Tropically Yours Stamp Of Approval Blog Hop Day #3

Hi Stampers!

Welcome to Day 3 of the Tropically Yours Stamp of Approval Blog Hop! You should have come from Jen's blog (full blog list below) and your next stop is Laurel.

If you’re new to Stamp of Approval – click here to check out everything you need to know about this amazing collection of Stamps, Dies and other goodies.

And make sure you are on the wait list so you get access to the collection at 9am ( if not sold out) on July 18th before goes live for the general public at 6pm (if not sold out). These collections almost always sell out, so if you're liking what you're seeing on the blog hop, you'll want to make sure that you have an opportunity to get your hands on this collection! (and trust me, you do!!!!)

This kit is such an amazing one, and I have feeling it'll fly off the shelves in record time.

For my first set of cards I used the Cabana Tiles dies along with Fearless Pursuit and Stand Tall sets for the sentiments. Watch the video below to see how I made the quilted look on these cards.






Next is a card on which I combined Fearless Pursuit and Leave me in paradise. I stamped border of leaves using Melon Ice, Lime Rickey and Grass Skirt, then stamped the sentiment in Midnight ink. Trimmed the panel to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered to green card base. 



For my next card I used Good Vibes Borders and Tropically Yours set and dies. I stamped the pattern using one of the border dies and the following inks: Aquatini, Lime Rickey, Tiara and Coral Cabana (NEW COLOR). I stamped the hibiscus flower in coordinating colors and die cut. Stamped the sentiment on black card stock and embossed in white. Assembled the card. 


And last, but not the least, another colorful card. I created the background pattern using Leave me in Paradise and Tropically yours, using the same colors as the card above, only added Grape Crush to the mix. Stamped the sentiment from Fearless Pursuit onto black card stock and embossed in white. Assembled my card onto Black Note card.

Ilina, each card is more beautiful than the last... I love the one with the repeated border stamp, but my heart melted over your quilted hexagons. I've tried doing the same pattern with fabric--much more difficult! I can't wait to try this with my SOA. Thanks for the inspiration!
