Good morning!! This is a big Tuesday for us – not cuz it’s Cinco De Mayo but…cuz it’s PRE-ORDER day!! Whoo-hooo! I’m excited to get a few of the new goodies – and start to share them with you. You’ll be able to get them for yourself on 3 Jun! Of course, you could also decide to join the SU! team right now and then YOU could be sitting at your computer picking new goodies!! 🙂 Interested? Give me a shout!
Of course – the dark side of new goodies is…saying good-bye to some old friends. Like…the Tropical Chic stamp set and coordinating Tropical Dies. These are in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. And – from the Jan-Jun Mini, I used some retiring Tropical Oasis DSP and the wonderful Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder! Take a look-see:
The layout – and the theme! – is from the FUSION challenge this week. I went for both sides!!
I started with a piece of Early Espresso card stock and embossed it in the Coastal Wevae 3D Embossing Folder (I am pretty bummed this is leaving us – hope you’ve got it. If not… 🙂 ). Then I matted it on Grapefruit Grove (the In Color I’m going to miss the most!) for the card front.
Next up, I used the square die in the Tropical Dies to cut a piece of Grapefruit Grove. Now – this die actually cuts negative space into a piece of cardstock. So, I used my Paper Trimmer to cut it out. I cut a same-size square of the Tropical Oasis DSP.
With Liquid Glue – I adhered the die cut to the DSP square – and then to the card front.
With Liquid Glue, I created a “twist” from a piece of 3/16″ Braided Linen Trim (also retiring!) and then used more Liquid Glue to adhere it to the card front.
I stamped the Tropical Chic sentiment in Shaded Spruce on a strip of Whisper White and snipped a banner end. With my Grapefruit Grove Stampin’ Write Marker, I edged the strip. Then I used Liquid Glue under the left end – and doubled-up Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the strip.
Using my Stamparatus, I stamped the little flower from Tropical Chic. I used the Marker-to-Rubber technique with the Grapefruit Grove Stampin’ Write Marker. I finished up the flower by adding some Shaded Spruce accents with my Stampin’ Write Marker.
Finally – I cut it with the die in the Tropical Die set and adhered it to the end of the sentiment strip with Liquid Glue. And that was it for the card front!
On the inside, I added a second Tropical Chic sentiment in Shaded Spruce to a Whisper White panel. Then I stamped the little flower in Grapefruit Grove and Shaded Spruce.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Grapefruit Grove mat and into my Shaded Spruce card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Tropical Chic flower on the front…
…and some more of the Tropical Oasis DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Tropical Chic – and the coordinating Tropical Dies (on sale for just $18.90!!) – is a really nice set – with pretty tropical leaves (with dies to cut them out!!) and sentiments!
And you ALL know how I feel about the wunnermus Tropical Oasis DSP!!
I hope you like – and will get these goodies before they’re gone! Remember – only the stamp sets are guaranteed thru 15 May. Everything else is strictly while supplies last. So…

Well – we turned the A/C on on Monday.
Bleh. I really love the windows open but…it was just too hot.
For us.
And for the fur-monger. He was sleeping in front of the back door – sleep-panting… 🙁
So – it seemed like a good day for ice cream.
He agreed!! 🙂
He REALLY puts his whole self into his ice cream!!
