This is the first in a series of posts all about the Eastern Palace suite. The Eastern Beauty stamps & Eastern Medallion die bundle in the suite are very cleverly designed to work brilliantly both together and separately, and also combine with other punches & dies for endless possibilities. I featured Eastern Palace & the new 2017-19 In-Colours in my May sneak peek class. This was the first card we made. Fresh fig (one of our new In-colours), gold foil & vanilla make a very elegant combination don't you think? I've used a birthday sentiment from Happy Birthday, Gorgeous on this one, but this design would work well for many occasions. One of my class lovelies made it into a wedding card. The shaped window is cut with the large circle medallion & a medium circle medallion dies plus a scallop circle die from the Layering Circles set. The circles mix and match & can be cut together for a super quick intricate look. I popped the vanilla layer up on a gold foil card layer for lots more shine... not really apparent in the pic. The gold floral medallion in the centre is made with one of the Eastern Gold vinyl stickers from the suite. The stickers are clear with a gold foil look, and some coordinate & can be cut with the dies. For this one I stuck the sticker on gold cardstock, then cut it out with the 2 coordinating dies. I kept the inside simple, just adding more sentiments & a gold border sticker. So that's card of my Eastern Palace review. I hope you liked it. Lots more to come tomorrow so pop in again tomorrow.

Beautiful Stained Glass Effect Note Cards created by UK Independent Stampin' Up Demonstrator Sarah Phelan using the Eastern Palace Bundle from Stampin' Up

I have lots of Eastern Palace card ideas to share with you! There are two different bundles available in May, so I thought I would start by ...

The customer preorder period starts TODAY! There are two exclusive early release bundles that won't be available in these bundle configurations after the catalog goes live on June 1st. You will still be able to order the Eastern Beauty stamp set and Eastern Medallion dies separately or as a bundle, but all the other items will become a la carte. (And no free Thick Very Vanilla Cardstock or free Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes!) If you click on the bundle pictures below, you will see what is included in each bundle. Today's card features products from the Premier bundle, as well as a retiring embossing folder. I sometimes like to use lots of layers on my cards and this one has SEVEN, counting the card base! The Gold Foil Sheet medallions look so rich on the Very Vanilla cardstock, don't you think? I though the background needed some texture, so I used the Boho Chic embossing folder, which is marked own 30% right now, because it is retiring. When I ordered the Premier bundle, I wasn't sure how I would use the tassels. Since then I've seen some lovely cards on Pinterest that use them, so I just went for it! I think the pop of Fresh Fig in the greeting and the tassels add some extra interest.

We are to expect some isolated thunder storms late again this afternoon and then a cool down for Friday and the weekend. We have some strong winds again today and more tree limbs down in the yard where I already cleaned up!!! The yard work is never ending when you live in the middle of the woods!!! Stampin' Up restocked the Clearance Rack this week. There's some awesome, awesome deals. And, don't forget about the Retiring List of Products. My share for today is the third Card from the Eastern Palace Card Class that Stampin' Up designed for Demonstrators to teach as a class for their Customers. The Stampin' Up products used are the new Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper, Eastern Beauty Stamp Set and Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies. Kudo's to the Stampin' Up Designer for this class too! Another Great job of designing some fabulous new Cards with some fabulous new products!!! Let's take a look at the third Card: My Card Base is Stampn' Up's new Fresh Fig Cardstock cut at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored and folded at 4-1/4" for a side open Card. My Card Front Panel is the Tranquil Tide with Dapper Denim Dots cut at 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" and adhered to my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue. I trimmed out a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock to measure 3-1/2" x 3-1/2". Using SU's new Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies, I die cut the Large and Medium Dies in the Center. Using SU's new Eastern Beauty Stamp Set, I stamped the Petal Flourishes in Lemon Lime Ink as shown in the picture above. I stamped the Border Flourishes (Brackets and Diamond shapes) in Fresh Fig Ink around the outside edge of the Large Circle Medallion as shown in the picture above. I stamped my Sentiment in Dapper Denim Ink in the Center of the Medallions. I adhered the Very Vanilla Panel to my Card Base with Stampin' Dimensionals. I adhered the long Eastern Gold Border Vinyl Stickers above and below the Very Vanilla Panel. I cut a 9" piece of SU's 1/8" Gold Ribbon, folded it in half and adhered it to the upper left corner of my Card with a Glue Dot. I tied on one of SU's new Fresh Fig Mini Tassels around the Gold Ribbon with a piece of SU's Gold Thread. Just elegant! Thanks again Stampin' Up!!! O.K.

