Welcome to Day 2 of the Taylored Expressions June Sneak Peeks! Today’s projects take you to the beach! June products will be released Thursday, June 9 @ 7 AM PST!
My first project features the Simply Stamped – Pineapple stamp set with coordinating dies.
I used three inks to create the pineapple base – Lemon Meringue, Memento Cantaloupe and Candy Corn – and two inks for the stems – Granny Smith and Peapod. The just-released Taylored Expressions inks worked so well for the layering technique – they cover well and the inks coordinate with one another. After stamping, I cut the pineapples with the coordinating dies.
I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it with one of the dies in the Banner Stacklets 4 set. I finished the card with a frame cut with one of the dies in the Frame in Frame 2 Cutting Plate set.

For my second beach-themed card, I pulled out the previously released Beach Border die (this may have been one of the first TE dies I ever owned), against which I set a scooter cut with On the Road – Scooter.
I used the Happy Summer Banner for my sentiment and embellished the scene with Little Bits – Flamingo. I cut a sand hill with one of the Build a Scene – Rolling Hills dies and dry-embossed it with the Honeycomb folder. I finished the scene with a frame cut from the Stitched Frame Stacklets 1 set.
