taylored Expressions Second Chance Release

February 10, 2026February 9, 2026 | @popsofpaper

Hi Friends and Happy Tuesday! Today, I’m sharing several projects using products from the Taylored Expressions second chance release.

Winter Wonderland & New Petite Scallop Arch Nouveau Die Set

I created 4 different projects (2 Cards, One Tag and an Envelope gift card holder using the Winter Wishes Foil-it Panels, Stencil & the New Scallop Arch Nuoveau Die Cuts.

Just Because

The new coordinating dies with Just Because Stamp Set allows you to create fun layers to your cards design. I created both a Mini Slim and A2 Card with images that I colored with OLO Markers.

C’mon Celebrate

The C’mon celebrate die has two different sized shadow backers which creates extra dimension and the perfect way to create a sentiment shaker card. While creating the Shaker Card, I created a second card using the extra inlay pieces from the ink blended panel.

Mega Messages Friend & Shoutout Birthday Embossing Folder

There is so much dimension in this card with the double-layer Shout-Out Embossed Layer (Sugar Cube card base layer + Rainbow Ink Blended background) and the Mega Message Friend embossed with Black Glossy Cardstock and crisp white shadow backer. The Friend Sentiment is the perfect match for several of the sentiment in the new Simple Strips Friendship 2 and Scalloped Edge Simple Strips Die.
