Crazy Crafters Blog Hop - Annual Catalogue Sneak Peek: Eastern PalaceTrifold

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters' Blog Hop featuring beautiful new products from the brand new 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue that launches on 1st June.

Whether you are starting the blog hop here at my blog, Stephanie Fischer - The Crafty Thinker, or have come from the person before me, be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

My head was in a spin deciding which product to use - for me, this is the best ever catalogue and there's so much that I already love!

In the end I chose the Eastern Palace Suite because I've had it the longest and hadn't got around to using it simply because I was so distracted when more new products arrived! 

The two patterns with gold foil are simply spectacular!  I included both on the back part of the card.

The Speciality Designer Series Paper in this suite is so exquisite that I really wanted to make it the star of the show!  This modified Trifold card was perfect for the occasion! 

Can you spot the new In-Colour Lemon Lime Twist?

The pack includes the same pattern in two colourways: Dapper Denim and Tranquil Tide (a new In-Colour) and the other is gold. 

I used an A4 sheet of Dapper Denim to make this modified trifold card

I cut some Whisper White cardstock and Gold Foil Sheet with the Lots of Labels dies to create a simple background to showcase some of the decorative features of the bundle.  There are several dies in the Eastern Medallions Thinlits set that work together to create a large variety of effects.  They can also be dressed up further with the compatible Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers and/or the Mini Tassel Assortment.

I used some of the new Glitter Enamel Dots in Berry Burst to compliment the Tassel

I haven't even got around to using the amazingly versatile matching Eastern Beauty stamp set with its 21 beautiful stamps!  The possibilities are endless.

I left one plain piece of Whisper White cardstock as a space for writing the message in the card.

New products used in this project:
Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper
Eastern Medallion Thinlits dies
Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers
Mini Tassel Assortment
Glitter Enamel Dots
In-Colour cardstock: Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist


Purchasing the Eastern Beauty stamp set and Eastern Medallion Thinlits dies as a bundle offers a saving of 10%.

Swallowtail Tri-fold

Today I'm continuing my journey with the gorgeous Fancy Foil Designer Vellum and I've paired it with the Swallowtail stamp - which always adds instant wow!  And - who doesn't love a Tri-fold card?

The Fancy Foil Vellum adds interest and richness to a simple design

I've taken the dot and diagonal themes a step further by using the Large Polka Dot and Stylish Stripes embossing folders.

The dots and diagonals are continued in the embossed panels

The greeting is from the That Thing You Did stamp set, stamped in Basic Black. I used the Out of the Box technique to cut out the butterfly using one of the Chalk Talk framelits.  The edges are inked with Lost Lagoon ink.

The greeting is suitable for many occasions

The colours I used are Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Soft Sky, Tip Top Taupe and Chocolate Chip.

Thank you for visiting today, I hope you like the card.

Rose Garden Tri-fold card

Fresh garden colours in the Wildflower Fields paper

In need of a Tri-Fold card sample for one of my classes, I made this one featuring the Rose Garden Framelits and the beautiful FREE Sale-A-Bration paper - Wildflower Fields (with a $90 purchase).

I won't add to the proliferation of tutorials for Tri-Fold cards here but, if by chance you aren't familiar with this fold, you will be able to find many great tutorials through good old Google!

I didn't layer the yellow horizontal panels but for all the other panels, I have layered the printed paper onto Hello Honey cardstock.

I cut the Rose Garden flowers and leaves several times in varying shades: So Saffron, Crushed Curry and Delightful Dijon for the flower and Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive for the leaves.  Then I did a little mix and match paper piecing.

Roses from any angle!

The small flowers are cut with one of the Botanical Builder framelits.

I stamped the frame from Rose Wonder in Cherry Cobbler ink onto Whisper White cardstock, added the birthday greeting in black ink and then cut it with one of the Rose Garden framelits.  I layered this onto a label cut with a Lots of Labels framelit - extended in length using this method.

I stamped one of the greetings from the Tag Talk stamp set in black onto Whisper White cardstock and punched it out with the matching Label Bracket Punch.  I then layered this on to Hello Honey cardstock cut with a Deco Label Framelit and edged with black ink and a sponge dauber.

If you look carefully, you'll see that I supported the right hand flower and leaves with a strip of acetate just in case the leaves couldn't handle the folding and unfolding.  To do this, I positioned the acetate prior to sticking down my designer paper.
