    • Fast cards using Memories & More Cards 

    I've just begun to play with the Tropical Oasis Suite from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog.  I decided to open the pack of Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack first.  And I must say, the card ideas are just falling into place with this pack. Yes.  I know.  The Memories & More Card Packs are mean for scrapbooking.  But Stampin' Up! has designed them in such a way that they are great for fast, easy cards.  Plus, Stampin' Up! carries a number of basecards and envelopes sized perfectly to use with the Memories & More cards.  Check them out on page 171 of the Annual Stampin' Up! catalog.            
    




This image from the Tropical Oasis Memories & More card was perfect for this fresh card.  You can almost smell the fragrance of this gorgeous flower.  I added a mat of Cajun Craze, and a layer of Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, dry embossed with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.  This embossing folder is also part of the Tropical Oasis Suite.  Then I placed the images onto a Thick Whisper White basecard.    

The Sentiment is stamped in Cajun Craze onto Whisper White and die cut using one of the dies from the All Dressed Up Dies. What a fun card to surprise your spouse with a vacation plan, or to use for someone retiring to a warm climate.
                   




This next card uses another small card from the Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack.  I again matted the pre-printed card with Cajun Craze.  Then I layered that over a piece of yellow vellum from the Perennial Essence 12" X 12" Vellum Cardstock Pack, dry embossed using the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder.  Then, the images were mounted on a Thick Whisper White basecard.  

 The sentiment, from the Well Said Stamp Set, is stamped in Cajun Craze on a Whisper White rectangle die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  Then I colored 3 Gold Pearls using the Dark Cajun Craze Blends and scattered them on the card front.  So easy!  And a great card for a Retirement or a long Summer Vacation, or even a wedding!  Change the sentiment and you'll find several more uses.

  
     

The third card, the card on top of the photo above, uses two of the full-size cards from the Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack.  I used one as the basecard over Thick Very Vanilla, as it included a pre-printed label.  I fussy-cut the flowers and leaves and mounted them on Dimensionals before adding them to the card.  I added two strips of the new 5/16" Braided Burlap Trim under the flower and leaves.   The Braided Burlap Trim is also part of the Tropical Oasis Suite.   The Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack includes several pre-printed sentiments.  I chose the "thanks" to use on my card.  

You'll love using the Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack to create scrapbook pages or fast, easy cards.  The card pack includes 2 each of 25 designs -- more than enough to make cards plus scrapbook pages.  Look through the entire Tropical Oasis Suite on page 38-40 of the the January -June 2020 min Catalog.  You may wish to order the entire suite or individual items from the suite.  Either way, your $50 or $00 order allows you to select Free gifts from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.  You'll love everything you make with these wonderful products.

If you don't have a demonstrator and want a copy of the new, January-June 2020 Mini catalog, contact me.   I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
