This week it’s been hot & humid, perfect for my first pool time of the year and for making cards using the Timeless Tropical Stamp set and coordinating In the Tropics Dies. I’ve paired these products with the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper to make a pocket folder and three cards, including a shutter card.
Below is a list of all the ink colors used:
- Mango Melody
- Daffodil Delight
- Real Red
- Soft Suede
- Pear Pizzazz
- Old Olive
- Pool Party
- Pretty Peacock
Here is the front of my folder using a 10″ x 9″ piece of designer paper along with some Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon to tie it together. Don’t forget to add the ribbon before adding the front layers, it’s more secure.
Here is a view of the inside, using my Paper Trimmer I cut a small thin triangle away from the bottom center to make the pockets lay flatter then closed, mini glue dots are on the pocket outside corners only to hold them closed.
For the first card, the designer paper is layering Pretty Peacock on a Real Red card base that flowers where stamped on around the edge. Flowers and leaves are backed with Stampin’ Dimensionals (tips of the leaves for depth).
Here is the front of my gate fold shutter card, held together with a belly band and decorated with a pineapple.
Here is the inside of my shutter card before I added some personalized writing.
The last card is a Pool Party card base with Pool Party stamped palm trees around the edges. The Whisper White die cut is from the To A Wild Rose Bundle.
All the cards have Holiday Rhinestone Jewels to make them sparkle – you can never have enough sparkle!
Don’t forget to decorate the envelopes!
