Hello bloggers! I had so much fun making this stepper card with the new Tropical Collection, I just had to share it. Although they are a bit difficult to photograph, they are just so much fun to make, I hope you will give it a go. I started with a piece of milk card and folded it so that there were three sections, each a slight bit higher than the previous one. I do apologise as I didn't write down the exact measurements I used, but I believe they were 5 1/2" wide by just over 11 1/2" long. I scored at 1 1/2", 3", 5", 7" and 9 1/2" and accordion folded it to create the base piece. Next I cut the palm trees from the
Island Paradise die set in both
kraft card and green card (from my stash). I cut just the top fronds off of the green card and glued it onto the kraft card palm trees. I added three of the palm trees to the back base area. I cut the hammock and attached it to two of the trees by just cutting into the loops and wrapping around the trunks then gluing them to the back. I cut the airplane and banner and stamped the banner with a small birthday stamp I found in my stash (I think it was from an old Justrite set, but I am not positive). I glued the plane and banner to the tops of the palm trees like it was just flying by. On the middle section I added the last palm tree and cut the adirondack chair, umbrella, cocktail drink (a pina colada in my mind) and beach ball from the
On The Beach die set. I cut the umbrella in both kraft card and red card. I used the
kraft card umbrella as a base and cut the top part of the red umbrella off and glued it to the kraft base so it looked like it had a wood handle. On the front section, I used the words from the
Message in a Bottle set cut in black and I made three Hibiscus with leaves of varying colours to add to the left of it. I made the smaller pair of
flip flops out of
raspberry and
straw card and added them to the right of the sentiments. I glued some course sand to all the open areas on the back two layers to help give it that tropical feel. I hope you like it! All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous card Sue, so lovely. A real fun card
Laine, sorry about the migraine, maybe feeling tense about Mums procedure started it off. Hope Mum is feeling much better now she's home.
CraftySuetoo, good that they finally did MRI, now we just need her better and out if Hospital fir you to feel better too.
Maureen, hope you are steadily making progress honey, you must be fed up of the hospital by now, just want you home with George. Shame about missing the big meet up, as with us you will be waiting for updates from the culprits, at least you can't get the blame this time.
Elaine, I didn't get your email, pam_hackett@tiscali.co.uk, try again please it would be lovely to hear from you. Hope Andrew and Helen are okay, know the funeral was some time this week.
Yvonne, they keep banging on at Work about staff engagement, we keep telling them we are engaged, its staff morale that is rock bottom, they don't even understand the difference. What hope do we have.
June hope the Craft group went well, one day I will walk in there and surprise you, me too, it's so far away.
Hugs to all, thinking of our missing and poorly friends, Wheeley, Maureen, Norah, Tina T and Tina and many more.
Morning Sue, I love this card it is so quirky and colourful.

Such a fun card! Love all the tropical elements to create this scene!
Morning Sue.
Wow what a lovely card.These die would make lovely wedding invites for overseas weddings.
Thank you Sue take care Kitty.
A fun card Sue, love the palm trees and flip flops.
Wow, what an amazing card Sue and something quite different for you. It is such fun and I especially love the plane and banner and the hammock as a quirky touch. Thank you.
Hello Sue, this card is absolutely brilliant, so much fun, love all the elements. I have to say that these die sets were one of my favourites from the latest release. Bx
Hi Sue. A real fun card, one to bring a smile on this grey drizzling morning, and so very clever too (on a par with your hand sanitizer and fish bowl)
Bits n bob's form the Tropical collection would make a lovely card for honeymooners I feel, something fun to send them in their way ☺ (or a fun card to send 'Our Sam' to get her even more excited about their tropical holiday which is looming) so all in all a happy fun card to start our day. Sending love n hugs your way xx
this is a beautiful stepper card Sue.
gr karin
Fabulous card Sue. I was asked to make something along these lines for a tropical wedding a couple of years ago. I did manage it but without these fabulous dies I found it very difficult. If I had to do it again it would be so much easier.
Thoughts and prayers to all who need them. Hope things work out ok at work Pam.
Crafty hugs to all.

