Eastern Palace Specialty DSP again

Leave a reply

Here’s another piece of the Eastern Specialty DSP but a completely different colorway. This one is pairing Fresh Fig with the Tranquil Tide instead of Lemon Lime Twist. It’s a fairly lively print which gave me a few issues as I tried to pair it with the new Eastern Medallions Thinlits dies, but everything I tried came out too busy. So this one just has a simple banner.

The card base is very vanilla (another reason to love the Eastern Specialty DSP) with a deep border of Fresh Fig before a piece of the pretty DSP. I then took a piece of very vanilla scrap and stamped the sentiment from Endless Birthday Wishes (it’s going away, but guaranteed to be available until next Monday) in Fresh Fig. I think this may be the most used sentiment that I have in my collection! I had trimmed the scrap to be just under an inch wide so that it would easily slide into the triple banner punch. I cut a piece of fresh fig just over an inch wide and cut one end of the banner with the triple banner punch. At this point, I realised that I’d have to be really careful to accurately use the punch for the other end so I glued the two pieces together and used scissors to cut the flag in the fresh fig. It’s not as simple, but it’s safer! I popped this up with dimensionals.

Eastern Palace Specialty DSP

As I mentioned yesterday, the Eastern Palace bundles are available for customers today! I decided to play with some of the Eastern Palace Specialty DSP to show you some of the elegance. I went with a very simple layout to showcase 2 of the papers.

So here I have one of the papers matted on one of the new colors, tranquil tide (love it – it’s a deeper lost lagoon!) and then a put onto another color that I love – fresh fig. It’s like a slightly less intense blackberry bliss if you know that color from last year. For my sentiment, I used my beloved Endless Birthday Wishes which I stamped in versamark and then fresh fig before sprinkling on the clear embossing powder and heating. I created the banner using the triple banner punch and used another piece of paper from the Eastern Palace Specialty DSP for matting, one of the specialty ones actually. I popped this up with dimensionals on my fresh fig card base.

Endless Birthday Wishes

Leave a reply

Endless Birthday Wishes is retiring soon; it’s guaranteed to be available in the US until May 22nd but after that it’s as supplies last. This is possibly one of the most versatile sets that I have and I’m not sure how I’m going to live without it! When I need just a little sentiment, I can be sure to find what I need in this set whether it’s my favourite “celebrate” or a combination of the words to build up a saying. Or even matching it with the Hello You thinlits (also retiring – but as supplies last). I’ll need to examine the new catalog with a fine tooth comb to find a worthy replacement!

I stamped the cake in rose red and used a blender pen to pull a little of the ink before cutting it out with one of the stitched shapes framelits dies. My background is a little piece of Party Animal DSP, but of course any that you have to hand would do. I’m trying to use up my DSP so that I don’t feel so much of a hoarder when I buy more! I matted the DSP onto a piece of rose red card stock and glued that to a thick whisper white base. The Endless Birthday Wishes cake is popped up on dimensionals. The celebrate is of course my regularly used sentiment from the same set, in emerald envy to match the DSP. Easy card today and a formula that could be used to help use up a lot of DSP (although not much per card!).

Here are just a few of projects I’ve previously made with this set

Party Animal DSP

Designer Series Paper always retires with the catalog, and Party Animal DSP is no different. I’ve just checked and this is still available but it is whilst supplies last. So as usual, if you want it, get it quickly.

This is a very simple layout and quick to make but changing the paper and the depth of the band makes it look a whole new card. It’s a useful layout to have in your back pocket for when you need a quick card or when you just want to showcase some designer series paper. Here I cut a piece of the Party Animal DSP to the depth that gave me an elephant and a hedgehog because I like them – simple as that! Then I took a piece of emerald envy card stock and made it 1/8 inch deeper to give a little mat. The sentiment is also in emerald envy – it’s from Endless Birthday Wishes, a stamp set that I have used extensively in the past but is currently on the retiring list. This, like all stamp sets, will be made until May 22nd and then as supplies last up to the end of May.

I love the Stylish Stems Framelits Dies. They are gorgeous and allow you to create some really fun cards and they are on the retiring list and right now, they are in LOW inventory status. They are also 40% off and only $18.60 – a no brainer. Go ahead and snap them up right now! (host code A2XGZS79).

I’m also showcasing a new (to me) technique – the shaving foam technique. I took a wooden stamp case and sprayed shaving foam into it, and levelled it out somewhat with a chopstick (a plastic knife would be easier). Then I added drops of melon mambo, pumpkin pie and daffodil delight and mixed these up a little with my chopstick and then pressed a piece of whisper white into it. I scraped off the excess and then blotted it with a paper towel. I ended up with a beautiful swirly pattern on the card. I mixed up my foam again and went again. I also did the same technique with dapper denim, pear pizzazz and soft sky and produced the following. You can see the progression from right to left as the ink was more mixed and then on the fourth and fifth pieces I added extra drops, first of soft sky and then pear pizzazz. I didn’t get a picture of the one I’m using today – I loved it so much, it was cut up before I thought!

So for today’s card, I cut the flower in the base and then positioned a piece of my patterned paper behind it. Next I cut out the the outline of the small flowers twice in the patterned paper and using two of the framelits, cut out the peek through small flower and then cut it out from the card. I carefully mounted this onto my patterned pieces to produce the two small beautiful flowers. I popped these up on dimensionals. The celebrate comes from the Endless Birthday Wishes (also retiring and at just $16 a fabulously versatile set – I use it all of the time). The card base is actually watermelon wonder because after the colours were mixed, it was the perfect choice!
