A YEAR OF DOODLES CALENDAR

I used a whole lotta Copic Markers to color this Year of Doodles by Taylored Expressions.  

After getting all the months colored I stamped the scallop frame to match the colors in the doodle design and then attached them to the 5x7 Calendar.  It was quite a project but I like how it turned out.  Probably only making one of these... 

 

CRAFY TIME!

Recently I had friends visiting and we got a little crafty!  We made tags and lots of cards.  Each of us had a project to share so it was a fun afternoon!  

 

MAKE N' TAKE

This is a pretty Make n Take card that I recently put together at the Taylored Expressions Studio. We started with a Foil It and then colored with OLO markers.  I added a different sentiment when I got home.  

FLOWER PRESS PUZZLE

Another puzzle - this one is from Concord & 9th called Flower Press.  I placed an order recently for their new card stock and ink colors and saw they had a puzzle marked down.  It was a fun one!

2027 CALENDAR!

I wanted to create my 2027 calendar with the new products from Taylored Expressions.  I used the Soft Surrounds wreath stamped in Green Tea ink.  And then I went to die cutting - A LOT of die cutting & coloring!  I used the Year of Blooms flowers from the 2025 freebie collection.  I die cut the Vases & Places 1 & 2 for the basket and vases.  I ink blended the containers and also splattered them.  I followed the order of the flowers according to each month that we received them - January through December.  I added a bit of greenery here and there and a couple of mushrooms.

 

Here is the whole year.  It was quite a project, but I love how it turned out.  My 2027 calendar is all ready to go!

EASTER PUZZLE

A fun Easter puzzle that I put together on Saturday.  It was a cool, rainy day and the perfect day to enjoy a puzzle!  

 

EASTER BLESSINGS

I made a variety of Easter cards.  Besides the bunnies I also made these using the Waffle Flower Postage Collage series.  These were pretty simple - after blending the blue sky background just simple black ink to stamp the various images.  Easter Blessings!  

EASTER BASKET

I made up this Easter basket for a friend.  We took a meal to her last week as she is recovering from surgery. I thought the Easter basket was a nice addition.  The basket was at Target in the dollar spot for $5.  It's really pretty!  

EASTER from THE GREETERY!

More Easter from The Greetery.  I'm am loving this series of embossing folders, dies and a sentiment stamps.  These type of cards are mostly die cutting and putting together but I sure love the results!

 

SECOND BLOOM DAY 2

More of these beautiful Second Bloom cards.  The same design with different sentiments.  I used Taylored Expressions Papaya & Persimmon ink for the pink flowers.  

 

THE SECOND BLOOM

This is a new stamp set from Taylored Expressions that arrived in the mail on Monday.  I made these cards immediately and they turned out so pretty!  The stamp set is called Nature's Canvas The Second Bloom.  I stamped all the florals and then used the stencils to color them.  They are just beautiful.  The background on each card is the Tweed Background stamp from TE.  The oval dies and the details on the oval is from The Greetery along with the tiny words.  

Taylored Expressions Ink Colors:  

                  Cupcake, Strawberry Milkshake for the pink flowers

                  Potato Chip & Honey for the yellow flower

                  Pear & Sweet Basil for the leaves

WISH BIG!

Here's a fun birthday card using all Taylored Expressions products.  

HAPPY EASTER

This is a card that I created using products from The Greetery.  I have fallen in love with her new series of dies.  I have some Christmas, Valentine and now Spring.  The details are just amazing. It does take some work but I sure love how this turned out.  

TAYLORED EXPRESSIONS CLASS

I was excited to attend this class at the Taylored Expressions Studio yesterday!

The new classroom at Taylored Expressions is so nice.  The TV screens help to show you how to make your cards.  

   

The class included 4 cards but I made another one when I got home.  The flower card is the one I added.  The stamp set and matching dies were from Stamp Joy Virtual 2026.  It was a fun afternoon and now I have to try a new snack that Taylor recommends!  Bubs - anyone heard of them?  

PRETTY FLORAL

Thank you Joan for the card!  I really love that floral and I'm glad you used the embossing folder and I see that Amuse Studio striped card stock!  So pretty!
