Tropical Chic Circle Collage Cards

The beautiful leaves and blossoms in the Tropical Chic stamp set give you lots of elements that layer very nicely together. Add a few strips of the coordinating Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper and a sentiment, and you have a fresh & fun tropical card in no time!

Background Basics—I embossed the 4" x 5-1/4" Soft Sea Foam background layer with the Tufted Texture Impressions Folder, then secured it onto a Soft Sea Foam card base with some Tear & Tape and SNAIL adhesive. Next, I added a 2" x 4" strip and a 3/4" x 5" strip of the Tropical Escape DSP as a foundation for the tropical collage.

Floral Collage Elements—I stamped the large Tropical Chic leaf image in Granny Apple Green ink twice onto Whisper White card stock. The Tropical Chic blossoms were stamped in Blushing Bride ink. All of the images were die-cut with the coordinating Tropical Thinlits. I also die-cut a palm leaf out of Shaded Spruce with the same die set.

Bundle It & SAVE—Purchase the Tropical Chic stamp set and the Tropical Thinlits together in a Bundle to save 10%.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Southern Serenade birthday greeting in Shaded Spruce ink onto a Whisper White circle die-cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I popped that up with Dimensionals, then added in the layers of leaves and blossoms with Glue Dots and Dimensionals. I finished by adding some soft green Adhesive-Backed Sequins floating around the sentiment. I love the soft look of these colors!

Two Cool—For the second card, I did a horizontal version with the background in Blushing Bride. I changed up the DSP a little, but kept the same basic collage elements.

Sweet Sentiment—The sentiment on this one if from the Tropical Chic set. I used the iridescent sequins on this one. So pretty! I wasn't sure I wanted to get this bundle, but I'm so glad that I did!
