SUNDAY SUITES – TROPICAL OASIS SUITE!

It’s time for another Sunday Suites.  I have been sharing a few projects recently with the Tropical Oasis Suite of products but let’s look more closely at them in more detail.

Here we have the full Tropical Oasis Suite Bundle of products.

The Tropical Oasis Suite Bundle includes
* Timeless Tropical Cling Stamp Set (10% off)
* In the Tropics Dies (10% off)
* Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper
* Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder
* Tropical Oasis Trinkets
* Saddle Brown Stazon Ink Pad and Refill
* Timeless Tropical Memories & More Card Pack
* 5/16″ (8 mm) Braided Burlap Trim

I have a few favourites in this suite of products from the gorgeous Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper to the cute Tropical Oasis Trinkets.  The Timeless Tropical Memories and More card pack is so versatile as it makes some really cool cards with them not just for your Memory keeping.

This is the paper below.  If you want to check it out closer head to the Youtube video -> HERE.

Below are the sweet Tropical Oasis Trinkets.  I think they are adorable.   You receive 24 trinkets: 6 each of 4 designs
The Largest trinket is 3/4″ x 1/2” (1.9 x 1.3 cm).  Not bad for $13 AUD. I find the best way to adhere these to your projects is with a Glue Dot.

The Tropical Oasis Memories and More cards.  You know some of these would be great to frame.  Well I think so as I have a “coastal” sort of style in my house.

I love the texture that the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder gives on your projects.

A great addition in this suite of products is the Saddle Brown Stazon.  It’s great for your watercolouring projects and I think it is a little softer than the Black Stazon.  It gives a more subtle outline.  You can use the regular Stazon Cleaner to clean your stamps after using the Saddle Brown Stazon.  The refill is available too. 

Not only is it good for watercolouring it’s a nice Brown shade for your earthy, neutral projects.

Some more projects with this suite, just because. 🙂

The Tropical Oasis Suite has certainly been popular with my customers.  What are your thoughts of it??

You can see the Suite in my store -> HERE and order there as well. Or contact me directly.

After you place your order I will send you out the Tutorial Bundle of 12 projects (not all are with this suite).

Have a great Sunday,

Jenny

 

TROPICAL PINEAPPLE CARD!

I have created lots with the Tropical Oasis Suite recently getting ready for my launch last weekend.  I forgot to take photos of the actual event which was a shame.  We had a lot of fun with Hawaiian music and a lei greeting.  And lots of creating.  I will share photos of the projects shortly.

This card was a sample I made to show.  I wasn’t sure what to do with the pineapple die from the In The Tropics die set.  I found a card on Pinterest HERE that I CASED. I simplified it and changed it a little.  This was my card.

Isn’t the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper gorgeous?  On the leaves of the pineapple I sponged a little Old Olive Ink and lifted the leaves up for some dimension.

The sentiment was stamped on white and cut with the tiny curvy die in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I just added a small strip of the Braided Burlap Trim and frayed out the end.

Hope you like my pineapple card.

Have a great weekend,

Jenny

 

STAMPING AROUND THE WORLD JANUARY BLOG HOP – TROPICAL OASIS!

 

Back with another Blog Hop from some of the Stamping Around The World Tutorial group.

The monthly tutorials are put together by a number of demonstrators from around the world and we send the tutorials out as a Thanks for ordering OR you can purchase the tutorials too.  I send one tutorial project out as a Thanks for people when they join my newsletter too. (see the link in the side column)

For the projects with these Blog Hops we use the same stamp sets/dies that we used for our own tutorial project for that month.  This month I have a project for you using the Tropical Oasis bundle. I am loving this bundle for it’s freshness and memories of a tropical paradise.  I have been to Hawaii a few times so this brings back lovely memories.

Enough waffling – on to my project as that is what you all really came to see.

This card was designed from a sketch like this one -> HERE.

The sketch had an angled focus piece which I have created with the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper.  I think on looking at this now I should have angled the paper piece a little more.

The white card was embossed with the new Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

The hibiscus flower and the leaves from the Timeless Tropical Stamp set were stamped on Shimmery White card with Black Stazon and coloured with the Watercolor Pencils. 

TIP: when colouring, lightly colour and use the Aquapainter to wash over the colour slightly.  LET IT DRY! Don’t be in a hurry.  Allow time to dry.  It doesn’t take too long.  Then add some more colour to add a little more depth of colour.  Wash over it again then allow to dry. Then go back over it and add highlights.  It is a slow process I know but it gives you that depth of colour. It’s easier to add colour than take it away.

Before adhering the flower and leaves on to the card I added some loops of the Linen Thread behind them.

The sentiment was stamped on Crumb Cake card and cut with my new favourite the Stitched So sweetly Dies.  I added a little of the Braided Burlap Trim under the sentiment and just fluffed up the end of it.  To do this with your fingers rub the end and separate the threads until you are happy with it.  To adhere it to the back of the card I added a strip of the Tear and Tape on the back of the sentiment card piece and stuck the trim onto that.
