Hi there bloggy peeps and friends of Taylored Expressions! It's that time again...time for another wonderful product release! June will not dissapoint - I guarantee it! Release week goes for four days, so make sure to come by each day and see what's new from Taylored Expressions! On Thursday I'm sharing a cool new border die designed by....ME! Yup! It's an idea I've had for a long time, and it's finally come to be. I can't wait to share it! Thursday is also the day everything will be available in the store. This release is all about Summer. LOVE it!
I'm sharing two cards today. First up is a card featuring the AMAZING new Ray of Sunshine Cutting Plate. Can I even tell you how many times I have tried to make a card like this - freehand? Oy. Well, now, with this new die, it's easy-peasy! So cool. Take a look....
How fun is this? The rays are PERFECT! I have thrown away lots of paper trying to do this. LOL. I know this is going to be a favorite from now on. Also, the center was made using the new Pinking Circles dies. They match so great with the rays. I used my favorite paper right now - Vintage Bliss....
Next up is a super gnarly rad surfing birthday card made using the new Ride the Wave stamp set and surfboard die! I love anything vintage Hawaii and this set is perfect for that type of project. I used some retro 70's colors to give my card a masculine touch.
These palm tree silhouetts are going to get a lot of use.... Cowabunga!
Thanks for coming by! LOTS in store for you this week!

Oh my goodness gilr! You know I will be making that beach card myself very soon! Such a cool retro feel and so simple and perfectly masculine! And then there's there dreamy girly card with the cutting plate! LOVE that and I think I just might have those papers on hand as well. Happy Release Week! :)
