July Release Roundup
Good morning! If you’re here in the U.S. I hope you enjoyed the long 3-day weekend and had a fun and safe 4th of July! I’m glad so many of you were able to join us for our July release on Friday! We have tons of cute new stamps and dies this month and the Baker’s Dozen and I had a great time showing them off last week during sneak peeks. If you missed out on the release, you can still check out all the new goodies (just scroll down to the post below this one)! Today it’s time for my traditional Release Roundup post. The Baker’s Dozen gals have outdone themselves again with so many amazing projects, but here are my favorites from each designer:
Melissa designed a beautiful card using Birds of a Feather. I love the sweet softness of the purple and all the texture she used in the design! And Jami took a totally cute and unique approach by creating her own background from the birds and birdcages. Of course, I’m drawn to the pink and black combo!
Wanda showed off the In the Clouds set by creating an adorable scene and interactive easel card fold. I love her sponged clouds in the background and the picket fence is a perfect addition! Karen G. paired In the Clouds with bright patterned papers on her adorable card. I loved the clouds impression plate in the background and the way she used the Cloud Border and Cloud Duo dies too!
These next two projects will surely make you say “Wow”! Both Regina and Sankari were so clever in their use of the stamps from the Life is a Circus set! I love how Regina used the poles from Hangin’ Out and a little Baker’s Twine to start her fun scene. And Sankari’s circus tent shaped card… so clever!
Moka Justin and Moka Taylor were also a big hit from our new release. I love the bright papers, the masculine embellishments, and the red hoodie on Tori’s card! And Moka Taylor looks so sweet on Jodi’s card with the patterned papers she chose and her gorgeous coloring!
Karen M. featured the cute seal on her Life is a Circus card. I just love her paper pieced circus tent and how she used the star border die to create a two-toned star border! And Charmaine used the fun circus clown paired with some summery patterned paper and lots of TE dies to complete her cute card!
Our Whimsical Wishes illustrator, Nancy, created this adorable little card with the Birds of a Feather set and dies! It’s so sweetly simple and yet includes lots of sweet details like the little pearl on the cage, green leaves, and the zig zag stitch! And Danielle treated us to her signature set of tags using Birds of a Feather! I love the sparkly birds and the pom pom trim along the bottom… not to mention all those beautiful pearly dots around the image!
And last, but certainly not least, our newest addition to the Baker’s Dozen, Melody, shared this sweet wedding card using Birds of a Feather during the sneak peeks. I love it all… the colors and patterns, layout, and how she perched the cute birdie couple on the cage! And just because there’s room, I’m sharing my own personal favorite that I created using Birds of a Feather too!
I hope you see something you like! You can find all of our new releases in the Fresh Out of the Oven department at the TE Store! Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
