More Card Ideas Using Stampin' Up! Tropical Oasis Suite

  • Stampin' Up! Tropical Oasis Suite
  • Timeless Tropical Stamp Set for Tropical-themed Cards
  • Final Days to Register for  Little Ladybug and More Card Class.  See below 
  • Stampin' Up! Tropical Oasis Suite

    I'm still playing with the Stampin' Up! Tropical Oasis Suite.  It includes the Timeless Tropical Bundle, which is the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set and the In The Tropics Dies.  This suite offers so many items, you'll want to get a close up of them by visiting pages 38-40 of the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog.  It definitely has a tropical vibe with some pretty killer color combinations that are ideal for planning a great escape full of sunshine, tropical sandy beaches, and leafy palms.            
    




This card, above, uses the coastal weave 3D embossing folder to create the background using a So Saffron basecard.  Then a print from the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper Pack is matted using Lovely Lipstick.  The two leaf images are die cuts using the In The Topic Dies.  The sentiment is stamped in Lovely Lipstick onto a Whisper White cardstock, matted with Lovely Lipstick.  Four Metallic Pearls were colored with a Dark Lovely Lipstick Blends Marker. 
                   




The messy ribbon bow is created using the 1/8' Lovely Lipstick Grosgrain Ribbon from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  This suite is perfect for masculine birthday cards, creating vacation surprise cards, to use for someone retiring, or to celebrate a destination wedding or anniversary.  





Watch for details about the other two cards in this photo in the near future on my blog.  You'll love using the Tropical Oasis Suite including the Timeless Tropical Bundle, the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper, and the Memories & More Card Pack to create beautiful cards.  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 $100 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 catalogcontact me.   I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Beautiful cards using the Sale-A-Bration Kerchief Card Kit

  • Stampin' Up! Kerchief Card Kit
  • Order your March Paper Pumpkin Kit . .  with two stamps in this kit
  • Make Handmade cards in the Little Ladybug and More Card Class
  • Stampin' Up! Kerchief Card Kit 

    You'll love making handmade card project using the FREE Kerchief Card Kit from the 2020 Sale-A-Bration Brochure by Stampin' Up.   I'm really bad about following written instructions, so I didn't look at the suggested card layouts until I finished my two cards.  My designs were close, but no bandanna. (Get it? Kerchief...Bandanna?  Yes? No? . . . Sigh)  Okay. No matter. You'll enjoy using the kit as designed to make 8 cards; two designs.  But you might enjoy putting your own spin on these cards using your own design.  The Kit includes pre-printed sentiments, printed die-cuts, gold foil and vellum accents, twine and printed card bases and envelopes.  And this is a FREE Sale-A-Bration selection with a $50 Stampin' Up! order (less tax and shipping).    Check out this kit on page 9 of the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.            
    




This first card is pre-printed.  I applied the gold-dotted velum with glue dots behind one of the gold dots in each corner.  Then I added the Night of Navy oval shape included in the kit.  Then, I added gold leaves and gold flower die cuts from the kit to the backside of the pre-printed rose die cut using glue dots.  I glued the rose and leaves to the Night of Navy oval.  Then I selected one of the pre-printed sentiments from the Kerchief Card Kit and popped it up on Dimensionals before adding it to the card front.      

The Kerchief Card Kit includes coordinating envelopes to use with your card creations. 
                   




This next card uses the same elements as the card above.  Instead of a horizontal card, I turned this card vertically.  Most of the elements are the same as above.  However, I selected a different pre-printed sentiment from the kit for this card.  

  
     

This is the two designs side by side.  You'll love how fast this card kit goes together.  Look through the  January -June 2020 min Catalog.  Put together your order .  If your order is $50 or $100 (less tax and shipping), you'll 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 catalogcontact me.   I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
