Saying Goodbye to Tropical Chic

I create 2 bright and colourful cards using the Tropical Chic stamp set today! This set & dies are retiring, so if you love 'em and don't have 'em, get them soon! View retiring products HERE

These colours are sooooooo tropical - Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock!

Remember to dress up the inside of your cards!

Experimenting with colours is fun! Try different colour combinations - you may surprise yourself!

This card was inspired by US Demo Wendy Cranford. I changed it up a bit, adding my own touches. As mentioned in the video below, I used Thick Whisper White for the top layer.

Tropical Chic - Stampin' Up!

Happy Friday! I'm soooo not good at keeping a fun secret, but I managed! I had asked my readers on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to vote on a colour combo that I would use in my Lolly & Sand Fun Friday video on Facebook.

Here's the choices they were given:

Row 1 was the combo with the most votes - so that's what I made in my video today!

What a pretty combo for the Tropical Chic stamp set - Lemon Lime Twist, Highland Heather & Coastal Cabana

After stamping the sentiment, I die cut it using a circle die from Stitched Shapes Framelits, and adhered it to a piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock that I had die cut with one of the Layering Circle Framelits.

Once everything was stamped I added a layer of Lemon Lime Twist & adhered everything to a Highland Heather base.

What my viewers didn't know....and this is the fun secret - I had made up cards in the other colour choices to show them! Check out these cards...

I love how these colours practically pop off the page! Granny Apple Green, Tranquil Tide and Shaded Spruce on Whisper White...pop!

The images are so crisp and clean!

I think this is a wonderful testament to the quality of the stamps from Stampin' Up!

All the stamps I used are from the Tropical Chic set. I'm so delighted whenever I see a sentiment with more than one style of font! Pretty!!!

Now...my last card was even more of a surprise! Although my voters didn't know what stamp set I would be using, even I gave a big WOW when I saw the finished card. Big WOW!

Smoky Slate, Basic Gray & Gray Granite. I think I'm in love!

I used Smoky Slate for both words - die cut from Sunshine Wishes & Celebrate You Thinlits, but I felt they looked a little bland. Wink of Stella to the rescue!! The sparkle was precisely what was needed!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on these card & colour combos. Do you have a fave?

Please feel free to leave me a comment.

If you're in Canada, and don't have a demonstrator, I would be happy to be your creative coach! Whether you're a customer or choose to join my team, I'm here to help!
