We’ve reached the end of Mother’s Week, and before we say goodbye to wish you a happy Mother’s Day weekend, we’re bringing our friends at Taylored Expressions in today to share a beautiful suite of products made just for the special women in your life. They’re sharing an important reminder to celebrate them every day, not just on Mother’s Day weekend! Let’s take a look!
Hey, crafty friends!
It’s Taylor from Taylored Expressions with you today. Before we get crafty, I have a question for you. Who has helped you become the person you are today?
For many of us, when we answer that question, it’s our mother or mother-like figure whom immediately comes to mind. At the same time, we recognize there are so many other wonderful women who have helped shape us and guide us through the ups and downs of life. In honor of all these special women, we designed a series of For Her products to help crafters share our love and appreciation for the women who mean so much to us.
Get your creativity flowing by checking out the following For Her samples from a few of our design team members:

Have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend, friends!
My Grandma was a huge crafter. She was the one who shaped me her love of all things crafty. Love Taylored Expressions, great projects shared.
So many people have helped me become the person I am today: my parents, grandparents, siblings, husband, kids and grandchild; and most of all – God.
Everyone in my life has touched me in some way.
Beautiful cards! Of course, I owe the greatest debt to my mom for helping me become who I am today, but I also honor my daughter. She has gone through so many trials in these last few years, having had 6 miscarriages and losing a preemie baby at 5 days old. She has gone through it all with great strength and grace, and she never lost hope of becoming a mother. She has helped me grow in so many ways. I praise God that she gave birth to another preemie baby last September, and he is doing great! He’s now 8 months old and growing strong. He is a true blessing and an answer to prayer.
I will say my sister. my parents were older when they had me. My mom was over having children, so she pretty much pawned me off to my sister who was anew mom herself. I grew up with my nephews being more like brother and sister than my nephews.
What beautiful, colorful flowers on these lovely cards! How fun to win a gift card! Thanks for the chance!!
There have been so many wonderful women in my life, my Mom and Mother-In-law, Sunday School teachers, and friends who have helped and supported me at different times in my life journey…so very greatful.
What a huge array of cards to celebrate Mother’s Day – a style to suit every one! My ‘Mum’ is a lady who ran the dance school my girls were at. We also were at the same church & jelled pretty quickly. She taught me how to be a good mom balanced between care, discipline & privileges. The result-> I have 2 daughters I’m really proud of! Not to
mention a very special ‘Mum’.
Thanks for the chance to win!! ????????????✨
I would have to say it’s my other and my Father helped me become who I am today. In my opinion I am a good mix of both of them although hubby tells me I am becoming more and more like my mother as the years go by! The cards are adorable! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Beautiful cards! I would say it has been my mother, husband and family that have made me the person I am today. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
My lovely mum and dad made me the person I am today . They instilled in my a sense of worth for myself but also of caring for others , especially my sisters . They’ve be gone over 20 years but I still thank them everyday for helping me become the person I am! Thanks SCT and TE for making me say it in writing !
My mom! Thanks for the chance to win.
My mother helped me become the person I am today. I watched her pinch pennies my entire life so each of her children could become something. She stressed education and having good values. I miss her very much, especially around Mother’s Day.
Beautiful cards! My mother definitely shaped me, but I was very close to *her* mother, my grandmother who I spent a lot of time with growing up. I miss her so much!
My husband and my daughter have influenced me greatly, especially on my walk with God.
It was definitely my Mom and Dad you made me the way I am. I have my Dad’s temper, and my mom’s impatience but I also got my Dad’s knack for how things work and my mom’s creativity.
I have to give my husband and kids credit for me becoming the person I am today.
My mother of course. I’ve long admired mothers in general and have learned from many female figures throughout my work life and beyond.
Today’s creations are lovely and the giveaway so generous.
All these cards are gorgeous!
That’s an easy question-my mom. She takes get me the importance of volunteering and passed along her love of creating.
I would say my Grandmother probably had the most influence – both genetically (I have a lot of her traits) and I spent a lot of time with her growing up.
