Welcome to the Eastern Palace Suite Blog Hop with the girls from ESAD!
So .. what or who is ESAD?
Now, if you havent already heard Stampin’ Up! have pre-released one of it’s new suites this month for you to buy and wow the bundles they are offering are awesome – will have to get one myself I think!
Eastern Palace Suite Bundles (early release) …
These bundles are only available through May as once the new Catalogues start you’ll only be able to get the Stamps & Framelits as the bundle.
Eastern Palace Suite Cards …
Now for today’s Blog Hop I’ve had lots of fun and created three cards for you …
I have lots more ideas for this bundle so stay tuned over the next few weeks – you may also like to book in for my class on 20th May if you are local to me.
A Dapper Smile …
This is a great card and one that I originally made for my Brother In Law’s birthday – he’s a Parramatta supporter so the Blue & Gold worked perfectly. I purposely left space under the sentiment to stamp a design. I used the little three dots stamp and with the set being photopolymer it was easy to over stamp that larger dot.
Here’s his card …
A note for You …
This card was inspired by Anja Luft – a demonstrator in Germany. I’ve swapped the coloured layers around and added a couple more of the floral vinyl stickers to my decal. Those curved sentiments work so perfectly with the framelit cut out!
Life is Beautiful …
I’ve had this card in my head most of the week and it’s good to get it on paper … well cardstock! I did have lots of fun creating this card and it’s so easy and that little spray stamp behind the flowers just makes them ‘pop’.
I did the sprays first then added the other little stamped elements, added some lovely little gold bursts and gold Faceted Rhinestones for some bling. The sentiment in Powder Pink is perfect as it’s subtle enough to see and doesnt detract from the rest of the card.
I hope you enjoyed the cards I’ve made for you today and now it’s time to pop over and see what Kristel has made for you with the Eastern Palace Suite.
