REST & RELAX! A perfect sentiment for a tropical oasis-themed card!
On Tuesday I shared the third sketch of my Stampin’ Pretty Sketchbook blog feature and promised to share a card using the #sps003 sketch along with the products from the Tropical Oasis Suite in the 2020 Mini Catalog!
You can see my collection of Stampin’ Pretty Sketchbook sketches on my blog page here.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card base of Whisper White Thick card stock.
Layer and adhere a 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 piece of Whisper White card stock to a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper together with Snail Adhesive.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper to 5 x 1 1/4.
Flag both ends with either the Banner Triple Punch or Tailored Tag Punch, resulting is a length of approximately 4 3/8″.
Double wrap with Linen Thread, securing with a bow as shown.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the following in Soft Suede Ink onto Whisper White card stock: hibiscus flower, leaves, and sentiment.
Crop the leaves and hibiscus flower with the coordinating In the Tropics Dies.
Color the leaves with the Light Soft Suede Stampin’ Blend.
Color the hibiscus flower with the following blends (center to edges): So Saffron Dark, Light & Dark Calypso Coral, Light & Dark Lovely Lipstick.
TIP: I mimicked the color of the flowers from the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper used on the card and envelope.
Use a die-cutting and embossing machine, Old Olive card stock, along with the embossed leave die (In the Tropics Dies) to crop the leaves.
Assemble and adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Snail Adhesive.
Trim the sentiment to 3 1/4 x 3/4.
Flag both ends with either the Banner Triple Punch or Tailored Tag Punch.
Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Add a Tropical Oasis Trinket as shown with a Mini Glue Dot.
THE PERFECT POLISH! Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere a 2 1/4 x 5 3/4 piece of Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Medium Whisper White Envelope.
Trim to size with Paper Snips. You can see my video demonstration with tips on adding designer paper to an envelope flap here.