My Granny. I was glued to her. Now I am the Grammie. Lucky me.
Yes, my mom has been an influence, but I really think my older brother–by 18 years, has been the most influential in my life. What a great question!
It’s really hard to say as more than one person had an impact on me, my Mom, my grandmother, my husband, son and my sisters. Even my Dad.
My mom inspired me to do crafting, but we ended up doing very different types of crafting. I love paper and making cards. Taylored Expressions has some super cute products here!!!!
Definitely my mother and my grandmother. The two most important and wonderful women I have ever known!
My sons are my positive influences. They have worked so hard to get where they are today. They’re thoughtful, hard-working and so disciplined when it comes to their education. They stay so calm through adversity. Sometimes, when I start getting stressed out about something, I think, how would they handle it?
My Granny and Aunt Irma helped me become the person I am today. They both shared their crafty talents.
Congrats to INSD winners.
I would say my grandma. She really helped me value money (save and use appropriately). And my cousins wife J has been my parenting mentor, sister from another mister and bestie:)
Congratulations to all of the winners and thank you for the inspiration for NSD2023
My mom has a really LARGE family! So I would say, my mom, her sisters & my older cousins.
Lovely cards!
Many people have shaped who I am, but #1 is my mom. She cultivated a love for crafting in me, even though my talents are nowhere near what hers used to be. Her generosity in sharing the multitude of things she made is one I strive to emulate with my creations.
Awesome gift from TE!

I love my mother with all of my heart but it was really my husband who helped make me the person I am today. He helped me become more confident, more outgoing, he helped me become better in general. For the record, he says I did the same for him. He is the most supportive person I’ve ever met and exactly who I needed.
My mom absolutely shaped the person I am today! I admire her determination and hard work, and love that I inherited her creativity too.
What an amazing prize! My mom has played the biggest part in shaping my life. She has always, and continues, to be my biggest cheerleader.
My mom was the biggest influence in my life. Sadly, she passed away a few months ago but memories will help to keep her close.
My Great Aunt Marie was a great influence on me..she taught me to crochet.she made me a quilt for a wedding gift. Still think of her and miss her. A beautiful lady!
Definitely my mom who always believed in me and encouraged me.
I am the person that I am today due to strong female role models mom, grandma, aunt, coaches and friends. Thank you to SCT for all you do????
What a fabulous collection to help celebrate all the strong and trailblazing women in our lives ❤️
First of all it is God. After that it was my parents and grandparents. And then my husband, children,and many very good friends.
Sweet cards-love all of the florals! I’d have to say that my mom, dad, sisters and mother-in-law helped shape who I am today. My parents were committed to their families, including their siblings, whom they helped financially as adults. My sisters are both older and continue to set good examples for me. My mother-in-law was a strong woman who raised 8 children and could cook/bake like crazy. All of them also have/had strong faith in God.
The biggest influence on who I am today is my Mom. In fact, my family tell me I am a lot like her, and this is a huge compliment. Unfortunately we lost her last fall and I miss her so very much. Mother’s Day this year will be missing a very special lady.
Many people have influenced me but the most was my Mother, Dad and my older brother! Beautiful cards and love Taylored Expressions! Have a lovely weekend
Definitely my Mother. My Mother made sure all her children could take care of themselves and run a household without relying on another person. I’m self sufficient and my husband loves it! Thanks for the inspiration and opportunity to win.
I love these pretty blooms! Beautiful cards!
I definitely give my Mom credit! I miss her so much. Lost her in 2015, and so many times I have wished I could have a heart-to-heart with her again.
Congrats to all the iNSD winners!
My mom and my sister influenced my early crafting career. My mom painted and sewed. My sister was an amazing artist. I love Taylored Expression’s products! These cards are so inspiring.
Thank you SCT and TE for the chance to win.
My mom certainly had a part in who I am today.
Darling cards and my Mom
was a big influence on me.
Carla from Arizona
Absolutely my mom! She influenced me so much growing up and I miss having her around so much!
