I am celebrating by using the 'Timeless Tropical Bundle' 🍍, 

with a little bit of Pineapple fun.

'Do you like Pina Coladas?'
I have die cut the pineapple, using the 'Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, and colouring the paper with an 'Aqua Painter' and Ink pads.
Top: Colour with 'Old Olive' and add some 'Mossy Meadow'.
Bottom: Colour with 'Crushed Curry', and add 'Old Olive' & 'Soft Suede'.

Background:
*Splatter the 'Mango Melody' cardstock mat using an 
'Aqua Painter' and 'Mango Melody' ink.
*Stamp the sentiment.
* Emboss using the 'Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.
* The straw has been cut down from a paper straw!

The flowers & leaves are a sweet finish to my Tropical creation.

Next on the hop is Kim, and her absolutley gorgeous Tropical creation! 

You will love Kim's 'Celebrate' card.

Thankyou for visiting me and my Pina Colada!

We would love to see your project in our gallery. See you next Challenge.

'Resolution Solution' - Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop

Hi there, and Happy New Year!
The Creation Station Design Team are kicking off the New Year, and we have created using Organisation as our starting point.

You may have hopped to me from Sara?, or have started with me right here.

Enjoy my take on our theme, and then hop along and visit the Design Teams Blogs for some amazing creations.

I have decorated notebooks - ready to use as a diary or journal.

I have a handful of these little notebooks, and I have prettied them up using the 
'Timeless Tropical Bundle'.

I started out die cutting the flowers and leaves, using the 'Brights Cardstock' pack.
Adhering the die cut flowers and leaves around the sentiment.

The notebook and sentiment prior to adhering.

I love this little decoration!

You can add your own sentiment, and different coloured flowers to make it your very own.

'Rest & Relax'

A perfect little Travel Journal using the palm trees and the 

'Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder'.

I coloured the Frangipani with 'Watercolor Pencils' & a 'Blender Pen'.

Stamping the sentiment directly onto the notebook with 'Early Espresso' ink.

Next up is Dena and her always amazing creations.

 

Thankyou for being here, and I hope to have inspired you with my notebooks/journals.

Until next time. D x

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Mini 2020 Favourite

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

It's the very last Sunday of 2019, and the 'Stamping Sunday Design Team' are showcasing our favourite products from the NEW 2020 Mini Catalogue, available 3rd January, 2020.

Thankyou for joining me from Yvonne's Blog, or you may have started right here?

Enjoy what we have created for you, and we hope to inspire you with some gorgeous NEW products. 

Get your Wishlist ready...

I have created a 'Tropical Oasis' Shirt (not my design and how to make details below), 

and a card; remeniscent of a vintage style post card.

I stamped the Palm trees using 'Soft Suede' ink onto 'Very Vanilla' cardstock. Colouring the trees with 'Watercolor Pencils' and a 'Blender Pen'.

I daubed the edges of the die cut using a 'Sponge Dauber' and 'Crumb Cake' ink.

The oval element has been embossed with the NEW 'Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder'.

I then used the largest oval from the 'Stitched Shapes Dies'.

The Palm Trees background from the divine 'Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper'.

The 'Hello' sentiment stamped with 'Early Espresso' ink.

'Tropical Oasis DSP' shirt. 

You can make 2 shirts from 1 piece of DSP, 

and the tutorial to make your very own 'Tropical Oasis' shirt is here. 

Thanks to Carolyn Bennie for her Tropical shirt photographic tutorial - the best tutorial I have found!

'Rest & Relax. You deserve it'

Card insert: 7.5cm x 10 cm or 3" x 4" (trim if required)

Details...
Buttons: I created Coconut buttons by stamping the 'Birch Background' stamp using 'Soft Suede' ink onto 'Soft Suede' cardstock. 
Punching with a very small circle punch (from the 'Itty Bitty Bit Punch Set'), and making the dots with an 'Early Espresso' Stampin' Write Marker.
Pocket: Using the smallest die from the 'Stitched Nested Labels, die cut the DSP matching the shirt.
Trim approximatley 8mm or 3/4" from 1 end.
Fold over 3mm or 2/8", showing the back of the DSP.
Adhere the pocket flap, and adhere the pocket to the shirt.

Thankyou so much for being here, and I hope you have enjoyed my creations? 
Below is the list of the fabulous Stamping Sunday Design Team, and you won't be disappointed with what everyone has to share.
Wishing you a wonderful end to 2019, and looking forward to seeing you in 2020 - with the NEW Mini Catalogue!
