Morning all
Well Friday is here at last and here also are my final 2 cards that I made with the lovely Eastern Parade Bundle.
Let me remind you of the 2 bundles that will be available in my shop HERE on 1st May for you to buy.
There will be 2 bundles for you to choose from
<~~~~ On the left is the Starter Bundle which includes the Eastern Beauty stamps, 3 NEW in color ink pads!, Designer Series Paper and Vinyl stickers + a free gift of Very Vanilla Notecards (NEW product)
~~~~> On the right is the Premier Bundle which includes the stamps, matching thinlit dies, the card stock pack, the NEW incolor ink pads, Designer Series Paper, tassel embellishments and Vinyl stickers + a free gift of Very Vanilla THICK card stock and envelopes (NEW Product too!!)
So on to my cards for today - which are both Happy Birthday cards and again in a less traditional way to use this bundle.
This card shows some of the papers in the bundle with Dapper Denim cardstock and also here you can see one of those little tassels that you get in Premier bundle. Now I did not have any ribbon in the new Tranquil Tide in-color... but I did have white grosgrain and I did have a lovely fresh new ink pad, so after getting really inky and heat setting with my heat gun, I got a bow that was not perfect but nearly there! The sentiment is from Big on Birthdays stamp set and I got out my daubers and firstly rainbowed the DSP and then carefully rainbowed the stamp :) I love a rainbow.
You can see the rainbow DSP here - I love using the resist technique with foiled or embossed papers.
So on to card number 2
Now you won't see much Eastern Parade in this one.... but the background papers was made with the final new in-color that I have Fresh Fig and Blushing Bride inks. The 2 circle stamps are from the Eastern Beauty set and the little stars, balloons and ribbon are from Balloon Celebrations. The lovely Happy Birthday is again from Big on Birthdays.
I added some shading to the balloons firstly with the stamp and then with Fresh Fig and a blender pen.
So here you have it ladies, my take on Eastern Parade - a lovely bundle with lots of elements that you can use to stay traditional or be adventurous!
Again, please let me know if you have any question and I look forward to seeing your makes
Have a lovely weekend and see you next week

Hello
Did you like yesterday's cards?
Well I do have 2 more today and then another 2 on Friday so I hope that you are liking the bundles so far??
So the two today are more in line with the feel of these stamps and dies of the Eastern Palace....
Here we go - first lets see that little flower from last night
For this card I used the DSP from the bundle with the Dapper Demin card and ink. I used one of the framelit dies to cut away the design and then a small stitched framelit behind the flower. The sentiment is from Tin of Card Stamp Set.
A little close up of that lovely flower covered with gold enamel shapes - but just so you know there is something that co-ordinates perfectly with these flower centres in the new catalogues.... I just can't get my hands on them yet!!
My second card I used the Vinyl Stickers that are part of the Premium Bundle and there are loads!! If like me you tend not to use stickers on your cards.... please do not be put off my these! I used 3 on this card and a little stamping and blending and here ya go! I also used a piece of the DSP and blending So Saffron into the white area to tone it with my card.
That 'sun' looking die is also one from the kit with another small stitched framelit...
So what do you think... are we liking the bundle yet? You have plenty of time to make up your mind if you like the kit and of course ask me any questions or if you are close to me in West Malling/Maidstone you could come and have a try at my house if you wish.
Until Friday..... Hugs Sam xx

Hello all
Thank you for dropping back to see my cards.
Now looking at the bundles that are available tends to give a Moroccan feel but I don't tend to design cards like this - so I had to dig a bit deeper in my creativity to get some cards for you and actually I REALLY loved doing this.
So are we ready for some new cards......
Well let me just remind you of the 2 lovely bundles.... ok ok here are the cards
So for this one I have used Lemon Lime Twist (NEW color) with an old favourite Melon Mambo for this lovely bright card. All the stamps are in the Eastern Beauty stamp set along with this lovely sentiment. I have just added the stitched circle framelit and some rhinestones.... do you love the paper??
I think this is going to be a favourite color combo for me.
Okay on to my next card......
So here I wanted to move away from the colors in the bundle all together to see what the stamps and dies look like in another color way. I choose Pool Party and added a sentiment from Happy Celebrations Stamp set (which is staying in the new catalogue :) ) and some more rhinestones.
Do ya love the flower? This is one of the pop up dies which I snipped to make a cute little flower.... oh I then did a better one.... wanna see that?
Here is it.... but you have to wait for my next post to see the card!
Thank you for dropping by, please leave me a comment if you have any or contact me on my email.
