Dia daoibh!
You’d think waiting for floors to dry wouldn’t be a dangerous sport—but here we are. Thanks to the glorious Irish humidity (yes, even when it’s raining sideways), I was tiptoeing around like I was defusing a bomb… and honestly, I’m still at it. At this point, I’ve developed the stealth and balance of a cat burglar in Crocs. One wrong move and it’s Riverdance: The Return.
Anyway, let’s leave the slippy drama behind and get to the good stuff—my latest tropical-themed card:
This sunshiney number features die cuts from the Sizzix Framelits Detailed Tropics set. I cut the elements from glitter card and Core’dinations cardstock. The background is a cheerful yellow striped paper from the Let’s Flamingle set by Piatek Trzynastego—just bright, happy vibes that make you think of lemonade and sunhats.
To finish the background, I gave it a light sprinkle of Ranger Distress Spray Stain in Brushed Pewter. It’s not really visible in the photo—but in person, it shimmers just enough to make your craft room lighting feel fancier than it is. The sentiment says hello, but with its warm colours and tropical flair, this card could easily moonlight as a thank you, a birthday card, or just a cheerful pick-me-up for someone in need of a smile.
Challenges I'm playing:
- C.R.A.F.T. #759 Thank You or Anything Goes
- Sisterhood of Crafters - 7/9/25 - Stripes and/or Dots
- Try It On Tuesday - Summer Blooms
- The Four Seasons Challenge - July -Anything Summer Goes:
- Beautiful Blossoms #30 - Anything Flowers Goes (optional: mood board)
So while the floors are drying at the speed of a soggy turtle, at least this card turned out dry, dazzling, and drama-free.
This is so me when I wash the floors lol and son, daughter and pets are under treat of death if they so much as look as though they will risk walking on it lol. Love your beautiful colourful tropical card and flower/leaf clusters.

Haha.. Carol, sounds like we run the same floor dictatorship—one footstep and it's “off with their heads!” 😂 Glad you liked the card—tropical chaos meets craftroom tyranny! Wendy xx
