Today I’m sharing yet another card from my Eastern Palace one sheet wonder. You can see more here, here, here, here, and here. I love the masculine colors of this set, as well as the exotic images, and feminine font. It’s a little something for everyone! And the Eastern Beauty Bundle (Eastern Beauty stamp set and Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies) helps you create amazing projects.
Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Dapper Denim card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Very Vanilla CS cut to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″, then cut in half diagonally, from corner to corner
- Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″, then cut in half diagonally, from corner to corner. I did need to trim a smidge, just about 1/6″, from the longest side of the triangle so the Very Vanilla CS would look the same all the way around it.
- Very Vanilla CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/2″ for the inside of the card
Stamped with the Eastern Beauty stamp set:
- sentiment and dotted circle in Tranquil Tide ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla CS
Die cut using the Layering Circles:
Assembled the card:
- DSP triangle glued onto Very Vanilla CS triangle
- Very Vanilla CS triangle glued onto front of the Dapper Denim card base
- sentiment adhered to DSP triangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Tranquil Tide 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon tied onto a Tranquil Tide mini tassel, then adhered to card front with Mini Glue Dots
- Very Vanilla CS glued to inside of the card base

Jun 7, 2017 | Blog Hop, Cards, Gallery, New Products |
ICS’ theme for our June blog hop is “It’s A Guy Thing.” We’re showcasing cards for Birthdays, Father’s Day, or any other occasion for which you may need a male card. I decided to go with a general “You’re The Best” sentiment, so this card can be used for almost any occasion, depending on what you write on the inside. It’s almost a monochromatic card, the Old Olive broken up only by a bit of Whisper White.

The Glitter Enamel Dots on the left side of the card front may seem like they’re getting their colors from the graduated Designer Series Paper (DSP) underneath, but they actually come that way. These are terrific new embellishments that match the new Color Theory DSP perfectly, but you can use them with many different Stampin’ Up! products.

The Color Theory DSP is this month’s Free Gift when you place an online order of at least $75 and use the host code! Scroll down for details.
The new Label Me Pretty stamp set is bundled with the new Pretty Label Punch to save you 10%!

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Old Olive card stock (CS) cut to 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ (2 pieces: one for card front and one for inside)
- Color Theory Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
Stamped with the Label Me Pretty stamp set:
- sentiment and outline shape in Old Olive ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
Cut using the Pretty Label Punch:
Assembled the card:
- sentiment adhered to DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Glitter Enamel Dots in graduated shades of Old Olive applied to DSP (I used a ruler to line up the dots)
- DSP glued to first Whisper White CS layer
- first Whisper White CS layer glued onto front of Old Olive card base
- second piece of Whisper White CS glued to inside of card base

And now for today’s project. I put this treat together in no time. I made it using the new Wood Textures Suite on pages 158-159 in the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog: Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, Wood Crate Framelits, Wood Words stamp set, Copper Trim, and 3″ x 6″ Gusseted Cellophane Bags.
Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:
Die cut using the Wood Crate Framelits:
- 2 of the crate pieces from Wood Textures Designer Series Paper
Stamped with the Wood Words stamp set:
- “Hello Friend” in Whisper White Craft ink onto one of the crate’s slats
- “Farmers Market” in Whisper White Craft ink onto both ends of the crate
- NOTE: I used my Heat Tool to dry the ink.
Assembled the crate:
- tabs on each die cut piece glued onto the other die cut piece, to create the crate
- goldfish crackers (Parmesan is my favorite flavor) put in a 3″ x 6″ Gusseted bag, then tied it closed with a piece of Copper Trim, tying it in a bow
- Copper Trim pulled along its length to widen it
- NOTE: the Copper Trim is a thin mesh tube that you can use as is, or you can pull on the sides to make it wider, which consequently makes it shorter in length. You can also put things inside the tube. Keep checking back to see examples.
- bag of goldfish put into the crate – Voila!
