Eastern Palace Suite

This week I'm featuring the Eastern Palace Suite.  This is a special bundle that will be available for purchase May 1 through May 31 and then the products will be available in the new catalog but not with the bundle pricing.  

Below are two cards I made with this suite.  Which one do you like better?

This one is using Tranquil Tide for the sentiment and the medallion.

Oh So Succulent Thank You Card

Below are the steps to create this card.  

  • Stamp succulents in Sweet Sugarplum, Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight, Peekaboo Peach and Calypso Coral.  I stamped off with the backgrounds to get the lighter color and then stamped full strength with the detailed stamps.  I did the same for the greenery in Pear Pizzaz.
    (P.S. TIP: To stamp off, just ink up your stamp full strength and then stamp on scratch paper, then onto your card stock.  That takes a layer of ink off the stamp to get a lighter look. 
  • Using the Big Shot, cut out all the succulents pieces using the matching Succulent Framelits Dies.
  • Using the Big Shot, cut large wreath from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies in Early Espresso Card Stock.
  • On 5 x 3 3/4 Whisper White Cardstock stamp sentiment in Early Espresso Ink
  • Adhere wreath using the Fine Tip Glue
  • Adhere succulents and greenery using Fine Tip Glue and Dimensionals 
  • Emboss 5 1/4 x 4 Wild Wasabi Cardstock with the Petal Burst Embossing Folder
  • Adhere embossed piece to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Whisper White card base
  • Add wreath to card base to complete card.

Welcome to P.S. Paper Crafts!!

Check out this Thank You card using the free Make A Medallion stamp set that is still available until March 31 with a $50 order.  

Below are the steps to make this card:

  • Use Very Vanilla for A2 card base

  • Stamp Sentiment from So Very Much set on Very Vanilla card stock and cut banner edge
  • Determine where you want to place the Mint Macaron strip on the card and move it up just a tiny bit, then draw a very light pencil mark along it so you have a guide to stamp the edging with the flourish stamp across the card to make that border, stamp that in Marina Mist.
  • Adhere the Mint Macaron strip over the top edge of the border you just stamped
  • Determine where you want to put the Medallion and before adhering it, adhere the sentiment on the Very Vanilla strip under it
  • Adhere the Medallion with Dimensionals
