Sneak Peek: Tropical Toucans

Hello Pretty Pink Posh friends! Suzy here and today I get to show you one of the brand new stamp and die sets called Tropical Toucans. This is one of the smaller sets which means it costs less and you get a lot of bang for the buck! I have two cards to share with you where I’ll also be using the new Tropical Frame die, some of the stand alone word dies, and the new jewel mixes.

I call this technique random stamping and I love to do it with all the PPP stamps since they have small images. I stamp them all with my Misti stamping tool using a light color of ink for no-line coloring. I then color them all in with colored pencils. If you like making puzzles, you will love doing this with your stamps!

I stamped the sentiment in the set with white embossing powder on a rectangle from the Storybook 6 die. I die-cut the new Sunshine Script Die die-cut from turquoise glitter paper and attached it under the sentiment just because it looked so pretty!

When coloring the toucans, I used black for their bodies, but then used all different bright colors for the rest of them – not technically how they look, but more fun to look at! I added some of the new Luau Jewel Mix around the sentiment.

This card uses the new Tropical Frame die which I die-cut from pink glitter paper and attached to a white card base. I die-cut the Happy Summer Script word dies from turquoise glitter paper and attached them to a second set from white cardstock so they had more dimension.

I stamped all of the images from the Tropical Toucans stamp set with black ink and colored them in with colored pencils. Again, I used lots of bright colors along with black so the colors really pop. I cut two of the flower branches apart and used those pieces tucked under the frame. I also used a bunch of the small flowers around the frame.

Last I used the new Citrus Mix and Luau Mix jewels around the frame and inside the middle of the flowers. The bright color of these jewels go so perfectly with all my brightly colored stamped images!

Thanks for visiting today and make sure to come back for all of the sneaks this week. This is my favorite release from PPP ever and it all works so perfectly together. It will make you want to book a tropical summer vacation!

Xoxo, Suzy
