Timeless Tropical

Hello Friends… Boy howdy folks, my last post ‘Dance Through Life’s Storms’ danced my creativity level into having a luau right here in my ‘She Shed Tornado Shelter’! I’m posting a wide variety of cards created from the collection of ‘Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack’!

Here’s a glimpse of the cards and stickers that come in this marvelous pack ‘Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack’ #151255 for $11.00

Shown here is the coordinating Timeless Tropical Bundle #153811 for $52.00.

Here’s card #1… Are you feeling like going Banana’s? (lol, pun intended) In today’s world crisis it’s important for us to try to find some humor, right? Hopefully this cute punch art monkey will bring a smile to your face! She’s created simply with circles and an oval, her eyes and nose were hand cut. I thought the sentiment from ‘Rise and Shine’ was appropriate for a monkey who’s wanting a banana! You can earn ‘Rise and Shine’ free with a $50 order. Time is running out if your interested, Stampin’ Up’s Sale-a-bration event will be ending on March 31st.

Here are the measurements to create card base:

Card Base measures 5 1/2″ x 8 1/4″, placing the 8 1/4″ side horizontally and score at 2″ and 3 1/8″, flip card base to the other end and repeat scoring at 2″ and 3 1/8″. Fold as shown above.

Here’s Card #2… Yes I used the same layout because it’s so easy to do and makes such a dynamic looking card! I thought a Note of Thanks was an appropriate sentiment with the guitar/ukulele… you could always add musical notes if you wanted too!

Here are the measurements to create card base:

Card Base measures 5 1/2″ x 8 1/4″, placing the 8 1/4″ side horizontally and score at 2″ and 3 1/8″, flip card base to the other end and repeat scoring at 2″ and 3 1/8″. Fold as shown above.

Here’s Card #3… Same layout, I only used two colors of cardstock and one laying circle die! The sentiment on this one is a sticker! Talk about super duper quick card, this one is it! You gotta’ to try this special fold!

Here are the measurements to create card base:

Card Base measures 5 1/2″ x 8 1/4″, placing the 8 1/4″ side horizontally and score at 2″ and 3 1/8″, flip card base to the other end and repeat scoring at 2″ and 3 1/8″. Fold as shown above.

Here’s Card #4… Gotta’ different layout here, it’s a quickie too! The flamingo is printed on one of the 3 x 4 cards in the pack with the sentiment already on it! What a great sentiment for today, while the world is staying home! We can only imagine and keep positive thoughts while thinking we’re in a tropical paradise!

Here’s Card #5… I love, love, love this one! Yes… I’m a fruit! Here’s another quick card, this layout was made by simple using the Stitched Nesting Dies and the 3 x 4 fruit printed card from the pack. The pineapple was hand cut from another 3 x 4 printed card! The sentiment was from Timeless Tropical!

Here’s Card #6… This one was difficult deciding which side of the card I wanted to use as they both were outstanding! The sentiment used here is from the stamp set ‘So Sentimental’. The flowers/leaves are from the stamp set ‘Timeless Tropical and colored with Stampin’ Blends.

Here’s Card #7… I’m still having fun even if this is the seventh card, it’s amazing how each one has it’s own unique look!

Here’s Card #8… Super simple card but still a real eye catcher!

Here’s Card #9… The flowers on this beauty were hand cut from one of the post cards and accented with Crumb Cake and So Saffron.

Here’s Card #9… I saved the station wagon card for last as it was one of my favorites, lol, ironically it turned out to my least favorite of all the cards. Although I must confess that in the past I’ve designed cards with paper I wasn’t that fond of, however, after the card was completed I was amazed how pretty it turned out in the end, it goes to show you just never know! In spite of my not liking this one, I’m posting it anyway 😉

I’ve got to tell you friends… there are still some awesome cards in this pack left for creating. I’d love for you to give it a try. Thank you so much for taking a look today, I would love to hear what you think! Stop in again and say hi and be safe! Hugs!