Welcome to another hop with the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team! I'm so glad you stopped by today! We are a group of about 20 demonstrators from around the world that represent SU! and we hope that you are inspired by what we have to share with you today! Here is a sneak peek of the Eastern Palace Suite! Customers can begin to order May 1st. Exclusive for a limited time are the Starter and Premier Bundles, designed for both the beginning and avid crafters. Demonstrators can now preorder the Eastern Palace Suite Starter and Premier Bundles. Get your hands on these colorful and exotic products to prepare for customer launch May 1. Sounds exciting right? Here are the two cards I made for today's hop. I was really tempted to share the other two cards that I made with one of the new in-colors - FRESH FIG - but decided on these two instead. Plus, I may just share them later in the week - so make sure you check back. For today, I really wanted to show you the intricate framelits and the vinyl stickers. I chose to pair both Copper and Gold with Dapper Denim. For this card, I used 3 of the Eastern Medallions Framelits Dies to create this beautiful medallion. You have a few options with the framelits and you can change them up to make different medallions each time. Very cool! I also stamped some dots around the medallion with Dapper Denim ink. Behind the medallion is a piece of Copper Foil Sheets. I love, love, love the way it shines through! The sentiment was straightened out and stamped in the corner. A simple 2-toned card - easy peasy! For the second card that I made, I wanted to highlight these gorgeous Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers. This card literally took me 5 minutes tops. (I know this because my 6yo son asked me if I could just use the one card I had already finished and not make another... he was anxiously waiting to play hockey with me.) These stickers made this card so simple and easy! I added some coordinating Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper along the edge to tie in some more gold. I finished the card off with some Dapper Denim 3/8" Ruched Ribbon. (My fave!) The sentiment I bent a little to curve around the corner. I love the photopolymer sets give you a little play to change things up a bit. The sentiment comes curved, but as I posted on the first card, you can even straighten it out. I cannot wait to see the other creations that my teammates have made! Make sure to check out all of the blogs and pin your favorites! We will be back again in May to show you even more Eastern Palace goodies, so be sure to come back! If you're not a demonstrator and would like to know how you can get this bundle now - comment below! Next up is the very talented Jennifer Sootkoos!

Happy Memorial Day! Hope you are enjoying the long weekend. It’s been a dreary weekend here in PA. On the upside, I’ve done a lot of stamping…so no complaints here! I got together with a few friends on Saturday to stamp and this is one of the cards we made. It’s funny how a particular stamp set doesn’t quite excite you until you really put a little creative energy into it. That’s exactly how the… Continue reading

Eastern Beauty Stamp and Die Set Lucky Limeade Ink Night if Navy Ink Yoyo Yellow Ink Blackberry Bliss Ink Glitter Dot...

