OSAT Blog Hop Purses Poppies and Paris
Timeless Tropical Birthday Card

The Timeless Tropical and In the Tropics Dies bundle
is one of my favorites from the new Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog!
What’s not to love with a couple of beautiful flowers,
versatile sentiments and a variety of dies to use for lots of added texture!?!
Of course, when you buy the bundle you save 10%

I know it’s the dead of Winter
but, I couldn’t resist playing with some bright, tropical colors.
And, I was dying to ink up this set!
Start with a Grapefruit Grove base.
Use the texture stamp from Label Me Bold to create a background.
Then stamp the palm trees from Timeless Tropical in Coastal Cabana.

Add some of the beautiful Tropical Oasis designer paper.
You’ll love the pop of color!
Then, stamp the hibiscus flower in Grapefruit Grove.
Next, add the sentiment in Coastal Cabana.
And finish with Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots.
Timeless Tropical Beach Tote Favor

Another favorite of mine is the All Dressed Up Dies.
I love making favors and gift boxes.
These dies are wonderful as the basic die cut can be
a purse, a tote or even a backpack.
And that’s without thinking outside the box!!
Plus, look at all those fun detail dies!
(Buy it with the Dressed to Impress stamp set for a bundle discount.)

To coordinate with the birthday card,
You’ll create the base of your beach tote from Grapefruit Grove.
Then, add a panel of Crumb Cake embossed with the
Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.
The texture is gives is gorgeous.

Add a strip of Tropical Oasis Designer Paper around the handle
to mimic a bright scarf.
Then stamp two of the small flower from Timeless Tropical.
Layer them with leaves cut with the In the Tropics dies.
And, you’re ready to fill your favor / gift bag.
