A CASE of Tropical Chic

Long hours at the office and a knee that's still being painful made me do it!  I try not to completely CASE someone, but this on was so beautiful that I just had to.  It simply jumped off the screen and into my "I have to make this" file and so I did!

This is CASE'd (Copy And Share Everything) from Dawn Olchefske.  Thank you Dawn for wonderful inspiration on this one.


Recipe:
Basic Black - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Blushing Bride - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White - 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" (this could actually be smaller at 3" x 3" or 3 1/4" x 3 1/4") to go behind the die cut leaves window
Whisper White - 2 3/4" x 1" for Sentiment
Granny Apple Green and Whisper White Scraps for Leaves and Hibiscus
Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper



I'm always needing Thank You cards, so I used the Thank You sentiment for this card.

Stamps - Tropical Chic
Ink:
Lemon Lime Twist (I don't have Granny Apple Green yet!)
Blushing Bride
Memento Black

When cutting out the Granny Apple Green leaves, keep them nested together when you die cut and you'll be very happy with the results.


Thank you for looking in today.  So glad it's the weekend and I have a workshop on Saturday!

Framed Tropical Chic

When I saw this card on Tuesday, I fell in love with it immediately.  The layers really caught my eye.  I think I'm going to make more in other colors.  I think it will be pretty with so many of them.

I'm CASEing this from Jodi Geers at Polka Dot Stamper.  She was featured on Angie Leach's Too Cool Stamping.



Recipe:  
Granny Apple Green (above) - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White - 5 1/4" x 4" (2 - one inside / one outside)
Granny Apple Green - 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"
Whisper White - 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"

Whisper White Scrap - for stamping and die cutting flower

I made two versions.  In person I like both, they look great.  In the picture below, the Lemon Lime Twist (on the left as you look at it) looks really washed out.



Stamps:  Tropical Chic
Ink:  Real Red, Memento Black
Dies:  Tropical Thinlits



Look how nice the popped up Whisper White looks.  Even my hubby commented on the "shadow box" look.


Thank you for looking in today!  We're half way through the week!

Tropical Chic Meets Deck Chair

Finally had a chance to play with my Tropical Chic stamps and Dies.  The pretty colors here are bright and cheery. 


Recipe:
Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 11" x 4 1/4", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Shaded Spruce - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White - 5" x 3 3/4"
Lemon Lime Twist - Adirondack Chair

Stamps:
Tropical Chic Bundle with Tropical Thinlits
Colorful Seasons with Seasonal Layers Thinlits (no longer bundled)

Ink:  Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide and Blushing Bride

I popped up the chair with Mini Dimensionals, get this, cut in half!  There's room for a couple of whole ones, but for the most part, they are halves.  I recommend the tip of your paper piercer, snips or tiny tipped tweezers.


Thank you for looking in today!  Have a Blessed Sunday!
