What do you think of when you see a pineapple? I think of Hawaii, my favorite vacation destination, a plane ride away.

Hawaiian Pineapple

Today’s card gives you a sneak peek of two new products from the 2021 July-August Mini Catalog, available August 3. The Cork Specialty Paper (#156393) is fabulous, which I cut with an Ornate Layers Die, and placed beneath the pineapple. The second new product is a Timber Embossing Folder (#156406), which I used on a layer of Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.

The card base is Soft Succulent Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Also featured on this card is  Pansy Petals Designer Paper, which is on sale this month, so you need to get it now, before it goes back to regular price in August. The gingham beneath the Cork is Pansy Petals Designer Paper, cut with the same Ornate Layers Die.

I also used Pansy Petals with an In The Tropics Die to create the pineapple, as well as the leaves and flowers. The flowers were cut with a die from In The Tropics. There’s a tiny hole at the center of the flowers, perfect for tiny pearls. The leaves were cut with Pansy Dies right from the paper. How fun is that!

The top of the pineapple was cut from an Ombre Gift Bag in Evening Evergreen, sliced open to make a flat piece for cutting. Check out the bags below, because they are my host code gift for the month of July.

Last, but not least, the sentiment. “Aloha” was cut with an In The Tropics Die from Evening Evergreen Cardstock, and glued to a tag that was cut with an Ornate Frames Die.

The tag was “tied” on with Bumblebee Gingham Trim.

The current products are in my Product List below. And, you can see close-up pictures of the sale designer paper by clicking on the pictures. This will also take you to my store for easy shopping.

I was inspired by TGIF.
