An Eastern Beauty Birthday

Again, I pulled out the Eastern Beauty stamp set and coordinating Eastern Medallions thinlits to make this bold and bright birthday card. I know I’ve mentioned this before but I can’t believe this is another bundle I was on the fence about when it first came out…not sure if I would really like it or use it. Well, I am happy I jumped off the fence and ordered it! As far as using it, HERE, HERE and HERE are other examples of projects I’ve created with it.

Here’s the details

Whisper White thick card stock is my go-to for making white card bases. I was really pleased to see that Very Vanilla thick card stock is also now available.
A mat of Berry Burst cut 1/4″ smaller and another Whisper White (regular card stock) cut an additional 1/4″ smaller are adhered with tombow glue.
Isn’t this a fun sentiment? The new Celebrate You stamp set only has three stamp images but boy are they sassy!

The sentiment is stamped in Dapper Denim ink.

A 5″ x 1 1/2″ panel of Dapper Denim card stock provides a nice contrast to the medallions.
The medallions are stamped with Berry Burst and Dapper Denim ink and cut using the Medallion thinlits.
I glued the two on the right and left hand side directly to the card stock and then popped the middle one with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finally, I added a few Glitter Enamel Dots and called it a card! The Glitter Enamel Dots are perfect for adding just a touch of sparkle without overdoing it. They are also my free gift for orders over $75.00 this month…all that info can be found HERE.

The inside sentiment is from the Bunch of Blossoms stamp set and again, stamped in Dapper Denim ink.
A piece of Color Theory Designer Series Paper adds a bit of interest to the inside as well as the envelope flap.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and can find some time to stamp. My pre-order came late yesterday, so I’m hoping to crack into some new sets this weekend. But I’m also hoping to have some time to enjoy a little summertime as there are only as few short weeks left! Whatever your plans, I hope you have FUN!

Take care,
