Hi and Welcome! It's time to kick off another fun and fabulous Taylored Expressions Release Week! We do this every month - four days of sneak peek projects brought to you by the Taylored Expressions Design Team. On Thursday, all the new products will be available for purchase in the TE Webstore! I hope you will come back each day and check out all the projects!
Today I'm sharing two projects made with new items! The first project is a sympathy card made with the beautiful Shade Tree Cutting Plate and new Shade Tree Scripture sentiment stamps. I love this new font and you'll see more of it during the week.
I love to watercolor with my Distress Inks! Just put a little ink on your craft mat or on a stamping block, add water, and paint! It's that easy! I used watercolor paper here. In order to get my sentiment I embossed it first in clear embossing powder. That way it will resist the color! Easy and fun!
When I finished the card I thought it needed just a tiny pop of color - so I made this pretty pink butterfly with the new dies.
My next project is a clip board that I made for one of my friends. She has lots of stamping ideas so I made her a pretty clipboard to keep in her stamp room! I just took a plain clipboard and covered it with some red cardstock. I added some of the awesome new Chunky Alpha letters and a flower! Such a cool project.
Taylored Expressions is celebrating Release Week with some fabulous giveaways! Visit the TE Blog each Sneak Peek Day this week for details on how you can enter to win.
That's it for me today! I hope you will hop on around to all the other designers' blogs and see their projects too. Lots of inspiration today - and the rest of the week.

I'm confused. Don't we already own this die and it has 3 different landscapes to do behind it?
Also, the A Muse gingham paper is now available for sale in a 35-pack of assorted colors. Woot!
