Dreaming of the tropics Greeting Card

Hello Crafters,

Let me introduce myself, I am Tamara Gadberry, artist, papercrafter, and StampinUp! Demonstrator. 

I started this blog to share my tutorials, and fun papercrafts I will be creating using StampinUp! products. 

They have a fabulous new annual catalog that was just released a couple months ago.....if you need a copy of your own just send me an email: papercrafts247@gmail.com   with your request and I will ship a catalog to you......or you can view the catalog right now at my website:

There is a clearance section for some great buys!

Today I have a greeting card I created using the stamp set "Chase your dreams" cutting dies, the "Petals and more" thinlet dies, the "Dragonfly dreams" stamp set and Tropical Escape dsp. 

If you are here because you viewed my Live video tutorial, thank you! Please sign up at FB  to receive notification when I post Live.....my Prize Patrol will begin in September!!!

Here are some photos:

I have the details if you would like to create this card yourself:

Whisper white cs  8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

Granny Apple cs cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Tropical escape dsp cut at 3 3/4" x 5"

Layer onto card front starting with granny apple then tropical escape.

Use big shot to cut out 2 feathers(1 with tropical escape dsp and 1 with garden green cs) and 2 medallions (from granny apple green cs) from the "Chase your dream"s cutting dies, and cut the label (with whisper white) and small flower piece (with garden green cs) from the "Petals and more" thinlets.

I stamped the dragonfly from the "Dragonfly dreams" stamp set onto a pretty pinkish print from the tropical escape dsp using garden green ink. Also stamp the sentiment onto the ww cs label using garden green.  I stamped the inside sentiment also using garden green.

I used liquid glue to dot the dragonfly wings then sprinkled them with dazzling diamonds glitter

I cut the medallions in half then attached one half to the top and one half to the bottom of the label. (See photograph)

Another half is attached to the inside along with the flower piece. 

When dry attach label piece to the card front top right with dimensionals.  Add the 2 feather pieces. 

The dragonfly is attached with dimensionals to the bottom left corner. 

I finished with a bit of glitter enamel dots. 

You can view a live video tutorial of this project on my facebook page. Just look for Papercrafts247.

Have a great day, Tamarad
