Eastern Palace Suite-Last 2 coordinating thinlits

  The last two coordination thinlits also cut out the image with some inside petals.

I used the center from another set of thinlits to create the center for this card.  And I added a tassel.  I wasn't sure about the tassels when I saw them in the catalog, but think they add a fun feature to the card.

For my last card I just used the inside part of the coordination thinlits to create some petals.  Notice the sticker that I added to the center.

I hope the cards I have featured this week have made you excited about one of the new sets you can order from the new catalog.  Want it now?  You can order it now until the end of May.  And then of course when the new catalog comes out in June.

Come back on Monday to see the cards I presented in my last chance card buffet.  It will be hard to say goodbye to some of these favorite stamps.

Eastern Palace Suite-2 coordinating thinlits

  The image in the center of this card was made using 2 coordinating thinlits from the Eastern Medallion thinlits.  When you use these 2 thinlits together they actually cut out the design you see in the center.

How did I get the other two images?  I snipped the small piece of card stock that is in between the petals and made the flowers. 

How did I get the cute design that is in the center of each flower? I cut out the design from some of the designer paper.

I made this card with the outside piece that was leftover from the card above.  I stamped one of the tiny images in the center of each petal piece.

For this card I just ran the center piece through the big shot to get the petals only.  I cut them out using the layering circles.

For my final card today I snipped out the inside of the image and just used the outside for my accent piece.

I had such fun trying to use different parts of the match thinlits in different ways.  

Come back tomorrow to see how I used the last grouping in two different ways.

Eastern Palace Suite- 3 more thinlits

Would you like to receive this card as a swap?  I made several of this card front for a swap we had at my upline meeting the first week of May.  Here is what I used for this card.

1. I used the second 3 piece grouping of thinlits together and ran them through my bigshot using the new designer paper.  

2. Next, I snipped a small piece of paper that was between each petal of this design to make the medallion become a separate piece.

3. I finished the card with some stamping and layering.

1. For my second card I cut the 3 thinlits out of a square piece of Fresh Fig card stock.

2. I added a small sticker and a small image to complete the accent piece.

3. I attached the accent piece to another design of the Eastern Palace Specialty designer paper.

1. For my final card of today I ran each one of the 3 coordinating thinlilts through the big shot using a different color each time.

2. I cut each design out using the layering circles.  I also popped up each one of the petals to make it look like a flower.

Come back tomorrow to see some samples I made using 2 thinlits that are meant to coordinate with each other.

Eastern Palace Suite-3 Looks

  You might wonder what is in this Eastern Palace Suite.

14 thinlits called Eastern Medallion

21 Photopolymer stamps called Eastern Beauty

4 sheets of Eastern Gold Vinyl stickers

12 mini tassels

12 sheets of 12 by 12 Eastern Palace Specialty designer paper

  The cards I am going to share with you today use one of the groups of thinlits.  These thinlits come in a group of 3.  The outside layer does not cut all the way through the card stock, but can be cut with a square of card stock like my first card.

Do you notice 2 new in-colors.  The lime green is called Lemon-Lime Twist and is my favorite.

The blue color is called Tranquil Tide. It goes well with all our other blues.

In this second card I used the same 3 coordinating thinlits.  Can you see how I changed them?

1. I ran each one separately through my big shot.
2. Next, I cut them out with one of the layering circles. 
3. Finally,  Then I layered them on top of each other.

  The new color in this card is called Fresh Fig and goes well with our other purple colors. 

  The final card for today incorporates several of the stamps included in this suite.

1. First, I cut out the 3 coordinating thinlits in white card stock.
2. Next I stamped the funny looking dotted image.  Because this design is symmetrical it is easy to match the stamp up to the same spot each time you ink it.  When the entire shape has been stamped it adds another petal look to the card. I love this look. 
3. Finally, I added on of the tiny stamps inside each petal, cut out an inside image and added a sticker to the center of the card.

Come back tomorrow to see what I create using another set of coordinating thinlits.
