Creation Station February Full Monty Blog Hop

Hello and welcome,



Today we are sharing Stampin’ Up! products with a fun hop called the “The Full Monty” in other words the whole kit and caboodle, using the entire suite or most of the products as possible.



I’ve chosen the Tropical Oasis Suite which is in the Mini Stampin’ Up! Catalogue. I just love the retro suite with the bright colours and tropical images that will give your projects that tropical feel. It just makes me want to go on a holiday! 

Tropical Oasis Suite: I've used the following products - Tropical Oasis DSP, Timeless Tropical Stamp Set, In the Tropics Dies, Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder, Tropical Oasis Trinkets, Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack and 5/16” (8mm) Braided Burlap Trim.

I’ve created two cards and decorated a Kraft Pillow Box. I’ve stamped the Hibiscus in Melon Mambo and with the Stampin’ Blends I’ve used Daffodil Delight and Lovely Lipstick to colour in the flower images. 

The Frangipani stamped image are in Melon Mambo, Pineapple Punch and Mango Melody, plus adding a little colour to the flower with the Stampin’ Blends. The leaves are stamped in Pretty Peacock and Shaded Spruce.

The Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper is just gorgeous and I especially love the side of the lush foilage using different shades of greens for the Monstera leaves. 

I've used the DSP on one of my cards and the Pillow Box, it was a must to showcase this beautiful paper. Pretty Peacock was the perfect colour choice for the card base and colour throughout my projects.

The Braided Burlap Trim is a natural colour and so versatile. I’ve lightly frayed the ends to give it a distressed look. 

The Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder has a weave pattern, once I embossed a piece of Old Olive Cardstock,  I added Versamark Ink by running the Ink Pad onto the Cardstock and I also added Shaded Spruce Ink with the Sponge Dauber. 

The Tropical Oasis Memories & More Card Pack can make you a quick card in minutes, as I had a few of the stamped images already created and die images cut out to help you to create this Birthday card. 

I’ve used one of the double-sided cards for the background, lightly sponged Melon Mambo Ink onto the card before adding the flowers, Burlap Trim and sentiment. The final touch I’ve added tiny Gold Foil flowers and the antique bronze leaf.



All of the Stampin’ Up! products that I’ve used in these projects will be listed at the end of the blog post and are available at my online store.
