Tropical Getaway Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn

With the days getting shorter and the temperatures getting cooler, now is the perfect time to start dreaming about a tropical getaway.  Susan Tierney-Cockburn has made it easy for us with her beautiful new Tropical Getaway Collection from Spellbinders!  The gorgeous exotic flowers in this collection inspired me to create two bright floral cards featuring realistic blooms for different occasions.

PLUMERIA ANNIVERSARY CARD

I loved the sprig of petite and pretty blooms in the Plumeria Die Set, so I decided to try these first.  Although you can color these flowers in several bright colors, I opted for the white variety and added a pretty sunset background on this simple foiled anniversary card.

HIBISCUS FRIENDSHIP CARD

I have tried to grow coral-colored hibiscus flowers many times, but sadly they don’t last long in my house.  Fortunately, I’m a better flower-shaper than I am a grower, so I created the blooms of my dreams with the Hibiscus Die Set and added a few pretty tropical bunches to this cheerful friendship card.

  • Trim a piece of kraft woodgrain cardstock to 4.75” x 6.75”. Mat it with Mirror Gold Cardstock and adhere it to a top-folding A7-sized white card base with tape runner.
  • Add the oval layered die-cut to the center of the card with foam adhesive and pop the foiled sentiment up in the center.
  • Arrange the flowers and leaves around the sentiment and adhere down with liquid glue or hot glue.
  • Add Gold Mix Gems to embellish.

I hope you enjoyed this duo of bright tropical cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Susan’s Tropical Getaway Collection from Spellbinders now and send your own beautiful three-dimensional paper bouquets.  And don’t miss the Pre-Holiday Clearance Sale with up to prices as low as $1 from now until Wednesday, November 17th!