Morning Sue, this card is so different from your usual ones, but brilliant! Love the Palm trees. Love Jean from Wiltshire xxx

Hi Sue and everyone
A colourful, fun card today. You have gone into so much written detail too so that people can replicate or inspire. I can tell that you enjoyed making it. The little elements are so cute and will be useful to use with your shadow box dies too.
Love Helen xxx
Quite different for you Sue. Love it, such a happy card.
Annette x
so cool. wish i was there! hugs xx
Hi Sue
lovely card that i'm sure most people with the dies and tools would be able to complete.
At first glance i wasn't sure that you had made it as so different. x
What fun! Love this card, it's so exotic, everyone would love to receive this xx

Hello Sue,
Oh what a marvelous, fun card. I know I want to be sitting in the Adirondack chair sipping on the pina colada with my feet in the sand, listening to the waves as they roll onto the beach.
Such detail in all of the elements.
Have a wonderful day.

Good morning Sue,
I can almost hear the sea lapping the shore line!!! A fabulous card! X
Hi Sue. Fantastic card today - love it :-) Hugs to all xxx
Oh this is such a fun card
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a really fun card today, love it, I don't have that die set (YET says I !!), I like the suggestions from others for a honeymoon card, or even a tropical wedding card, I will have to think about that one.
Pam, would love for you to pop in, would certainly get a shock. How are you feeling now, better I hope. I know exactly what you mean when you say they don't know the difference at work, how they can continue in business sometimes leaves me dumbfounded.
I reiterate everything that Pam has said above too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue
A gorgeous fun card.

This is a super cute, fun card. I love the little aeroplane and banner and how real do those flip flops look?! I think this would make a fabulous beach wedding card with the addition of a bride and groom. Thanks for sharing.

Well I thought I was on the wrong site when I saw this card today! Not a typical Sue Wilson card, but it certainly warms you up to look at it! Lol! A real fun card. Hope you're not working too hard .Sue!
Morning Sue. Such a fun happy card. We can all believe we're actually on the beach in the sunshine. Xx
Morning Sue, what a brilliant card, it is certainly somewhere I would like to be at the moment. You have so much detail in it, I keep seeing different elements. As other have said, great fir a tropical wedding.

Hi Sue
Well I looks like you had a lot of fun making this card, it's something completely different to your usual style but it's really lovely and great fun too. I like your choice of drink! I can just imagine you going out for a walk along the beach and licking your shoes extra hard to get lots of sand in them to use, or did you go out at dawn with a little plastic bag? If it was Florida did you find a sand dollar? Thank you for sharing such a beautiful card and making me smile this morning.
Love Diane G xxx
Pam echoing your good wishes today and hope you are starting to feel much better. Oh yes staff moral, companies just don't understand how important that is do they. Sending hugs xxx

A lovely fun card, I was asked a few weeks ago to make a card for a couple he had got engaged on a sandy beach and could I put a flip flop on it as the girl had lost one on the beach and it had become a joke between them, I did manage it but if I had your wonderful die set it would have been a lot easier lol!

Hello Sue
Thank you for such a cheerful card I love it just what I need. Pam you don't need this stress at work you aren't over your chest infection yet, you are very brave giving out your E-mail we will all be getting in touch. Elaine I hope Andrews treatment goes well I will be thinking of you all tomorrow. I have a long day tomorrow with my brother in Salford.
Good morning Sue this is a stunning card I love it. Those dies are such fun. I like so many of your dies I don't know where to start on my very long wish list. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie

Hi Sue, this is a brilliant card and I can see you had great fun making it. It's style is so unusual for you but suits all the elements perfectly. I too can see all the pieces in a shadow box or even as a picture in a box frame filled with sand.
Laine - hope the migraine has cleared by now and that your mun is recovered from her procedure.
Thinking of all poorly Wilsonettes especially Maureen and all of our missing friends.
Frances
I had to look twice at this one Sue as so different for you, looks fab, xxx

Dear Sue and Crafty Friends,
The word of the day is fun!
(Not feeling it, though, because I've been working too hard. And none of the new dies are offered yet by the North American distributor.)
Bedtime for me.

