I used the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical stamp set bundle to create a bright, tropical relax card to share with you today.  The sentiment was cut out with one of the new Tasteful Labels Dies and I added some of the pretty gold trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack from the upcoming 2020-21 Annual Catalog.

My card design is loosely based on CAS(E) this Sketch #372.

I started by stamping the flower image from the Timeless Tropical stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink on the front of a Coastal Cabana card base.  Then I cut panels of Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green card stocks with dies from the In The Tropics Dies.  I adhered the die cut pieces with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tropical stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I cut around the sentiment with one of the Tasteful Labels Dies (available June 3) and then adhered loops of gold twine from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (available June 3) to the back of the die cut panel with Glue Dots.

I adhered the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added three Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish the card front.

I stamped the pineapple image from the Timeless Tropical stamp set three times in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then colored the images with Light and Dark Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Markers to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this card, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.

I’ve created a printable PDF with written instructions and a list of products used to create this card.  You can download, print and/or save it by clicking this image:

Good news!!  The Stampin’ Pierce Mat Will Be Back Soon!

Stampin’ Up! just posted this update:

Due to its usability for a variety of papercrafting techniques, including as a work surface to get even ink pressure and coverage with background stamps, we have decided to continue offering the Stampin’ Pierce Mat (126199) as an annual catalog item and remove it from the retired list.

Please note that the item number for this product is currently shut off.  I will post an update as soon as soon as Stampin’ Up! lets us know that the Stampin’ Pierce Mat is back in stock and available to order.
