The Interactive Release at Taylored Expressions

Hi and thanks for stopping by today. I have some fun cards to share with you today that are created with new, innovative products from Taylored Expressions. All the new products are available now in the TE Store. 

This a long post with lots of information! Let's start with a look at the Lightbulb Moment Die Set and the Pear Blossom Press EZ-Light 2 Pack.

There are three dies that create the lightbulb and three different options for the filament die in the center of the lightbulb, along with the die that cuts the place to put the Pear Bloosom Light under. Beside the filament die I used there is a heart and a lighting bolt.

I die cut the center lightbulb from Sugar Cube cardstock, blended Banana Cream Ink over the white, a then some glitter. The outside lightbulb is die cut from Banana Cream Cardstock. I used black glittered cardstock for the screw in portion of the lightbulb. 

Once I had my lightbulb assembled I added vellum under the cut for the light and then a Pear Blossom Press EZ-Light under the vellum. Behind I lightbulb I added foam tape to make room for the EZ-Light. 

The sentiments are from the Light It Up Stamps Set and die cut with the coordinating Light It Up Dies. The stamp set also included the small stamp that stamps Press. So fun! 

I used the Here Comes the Sun Stencil with Banana Cream, Potato Chip, and Cupcake inks to create the background. 

Next let's take a look at the On the Curvy Track Die. There are four dies in the die set giving you different options for the shape of the track. I decide to create a card with Gus & Gertie swimming in the ocean with the Gus & Gertie Stamp & Die Combo - Make a Splash.

First I created the water by blending Confetti Cake, Rock Candy, Blueberry, and Blue Corn Inks. I stamped the fish with the fish stamp in the Turtle-y Awesome Stamp & Die Combo in Blue Corn Ink and splattered the background with white ink. Next I die cut the track. Be sure to keep the die cut to layer back into the card. 

I wanted to show how I added the tape. You will add a On the Track - Spinners and Sliders Discs. I used a slider disc which fits between the two sides of the die cut. You need to be sure you leave enough room for the disc to move. 

I created the sky with Salt Water Taffy Ink and the Set the Scene - Rolling Clouds Stencil Strips. I added the sun with the Circle Stacklets. I used Toffee Cardstock for the sand, ripping the top edge and blending Toffee Ink. 

The card front is die cut with the Squiggle Stacklets. 

My final project features the Pout & Polish Die Set. I went with a non-interactive card on this one. You could make the card interactive by using the On the Curvy Track Die and have the brush come out of the bottle. But I wanted to give you ides for using the dies on a standard card. There is also a sentiment set that coordinates with Pout & Polish Dies, the Glow Big Stamp Set. 

I used Confetti Cake, Fruit Punch, and Lavender Glaze Cardstock with TE Happy Medium - Iridescent Glitter for the bottles of polish. I added the border at the bottom with the More Easy Edgers Die St. I used the Arched Stacklets Dies and Petite Scallop Arched Stacklets Dies to create the background to add the polish bottles. The flowers are die cut with the Garden Variety 1 & 2 Die Sets. 

I used Black Licorice Cardstock for the card front and stenciled with the Take Two - Pretty Polka Stencil with Sugar Cube Ink.

This is a no stamping card. My card features the This is Big Sentiments: Definitions of Love Die,  Build-A-Bouquet Die, and the Heirloom Hearts Die.

My bouquet is arranged on a pretty heart die cut with the Heirloom Hearts Die. The are three different edged dies in the set, along with a die to add a center to the larger heart. I used a glossy black cardstock to die cut the love sentiment from the  This is Big Sentiments: Definitions of Love Die. I die cut the sentiment two more times with True Black Cardstock and glued the layers together to add dimension to the sentiment. 

I used a piece of striped paper from the Bitty Big Collection: Sweet Blush for the card front. I die cut the bottom edge of the card with the Elegant Edges: Fresh Cuts Die. I finished off the card with a few clay hearts.

The Valentine Release from Taylored Expressions

Hi and thanks for stopping by today! I hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year. I took a break from crafting over the holidays and am kicking off 2026 with the Valentine's Release from Taylored Expressions. All the new products are available now in the TE Store. 

