Watch this tutorial https://youtu.be/6B5t9exttw0 to see how to shape the plumerias.
Instructions: Cut a smooth white card stock measuring 15'' x 71/2''. To the longer side, score at 4 1/2" and 9" and crease in Z fold. Cut designer paper 1/8th of an inch smaller than all the panels. Choose a 6" by 6" square card panel from the designer paper and cut the window using Cut, Mat and Create Die. Adhere Acetate sheet using red tacky tape, from the back and create a clear window. For the clear window now choose a pattern paper with Flamingoes from the same collection to use as a base. Layer the base on a golden mirror sheet, little bigger than the base. Adhere window giving dimensions with foam tape. Stamp the focal image with black archival ink and paint it using Zig Clean Clear Brush Markers. Shades used are 220, 026, and 022. Cut the images using their coordinating dies. Cut 6 swirly leaves are stamped with Library Green archival and painted using Leaf green. Dab it on Versa mark and sprinkle clear UTEE and heat set. The filler flowers are from Wildwood Florals Die. I avoided coloring them and kept them plain white. I have used a wired pollen to add a little stem to the filler flower. For main flowers, stamp multiple images with Magenta Hue Archival and paint them using Tea Rose and Magenta Hue. Shape the with deluxe shaping kit. Add wired pollen in the center and glue them with the adhesive that dries clear. Make only 3 petal flowers for this card. Cut two tags, one ticket, and one oval tag. Mat them on white cardstock and cut leaving a white border. Assemble all the elements on the window giving them dimensions using foam dots. Finally, stick the window on the prepared card base with the help of foam tape and adhere the tags from the back of the front panel. Add a 3 layered white die cut embellishment with the word die " Aloha " to add an extra accent to the card.

Watch this tutorial https://youtu.be/6B5t9exttw0 to see how to shape the plumerias.
Instructions: My card size is 5 x 7". Make card base and emboss the front using the embossing folder. Set it aside. Next I cut out layers using the rectangles dies and different cardstocks. I also used a piece of the paper collection as there are several layers of this die. Glue the layers together and then use dimensional tape and glue to adhere to the card front. I picked out an image from one of the card fronts of the paper collection and I cut it out using the circle die. Next I again used the circle dies and cut out a frame using the teal cardstock. This is achieved by using the two largest dies. Glue the circle frame to the image and use dimensional tape and glue to adhere to the rectangles on the card front. Now stamp, cut out, color the flowers and leaves. Dampen the backs of the flowers and shape, then add some glitter to the petals and set aside to dry. Next glue the flowers and leaves down around the circle medallion. When the glue is dry, your card is finished!

Instructions: This card when completed fits into an envelope measuring 9 1/2 x 7 1/2" (24.1 cm x 19 cm ). To make the card base take the A4 card stock and make 2 folds 2 1/4" each to form the foot of the card. Fold this to form a hill and valley fold. Cut the card front base at 5 9/16" x 6 12/16" ( 14.2 cm x 17.1 cm ) The card slider at 2 10/16" x 4 1/2" ( 6.7 cm x 11.5 cm ) For the slider guide cut at 1 x 3 and 12/16" ( 9.5 cm x 3 cm ). This is not matted but does have a half circle punched into the length to make it easier for the slider to go in. For this card make an extra card front from cardboard measuring 6 x 6" ( 15.2 cm x 15.2 cm ) The matting for this will be the same measurements. You will find this paper with the rainbow print in the Tropical Parasise paper. Ink the edges with the green distress ink. For all other parts of the card the matting will be cut 1/16" smaller at all edges. (1mm ). Ink all the matting papers then adhere to the card base and fronts. Adhere the slider to the center top of the card using double sided tape and clear drying glue. Adhere the card front to the card base then adhere the slider guide so the slider can slide in between the guide and card front. Once all is dry and secure adhere the extra card front with 3d foam dots to the card front.
Make the sentiment by die cutting the words Thinking of You six times. Adhere all the layers together then color with the intense pencil to match the colors from the paper. Make the five ( 5 ) large flowers and enough leaves as fillers to arrange at the foot of the card. The flamingos are colored then adhered to the layers of five ( 5 ) extra card stock cuts. Tuck and adhere under the leaves as seen in the photo of the card. Adhere the bling to the flower centers and each side of the sentiment. Add stardust stickles to the flowers and a few leaves, last apply the crystal Lacquer to the flamingo pair.

Instructions: Fold, ink and assemble your shadowbox. I kept the inner flaps to the left hand side of the shadow box where I had planned on adding the most foliage layers. Before completely sealing the shadowbox I added the 6 x 6" background piece of the teal wood grain patterned paper. I then measured and cut pieces of blue patterned paper for the top and sides of the shadowbox. Then I cut smaller strips to cover the front frame of the shadowbox. They are cut to 6.125" in length, and the corners are mitered like a frame.
Cut 2 strips of red patterned paper that are 1 x 6". Adhere one to the inside bottom of the shadowbox and the other just right of center in the shadowbox. I cut my photo down to 3.5 x 3.5" and matted it in white cardstock and blue patterned paper. I added kraft photo corners to the photo. Adhere to the middle of of the shadowbox using 3D foam squares.
Stamp and die cut 1 each of the small flowers and the medium flowers. I added colour to these using inks and daubers. Shape and assemble the flowers then add Prills to the middle of each using liquid adhesive. Stamp and die cut 2 large and 1 small palm leaf. I added colour to these using Chameleon pens. Stamp and die cut 1 each of the toucan, leaves & swirls and the leaf pair. I added colour to all of these using Chameleon pens. Stamp and die cut 2 of the curved fern leaves, add colour using a single Chameleon pen. Shape all of your leaves as well as the leaves in the toucan image.
Using the Spectrum Noir Crystal Clear pen, I added sparkle to the toucan and the flowers. Using the shadowbox flaps up the side of the shadowbox, I added the foliage using hot glue. Then did the same with the greens along the front on the bottom. Add the toucan to the bottom right hand corner of the frame using 3D foam squares. Then add some extra greens in behind. I added the flowers and the leaf pair to the bottom left hand corner of the frame.
