Card: A Tropical Paradise!

Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post! I'm so excited to share today's project.  I was able to find lots of time to craft this weekend and it was wonderful! It is so good for the soul to find time to express yourself in a creative way.  I also love knowing that the cards that I make are bringing sunshine and smiles to others.  

And here is today's project...


Today's card is all about summer! It's all about those beautiful, tropical scenes along the beach.  This is such a fun girly card as well and perfect for any of those best girlfriends in your life.  I chose to make this a birthday card, but any fun, sweet sentiment will do.  

Start with a piece of Flirty Flamingo cut to size A2.  Add a piece of Tropical Oasis DSP cut to 2 1/4" x 5 1/2".  Using the stamparatus, stamp your sentiment in Flirty Flamingo ink and crop using the rectangle die-cut from the Ornate Borders die-cut set.  Add a selection of vellum die-cut leaves and secure your die-cut sentiment using pop-ups.  My vellum leaves are from an old Paper Pumpkin kit and I'm so glad I never get rid of extra pieces.  Add that lovely adirondack chair and some faceted gems for extra flair.
