I meant to show you this a while ago. I had my ALOHA Catalogue Kick-Off a few weeks ago. This was the tag I made up to go on everyone’s gifts that came along to the fun event. This is using the gorgeous Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper.
The strip of paper was 5cm wide by about 10cm long. (2″ x 4″). I cut a piece of white card to that size and adhered it on the back of the paper to make it more rigid but also so I could write a little Thank You message on it.
The corners were punched with the Detailed Trio Punch. To decorate it I heat embossed the pineapple in Copper Embossing Powder. It was nice and shiny although you can’t see that in the photo.
From red card I diecut a small frame from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to adhere the pineapple to. They were raised up with Dimensionals. Thread through some of the Mint Macaron Sheer ribbon to finish it off.
They were quick to make once I embossed and cut all the pineapples. To make it quicker you could just stamp them.

Wednesday’s WOW! #96 today I want to show you the new punch in the catalogue. The Braided Border Punch. I think it is pretty but I think there are a few tricks to using it too. So let’s check it out.
You can find it on page 29 of the 2020 Mini Catalogue.
As with most of the border punches, to punch your card. Slide in your card, rest the card against the small ridge on the punch and press down. Then to re-punch, slide the card along and you can match up the pattern on the base of the punch. Then you can punch again. Repeat this along the card for the length you want.
You can buy the punch on it’s own but it co-ordinates nicely with the Beautifully Braided stamp set.And getting the bundle saves 10%!
In the stamp set is a lovely “lattice” style stamp that can stamp over the punched Braided border. There is also a flourish stamp strip too.
But how you can line this up easily on the punched piece? I have some tips for you today.
Using the Stamparatuswill greatly help you.
Firstly punch your piece of card to the length needed.
Place your strip of card in the Stamparatus. Place it in the corner to rest the card against the edge so it is lined up.
Position the stamp upside down on to the punched piece so you can line it up properly with the punched area. Using the side plate close up the Stamparatusplate to pick up the stamp.
Ink up the stamp, Fold over the plate to stamp on the punched card. If you need to stamp further along then, slide the plate down the hinges, ink up the stamp and stamp down again.

Hope these tips are helpful to get the best out of this gorgeous punch. Below are some samples from Stampin’ Up! to show these lovely stamps and punch.
This is pretty with the rows of punched braids. This one has the flourishes stamped. I think it would help to line this up on the Stamparatus as well.
This one below has ribbon threaded through the braids. That’s a clever idea!
You will find the Beautifully Braided Bundle in my store now -> HERE. $61 AUD.Why not grab some card or some other items to reach the $90 so you can choose one of the free Sale-A-Bration products.

I can now share you my card I created for our recent Team Shoebox Swap. I have shared the other cards recently. This card was also the card I created for a group swap I was in.
I have used the Power of Hope stamp setand the 3D Stone Embossing Folder.
The black card was embossed with the embossing folder and you can’t tell in the photo but I swiped over the Versamark inkpad over the raised embossed parts on the card and it gave a little shine.
The Petal Pink card was stamped with the tree from the Power of Hope stamp setand the “Dots” were from the Beauty Abounds set.
The lady she was stamped in Memento and coloured with the Rich Razzleberry, Petal Pink and Black Stampin’ Blends. The white card was cut with the largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The sentiment was a bit bare just in white so I also cut a small piece of Gold Foil both diecut with the small rectangle from Stitched Rectangles Dies. I finished the card off with a little of the Petal Pink Metallic Edged ribbon.
Hope you like it. I have made this card quite a few times now.
This Power of Hope set is available Free as a Bundle with the Embossing Folder for Sale-A-Bration with orders over $180 AUD. I hope you be sure to get your set before the end of March. I think it’s a beautiful set and just a little different to others we have.
It’s time for another Sunday Suites. I have been sharing a few projects recently with the Tropical Oasis Suiteof products but let’s look more closely at them in more detail.
Here we have the full Tropical Oasis Suite Bundleof 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 Suitehas 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).
Wednesday’s WOW! #95 – Today I am giving you some Tips using the Birthday Dies.
The Birthday Dies are now available as co-ordinating products with the Happy Birthday To You Stamp set from Sale-A-Bration.
When I went to use them for the first time it concerned me as the cake stand doesn’t line up with the cake stamp set. It is a different shape. That’s ok. Just trim off under the base of the stand. So you are cutting the leg of the stand off.
Then it’s easier to adhere the cake stand on to the cake.
I love these dies as they give a lot more layering to the set. You have the 2 different leaf shape dies and there are 2 on each die making it quicker to cut. They cut so easily too.
The other larger shape in the set is for the flowers. To use this one, stamp your cake on your card then also stamp the cake on another piece of card. After colouring the flowers on the additional piece you can diecut them and layer them on to your card. You could have several layers of flowers by stamping and die-cutting them several times.
Below is part of a card I have made recently with the stamps and the dies. I can’t show you the full card as this is my card for the Stamping Tutorialsfor this month. It gives you a peak though. 🙂 I haven’t used the flower shape dies on this card but lots of leaves and I have cut the cake stand too.
I think this is a really great stamp set to begin with but having the dies now really adds to this set. I love all the layering you can create.
TheHappy Birthday To You setis a free Sale-A-Bration choice with orders over $90 AUD.
Another tip:Purchase the Birthday Dies ($50 AUD),add another stamp set or ink/card to make your total to $90 then choose theHappy Birthday To You set for FREE. Winner! you can get both together. AND – ordering with me you will receive the Tutorial Bundlewith the card above as one of the projects. 🙂
Some of the loved products from the Mini Catalogue and from Sale-A-Brationnow have co-ordinating products to work with them.
Many people have loved the Happy Birthday To You stamp set from Sale-A-Bration. Now you don’t need to hand-cut that cake as there are Dies available even with a fancy cake stand! See you can have your cake – and Diecut it too. 🙂
The LittleLadybug setnow has dies too and what about the fun paper?? See them below or online ->HERE .These are while supplies last so be quick!
So if you have got any of these cute products, now you can have the co-ordinating products. Or if they are still on your wish list, now there might be even more reason to grab them.
Receive a 12 Project Tutorial Bundle as a little Thanks for your order.
Last week I shared a card with the Painted Poppies stamp setin a blue colour. I made another card at the same time too so thought I would show you that one.
I used the Stone 3D Embossing Folder on the Balmy Blue card as I did on the other one. The Poppies was stamped in Memento Black and then coloured with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends. Gotta love the new Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I used those to cut the white scalloped rectangle.
The sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetingswas heat embossed in white on black card and punched with the Classic Label Punch.
The Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon is so lovely. It is soft and so easy to tie in to a bow. Don’t forget you can colour this ribbon with your Stampin’ Blends if you want to match your project.
I’m thinking other colours for these poppies. Let’s see how we go with that one.
