Enjoy Today

I try to live by this mantra every day, but some days are a bit tougher than others.  I just love this card idea using the Eastern Palace Suite items from Stampin' Up!  I CASE'd this card from Patty Bennett's website at www.Pattystamps.com.  First the card:

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set:  Eastern Beauty

Paper:  Whisper White Note Cards, Whisper White Card Stock, Color Theory Paper Stack

Ink:  Berry Burst

Tools:  Eastern Palace Medallion Framelits, Big Shot die Cutting machine and accessories

Accessories:  Glitter Enamel Dots

Directions:

Attached the Berry Burst 'ombre' piece from the Color Theory Paper Stack to the note card base.  I then cut the medallion shapes in the Whisper White Card Stock, and then stamped the images using the Berry Burst ink, and the Eastern Beauty stamp set, leaving room for the sentiment.  I then layered this piece over the Berry Burst 'ombre' piece.   I suppose you could use Stampin' Dimensionals to attach the stamped element to the ombre piece, but I chose to leave it flat for ease of mailing.  I used a Glimmer Enamel Dot for the center of each cut out shape, and also to accent the sentiment.

I also did the same with the blue card, using Dapper Denim ink and the Dapper Denim 'ombre' sheet from the Color Theory Paper Stack.

Eastern Palace

This card was CASE'd (Copy and Share Everything) from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog on page 18.  This is part of the Eastern Palace Suite.  This is just ONE of the many gorgeous cards that can be made with the stamp set, coordinating Designer Series Paper, and the Gold Stickers.  First the card:

Supplies Used:

Stamp set:  Eastern Beauty

Cardstock:  Berry Burst (2017-19 In-Color), Very Vanilla

Ink:  Tranquil Tide (2017-19 In-Color), Versamark

Tools:  Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies, Layering Circles Thinlits Dies, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and accessories, heat tool

Accessories:  Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers, Gold Sequins, Gold Embossing Powder, Stampin' Dimensionals

Directions:   Card base is Berry Burst.  Very Vanilla overlay is cut 3.5 x 5" and run through the big shot with the appropriate Thinlit Die.  You can actually use any design die that you want but you want the colored card stock to show through from the back and have a center space big enough for the sentiment circle.  Attach to card front.  Using Tranquil Tide ink, stamp the sentiment on a scrap of Very Vanilla card stock.  Using Versamark ink and the dotted circle stamp, stamp around the sentiment, and then apply the gold embossing powder.  Set with heat tool.  Crop with 1 and 7/8" circle die.  Attach to center of the cutout with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Apply strips of gold vinyl stickers to each side of Very Vanilla piece.  Glue on gold sequins.
