Hello and welcome back (to) my little blog.
Today I am taking part in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights.
This is a fun blog hop, where Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world jump in and share fun cards using the latest products.
Today I have a card to share with you using the Tropical Oasis suite of products.
This is a card that I actually sent to Kylie herself to thank her for being so awesome!
I have also CASE’d and been inspired with this card from a sample from the catalogue.
I always find that the best place to start, especially when using a new suite for the first time!
See Kylie’s blog for all the blogs that have taken part, and links to all the products I have used – which you can purchase in my shop here.
Here’s a look at the finished card.
Do you want to know something cool? This actually uses the Tropical Oasis Memories and More cards with one of our awesome Memories & More Cards & Envelopes.
These actually make card making so quick and easy!
All you need is a fun M & M card (sounds like lollies doesn’t it?) and add it to one of our pre-cut card bases that are designed especially for these cards (they are a big bigger than the metric sized card base that we usually use)
I have also used that super FUN pineapple die. Pineapples are one of my FAVOURITE things and were actually my pregnancy craving when I was pregnant with my son Elijah. Funnily enough, I found out I was pregnant whilst on holiday in Queensland (the land of pineapples) … coincidence much?
To create the pineapple like this I have actually die cut it from Pineapple Punch cardstock and then lightly sponged some ink over the top and used a sanding block to lightly sand and create some texture.
I have cut the top of the pineapple Granny Apple Green cardstock and lightly sponged Old Olive ink on the top to create a darker look on the edges on the leaves.
Here’s a close up of the finished card.
I have embellished the card with some Braided Linen Trim, some Linen Thread and one of the gorgeous Tropical Oasis Trinkets.
I stamped the gorgeous ‘Our Friendship is Time’ from the coordinating Timeless Tropical stamp set as I really wanted to create a friendship thank you card.
I have also decorated the inside of the card, couldn’t have a naked card.
So I have added a sentiment ‘Thank You’ and a fun pineapple stamped in Pineapple Punch.
