Welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions June Sneak Peeks! June products will be released Thursday, June 9 @ 7 AM PST!
Both of my projects today have a summer-theme. My first project showcases the Sunshiny Day stamp set with the soon-to-be-released coordinating Sunshiny Day Dies.
I stamped the bird, tree and banner images with the just-released TE Oreo hybrid ink and colored the images with Copic markers before cutting them out with the corresponding dies. I stamped the sentiment with the same Oreo hybrid ink.
To add texture and visual interest, I cut a hill from Peapod cardstock with one of the Build a Scene – Rolling Hills dies and dry-embossed it with the Chevron folder.

My second project showcases the Garden Party embossing folder, which I inked with Taylored Expressions inks in Lollipop, Cookie Monster and Lemon Meringue. In areas where the inks overlapped they blended beautifully!
For the center section of the folder, I added a sentiment and floral clusters created with the Fresh Florals stamp set and its coordinating dies (stamped with Lollipop, Cookie Monster, Lemon Meringue and Strawberry Milkshake inks).
I added a frame cut with a die in the Frame in Frame 2 Cutting Plate set (the scallops on these frames give just the right amount of frill!).

I so love the second card. And I am so happy to see mini ink pads. They are definitely on my list!
Nice cards! Great colors — great for summer. Love the birds and the banner on the first card, the flowers on the second. Great job!
Lovely summery cards Jean. I love the birds on the first one, and the colours and stamping on your second one – very pretty.