What a wonderful, summery card. It would really cheer up the person who received it.
By the way, Sue, where did the coarse sand come from.... Florida or your recent visit to Australia? You have to have some authenticity to the design, don't you? He he

Hello Sue,
It sure has been a strange day here! First of all our elder son arrived for coffee en route to somewhere near us ! That never happens in a working week as a rule! Then you show a stepper card!! Lol! A girl can have too many shocks in one day!
The card is such fun , is gorgeous and made me smile! It just looks as if the person has nipped into the sea for a swim and will be back to finish that drink!
Thank you so much! It's such a fun card and the elements would be good for scrapbooking too!
Had text from Maureen and she is going home tomorrow - all being well - albeit with strict instructions!! It will be lovely to get home and be with the family! I've told her again about all your good wishes! She appreciates them very much. Thanks so much.
Elaine - hope and pray Andrew's treatment will not stop him from getting to the funeral and supporting Helen. Thinking of you all!
Laine - sorry about the headache - sometimes it's the relief when something stressful is over! Glad Mum ok . Look after one another! X
Lots of love to everyone going through troubled times ,

What a wonderful card, Sue. The flip flops have so much dimension to them; they look real. Makes me want to do more step cards -- you can fit so much more onto them that regular cards.

It brought a smile to my face as soon i as saw it as it reminds me of a wonderful holiday we had in Cuba all those gorgeous colours and relaxing days. No wonder you had great fun making this one. Hope you did a Happy Dance when you had finished this card as i am sure it turned out better that you thought it would. I can see so many project which will be perfect for these dies.

A very unusual but thoroughly cheery card.

This is a great 'cheer you up' card, Sue, think anyone would be delighted to receive it!
PC went into total meltdown yesterday morning, so had to get a new one. (PC doctor said no repair possible.) Last fab keyboard could not be recognised, so another 40 mile round trip to get just a basic one until we can find a better one online. Happy days. On catch up now.
Pam - did you see the Hartlepool TV programme (see last comment)? Echoing you again.
Fluffycat - still early days yet, then. Thank heavens for summer coming and some good outdoor weather, hopefully.
Hugs to all,especially Maureen today.

Just popped back to let you know Andrew did not have a lot of luck today after 4 hrs at the Hospital having tests he was told to go home, his immune system was far to low.
Just last week his immune was high but could not have treatment because of the Easter holiday .
The good thing is he will feel well enough to support Helen at the funeral tomorrow.
it will be a late post from me tomorrow .
Take care everyone.

Hello Sue,
This is one amazing card! I bet you had such fun creating it. Not sure I could be bothered gluing sand on though! Love the hammock, just wish I was lying in it.
Elaine I think you need an extra big hug today so there is one winging it's way to you. Hope all goes well tomorrow, thinking of you all.
CraftySue, that's just ridiculous, hope you have your mum's results by now.
Laine hope you are feeling better today, if you try the banana treatment I'd love to see a photo!
"P" thank goodness you were able to get a new pc sorted quickly, we don't realise just how much we depend on technology nowadays.
Myra it might have been a surprise visit but it was a lovely one!
Pam keep your chin up, one day the management might just wake up.
So glad Maureen is coming home tomorrow, she's had her nails painted red and Myra has christened her " the scarlet woman". We've also started calling her Peggy but that's another story!
Love and hugs for all