Yesterday was National Scrapbook Day and although I'm not a big scrapbooker, I do like to celebrate the day by inking up my stamps and creating something special. What fun and a good excuse to spend time in my craft room. I was thrilled to share the afternoon with one of my besties, Debby Evoy who is also a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in the Abbotsford area. It was a great afternoon of yakking, stamping, sharing tips, laughter and smiles. The latter actually influenced and inspired me to create this "hello" card. Here's My Card: This is the first of many Eastern Palace Suite cards I'll be sharing during the month of May. It's my own original design. Sometimes it's nice not to add a sentiment to the inside of the card, so I didn't stamp anything I just added the two strips of stamped card stock at the bottom to tie in with the front panel of the card. Supplies: Stamp Sets: Eastern Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set and Nailed It (R) Inks: Fresh Fig (New), Lemon Lime Twist (New), Tranquil Tide (New) Card Stock: Tranquil Tide, Fresh Fig, Whisper White, Gold Foil Accessories: Big Shot, Acryllic Blocks, Paper Trimmer, Dimensionals, 2" Circle Punch, 2 1/2" Scalloped Circle Punch, Stitch Shapes Circle Framelit Dies, 1/2" Circle Punch, Eastern Medallions Thinlet Dies. Eastern Medallion Thinlet Dies: Before we look at what went into making the above card I want to give you some tips regarding the Eastern Medallion Thinlet Dies . First of all, there are 14 individual dies with multiple options for layering. I don't know about you, but although it's exciting to think of all the variations I wasn't sure where to begin. I began by cutting out a 4/78" x 6 1/4" piece of Magnetic sheeting to hold all the dies in place. I numbered each of the dies with a bright pink Sharpie Pen, so I could see at a glance which die I was using. Here are some pictures of my dies and during the next few weeks when I refer to these dies it will be by number, for example: Combine dies #1, 2 and 3 to make a particular configuration. Here's the Magnetic Sheet I use to hold all the Eastern Medallion Thinlet Dies. Note: when you first get the dies they are attached to a sheet of thin card stock with scotch tape, that is very strong and it's difficult to easily remove them. Be extremely carefully removing them because you don't want to bend or warp the dies. Here are some close-up pictures of the dies and how I numbered them. Fig 1. Dies 1-3 starting from the smallest die in the center. Fig 2. Dies 4-6 starting from the smallest die in the center of the flower. Fig 3. Dies 7-9 starting with the die that looks like a driedel. Fig 4. The small flower is #10 and the larger flower is #11. Fig 5. These smaller individual dies were numbered 12-14. When I began cutting out the various dies I was surprised that some of them didn't cut all the way through the paper. I wasn't expecting that. See the examples below. Figures 6, 7 and 8 show how the individual dies look. Fig 6. You can see from this picture that circles 1 through 6 do not cut through the paper. The reason for this is that when you layer the dies together as in Figures 1 to 4 above, you'll get one solid medallion. If you want to separate them and use the die shape in some other way you can use coordinating punches or dies to cut them out. Fig 7. In this sample you can see that two of the dies #s 8 and 10 do not cut through the paper entirely, while 7,9,11,12,13, and 14 do. Fig 8. These are the negative images from the above die cuts. Fig 9. In this picture you can see that only the petals have cut through the card stock on the first flower image. To remove the whole flower from the card stock you need to snip the small pieces of card stock in between the petals to remove it. I used my small detail cutting scissors. I marked the cutting area on the second flower with white ink. The blue flower shows what it looks like when it's free of the card stock. Assembly: Card Base: I cut an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Tranquil Tide card stock and scored it at 4 1/4" for the A2 card base. 1st Layer: I cut a piece of Fresh Fig to 5" x 3 7/8". Note: Before adhering this layer to the card stock I punched out a 2" Stitched Shape Circle and a #10 Fresh Fig flower layer. 2nd Layer: I cut a piece of Gold Foil to 4 7/8" x 3 3/4". Before adhering to the Fresh Fig layer I punched out a 2" Scalloped Circle and a #14 small floral layer. 3rd Layer: For the final layer I began with a 4 x 5 1/4" piece of Very Vanilla card stock but later reduced this piece to 4 3/4" x 3 5/8". I used the overage for the designer strip on the bottom inside of the card. I stamped my own background by randomly stamping the small and medium circle stamps from the Eastern Beauty Photopolymer Stamp set in Fresh Fig and Lemon Lime Twist. I randomly stamped the "hello" sentiment in Tranquil Tide. Large Medallion: I started with a 2 1/2" Tranquil Tide Stitched Shapes circle layered with a 2 1/2" Scalloped Gold Foil circle, a 2" Fresh Fig Circle, and a 1 3/4" Very Vanilla Stitched Shapes layer. I stamped the sentiment "to think of you is to smile" in Fresh Fig ink. Small Flower Medallion: The small flower medallion was made by cutting out and layering two #10 die cuts - the bottom one in Tranquil Tide and the top one in Fresh Fig. Next I cut a Gold Foil layer using die #14. I stamped one of the cute little smiley face icons from the Nailed It stamp set in Fresh Fig ink on Very Vanilla card stock and cut it out with a 1/2" circle punch. I popped up the center on a Dimensional. Inside Panel: A Very Vanilla panel measuring 4" x 5 1/4" was cut and adhered to the card base. A 1/4" strip of the background paper was adhered to a 1/2" piece of Fresh Fig card stock and then adhered to the bottom of the card panel. I didn't stamp a sentiment at this point because this card could be used for various occasions such as Thinking of You, Happy Birthday, Congratulations or Just a Note. Well that's the end of today's post. I hope you enjoyed it and I've provided some helpful hints on using the dies. I will continue to provide tips and tricks for using this set creatively over the coming weeks. I'd love to hear your comments and whether you find this kind of tutorial useful. Happy Stamping!
