Make It Monday: Pineapple Friendship Card

As a symbol of friendship and hospitality, the pineapple is such an interesting fruit with its unique colors and textures. Even though they are a bit messy to cut, I just love pineapples! For this week's Make It Monday, I thought I would share one of the cards in the Tropical Oasis Mini Retreat To Go. The Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper is retiring soon so be sure to stock up before it's gone.

The Tropical Oasis suite makes this a fun and easy card to make. 

To create a layered look with color variation, I adhered the die-cut pineapple to a piece of So Saffron cardstock and trimmed around it.

"Make It" Instructions
