It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.  This week we're having a "Home Sweet Home" challenge.  

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #292 - Home Sweet Home #dostamping

For this week's challenge, I knew immediately what Stampin' Up! products I would use, the Tropical Escape Suite

From the first time I looked at the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog - I completely fell in love with this suite.  Two reasons, 1) I adore the color combination used in the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper and 2) The window leaf shape from the Tropical Thinlits Dies is to die for!  And I got to incorporate them both today!

How'd She DO That tips for Tropical Chic card:

  1. Stamps: Tropical Chic
  2. Paper:
    • Basic Black (11" x 4-1/4" card base)  
    • Blushing Bride(4" x 5-1/4")
    • Granny Apple Green (scrap for leaves die cut)
    • Whisper White (3-3/4" x 3-3/4" behind window, 2-3/4" x 1" greeting, scrap for flower & leaf.
    • Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper (4" x 1")
  3. Ink:  Blushing Bride, Granny Apple Green, Tuxedo Black Memento
  4. Other:  Big Shot, Tropical Thinlits, Granny Apple Green Ribbon, Basic Black Baker's Twine, Mini Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals
  5. Tip: 
    • After die cutting window shape in Blushing Bride panel, adhere 3-3/4" white square to back side, keeping the adhesive to the edges of the square.
    • Die cut Granny Apple Green "nested" leaves together at the same time.  Adhere with glue dots.
    • Fold 3-1/2" of ribbon in half, wrap black twine around it and finish in a bow.  Adhere with a glue dot.
