Tropical Retirement
>> Thursday, July 5, 2018
Good morning!
This is another fun pop-up card using DRS stamps:
Brush Beach Sunrise 768L, 4 in 1 Seashells 473F, Happy Shark 153G, Happiness Retirement 163G and Splatter Background 855H on the front
along with Karen Burniston dies (from Pop-up set).
I was hoping to make it look like this might be an island because
as you open the card it is most definitely an island scene!
The inside pops open with palm trees.
I used DRS stamps: Happy Shark 153G, 4 in 1 Seashells 473F, Happiness Retirement 163G (the rest of it), Happy Octopus 147E, Happy Seal 112E and Splatter Background 855H
The congratulations die is from ODBD.
I used a felt to make the coconuts (suggested by Karen B. on her instruction video) to make them look a bit fuzzy/hairy.
The ground is splattered to give the sand a bit of dimension/texture.
My next card is a take on a SCS sketch and color challenge.
I used DRS stamps: 4 in 1 Seashells 473F, the sun of Brush Beach Sunrise 768L, Flamingo Palm Tree Scene 878L and Sun Shine On You 417E.
I used a Lawn Fawn stitched die for the base, the squares and rectangle
are double stitched dies from ODBD. My scenes are stamped
and colored directly onto the base with a bit of
help from masking and stamp aligning and then the frame was made
with the dies and popped up over the scenes.
I added 3 teal matte enamel dots for embellishments.
Thank you for dropping by to visit today!
Go be crafty!

Robin! That retirement card is absolutely wonderful. I love the happy shark in the waves but those pop up palm trees are so fun! Wow. Your second card is so fun too - great colors, framing, and mixture of images. These are both total wow cards for sure. Hugz
Oh my goodness, Robin! These are just fantastic. I'm heading to the beach immediately!
These are fabulous summer cards, Robin! Your pop up inside is all kinds of wonderful & I love the waves on the front. Your window card is so fun w/ all the different beach scenes in the windows.
Super fun cards Robin! Your pop-up card is absolutely amazing - love the palm trees, hammock and all the cute sea creatures playing in the waves! Perfect card for retirement! Your window card is incredible too - love the colors you've got going on, especially the shells!
If any post can inspire me to be crafty, it's this one! What an amazing pop up card! It's like a vacation in a card...lol! I love the animals playing in the waves...So cute! And the more CAS tropical card is beautiful with the teal touches around the edges!
Oh my goodness, that pop up card is amazing! Love all those details. Die cutting the coconuts from felt is genius! Great combo of stamps on the second card.
