I am behind on trying out the new Eastern Beauty bundle. And I have to say it is amazing! At first glance I thought it really was not my style. But the more samples I saw using the set made me rethink my opinion. So after getting my hands on it and playing… Oh My!! I love it !! The set is so versatile. Here is my first adventure with the Eastern Beauty Bundle.
Eastern Beauty Bundle, 145308
I really like how this turned out and this design could be used for so many different occasions. I don’t know if you can see from the picture, but the petals of the Powder Pink flower are popped open a little. That is from the Eastern Medallion Dies that are part of the bundle. There are 14 pieces to the bundle! I still have not played with the majority of the options. I have seen where other demonstrators have die cut and circle punched several sheets of possibilities. Once June 1 arrives I am sure you will be able to find all of these on Pinterest.
As you can tell my card was very simple with stamping the circles in Powder Pink and Berry Burst. I then stamped and Die Cut the flower. The strip of Lemon Lime Twist DSP was just to tie everything together and balance it out. And like i said earlier, this layout would go with many different sentiments for almost any occasion.
Thank you for stopping by today! We are winding down on the current catalog and the Retiring List. There are some great values to be found there. But you only have a couple more days, it ends on May 31st.
If you do not have a current Stampin’ Up ! Demonstrator and would be interested in a new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog, drop me a note and I will be happy to send you one.

With all of the graduations going on now, I had a request for a Thank You card from a graduating senior. To say I was pleased is an understatement!! The card was for a favorite Aunt who loves to garden. This is what I came up with.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! Today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects that offer you a sneak peek at new items in Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Annual Catalog. We are so excited about the June 1 release of this new catalog – it’s AMAZING – and we are excited to share our sneak peek creations with you today. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My card for today’s InKing Royalty Hop is using items that I won at OnStage and that I got with the pre-order that us demonstrators LOVE! Is a great treat to see the catalog first and to then get to touch and play with new items.
Oh So Eclectic, Lovely Inside and Out
The sets I used are Lovely Inside & Out for the sentiment and Oh So Eclectic for the flowers and leaves. Oh So Eclectic is a very versatile stamp set and can be used singly or as a TWO STEP process. I did the two step process and stamped the leaves in Pear Pizzaz and then the top with Always Artichoke. The flower is stamped in Fresh Fig (one of the new InColors and one I LOVE!) and then secondly in Archival Basic Black. I used a Pear Pizzaz Stampin’ Write Marker to color the stem of the flower.
I added the sentiment in Pear Pizzaz and Always Artichoke and then used my friend Julie DiMatteo’s technique ( Julie’s posts are a must see, she is Number 2 in todays lineup.) I added a little splatter to the white part of the card. To do easy splatter Julie uses a marker, Fresh Fig, and flicks the large tip on the inside of the cap. It is so simple….proof is in the card that I did! I then added a couple of rhinestones just for some bling.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Karen Browning at
Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for May 2017. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our 2017 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are featuring projects that are “stepped up” by using textures or fun techniques. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.
You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below. The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.
Thank you for joining me on this Blog Hop! I have Technique, Texture, New, and Retiring in my card. Take a look and then I will explain!
In The Meadow, 140754, Daisy Delight (new)
This card has quite a bit going on, but I don’t think it is too much. I just ADORE the new Daisy Delight!! A must have from the upcoming catalog. And it bundles with a Daisy Punch, which is wonderful! As I said, this card is a mixture. So I will go through the details of each:
The Daisy is stamped on Shimmery White card stock , watercolored with re-inkers and the Aqua painter in Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, and Daffodil Delight. It is then punched out with the new Daisy punch.
The flowers are from the Daisy Delight set as well.
The grass and butterflies are from In The Meadow set. It is retiring (insert sad face)! This set is so versatile.
The Petal Burst Embossing Folder was used on Old Olive card stock. And I used the reverse side instead of the “raised up” embossing for a different look.
The card base is Calypso Coral cut to 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and folded in half.
The black layer is cut to 5 1/4 X 4
The Old Olive embossed layer is cut to 5 1/8 X 3 7/8
The smaller Black layer is cut to 3 1/2 X 3
The Whisper White layer is cut to 3 3/8 X 2 7/8
The Daisy is definitely the star of the card. The Shimmery White Card Stock is a must have in your paper supply. Without adding Wink of Stella you have a shimmer. And it is great for watercoloring without the super thickness of watercolor paper. A definite Win/Win in my book!
And did you notice the center of the daisy? That is the new Faceted Gems from the upcoming catalog as well. Isn’t that fabulous? They come in Gold and Clear and are in a couple of sizes. You really need to add these to your wish list.
As always if you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you!!
Thanks for visiting. To continue with the hop, please refer to the Blog Hop Line-up below. We hope to see you on next month’s Pals Blog Hop! Blog Hop Line-up:
I see 4 X 4 cards quite often and think to myself that I should try that, and of course I never do! Well today I did it!! And then I do the imaginary eye roll and ask “why did I wait so long to do this”? Duh….. Of course the 4 X 4 cards can be every bit as elaborate as a regular A2 card or just a simple note. I went with the simple.
Country Livin’ 141925, $15.00
My plan was for a cute little card that could be used for a variety of reasons. And as most of my cards are, it was very quickly put together. The stamp sets are Country Livin’ and Endless Birthday Wishes.
The base of the card is done in Soft Suede card stock = 8 X 4 and folded in half
The next layer is Sahara Sand card stock = 3 3/4 X 3 3/4
The top layer is Very Vanilla card stock = 3 1/2 X 3 1/2
The boots are stamped in Early Espresso Ink and colored with a Blender Pen and the Ink pads .
The boots are colored with Sahara Sand ink, the darker areas are Crumb Cake Ink and the sole and straps are Soft Suede ink
The Yippee is stamped in Early Espresso
The shading around the boots is Soft Sky ink and a blender pen. This idea comes from Susan Itell.
The ends of the top layer are torn and sponged with Soft Suede
The “lasso” is Linen Thread looped around and secured with a Glue Dot.
And that is the building of my card. I hope you enjoyed it. I love reading your comments and very much appreciate them. If you have any questions, please contact me.
It is hard to believe that the school year is already winding down. YIKES! where does the time go. And we all have or know the children, who are not children anymore!, that are graduating this year. This is a quick and glitzy card I made for a good friend’s daughter. I cannot believe she is old enough to be graduating and going off to college. Anyway, here is my Congrats Grad card:
Sunshine Wishes, 141489, 27.00
In trying to come up with a card I was looking over all of my stamp sets. When I noticed the background stamp Writing Notes, I decided it would be perfect. How much note paper do you go through in your 12 years of school? Once I decided on the paper stamp I had to figure a way to glitz it up to suit a teenage girl. I hope you like my Glitzy card!
The card is actually very simple. I mounted the layers at angles just to give it a little more modern look. The rest of the items are listed below.
The base is Night of Navy card stock 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 folded in half
The Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper is 5 1/4 X 4
The Whisper White card stock is cut to 5 X 3 3/4
The Writing Notes is stamped in Marina Mist
The “Celebrate You” and “Wahoo” (from Birthday Blast) are stamped in Night of Navy ink.
The “Congrats” is diet from Silver Foil Sheets using the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits
The small stars where the 3 ring holes would be in the paper are from Metallic Enamel Shapes
The raised silver foil stars are from a retired punch trio. (sorry about that)
And there you have it. A fairly quick and easy, but with some glitz, Graduation card. And of course this would work for any reason to Celebrate an Accomplishment! I know I should do that more often!!
