Eastern Palace Suite

I gave myself a little challenge to use some of the products from the Eastern Palace Suite that I have in my stash.

I kept looking at the stickers, the mini tassels and the beautiful designer series paper trying to decide on how I was going to incorporate them in my card, but nothing was happening in the creative department .  Finally I decided to get one of my favourite 'go to' sketches out to get some inspiration happening.  This is the finished product.

I made two cards using the same sketch, just changing the colour of the card base, the design and positioning of the medallion.

A tip on using the decorative edging strip - As most of it is behind the medallion you only need to apply tiny pieces of the strip either end, this way you get more use from the stickers.

Eastern Palace Suite

Another Wood Textures Project

The inspiration for this project using the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper background came from Shannon Lane.   The strips of DSP give such a rustic look to the card.  It is a great way to use up the left over strips that always seem to be hanging around after making projects.

To make this card you need to the following pieces:

Measurements

A4 Crumb Cake cardstock cut in half to create the card base

Wood Textures Designer Series Paper - 1" strips

Very Vanilla cardstock 14.3cm x 10cm (for the inside)

Very Vanilla cardstock 13.8cm x 9.5cm

Very Vanilla cardstock 13.3cm x 9cm

Very Vanilla cardstock for the background medallion

Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla cardstock for the badge

Technique

Fold card base.

Adhere the strips of DSP onto the 13.3cm x 9cm piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. It does not matter if the strips hangover the edge as you cut these flush with the edge of the Very Vanilla cardstock piece.  Once all the pieces have been adhered you can mat this onto the Very Vanilla 13.8cm x 9.5cm cardstock piece and then adhere this to the card front.

Cut out the medallion using the Eastern Medallions Thinlits and Very Vanilla cardstock.  Stamp the badge image onto a piece of Crumb Cake using Basic Black Archival ink and punch out using the Best Badge Punch.  Stamp the image again on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut out the 'Journey' word and adhere this to the Crumb Cake badge piece using dimensionals.  Adhere the medallion in place, add some Linen Thread and then the Badge over this.  Add some sequins to finish.

Another Wood Textures Project

Eastern Beauty

Have you ever had the problem when you wanted to use a special piece of paper in your design but no other paper or card stock seemed to work with it?  I recently had this dilemma when I wanted to use the Soft Sky striped pattern from the Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper.  So what did I do to solve my problem, I stamped my own background patterned paper using an image from the Eastern Beauty stamp set and Soft Sky ink.

To make this card you need to the following pieces:

Measurements

A4 Soft Sky cardstock cut in half to create card base

Whisper White cardstock 14.3cm x 10cm (for the inside)

Whisper White cardstock 14.4cm x 10.1cm

Copper Foil Sheet 14.1cm x 9.8cm

Whisper White cardstock 13.8cm x 9.5cm (for stamping)

Foil Frenzy DSP 10.1cm x 5cm

Scraps of Whisper White and Soft Sky for the sentiment circle

Technique

Fold card base.

Stamp the 13.8cm x 9.5cm piece of cardstock using Soft Sky ink and the image from the Eastern Beauty Stamp Set.

Cut out the Medallion from the middle of the Copper Foil Sheet.  The remainder of the Copper Foil Sheet is the mat behind the stamped Whisper White cardstock piece.

Adhere all the layers together and then add the Soft Sky ribbon before adhering to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and cut out using the Circle Stitched Shape framelit.  Cut out a scalloped circle using the Layering Circle Framelits.  Layer together and then adhere to the Copper Foil Medallion using dimensionals.  Adhere the Copper Foil Medallion to the card front using dimensionals

For the inside of the card stamp the bottom right corner with the image used on the card front and the Soft Sky ink.