Let's start with some fun Valentine Tags. First I foiled the Foil It - Simple Tags Valentine with TE Gold Shimmer Fun Foil using my Minc Hot Foil Machine. Then I stenciled with the Simple Tags Valentine Design Duo Stencil. I used a combination of Rose Water, Guava, Raspberry Sorbet, and Mulled Wine Inks. 

Next I die cut my stenciled tags with the Simple Tags Dies and backed the tags with the Simple Tags Backer Die. This a such an easy way to mass produce tags. 

I added sentiments to some of my tags with the new Mini to Mighty - Valentine Stamps and die cut with the coordinating dies. There are three different sentiments in three different sizes in the stamp set. I also added a few Gold Glittered Drops. 

TE is also releasing a new treat box die, the Giftables Die - Petite Parcel. You die cut the Petite Parcel Die twice and then assemble the box and use twine or ribbon to tie it close. I used the Sweet Heart Scribble 6 x 6 Rubber Stamp to stamp the pattern on the box on the left. The Sweetheart Scribbles Die is free with the purchase of $200 in product. On the right I embossed the box with the Lots of Love 3D Embossing Folder. 

Next I created a 5 x 7 card with the new Chocolate Factory Die Set along with the Full Heart Stacklets and the Petite Scallop Full Heart Stacklets. The Chocolate Factory Die Set creates the cutest chocolate candies. I love all the topping options. 

Here's a closer look. I added glitter and glossy accents to some of the candies. Then I arranged the chocolates on the hearts to look like a box of candy. The background is embossed with the Lots of Love 3D Embossing Folder. 

The card front is matted with the new A7 Large Scallop Stacklets Die Set. I am excited by the larger scallop edges. I think I will get a lot of used out of the die! The sentiment is from the new Sweet Talk Stamp Set. 

My third card features the Mega Message Die Set - Love, which is free with the purchase of $100 or more.  I created the background of the card with the Postmarked - Love Stencil, the Foil It - Postmarked Love, and the Postmarked - Love Embossing Folder. 

Here's a closer look. First I foiled with TE Gold Shimmer Fun Foil. Next I stenciled with the Postmarked - Love Stencil using Cherry Pop, Cupcake, and Guava Inks. Then I embossed the card front with the Postmarked - Love Embossing Folder. 

I used Cupcake and Cherry Pop Cardstocks for the Love Sentiment. The smaller sentiment is from the previously released Mini Strips - Valentine Stamp Set.

My first card is created with the  Turtle-y Awesome Stamp & Die Combo. Such a cute turtle! I stamped in Oreo Ink and colored with Olo Markers and then die cut. 

To create the ocean theme I die cut the front panel with the Squiggle Stacklets from Sugar Cardstock.

The sentiment is included in the Turtle-y Awesome Stamp & Die Combo. I stamped in Versamark Ink on Rock Candy Cardstock and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. 

Next is a look at the Fast Track Stamp and Die Combo. A great set for all the car and car racing fans! I stamped the cars and the flags with VersaFine Clair - Nocturne Ink and embossed with TE Clear Embossing Powder to add a little extra shine to my cars. Then I colored with Olo Markers. I added Bit & Pieces - Bits & Pieces - Black Rhinestones to the wheels.

The sentiment is also included in the  Fast Track Stamp and Die Combo. 

The Snowy Season Stamp Set and Die combo is perfect for this time a year. The set is full of pretty snowflakes. I stamped a variety of snowflakes in Cake Pop, Blue Raspberry, and Versmark Ink on Dried Fig Cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder. 

I used Cake Pop Cardstock for the background and blended Cake Pop Ink on the edges. Then I stamped the Dotted Snowfall Background Stamp in Versamark Ink and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. I added the hills of snow at the bottom with the Build A Scene - Snow Drifts Die Set. I inked the edges with Cake Pop Ink and added TE All That Glitters - Fluffy Snow. 

I also added a few Bit & Pieces - Clay Snowflakes. I added a sentiment for the stamp set at the bottom. 

My last card features the Air Mail Stamp and Die Combo. I think I will use this stamp set on cards throughout the year. I stamped a variety of the postage themed stamps to create the background, stamping in Royal Icing Ink on Royal Icing Cardstock. I added a die cut image to the top corner and center of the card. 

This sentiment is from the Foil It - Mini Strips Sending and die cut with the Mini Strip Die. I used TE Fun Foil in Cherry Pop.
