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

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?

Stamp Set:  High Tide

Ink:  Marina Mist, Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, Basic Black

Oh So Succulent Planter

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Succulent Treat Planter

Here is another project that we made at my Easter 3D Class.  But it isn't just for Easter, I made some of these succulent planters this week for my Grandkids' Teachers for 

"Teacher Appreciation Week."  

Their teachers loved them.

But wait...there's more...

    this cute succulent isn't just a plant, the planter  is filled with treats.

Check it out... the top comes off

and you can fill it up with treats. 

 Such a fun way to give a little something

 Especially chocolate! 

YUMMM

So hurry to my online store so you can purchase the Succulent Framelits as they are retiring and supply is selling fast.

http://punchinup.stampinup.net

Products used for the Succulent Plant

Cardstock:  Pear Pizzazz

Ink:  Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry

Framelits:  Succulent Framelits (142757)

Layer Circle Framelits (141708)

I first sponged all the Pear Pizzazz Framelit cutouts with Pear Pizzazz ink, then sponged the tips with Rich Razzleberry ink.  I curled the edges with my bone folder and glue the pieces together.  I then used a hot glue gun to glue the Succulent to the Spanish moss that is glue to the circle piece. I added two more circles with dimensionals so it would be more like a lid and not slip off the planter. (as you can see in the third picture) You can add any saying that fits the occasion. I tied the saying on with bakers twine to one of the candies. Then you can just add more treats.

Please visit my online store to purchase any of the products used to make this project or to purchase any products on your wish list to creeat your masterpiece.
