Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis ~ Thank You Card Tutorial

These were really fun cards to make.

The colors are so fun and the stamp set I used, Stampin’ Up! Tropical Oasis just makes me happy! Very Hawaiian in my eyes and makes me feel like I’m on vacation!

I’ll have a list of the supplies I used to achieve this look. There is also a FREE PDF for you to download below!

This month I am participating in Kylie’s Monthly International Blog Highlights! Woot.

How fun is that?! So, Please take a look at my card and tutorial below, then please Vote for Larri!

I simply embossed the Terra Cotta Tile cardstock with the Basket Weave embossing folder, then cut a circle out of it (using the layering circle dies), sort of off to the right side, making a “window” where you can see through to the front of the card.

Then on the front of the card, I lined up my “thanks” stamp with this new window and stamped once with the Soft Suede ink pad. Then I stamped again with the Versamark and added the Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder before heat setting this greeting.

This is a terrific embossing technique for getting the exact color you want while also added a high gloss and raised image from the clear embossing powder.

The flowers were all stamped on the Whisper White Heavy cardstock with the Soft Suede ink. I then die cut the images and used our sponge daubers to just add a little color around them. I just dabbed on some Mango Melody, Terra Cotta Tile and a little Daffodil Delight.

The leaves were all stamped on the Whisper White Heavy cardstock with Pear Pizzazz Ink and die cut.

I then just put everything together. Added a layer of the Braided Burlap Trim, glued the flowers and leaves on top, then added 3 of the gorgeous Champagne Rhinestones to each of the small flowers.

This is definitely a multi-step card, however, it was fun and not difficult at all.
