Eastern Palace Suite


Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Eastern Beauty

Today I want to share with you a card I made for a Demonstrator Swap that I participated in using the Eastern Palace Suite.


I really like all the colors in the Eastern Palace Designers Series Paper, which is why I had a hard time choosing which sheet of DSP to use. I decided to use one of the New In-Colors Tranquil Tide as my cardstock base color along with a layer of Very Vanilla Cardstock and Tranquil Tide DSP from the Eastern Palace Suite.  The Gold Foil and Natural Gold Ribbon adds such an elegant look along with adding a strip of the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers.  Personally,  I'm not a big fan of stickers on cards, but I must say...I think the Gold Vinyl Strip added to the beauty of the card.
What are your thought?

Products used:

Stamp Set:  Eastern Beauty
Ink:  Tranquil Tide
Cardstock:  Tranquil Tide, Very Vanilla, Gold Foil
Designers Series Paper:  Eastern Palace
Thinlits:  Eastern Medallions Dies
Accessories:  Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers, 1/4" Natural Trim with Gold Metallic Center, Stampin' Dimensionals

Please visit my online store to purchase any of these products used to create this card or to purchase any products on your wish list.

Have a great day!
 
Thank you,
Cathy

High Tide Meets Seasonal Layers

Welcome to Punchin' Up!


Relaxing by the Waterfront

Today I want to share with you a card that I made for my Stampin' Up! Club using the Stamp Set "High Tide" and the "Seasonal Layers" Thinlits.  I got my inspiration from a card that I received in a swap (no name was on the back so I can't give her credit) and from many cards that I have seen online from other fellow demonstrators.  So with a combination of many ideas, colors, and a little twist of my own.... this is what was the finished card.



This was a great card to show how to use a few  colors of Ink, Stamping Sponges and Sponge Daubers to create a stunning waterfront.

  I wish I was sitting in that chair looking over the beautiful water, enjoying the cool breeze and the birds in the sky.  It just looks so relaxing.  
What do you think?

Products Used:

Stamp Set:  High Tide
Ink:  Marina Mist, Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, Basic Black
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Marina Mist, Soft Suede
Accessories:  Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Stamping Sponges, Sponge Daubers, Whisper White Bakers Twine.

Please visit my online store to purchase any of the products used to create this card or to create a masterpiece of your own.   


Thank you,
