I have two cards to share with you today!  My first card features a FABULOUS new addition to the Moka Colllection, designed and illustrated by Nancy McKinney, the sweetest little hula girl, Moka Lani!  This is a petite stamp set which includes 5 images/sentiments on a 3 X 5.5 full color sturdy storage panel.  When Meredith saw this stamp she was SO excited!  She is PERFECT for us to add to her American Girl Scrapbook, since she chose Kanani as her doll!

I just LOVE this sweet new addition to the Moka line!  I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored her with Copic Markers.  I cut out and embossed her with Petitie Oval Nestabilities and then drew in a frame around the image with my Copic Multliner.  I did the same with the sentiment panel which features "Mahalo".  I added a few of Taylor's Tiny Twinkles underneath the sentiment as well with the help of Embellie Gellie.

The patterned paper is Splash from Echo Park Papers (LOVE) and used the AMAZING new Wave Border Taylored Die for the waves on the bottom!  I created two strips and added some Crystal Stickles to represent water.  A few more frames with my Copic Multliner and some White Brads finish this one off!

Here are the Taylored Dies I've used on this card:

My second card today features the GORGEOUS new set, A Day In Paradise!  This set was illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line and is a full sized set on a 5.75 X 8/5 full color sturdy storage panel.  It includes a combination of 21 solid and open line images and coordinating sentiments in a sophisticated Cape Code style!  Like all of the stamps offered from Taylored Expressions, these are made from top quality deeply etched rubber in a cute shade of pink and come on EZ Mount already trimmed and ready to be used with your acrylic blocks!

My parents often vacation in Ogunquit, Maine, so as soon as I saw this set, I knew I had to make my Mom a card with it!  I stamped this darling beach cottage in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers.   All of the patterned paper is Seaside from October Afternoon.

Using the Cloud Duo Taylored Dies, I cut out two clouds and stamped a sentiment from A Day In Paradise on each, "Relax" and "Enjoy".   It's a bit hard to see in the photo, but I used the AMAZING new Chicken Wire/Woodgrain Impression Plate on the Kraft panel.  LOVE!

I added a picket fence cut with the Picket Fence Taylored Die right near my beach cottage and adorned it with some Baker's Twine and Red Jenni Bowlin Vintage Button (LOVE these).  TONS of stitching finish this one off!

Here are the Taylored Dies I've used on this card:
