Coastal Weave Embossing Folder | Dot Dot Stamping Designs

Tropical Oasis Stampin' Up! Vintage Car Christina Barnes Dot Dot Stamping 2
Finally, I am organised enough to have joined in with the Design Team for Cardz4Guyz this fortnight.
Crafting has been a bit hit and miss, and blogging even more so, over the past few months. But it’s good to be back.
Our challenge this fortnight is to use Brads or Eyelets on your projects.
My cards actually use stick on brads, but close enough. Personally I am going away from the ones that go through the layers, they can be very bulky, so I have gone with this stick-on type.

My cards feature the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper, and that gorgeous car has been fussy cut from the DSP. The cards also feature the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

The frame on the first card, and the centre panel of the second, were one piece of cardstock which I die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies.

Make sure you check out what the rest of the Design Team have been up to here, and share your own projects, we love to see what you have been creating.

Happy Stamping!
Chris

Tropical Oasis Frangipanis Card By Christina Barnes Stampin' Up! 2020 Dot Dot Stamping

I think I could really do with spending some time in a Tropical Oasis after all that we have been through with the bushfires over the last few weeks, and undoubtedly difficult times still to come.
Instead, I have actually made a card!!
Woo hoo…….
Tropical Oasis Card by Christina Barnes Timeless Tropical Coastal Weave Embossing Folder Dot Dot Stamping
My card features products from the Tropical Oasis Suite by Stampin’ Up! from the new mini catalogue, and available until 2nd June 2020.
The background features a new Embossing Folder called Coastal Weave – I love this one, and a strip of the lovely bright Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper.
The beautiful frangipanis (my favourite flower of all) are from the Timeless Tropical stamp set and dies, have been stamped and then lighted coloured using a blender pen.
