Hello! Welcome to Day 1 of the Taylored Expressions June 2018 Release Sneak Peeks. This release is all about summer and includes products for a number of summer-related themes such as 4th of July, Tropical, Under the Sea, and Food & Drink. The TE June 2018 release products will be available Thursday, June 7 @ 7 AM PDT!
My first project is tropical-themed and showcases the Do the Hula Stamp & Die Combo and Liquid Watercolors (yes – Taylored Expressions will be carrying these, and there’s information about a promotion at the end of my post)!
- I stamped and heat-embossed the hula girl and her skirt and colored her with a number of the TE Liquid Watercolors. Once dry, I cut the images with their corresponding dies.
- For the background, I sponged Sugar Cube ink on Blue Raspberry cardstock (new color intro this month) with the Set the Scene – Clouds Stencil.
- To complete the scene, I added a palm tree cut with the Build a Scene – Tropical set and a heat-embossed sentiment.
- I used a strip of the Hello Sunshine 6×6 Paper Pack along the bottom for a colorful ground.
Supplies (new products will be released June 7):
My second project is sea-themed and showcases a super cute set – O-Fish-Ally Awesome.
- I stamped and heat-embossed the whale image from the O-Fish-Ally Awesome stamp set and colored it with the Liquid Watercolors. Once dry, I cut the whale with its corresponding die.
- The card background was created with two stencil sets – Set the Scene – Waves and Bubbly. I first sponged Salt Water Taffy ink on to the background with the Set the Scene – Waves stencil. Then I added Moonstone Nuvo Glimmer Paste to the panel with the Bubbly stencil (masking any part of the stencil that was above the top wave).
- The O-Fish-Ally Awesome sentiment was heat-embossed on the background panel.
- To fill out the scene, I added die-cut sea plants cut with the Build a Scene – Underwater die set.
- And those bubbles above the whale? Those were cut with dies in the Snowman Shaker set!

Two brilliant, bright, fun cards. I loved the sea fishes set when I saw it and your card really makes it look fun. The Juls lady smiled fun and happiness at you, my daughter would love that x
Those two cards are great! Makes me think of our time when we lived in Hawaii! My daughter used to hula and I wish I had had this stamp set then. Thanks for sharing such great ideas!!!
These are great scenes on your cards. I love nautical themes and I’m especially crushing on the sea plants on your second card. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Wonderful scene cards. Makes me happy and looking forward to summer!
adorable, both. Especially love that bitty pink stripe on the first card.
They are both so sweet! I love how you used the stencils to create subtle backgrounds on both of them.
