(Apologies for the second share of the same post today. I was having some technically difficulties (gah! Technology! 😅) and my post did not post correctly. Please accept this redo as a replacement for the previous post (mess) that posted! 🙃💛)

Today, Taylored Expressions has the new 2026 Calendar Release! And while this might sound crazy because 2025 really just got going, it is perfect to get things underway for next year now! I don’t know about you, but if I can work ahead, I do. 😊

Be sure to check out everything at Taylored Expressions today!

This is the new Foil It – Arch Nouveau with the 2026 Arch Calendar in Sugar Cube. These calendars also come in Toffee! 🙂

I used the Deco Foil Peel n Stick Toner Sheets to create these frames with straight up foil to give them all that extra pizzazz! These can easily be made in bulk and so easily! I added a few splatters and some stitching for detail, but you can easily skip those steps for ease.

The foil is always a tricky thing to photograph, but the close up images are the best to see the detail. 🙂

Next up, I took the Arched Rainbow Layering Stencil for a spin on a Mini Slim Card and it worked out swimmingly! 🙂 But do note, this rainbow fits perfectly on the Arch Calendars! 🙂

I stamped the Essential Sentiments sentiment over and over to create this background that I did partial die cutting with the Arched Stacklets. However, you can probably more easily do this with Arch Nouveau Dies. I can’t wait to use this new Rainbow more soon!!

And lastly before I shove off today… Did you see the new gift with qualifying purchases at TE? It’s the TE Exclusive – Cottage Charm Stencil & Die Combo and there are some Foil Its -Framework that work swimmingly with them! Be sure to check everything out!

Be sure to check out all the new fun over at Taylored Expressions today!

Today, there is a super fun NEW RELEASE from Ellen Hutson! This release is by Julie Ebersole and you know I am a fan of what Julie whips up! This release is no exception! 🙂

There is so much fun on the mermaid front, but this time I flocked to the Rainbow and Unicorns set! Because: Rainbows. 🙂 #trouble

Go Forth and Be Fabulous! ❤

This little unicorn and all the rainbow fun! eeeeek!

For this card, I created a Distress Oxide Ink background with masking and blending.

Fantasmagorical?! ❤

I colored all the little images with Copic Markers and then added them to the cards in little scenes.

This sentiment had me at Sprinkles! I love everything sprinkles! LOL! 🙂

This sentiment is a RIOT! Sure to make someone laugh, I’m sure! I did!

Too funny!

And then this last card, I kept it very simple, but it probably took the longest to make! It was late at night and I was trying to line everything up with tired eyes. Silly! 🙂
