Product Focus: Love is Spelled M-O-M

Did you know that Taylored Expressions has its roots in a special mother-daughter relationship? When Creative Director Taylor VanBruggen was growing up with her two sisters in Iowa, she spent many happy days crafting with her mother, Linda, which ultimately put her on a creative journey that would become TE. Mother's Day is a day to celebrate the timeless bond of motherhood and all the women who have worked so tirelessly to give love and joy to their families.

With Mother's Day fast approaching, we thought we'd share a few projects from our talented design team featuring some of our favorite Mom Day products to help inspire you to create something special for that wonderful lady in your life.
 

sample by Shannon White

Fresh flowers make a wonderful Mother's Day gift and a card inspired by blooms makes the perfect card. Designer Shannon White paired our versatile Greetings For Her
stamp set with our Silhouette Stems 4 and Band It 2 die set for a pretty floral card. Greetings For Her includes sentiments that can be personalized for all the special women in your life.

One of our most beloved stamp sets, Make It Amazing contains all the beauty of nature to help you create elegant projects for mom. Make an elegant card in moments with coordinating dies such as our Twiggy Branch and Elegant Butterflies. Set it all off against our Large Layering Doily as designer Melissa Sauls did on her lovely card.

Celebrate all the things mom represents with our Graphic Greetings - Mom A la Carte stamp! This graphically interesting image can be used as a single stamp, as Charmaine Ikach did by stamping and embossing on vellum, above. Or, use a marker to choose or highlight the words that mean the most to you when it comes to mom.





sample by design team alum Karen Giron 

Give mom something truly special that reminds her of all those endless tea parties you shared growing up with our CreativiTEA stamp set. Designer Karen Giron created a beautiful and personal gift set that would make any tea-loving mother happy on her special day. Make a card and coordinating tea tin in mom's favorite colors (and don't forget a big hug and kiss!)





sample by Shelly Mercado

Send mom a card featuring a stunning window with a view with our stamp set, A Glimpse Inside. This popular set can be used year-round, but is especially appropriate for creating a truly special card when coupled with our fan favorite Window die series. Give your mom a peek at that special luncheon you've got planned, as Shelly Mercado did using our Picture Window, Window Accessories, and Flower Box Sprigs & Flowers.
See below for other Window dies you may enjoy working with.

Don't forget those newest moms this Mother's Day! With mountains of diapers and midnight feedings, new mothers may not have time to think of themselves. Our sweet Moka Margo is just right for welcoming her to the joys of motherhood.
