I am sharing with you today my first play with the Tropical Oasis Suite of products. I am in love once again. The stamp set and dies are awesome, the Designer Series Paper is Beautiful, and the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder is out of this world! It is my new favorite embossing folder.
The Coastal Weave Embossing Folder does a thatched weave, which is gorgeous, but the extra textures in the weaves is over the top. You will need the 3D Embossing Folder Plate for this and all of the newer embossing folders. For the perfect embossed piece ,the $10.00 price is not a major deal breaker.
Besides the gorgeous embossed layer, I have added a piece of the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper and some of the Braided Burlap Trim. There just wasn’t enough texture going on already! LOL!!!
For the focal point, I paired stamps and dies from the Timeless Tropical Bundle with the swirly base from the Painted Labels Dies. I colored the palm trees and pineapple using Stampin’ Write Markers. And I will say that I too hate you cannot purchase markers individually. However, when it comes to the red rubber stamps, the markers are a must have to use on stamps that require more than one color. My pineapple is a little unique looking. I was trying to copy the one in the Mini Catalog on page 38. But I got a bit more of the Terracotta Tile Marker than I intended. However, it is my pineapple and it can be a little unique!

HOST CODE
My January Host Code is X3U7BR2N. Please use this code for orders under $150.00. I will have a small perk for those with orders over $50.00.
The list below is the CARRYOVER List. Items from the Holiday Catalog that will carry over to the 2020 Holiday Catalog. They will not be orderable between the two catalogs however.
The card I am sharing today is made with the Power of Hope stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. In case you are not aware of what Sale-A-Bration is I have a quick explanation. During January – March when you purchase $50.00 in product (before shipping and tax) you get to choose a FREE product (Level 1) from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. And you can continue choosing more for each additional $50.00. There are some items that are Level 2 and they require a $100.00 purchase. These level 2 items are usually dies and punches.
Now on to the card.
The base of this card is Thick Whisper White card stock to better show of the bright Poppy Parade colors. It begins with the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. I layered each piece with Old Olive card stock.
The background of the focal stamp is from the Love What You Do Stamp set. I love the watercolor look of that stamp. It shows off the simple black ink stamped image.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I very much appreciate it. I hope you can enjoy your weekend and return next week for more projects.

Okay about the card……. I love Fun Fold cards and found this Buckle Card on Pinterest the other day. The video I watched was by CindyLeeBeeDesigns. I did not provide instructions since she did a great video for you to checkout. You can click the link to go to her video.
I paired the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set with the Lily Impressions Designer Series paper. Both are Sale-A-Bration items. I also used the Special February Release item of Lily Pad Dies. You can see the special release flyer at the bottom of the post.
Of course I generally get my color choices out of the DSP, and that was what I did here. I mixed Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape, Pool Party and Pretty Peacock card stocks. I also used Flirty Flamingo for the Lily. I stamped it with Flirty Flamingo Ink and then colored the shadow parts with the Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend.
The sentiment is from a new stamp set in the Mini Catalog named Thanks for the Laughs. It is a great group of sentiments. And these fit perfectly above and below the buckle strap. To finish off the card I used the Noble Peacock Rhinestones.
And here is a view of the Buckle part.
I will say I made a mistake on the buckle flap. I scored at 1/2″ instead of 1/4″. I did not think it was a big deal since the length was long enough to go through the slot. After attaching the lily though, the 1/4″ shorter length makes it a bit more difficult to get the buckle back through the slot. So keep that in mind when you try this. And I hope you will!!
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope your day is as special as you are!

I have received my preorder of the new releases for February that I have showing at the bottom of the post. One of my favorites, (WELL, truthfully I love all of them!), is the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper. It is designed to match punches in the Sale-A-Bration and Mini Catalogs. To showcase it I have a card I paired the DSP with an Annual Catalog stamp set.
I adore this DSP! It takes me back to the late 60’s when I had a pair of jeans that looked pretty much like this paper. Yikes! The DSP pairs with the Small Bloom Punch in the SAB catalog. It is going to carry over to the next Annual Catalog, so keep that in mind when choosing your SAB rewards!!
This card is for a young lady who loves cats and I was thinking of her when I was creating. So I paired a fun paper with the cute Nine Lives stamp set. It’s a simple card but with a layout that has unending possibilities.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please return tomorrow for another new project.

I am sharing one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration products today. It is the Kerchief Card Kit. Usually when I use these Kits from the catalogs, I add extra items in addition to the kit supplies. For these samples, I stuck strictly to the supplies given.
I did used products included in the kit, but I did not copy the cards in the brochure. They are similar, but I added and moved pieces around. Overall I give this kit a grade A! They were quick, easy, and fun to play with.
When I finish the other four, I will do my usual and add other items. I will share those with you as well and refer back to this post so you can compare.
I have taken the Paper Pumpkin kits on trips with me so I do not go into stamping withdrawal. This kit would be a great one to take as all you need are a pair of paper snips for the ribbon as an addition.
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you will come back for a new project on Monday! I am hoping for no rain this weekend. I hope your weekend goes as you want.

I have been trying to figure out a project using the Best Dressed Suite of products. When I saw the Global Design Project Sketch Challenge #222 the other day, I looked at the the Designer Series Paper, Best Dressed, and had the card in my head. Sometimes those ideas do not end up as I see them in my head, but this one did!
Here is the sketch my card is based on.
If you have not looked through this gorgeous DSP, I hope you will check it out in the catalog. It is on page 55 of the Mini Catalog. The colors are so vibrant. I have used both sides of one of the sheets of paper on this card.
The die cut I have the sentiment in is the perfume bottle label. Stampin’ Up! planned wonderfully and had a couple of the sentiments fit inside it. I added the single flower, which also has a matching die, for some dimension.
Measurements:
card base is 4 1/4 X 11
Whisper White layer is 4 1/8 X 5 3/8
Bottom DSP layer is 2 1/4 X 4 1/8
Top DSP layer is 3 3/4 X 4
The price for the Dressed To Impress Bundle is 47.50. With a package of Stampin’ Dimensionals, you are a little over the 50.00 needed for a FREE item from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. Enjoy these great products and get another one FREE!
I love all of the coordinating stamps and dies. Have you seen the flyers regarding some new dies that will be available in February? I have them showing just below my host code. They match some of the new stamp sets. WOOHOO!! And if you do not have the new catalogs and do not currently have a Demonstrator, please reach out to me. I will be happy to get the catalogs to you.
Thank you for stopping in today. I have all of the supplies I used at the bottom of the page.
