Good morning everyone! I have some more new projects to share using Taylored Expressions newly released goodies for the month of June. All new products are available for purchase from Taylored Expression Shop. I particularly love this card using Summer Love stamp set. I stamped and copic coloured the ice cream cone and then the background too. This is one of my favourite technique. I love to create my own background. It is so much fun to stamp and colour thus giving you a custom made background. I then toned down by adding a layer of vellum. The focal point is the same ice cream cones stamped, copic coloured and cut out by hand. These cones are then clustered and adhered to the centre of the vellum. The sentiment also from Summer Love stamp set is white heat embossed. Finally I added some glossy accent on the cherries and beautiful sparkle enamel dots from Doodlebug to accent the colours and bring the card together. Here is a closeup! The next card uses Pool Party die from Taylored Expressions. I die cut the Pool Party border die using watercoloured cardstock. Then watercoloured the elements on the die. For the background, I sponged some Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean distress inks for the sky and Frayed Burlap for the sand. I then brush using wet brush to smoothen and blend the colours. Also I spatter some plain water. Once dry, I adhered the Pool Party die on the card front. The sentiment is from Summer Love stamp set. Here is a close up of the card. I love these dies below. So summer and great to coordinate with other dies and stamp set from Taylored Expressions. I love love On the Line Cutting Plate. When I saw it, it was a must have die in my collection. I love that the trees can be used with of without the leaf layers. They frame the card beautifully and so much space to add, clouds, landscape and other elements like animals, house.... This die set also comes with a clothes line and some banners and lantern. On my card I have used On the Line Accessories dies on my clothes line and the birds and squirrel are also from the On the Line Accessories die set. I die cut the tiny elements using white card stock and copic coloured them all. So adorable. I also sponged some distress inks on the tree leaves and blue panel to add to some shading. Perfect clear blue sky summer's day scene. Here is a closeup. Finally I have couple of cards using Wild About you stamp set and dies. For the above card, I stamped copic coloured and die cut the monkeys, I die cut the On the Line cutting plate using Chocolate Truffle cardstock and also a hill top using the Build a Scene - Rolling Hills die using Sweet Basil card stock, sponged Mowed Lawn distress inks for some shading. I layered and adhered them on the Sugar Cube card front, then added the monkeys tucked under the tree. I then added one Swirly Cloud die cut using Cookie Monster cardstock. The sentiment is from Wild About You stamp set. ON this card, I die cut Build a Scene - Rolling Hills using Sweet Basil cardstock, sponged some Mowed Lawn distress inks. For the clouds, I die cut using Swirly Clouds die set in Cookie Monster cardstock. Then sponged some Salty Ocean distress inks. The giraffe is from Wild About You Stamp Set stamped, copic coloured and die cut using the coordinating die. The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. There are so many beautiful stamp set and dies which are perfect for summer from the Taylored Expression new release.

Happy Thursday Taylored Expression Fans and Crafty Friends, We made it! Today is RELEASE DAY! Today, I am sharing the last of this week's projects. I had a great time showcasing Easter cards for a variety of card afficionados. These last cards are no exception. Introducing the Hip Hop Bunny and Third Day Border! Okay, does this card not bring back flashbacks of Swatch watches, double-layered, colored socks, boomboxes and the like? The sayings with the Hip Hop Bunny stamp and coordinating die, will have you jammin' to old school Hip Hop. To create this card, I used a few musical favorites from the TE collection...Musical Background, Little Bits-Record and Just A Note. To create the ombre focal point, I inked a Sugar Cube panel with Lime Zest and Lemon Meringue ink. I then die cut an inset square using the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets. The bunny was stamped, colored, die cut and then adhered to an action wobble, so he could, you know, shake his rump. I will be honest, it took me about seven tries bunnies before I was happy with this one. Shake on, Hip Hop Bunny Card number two pairs Third Day Border with Words of Faith-Easter. To create this card, I inked a Sugar Cube card panel with Candy Corn, Pineapple and Sprinkles dye ink. I then heat embossed the vellum using gold embossing powder and the Words of Faith-Easter. The Third Day Border was die cut from Sugar Cube cardstock and adhered to the Ornate Frame die cut. A bouquet of florals with palm branches complete this card. Thank you for stopping by today.