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What an inventive card and so totally unlike your usual samples, such a refreshing change. I adore the step formation, its the perfect platform for your fun, cheery Tropical Accessory dies. The plane flying overhead is fab, the hammock is cool and inviting and the cocktail is very tempting:-) They set the scene for an idyllic getaway in the tropics, a touch of escapism that definitely puts a smile on my face:-)....is that real sand on the card though Sue, just wondered because its so effective?
Well, my friends, thankyou for all your kind well wishes not just for me but for my Mum too, they're really appreciated...its a waiting game at the moment though, my Mum has a lump on her breast and is due her mammogram next Tuesday, we remain positive until told otherwise though, hopefully we will find out that afternoon because she sees the consultant also.
Had a friend over for a coffee this afternoon which is great when you have other stuff on your mind, it provides a welcome distraction......slight drawback though is that she hates cats and boy does Brodie torture her:-) He slinks around her legs, climbs onto the sofa next to her and tries to climb inside her handbag, all intended to irritate and make her as uncomfortable as possible, it's so funny to watch:-)
Pam, hope you haven't taken on too much too soon due to pressure from your work, hope you are feeling stronger and ready to face that daily grind. Sending hugsxxx
Elaine, I don't know whether to be sad that Andrew has missed another treatment, or glad because he will therefore be fitter to help Helen tomorrow at the funeral.....either way i hope that you all find the reserves to see you through what will be an emotionally difficult time. I am thinking of you all as always, with hugs winging there way to you tooxxx
Carmen, I won't spoil the surprise and reveal if my prediction before the finale was correct....even I'm not THAT cruel:-)....all that I will say is that it was a fitting, but sad end to what has been a fabulous series, hope you enjoy it!
Myra, excellent news about Maureen, George must be so relieved to have her home again:-) We can only hope that she has learned her lesson, the hard way, that gin at breakfast is not a nutritious start to the day!:-) Are you getting steadily excited about the meeting of the Naughty Nine? Not long to go now my dear:-)
Frances, glad that your hubby has made improvements since his illness, maybe a spot of light gardening during the better weather will help him improve further?
P, thinking of you and little Saffron every day, hope she is comfortable and happy, she's most definitely loved, that's for sure!:-)
Lynda, thanks for thinking about my Mum, I hope that you are well too and enjoying a bit of the Easter sunshine....lighter, brighter days always make you feel better:-) Hugs right back honeyxxx

Hi Sue well this is certainly a different style for you but looks like lots of fun and makes me want to book a sunny holiday!
Elaine sorry Andrew didn't get his treatment but at least he will be able to support Helen tomorrow I'm holding you all in my prayers
Pam do hope you are feeling better try not to overdo things at work
Laine sorry to hear that both you and your mother have been unwell and hoping all goes well for your mum next Tuesday

Hi Sue,
What a fun card, I am sure you enjoyed making this one.
I think It is totally out of your comfort zone OR should I say miles away from the cards you normally bring to us.,
But great, I LOVE IT.
Thank you for your wonderful inspiration, love and hugs, Brenda xxx
Hi Sue,
Vacation, vacation, vacation & lot of fun! This card ticks all the boxes for me! Wish to be on that beach, relaxing and enjoying my drink(s) or at least to get a card like this for my b-day! (With a plane ticket inside :) ,of course!)
Elaine - Special thoughts, prayers and hugs for Helen & Andrew and you.
Lynda – I sent an email asking when they will offer Sue’s new dies & stamps. Hopefully soon.
Laine – You have a lot on your plate right now. Sorry. I really hope everything to go well for your mum next Tuesday.
Saba – I know that there are things you can't control. The more I think about getting that order the more excited I am. I wish to find it tomorrow in my mail box!
Pam – we had a training last year (a total of 10 sessions, an hour each) about Communication, Listening, Dealing w Difficult People, etc.etc. All managers had to get this training as well. I found “funny” that nothing was related to them, only to the rest of us. The lady, who conducted this training, by coincidence, is Romanian. At the end of the last session I asked, out of curiosity, if she really believes all this b____ t she presented. She told me that one of our Directors decided what each section should be about and she wasn’t allowed to mention anything about bad managers & management, favoritism, etc. Conclusion: The Managers are perfect, we are the problem. And replaceable, as our GM mentioned in his first speech when he got the job!
