Tropical Oasis - Coastal Weave Embossing Folder & Geared Up Garage Birthday

For this card I have used a piece of Designer Series Paper, the Timeless Tropical Stamp set for the palm tree and sentiment, also the In The Tropics dies for the "aloha" and to cut out the palm trees. The colours I have chosen are Garden Green for the Card Base and Terracotta Tile for the Embossed Card front.  

For this card I have used the Designer series paper cutting out some of the flowers from a piece the decorated around the sentiment label with them. The Red flowers are cut from the In The Tropics dies and the stamped sentiment is from the Timeless Tropical stamp set. I have highlighted the small flowers with Wink of Stella and the large red hibiscus flowers with red glitter unfortunately these cannot be seen in the photo.

For the 2 cards above I have used the Tropical Oasis Suite. Highlighting the detail of the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder I have decided to minimise the other components on these cards however still demonstrated different products within the Suite.

 Both of these cards have also been decorated on the inside to compliment the front of the cards.  

There are only 2 weeks left to purchase the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder as when the new Annual Catalogue is released on 3rd June it will no longer be available.

I made this card for a personal friend who's celebration had to be cancelled due to the COVID 19 pandemic however I felt that this was no reason not to help him celebrate it and chose to make this special card for him. I chose this theme as he likes to build, modify or repair cars and has one that he has slowly been working on in his spare time since we met. I chose the colours as I consulted his wife to find that Green is his favourite colour and many metal toolboxes are the colour red, also to make it look realistic and to add a different splash of colour.

The stamps and dies for the car and toolbox are from the Geared Up Garage stamp set and die cut using the coordinating Garage Gears dies.

The DSP is the paper that was available when the suite was originally released to match the set. The sentiment is not a Stampin' Up! product.
