt the circle in the center of card and then added the sentiment behind the circle die cut. The smaller sentiment is from the Simple Strips Stamp - Friendship 2.

The Second Chance Release at Taylored Expressions

Timeless Blooms

It is Throwback Thursday at Taylored Expressions! The Create-in-Quad Layering Stencil – Timeless Blooms is back! The Timeless Bloom Stencil creates four unique but coordinated panels all at once. And there are new products to coordinate! 

I created a set of four cards with the Timeless Bloom Stencil. I used a combination of Lavender Glaze, Popsicle, Plum Punch, Mint Julep, Cilantro, and Brussels Sprout Inks. 

I added the background texture to each card with the new Quilted Cutting Plate Die. I love the detail of the added texture and am sure I will reach for this Cutting Plate often! 

All the sentiments are from the Together in Type Stamp & Die Combo. Here I added a strip of vellum so that the sentiment stood out from the background. 

Here are the next two cards. I used Bits & Pieces Plum Punch Glitter Drops on all of my cards to add a little sparkle. 

On this card I die cut a small rectangle from the center of the card, framed it with the one of the smaller A2 Large Scallop Stacklets for some added detail. 

This card is framed with the largest die in the A2 Large Scallop Stacklets. The backgrounds of my cards are lightly splattered with  Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White Watercolor.

Trendy Tiles

Today I am sharing the first Taylored Expressions Cardmaking Kit for the 2026, Trendy Tiles.  This kit is filled with playful patterns and timeless designs you’ll love reaching for again and again. The kit will work for so many styles and occasions!

Trendy Tiles 6x6 Background Stamp

Available for Purchase Outside of the Kit (Add-ons):

Envelope Seals - Trendy Tiles

The Insiders - Trendy Tiles

Quatrefoil Stacklets Die Set

Foil It - Trendy Tiles

Quatrefoil Stencil

When I had my first look at the kit I immediately thought about Italian and Mexican tile work, so that is what I used for inspiration for my two cards. On my first card I wanted the feel of colorful tiles and terracotta. I started by foiling one of the Foil It - Trendy Tiles with TE Copper Foil. 

Then I stenciled with the Quatrefoil Stencil using a mix of Sweet Potato and Cinnamon Inks to give the feel of Terracotta. Next I stamped the tile with the Trendy Tiles 6x6 Background Stamp in Rock Candy, Blueberry, Peapod, and Mango Inks and die cut with the Quatrefoil Cutting Plate Die.

The sentiments are from the Trendy Hellos Stamp & Die Combo, which is part of the kit. I brushed Latte Ink on the edges of my die cut to give a more worn look.

I took my inspiration from Italian tiles on my second card. There is something about blue and white tiles I love. I stamped tiles on Sugar Cube Cardstock with Blueberry Ink and then Versamark Ink on Blueberry Cardstock and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. Then I die cut with the Quatrefoil Cutting Plate Die. 

To create the background I die cut a piece of Sea Salt Cardstock with the Quatrefoil Cutting Plate Die and inlaid the dies back into the card front. I added the lemons with the Fresh Squeezed Die Set. 

The sentiments are also from the Trendy Hellos Stamp & Die Combo.  I added the center border strip with the More Easy Edges Die.
