Stampin’ Up! Tropical Leaf Hello Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Tropical Leaf bundle is a stamp and punch bundle that is part of the Online Exclusives. I used used it to make a tag hello card with some retiring products for a simple card for today. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I embossed a panel of the retiring Fancy Flora 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Soft Succulent card base. I love how the embossing brings the painted textures in the DSP to life with additional dimension! And it’s nice to get another card with the pretty retiring Soft Succulent In Color.

I stamped the stems from the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Leaf photopolymer stamp set in Garden Green ink on a Soft Succulent panel. I stamped three small leaves in Garden Green ink at the top of the stems and stamped the veins over the leaves in Evening Evergreen ink. I cut the panel with the large angle tag die from the Tailor made tags. I split some Evening Evergreen ribbon and looped it through the tag hole. I looped a short length of Garden green ink through the hole and tied the ribbons with Linen Thread, making a bow. I adhered the tag to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped three large leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Leaf stamp set in Garden Green ink on Basic White. I stamped the veins over the leaves in Evening Evergreen and punched them out with the Tropical Leaf punch. I adhered them to the card with dimensionals, double layering the dimensionals at the leaf tips where they adhered directly to the card (instead of the tag). I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green on a Balmy Blue panel and cut it out with the small oval die from the All That dies. I adhered the label to the tag with glue dots and finished it with a blue pastel iridescent gemstone.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large leaf from the Stampin’ Up! Tropical Leaf stamp set in Garden Green and the veins in Evening Evergreen. I covered the leaf with a mask and stamped the small leaf and stem in Garden Green. I stamped the small leaf veins in Evening Evergreen before removing the mask. I adhered a strip of embossed DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Tropical Leaf bundle is a simple set that really makes nice tropical cards! I’m really surprised that the simplicity of the three stems and leaves make such pretty cards. And the sentiments are great – the casual font has so much energy and stamp so well. So we’ll say bye bye to retiring colors and enjoy the Online Exclusives until the new catalog debuts next week!
