When I first saw this suite I was not sure that I would use it. Then as I saw the cards and ideas that were being created with it, I thought “This may be ok”. And when I played with it…. I was hooked!! Oh My! The entire suite is just the best. Today’s card is another of my play dates with this stamp set and the new InColors.
Eastern Beauty Bundle, 145308
I would apologize for continually using Lemon Lime Twist…..But I cannot….. It is my current addiction. I just love how it seems to coordinate with everything.
I did use the New (actually an old item returning) Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets! If you use the framelits, and especially the word framelits, this is a must have. You adhere the sheet to your card stock and then use the framlit to cut out your design or words. NOTE: Remember to put the adhesive side on the bottom. You don’t want your words to be upside down! I used the adhesive sheets on all three pieces of my design. After die cutting just remove the paper and it is covered in sticky goodness. No more glue everywhere for me.
As you can see there is very little stamping on this card. The base of the card is Thick Whisper White card stock. I used four of the new InColors and then just stamped that cute saying underneath. The center of the design is one of the Glitter Enamel Dots.
I hope you will give this wonderful Eastern Beauty Suite a chance. It is definitely a keeper!!
The products I used are listed below. Thank you for stopping by and I thank you for your comments.
Today’s card is a super easy card and my first Global Design Project Challenge !! I am excited and nervous. My wonderful upline Brian King challenged us to join in. The first picture is the design layout we are supposed to CASE.
You are allowed quite a bit of flexibility in your interpretation of the challenge design. But it being my first time, I didn’t go too far away from the drawing. Here is my card:
Oh So Eclectic , 143940
I am in love with the new InColors from Stampin’ Up! The two I used in this card are Tranquil Tide and Berry Burst. I think they are so rich and bright. The DSP is the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack. It is 4 each of 2 double-sided designs of all 5 of the new In Colors. WOW! They are gorgeous!
The stamp set is Oh So Eclectic and I just used the two step single flower. The flower is Berry Burst and I colored in the stem with a Pear Pizzaz marker. I then fussy cut the flower and glued it to a 2″ Circle punched from Tranquil Tide card stock. The greeting is from Oh So Eclectic as well and is stamped in Berry Burst. It is punched with the Classic Label Punch. I added a new Glitter Enamel Dot for some sparkle.
You can tell that I did not follow exactly the diagram. Instead of a ribbon and bow I just used a strip of Whisper White card stock to run down the side and behind the focal point. And that is my simple card.
Thank you for visiting today! You can go to the Global Design Project page and check out all of the cards that are linked there.
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.

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
I am once again using retiring products. The set That’s The Tag was definitely a “sleeper” set. It was to me as well until the first time I inked it up. And now I have used it several times in the last few weeks. Some of these items will stay with me in my craft room even after the new catalog goes live on June 1. I am thinking this set will be one of those keepers!
My Thanks So Much card was part of a swap I did with my stamp club last weekend. We do a Spring and a Fall card swap each year.
That’s The Tag, 142918, $17.00
This layout is a “File Away For Later” ! When I see the sketch challenges I think of other ways to use them, like I did here. This was a challenge sketch I had made note of except it called for a stamped background. For today’s card I just replaced it with the 2016-2018 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack in Emerald Envy. The banner is the reverse side of the stripes on the DSP.
The base of this card is Emerald Envy card stock cut to 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 folded in half
The Delightful Dijon is cut to 5 1/4 X 4
The Striped Emerald Envy DSP is cut to 5 1/8 X 3 7/8
The banner is also Emerald Envy DSP and is 1 1/2 X 4 and punched with the Banner Triple Punch
The Delightful Dijon circle is punched with the 2″ Circle Punch
The stamped circle is stamped in Emerald Envy and Delightful Dijon and punched with the 1 3/4 Circle Punch
I added the Metallic Enamel Shape as a highlight
And there you go, another quick and easy card and one that can be CASED in many different ways. I hope you like this card idea and will CASE it yourself.
