I have created quite a few cards with this collection so far and had a difficult time selecting which ones to share with you today. Hope you enjoy and are inspired =)
Tropically Yours
The tropical characteristic that speaks to me are all of the beautiful colors. That is what inspired my first card. I started by stamping and die-cutting the leaves in the Leave Me in Paradise set. The leaves are stamped in: Coral Cabana, Lime Rickey, Grass Skirt, Daydream, Juniper Mist and Royal Treatment. To bring in the feeling of water, I stamped the Canvas Grunge background in Aquatini on a white 4 x 5-1/4 inch card panel. To this background panel, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Tropically Yours set twice in a copper color.
I spent some time arranging the leaves. Two of the leaves are adhered to the background panel with foam tape and the others are adhered with a tape runner. The background panel is adhered flat to the card base with tape runner.
Be Fearless…..
The sun and the sentiment in the Fearless Pursuit stamp set inspired me to create this card. I simply adore this sun and positive and uplifting messages are also a good thing! This card is just some simple stamping: Sentiment – Black Jack, Sun – Limoncello and Tiara, Tops of Palm Trees – Lime Rickey and Grass Skirt, Palm Tree Trunks and Dotted Border – Icing on the Cake.
Sending You Good Vibes
I try to share a rainbow every now and then. What better way then to do so using a border from the Good Vibes Border set and use the emboss resist technique. First I took a white card panel and did some repeat stamping with one of the border stamps. These borders were heat embossed in a bright white. I then applied ink with ink blenders in rainbow order: Be Mine, Coral Cabana, Limoncello, All that Jazz and Grape Crush. Instead of using that ink blended panel as is, I cut in several pieces in a diagonal. I used three pieces for the card and spaced them apart a little. The dots (Fearless Pursuit) and the first part of the sentiment are stamped in midnight. Good Vibes is stamped in the beautiful, Coral Cabana. The sentiment is also from the Good Vibes Border set.
There are limitless creative options with the Tropically Yours Collection. We can’t wait for you to get yours and see what you create.
