Eastern Medallions with Repeat Step Stamping

Another set of products that's retiring on 2nd June - The Eastern Beauty stamp set and coordinating Eastern Medallions thinlits dies.  I've also used one of the retiring In-Colours - Lemon Lime Twist.

Eastern Beauty stamp set & Eastern Medallions dies are both set to retire on 2 June 2019
It's easy to make a die cut label the correct length for your sentiment

I did a little "step stamping" with the ever-useful Stamparatus to make the background and then used the dies to create the focal piece.

I cut out the greeting with one of the Merry Christmas dies, shortening it using this method.  I then used Rectangle Stitched Framelits to cut the coloured layers.

Thank you for visiting.

Flourishing Phrases on Glossy Sponged Background

Although it uses Glossy Cardstock, this card is a little different from the others that I made all in one afternoon because the colours are sponged onto the cardstock.

Sponged inks really glow on Glossy White Cardstock

I used the same colours and basic design as in this card and this one and added the Daffodil Delight ribbon.  The greetings are from the Eastern Beauty stamp set.

I used Stampin' Write Markers in Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide to colour in the flourish.

The base card is Bermuda Bay with layers of Elegant Eggplant and Crushed Curry.

Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlight: Masculine Card - Eastern Beauty Bundle

This card is included in Kylie Bertucci's International Highlights.  The top ten winners will be part of an international blog hop - so we're all keen to do well!  Please visit to see all the amazing cards and vote for your favourites.  
Our theme for this highlight is Masculine.  

One of our friends is celebrating his 70th birthday this week and this will be his card.  I think the colour combination saves this card from femininity.  I was concerned about adding the medallion and tassel but then I came to the conclusion that there's no reason why a man shouldn't have the pleasure of receiving a beautifully appointed card!

Opulent but masculine with the Eastern Beauty bundle!

The card base is in the new In-Colour, Lemon Lime Twist (the one I thought I wouldn't like!) and the paper is from the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. 

The horizontal band is made with more Lemon Line Twist cardstock and some Dapper Denim decorated with gold stickers from the matching Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers.  The Dapper Denim, Gold Foil and Lemon Lime Twist medallion is created with the Eastern Medallions thinlits, Layering Circles framelits and a circle punch.  At the centre is one of the gorgeous new Glitter Enamel Dots  and of course there's a beautiful gold tassel from the new Mini Tassels Assortment.

The new In-Colours combine very well with Dapper Denim

Inside the card can be found a greeting and age stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and Dapper Denim with the Number of Years stamp set.  The corners are decorated with one of the stamps from the new Eastern Beauty stamp set and Tranquil Tide ink (one of the new In-Colours).

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%.

I hope you've enjoyed this card and I welcome your comments.
