It's the Summer Release at Taylored Expressions

There is a new release at Taylored Expressions today and it is all about Summer. There are two bundles to choose from, Beach Bound and Coastal Collage. All the new products are available now in the TE Store. 

My first card features products from the Beach Bound Bundle. The new Beach Bound Die Set creates this cute beach bag along with the flip flops, sunglasses, and hat. The florals are die cut with the new Garden Variety - Tropical Blooms. I listed the ink and cardstock colors I used below. 

I just love the new Wave Edges Dies. There are two dies in the set that die cut the ocean foam and waves. I love the look! I used the Here Comes the Sun Stencil to add the sun filled sky. 

The sentiment if from the Endless Summer Stamp Set and die cut with the coordinating dies. 

Next is a look at the Coastal Collage Bundle. First I stamped the Gallery Wall Background Stamp on Sugar Cube Cardstock with Sour Gummy Ink.

Next I used the Coastal Vibe Stamp Set and coordinating Coastal Vibe Dies to add the images inside each frame. Some of the images are stamped and some of the images are stamped and die cut. This add some fun dimension to the card. 

The sentiment is from the Sunny Saying Stamp Set. I stamped Versamark Ink on Sour Gummy Cardstock and embossed with TE White Embossing Powder. I finished off the card with a few Tiki Mule Enamel Dots.

Papertrey Ink June Release Countdown Day 1

Just a Note

Hi! I have been trying to pop a few notes in the mail to friends I have not seen for months! Just want them to know I am thinking of them and miss their company. Today's Just a Note card has a summer vibe with products from Pretty Pink Posh. 

The background is die cut with the Lattice Background Die. (See Links Below) I cut a piece of cardstock to fit behind the lattice die cut and blended Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks. 

Next I stamped the monkeys from the Monkey Friends Stamp Set and the palm trees from the Tropical Birds Stamp Set, colored with Copic Markers, and die cut with the coordinating dies. 

The grass is added with the Nature Essentials Dies and I added some machine stitching. The sentiment is from the Simple Sentiments Stamp Set and die cut with the Simple Strips Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. Lastly I added Lemon Drop Jewels to the center of the flowers.

Just a Note

Make a Splash! Taylored Expressions June Sneak Peeks Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of the Taylored Expressions June Sneak Peeks! Today my cards are all about summer fun, water, sand, and mermaids! All the new products will be available starting at 9am CDT Thursday, June 6th.

My first card features a number of new products. Let's start with the background I created with the new Build a Scene - Waves Stamp and Die Set. This is such a creative idea! First I stamped the sand in Toffee Ink and added detail to the sand in Chocolate Truffle Ink. Next I stamped the water in Sprinkles Ink. The set comes with two dies that allow you to cut a slit in the waves to insert a stamped image! I used the Here Comes the Sun Stencil to add the sunshine. 

I stamped a couple of the cute critters from the Floaties Stamp Set, colored them with Copic Markers, and die cut with the coordinating Floaties Dies. The sentiment is included in the Floaties Stamp Set, stamped in Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I added the pail with Little Bits - Pail and Shovel. 

My second card features the new Splash Stencil and one of my very favorites from the new release, the Be A Mermaid Stamp Set. To create the background I cut a piece of watercolor paper to fit the card front and used the Splash Stencil with iCraft Deco Foil Metallix Gel in White Pearl. There are three new Liquid Watercolors being released this month, Pineapple, Blue Raspberry, Lime Zest. They are so pretty together. I used all three to added the color to my background. 

Next I die cut the mermaid tail with the Be A Mermaid Dies. I brushed Lime Zest Ink on Sugar Cube Cardstock for the tail and backed the tail with Sweet Mint Felt. Inside the circle I stamped the water with Make A Scene - Waves Stamp and Die Set. The circle frame is die cut with the Inside Scallop Circle Stacklet and the Stitched Circle Stacklets. The sentiment is from the Be A Mermaid Stamp Set.
