Today’s Tropical Escape Valentine was inspired by one of my cards from 4 years ago, shown below. You can view the original post here. I CASE’d (Copy And Share with Everyone) myself! What could be simpler!
The 1 1/4″ squares of Tropical Escape 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper from the Stampin’ Up! 2018-2019 Annual Catalog (shown below) are key to the design. Think of the endless possibilities with different, coordinating Stampin’ Up! patterns!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
Start with a 4 1/4 square card base of Whisper White Thick card stock, scored at the side.
Adhere a 3 3/4 square of Whisper White card stock with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Cut four 1 1/4 squares of the Tropical Escape 6×6 Designer Series Paper and adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use the Stamparatus to stamp the “with much love & thanks” sentiment in Shaded Spruce Ink onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. Trim to size with a Stampin’ Trimmer, removing the “& thanks” portion of the sentiment. Adhere with one Stampin’ Dimensional on the right and double-stacked dimensionals on the left.
A bold contrast! Use the Big Shot & stitched heart die (Stitched Labels Framelits) to crop a piece of Lovely Lipstick card stock. Adhere with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
Make a pretty presentation inside a Stampin’ Up! Clear Medium Envelope. Simply wrap the flap further and adhere for a neat and tidy fit.

I love this, Mary! These greens really pop. AND…I remember the first card, too, because I loved that one then. Such a great way to use bits of paper. ♥
Thanks, BK. I thought it was a fun change up from the original black and white.
What’s old is ALWAYS new again. TFS.
Thanks, Kadie. Wish I could say that about turning 60!
Love the Tropical Escape. Planning a class for our Card Club with it. One Card Wonder with Swag. Of course I’m doing a ton of prep work! Making about 35 kits with 4 cards each.
You will be busy, Linda. But what a fresh collection of patterns to use!
Love these pretty cards, Mary. The 4 squares are great for using scraps. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks, Hilda. I love how easily the tropical patterns coordinate.
I like this a lot. I will be saving this template to use in the future.
As Hilda commented above, it’s a fun sketch for using scraps. Just about any designer paper collection has possibilities, Sue.
