At this time last year I was spending a long weekend with my brother and his family in New Jersey and visiting Wildwood with them – this year there is no trip and I’m currently enjoying a “Stay-ca-tion” – relaxing in my backyard pool, a couple day trips with my husband and tropical drinks!
Since tropical drinks are my beverage of choice right now, I thought using the Timeless Tropical Stamp set for a few cards was perfect.
My first card using a Mango Melody card base and stamping of the largest flower around the edges. The smaller flower and pineapple are stamped for the focal image with a palm tree, both in a solid die cut and colored die cut. Smallest Stitched So Sweetly die was used for the greeting, which is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the second card I made, I’ve used the Pineapple dies from the set in Garden Green and Bumblebee – for the bottom of the pineapple, I traced the die and cut it out with Paper Snips then adhered the die cut piece to it. For the background I used a piece of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper cut to 3″ x 4″ and ran it through my embossing machine using the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder and matted on a piece of Early Espresso card stock. The greeting was stamped in Magenta Madness and cut out with paper snips.
