Tropical Party card...

I love the bright colors in the Island Oasis designer series paper pack.

And the Tropical Party stamp set, also in the Summer Mini, goes hand-in-hand with the paper.

I borrowed this idea from Connie Babbert. Look under May 4 on her blog. It's an Old Olive card with a 4" x 3-3/4" piece of this fun umbrella paper.

I used one of the stamps from the Everything Nice set, inking it up with Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise and Rose Red markers.

The coconut and one flower were cut out and popped up with dimensionals, as well as the top two layers of the card. Fun stuff!!!

Fox & Friends sugary birthday card

I made this sparkly card for a friend. The requirements: Animals and lots of bling, including glitter.

So this is the card I created. It's Pretty in Pink, with a scalloped edge that has rhinestones from the Eggcellent Eggs Kit in the Occasions Mini.

There's some Sending Love specialty paper on the left, with a knot of Pretty in Pink satin ribbon, distressed layers with the sentiment from Everything Nice that has Dazzling Diamonds glitter on "Sugar" and a Chocolate Chip epoxy brad.
I added paper piercing for more texture, as well as more glitter on the monkeys' bellies.
