Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Old Olive card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Basic Black CS layer cut to 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″
- Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5″ x 3-3/4″ (pink leaves and flamingos)
- Basic Black CS layer cut to 4-1/8″ x 2-7/8″
- Memories & More Card (MM) layer cut to 4″ x 2-3/4″ (green with pink flamingos)
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Timeless Tropical stamp set:
- sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto the Whisper White CS for the inside of the card base
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- DSP layer glued onto the larger Basic Black CS layer
- MM layer glued onto the smaller Basic Black CS layer
- smaller Basic Black CS layer glued onto the DSP layer, lining it up on the right side
- 2 pieces of braided linen trim adhered onto the left side of the layers using Tear & Tape, wrapping the ends around to the back
- larger Basic Black CS layer adhered onto the front of the card base using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- “enjoy” sticker from the MM card pack applied onto the card front
- leaf trinket adhered onto the linen trim using a Mini Glue Dot
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
Unexpected colors and you nailed it! Great card in every aspect!
Thanks, Jackie!
I agree with Jackie – NAILED IT! I am LOVING that “enjoy” sticker! I need to open my M&M pack – wow! Thank you for sharing, Candy!
Thanks, Julie!
I also agree with Jackie and Julie. So cute. The MM card, the sticker, the ribbon, the trinket. All perfect.
Thanks, Lynn!
These festive flamingos are perfect for this birthday card, Candy! I love your mix of patterns on this card. So glad you hopped with us today! ♥
Thanks, B!
Such a colorful and cheery card Candy. I like how you used the black layers to accent the designer paper. Thanks for the happy card.
Thanks, Linda!
Yes! Love the tropical feel of this card. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Shawn!
What a great way to use those flamingo papers! Love your layout!
Thanks, Robin!
So pretty! Looking at it makes me feel as though I’m in a warm tropical place. Sure needed that today. It’s freezing cold here today.
Aw, thanks so much, Sheryl!
