Good morning Tuesday my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today?
Yesterday I was telling you about cleaning my craft table off and finding lots of bits and pieces of cards that I started, but never did anything with. Well today’s card uses some more of the pieces I found lying around, so I thought I’d put them together to make another card for you. Here’s what I came up with.
I had the frame I had made using the Stampin’ Up! Swirly Frames Photopolymer Stamp Set which I stamped in Early Espresso Ink on a Soft Suede panel and cut out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I also had a beach scene which was created on a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I had stamped the sand from the Stampin’ Up! High Tide Photopolymer Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the water from the High Tide stamp set in Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana Inks. I sponged the sky using my Stamping Sponge, in Pool Party Ink. The birds from the Sailing Home Cling Stamp Set were stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the sky. I adhered the beach scene to the back of the frame using Snail. On a small panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the palm tree image from the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Cling Stamp Set which I colored using my Pear Pizzazz and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers. I cut the image out using my In The Tropics Dies.
I adhered the palm trees to the artwork using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, letting the palms hang over the frame a little. I adhered a panel of Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper to a Thick Whisper White card base using Snail. I adhered the framed artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the top of the sentiment from the Timeless Tropical stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I cut the sentiment out using my Classic Label Punch and adhered it to the artwork using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a pineapple from the Tropical Oasis Trinkets to the artwork using a Glue Dot.
On the inside I stamped the bottom of the sentiment from the Timeless Tropical stamp set in Early Espresso Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the palm tree image from the Timeless Tropical stamp set, which I colored using my Pear Pizzazz and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers, on the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Soft Suede mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the palm tree image from the Timeless Tropical stamp set, which I colored using my Pear Pizzazz and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers, on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of the Tropical Oasis DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Don’t forget to look around your craft table for card pieces that you started and never finished. You’d be surprised what you can come up with from pieces just sitting around. Happy Stamping!!

You and Amy are competing in the “Who is Karen going to CASE first today” contest! LOVE it! I do have a question for you. When you are cleaning up and have various pieces, do you have a method of remembering what sets you use or do you just have a great memory. I make a card one day, go to post it and then can’t remember what I used. The only way to compensate is to leave all the sets out until I have posted…that makes for a messy stamping area…lol.

LOL, Thank you so much Karen 🙂 CASE both our cards today. In the case of yesterday and today’s cards, I relied on my memory. These were pieces I found hanging around on my card table that I probably started with months ago. If I couldn’t remember, I looked through my sets, but for the most case I remembered them all. On a normal day, I always have scrap paper near by and jot down as I go what I’m using. When I sit down to do my blog I sort everything out then, but at least I have the stamp sets and colors that I used written down.
