Get in a "Tropical" mood looking at this card (made with Tropical Chic by StampinUP)

This card was made back in October at my Luau Party I had!!
(just realized I did not post it at the time-- oops)

Anyway, the color combo includes:
Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Early Espresso

The flower was fussy cut and easy to handle.
Across the bottom it was a little tricky to stamp 3 of those
striped images all lined up in a row.  The rest of the card was a pc. of cake!!

Of course I used the Tropical Chic stamp set from pg. 93
in the Annual Catalog.  That was pretty much it as far as SU products.
(except 4 colors of ink)


In closing.......remember Sale-A-Bration ends March 31st (tomorrow)!!
If there are any of the FREE products you are still wanting, please
let me know and we can get your order placed by the deadline.

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY......LORI

Noble Peacock Foil Sheets meet up with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder


 The card below was cased from LeeAnn Greff &
then I switched it up to make this one as well.

Music From The Heart is one of my favorites from the Mini Catalog!!
I fussy cut the guitar & it was pretty easy to do.
The layer of vellum cardstock was cut with the Rectangle Stitched Dies.

The black & white color combo is really stunning
with the Pretty Peacock Foil Sheets (pg. 167- Annual Catalog)


I made this card (idea from LeeAnn) for a recent class project.
The Sale-A-Bration Power of Hope Bundle was used.
I added a couple of Noble Peacock Rhinestones.

As always, I would enjoy your questions and/or comments.
Let me know what you think of both these shiny cards.
Be safe-- its scary out there right now.....
STAY HOME & CRAFT!!  LORI

Have You Seen The Three Cheers For You Kit in the Stampin UP Mini Catalog?

 I really like the 4 cards in this kit......check it out on pg. 59

 I left the linen thread off this one, but otherwise just the same
as the directions show.

The stamps that come with the kit have some great
sentiments.  Not sure where this thanks comes from though.
(must have just been sitting out on my craft table & I grabbed it)


Anyway, its a great kit to have for yourself or make
up the cards as a gift for a friend.  The box thats included is SUPER CUTE!!
Have a good day, and thanks for your visit......LORI
