Stampin’ UP has given both demonstrators and customers an exclusive early release of this great suite of products featuring the Eastern Palace Suite. I have paired it here with the Wood Textures Designer Series paper. The DSP changes the look of the suite completely. I love it with the gold paper accent and the beautiful stickers that come in the bundle.
If you want the entire huge bundle of products, they are available until MAY 31st. The premier bundle includes the new thicker very vanilla cardstock (FREE!) which is sure to be a favorite with card makers.
The products will then be sold individually in the new catalog that starts JUNE 1st. If you would like a copy of the new annual catalog, send me an email.
Life is Beautiful
The sentiments used on this card are from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set that will be open for purchase to customers on JUNE 1st. The sentiments are embossed with gold embossing powder.
This card demonstrates that paper piecing can definitely have the feel of stained glass. For this card, I cut the flower tag from the Timeless Tags Thinlits Dies three times. One using basic black cardstock, and one each of the sugarplum glimmer paper and the mint macaron glimmer paper.
Using an oval cut with the Stitched Framelit dies as my base, I attached the black flower outline to the oval first and filled in the missing pieces with glimmer paper. It is like putting the puzzle back together so to speak.
I hope you try out this technique. Let me know what you think in the comments section. I love hearing from you.

There is something truly magical about dragonflies. The way they dart and hover about on gossamer wings. I loved the shimmer that the dazzling diamonds brings to this card, it reminds of the delicate lacy look of their wings.
This is a card that could truly be done in any of your favorite colors. It could also include many different sentiments inside. I am using it as a birthday card but it could definitely be used as a thank you or sympathy card. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Cottage Greetings stamp set on the inside of the card. (not pictured)
It is set on a perfect plum card base (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) and framed out by a piece of dazzling diamonds cardstock cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″. I used the Fluttering embossing folder on a piece of whisper white cardstock cut to 3 3/4″ x 5″. I used the Tombo glue to adhere the layers together rather than snail as the snail tends to not work well with glitter paper.
The flower image was stamped in perfect plum and fussy cut with scissors. The ribbon image was also stamped in perfect plum. The dragonfly and the silver frame were stamped in versa mark ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. All the images are from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set.
I cut 2 frames. Using the 3rd largest framelit from the Lots of Labels frame lit collection, I cut one with perfect plum cardstock and one from the dazzling diamonds cardstock. The flowers, dragonfly and friend frame were popped up with dimensional. Adding pearls to the flowers and silver rimmed pearls to the frames finished it out.
Have fun crafting!
