Hi there
We’ve had some beautiful weather this past week – lovely sunny days with blue skies. I hope it lasts a bit longer as I’m not a fan of winter. Although with winter not that far around the corner it does mean that the new Annual Stampin’ Up! catalogue is not far away either – 1 June. I hope to receive the catalogues in a week so will have them ready to send to you shortly.
Following on from my recent Fancy Fold cards here’s another one. I CASED the design of this card from an overseas demo – BJ Peters. I’ve used products from the Eastern Palace Suite and teamed it up with Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist and Gold – very regal.
When the card is closed it looks just like a normal card front – with a few layers.
But open the side flap and there’s more underneath. For the front I’ve used one of the larger stickers from the Easter Gold Vinyl Sticker pack. The stamped images are from the Eastern Beauty stamp set.
Open it even more and all is revealed. The bow on the ‘arm’ uses the 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon – this ribbon is lovely to use for a bow. I’ve adhered it with a Glue Dot.
To create the front ‘circle’ I cut out a circle in Tranquil Tide then layered it with one of the die cuts from Very Vanilla which has a piece of Lemon Lime Twist behind it. The centre is layered even more with a piece of Dapper Denim and the sentiment stamped in Dapper Denim on a smaller Very Vanilla circle.
The Eastern Palace Suite was an early release suite last year and Stampin’ Up! have another ‘early release’ suite – ‘Share What You Love’. The products from this suite have been packaged into three different bundles that are available for the month of May – ‘Just Getting Started’, ‘A Little More, Please’ and ‘Gotta Have It All’. Come 1 June these bundles will no longer be available but you will be able to purchase the products individually.
I’ll be back tomorrow with a sample to share with you. In the meantime check out my ‘promotions‘ page to find out more about this suite.
Until then …
