Hello! I’m excited to be hopping with a group of talented demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand today.
We all hang out on a Facebook page called ESAD and have a love for all things Stampin’ Up!
You are in for a treat today as the group showcases the Eastern Palace Suite. I get to see the projects as you do, and I’m so excited for the creativity that will unfold as we hop around!
There’s a full list of participants at the end (in case there’s broken links) but hopefully it will all work out and you’ll just be able to keep clicking on ‘next’.
If you love Pinterest and Instagram, I’m sure you’ve already seen lots of Eastern Palace ideas floating around. This beautiful suite is a pre-release from the Annual Catalogue that starts on 1st June.
Stampin’ Up! have very generously put together 2 products bundles that you can purchase during May.
The Eastern Palace Starter Bundle is $104.75 and includes everything you see in this picture including the Very Vanilla notecards & envelopes for {FREE}.
The Eastern Palace Premier Bundle includes all these amazing items for $178.25.
The {FREE} items for this bundle are the Very Vanilla Thick cardstock & Very Vanilla notecards.
Last Sunday I participated in an Eastern Palace blog hop and featured a soft & pretty theme.
Today, it’s all about the traditional and I wanted to show you what you could make with the products in your Premier Bundle!
Using all of the products above – except the Lemon Lime Twist Ink – I made this cute little 6-pack of Very Vanilla Notecards.
In this gift set is 6 notecards & 6 envelopes decorated using the Eastern Medallion Thinlits, Gold Vinyl stickers & Eastern Palace cardstock pack.
It’s all packaged together with a belly band made using the Eastern Palace DSP, Eastern Medallion Framelits and a Fresh Fig Mini Tassel.
Each notecard features a peekaboo front.
I still wanted the sender to be able to write a message on the inside, so I stuck a card within the card and created a hidden message flap.
The Eastern Medallions are the standout of this suite for me – so many creative options!!!
Many of the framelits in this set do not cut all the way around the edge, which makes them perfect for card fronts & envelope flaps!!!
I used two different designs, one each in Fresh Fig, Dapper Denim & Tranquil Tide for my notecards.
I was so inspired by Lynsay’s envelope decoration on the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop – what a great idea to embellish the envelope flap with this suite.
The Eastern Beauty stamp set added the perfect finishing touches to my envelopes.
I didn’t set out to create a sentiment free gift set, but that’s how it ended up! And on reflection, it’s actually perfect!
Who doesn’t need a set of cards on standby for ‘any occasion’?
You could actually add a sentiment on these cards as needed. The curved stamps from the Eastern Beauty stamp set would look great around the curve of the die cut.
Thanks for enjoying this suite with me today. Next up on the hop is the always gorgeous, very talented and someone I’m proud to call a friend, Lou Kitzelman.
She organises these hops & does a great job of keeping us all in line! Not an easy task when working with such a big group, all with different levels of technical expertise!
You’re going to love what she’s made!
If you’d like to own either of the Eastern Palace Bundles, these links will take you to my online store, where you can purchase them for your collection.
