Express Yourself with Mother’s Day Gifts from Expressionery!

I love my Mom.  I know it sounds cliche, but I am so proud to be her daughter.  She has always been there for me and has truly been a cheerleader my entire life.  Now, it’s time to show her how much I love her…..any suggestions?  Fortunately, Expressionery has some great ideas for all types of Moms this Mother’s Day!

While my Mom is not known for her cooking (sorry, Mom!), Expressionery does offer incredibly cute recipe cards for the Mom who loves to be in the kitchen.  The cupcake recipe cards would be perfect for my Aunt as you can even personalize the front and leave them blank on the back for extra writing space.

For the busy working mother like myself, Expressionery offers calendars that can be personalized with the names of each member of the family and important tasks and events. These calendars come in individual sheets by week that can be ripped off and placed anywhere in the home, office, or car.  I had the opportunity to try one of them and I can tell you that the calender has been a lifesaver.  I love having everyone’s schedule written down in one convenient place.  It gives me a sense of being in control (even if I am totally not!).  For just $28.00, you can receive a tool that will help organize you life for a whole year! Love!

For Moms who love to go on playdates with their children, the Expressionery social calling card may be the way to go.  Many designs are available to express her unique personality.  These calling cards are also useful to distribute information to teachers, babysitters and friends such as phone number, address or even allergy information.

Personalized Plates from Expressionery: Review and Giveaway

With the holidays just around the corner, many people are starting to think about hosting a party or starting to prepare a list of people to buy for.  Both of these tasks can be quite daunting (which for people like me, triggers procrastination!).  How do you make that party memorable?  What do you buy for your great Aunt Marge?  Fortunately, I was sent something that really can help you solve BOTH problems!

Expressionery has come out with a new line of personalized melamine plates that can certainly add a unique touch to any dinner party or provide that special gift for the impossible recipient.  These 10 inch plates come in many colors and styles, but my favorite has to be the Zebra Print Plate!  How fun would it be to create a personalized plate for each party guest that they could take home as a souvenir of the event?  This hot pink and black plate would sure make for a festive table setting!

personalized plateI was sent the Bella Bird in Blue plate and it could not be any cuter!  The plate is a nice quality and is dishwasher safe (but don’t put it in your microwave!).  I think this design would be perfect as a gift because you can personalize a special message to create a smile.  And best of all, Expressionery is offering an incredible deal on these plates from now through February!  If you spend $75, take $25 off, spend $100 and get $35 off, spend $150 and get $55 off.  Not looking to spend $75? Enter code SEASON40 at check out and receive 40% off your purchase.  The plates can be purchased for $25 at the regular price (which makes it only $15 with the 40% discount!).

Don’t think a personalized plate is the way to go?  Check out the other great gift options from Expressionery such as the Changeables Quotes gift set or some adorable stampable stationary.

PSA Essentials Peel and Stick Stampers from Expressionery (ARV $300!): Review and Giveaway

hypothesis The new PSA Essentials Peel and Stick stampers from Expressionery.com will revolutionize my rubber stamp collection and feed the obsession!

materials

One PSA Essentials Stamp Body and Alignment Tool, the PSA Cupcake Peel and Stick Interchangeable Stamp Set, notecards, a paper towel and an incredibly giddy 4 year old.  About Expressionery:

expresslogo

methods

After receiving the sample product from Expressionery, I took the time to review the instructional video provided online.  Following the guidelines, I quickly learned how to set up my new stamp, use the alignment tool, switch templates and clean my new stamper.

I am completely in love with my new PSA Essentials Peel and Stick stamper!  I have bought countless rubber stamps for various occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, and weddings in order to give my invitations or cards a little extra pizazz.  And let me tell you, a rubber stamp is not cheap these days!  Now, with the Peel and Stick system, you only have to purchase one blank stamp base and alignment tool in order to have countless stamping possibilities.  Stamp sets can then be purchased in various themes such as birthday, holiday, love, poodle, anchor or rocket sets just to name a few!

psholi

Each stamp set comes with one outer ring (see the scalloped edge around the trees? It can detach so the trim is interchangeable!) and 9 center designs.  In my experience, I can say not only is this system cost efficient, it is FUN!  The instructional video was extremely helpful and I was stamping in no time!  The stamp base and interchangeable stamp sets live up to the quality you expect from PSA Essentials.  Lily and I decided to try out the system and show you exactly how easy it is!

summary

Have an upcoming birthday party?  Preparing for the holiday season?  Make your life easier by purchasing one of the new PSA Essentials Peel and Stick Stampers!  The set up was a snap, the designs are adorable and clean up was incredibly easy.  Lily enjoyed playing with the stamper, coming up with new stamp designs and creating cards for friends and family (she even made me a birthday card!).

You can also use the Peel and Stick system in order to personalize calling cards, luggage tags or stationery!  Making customized stationary would be a great gift! In addition to the PSA products, Expressionery also carries notecards, gift tags, and invitations.  Make sure you check out the website!
