Tropical Oasis & Paper Players Challenge #492

I can't get enough of these Tropical Oasis Memories & More cards! They make cardmaking quick and easy! Not to mention, it's a little tropical vacation right in my craft room!

Tropical Oasis Memories & More

My favorite part of this one is the layer of DSP behind the diecut sentiment. I wanted the sentiment a little bit bolder, so I used the "negative" piece and added a little pop! It's the little details that finish it off!

Tropical Oasis for Freshly Made Sketch #436

I hope you're all enjoying your Memorial Day weekend! It seems strange to be spending it at home instead of at the neighborhood pool or a BBQ with friends! Although, I really don't mind staying home crafting all weekend! No complaints here! Especially when I'm using the Tropical Oasis suite! It feels like I'm on a tropical vacation!

I love using a card sketch for inspiration, and today's project is from the Freshly Made Sketch challenge this week. Here is the sketch. Just click on it to come play along!
I used a Terracotta Tile card base and layered on some Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper as well as the Tropical Oasis Memories & More card pack (which includes some fun stickers!) The stamp set and dies are carrying over to the new annual catalog that comes out next week, but that beautiful DSP & the Memories & More cards are NOT!

May 2020 Paper Pumpkin: A Kit In Color

Happy Friday!
We made it through another week! What was the highlight of the week for you? It's hard for me to pick just one, but I have to say getting this month's Paper Pumpkin kit was in the top 5 for sure! 
(Our spontaneous backyard water fight was a hard one to beat!)

I absolutely LOVE the beautiful bright colors and the happy rainbow images! 
Here is what was included in this month's kit:

 A Kit In Color | Red Hot Stampers

And here is an image of the completed cards from the kit! They're so happy and bright! 
Don't you love the NEW In Colors that will be making a debut on June 3rd? I DO!

A Kit In Color | Red Hot Stampers

I quickly put together one of each card but I didn't stop there! I wanted to use that adorable rainbow stamp set, so I pulled out some notecards and DSP and went to work! 
(Although, work doesn't sound very fun... went to play? OK!)

They were so quick and easy that I even had time to do a Facebook Live! (I know...it's been awhile!) You can watch the replay here or a slightly cleaned up version on YouTube (posted below).
(HINT: there's an amazing GIVEAWAY!)

Speaking of giveaways, here's a little something for everyone! This month's printable case insert!
