Eastern Medallions in Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst

Posted on by

I am still loving the Eastern Beauty stamp set and co-ordinating Eastern Medallion Framelits , though I haven’t used it in a while – easily distracted by all the other goodies in the new annual catalogue. I have chosen to make some thank you cards using the set today, along with my 2 favourite new in-colors, Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst.

I die cut one of the large medallions from Whisper White cardstock using the Eastern Medallion dies and my Big Shot. I then die cut the medallion using the Layering Circle Framelit dies, love that the 2 die sets work together. I did exactly the same with the inner medallion ring.

I stamped the sentiment in Berry Burst ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it out using the smallest Layering Circle die. I then die cut a circle from Berry Burst cardstock and Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and using Tombow Liquid Adhesive used these to back the large and small parts of the medallion. I love the pop of colour this gives to the image.

I stuck the largest (Berry Burst) medallion to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow then added the Lemon Lime Twist medallion using Stampin’ Dimensionals on top. The sentiment was also added using Stampin Dimensionals for maximum impact.

Such a clean and simple card but so striking. I love it and hope you do as well.

Eastern Palace in Lemon Lime Twist and Night of Navy

Posted on by

I have been playing with the gorgeous Eastern Beauty stamp set and co-ordinating Eastern Medallion dies and thought I would share one of the cards I made with you today.

I went for a different shaped card base for this card by cutting an 8¼” by 8” piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock and scored it in half at 4” to make a longer, thinner card.

I cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock to 7¾” by 3½” and a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock 7½” by 3¼”. I rounded the upper left and lower right hand corner of both panels using my Project Life Corner Rounder. Taking the Night of Navy panel I layered up my Eastern Medallion Dies, one inside the other, largest to smallest in the centre of the panel taking care not to go near the edge. I added a Layering Circle die around the ‘medallion’ and ran the panel and dies through the Big Shot. I repeated the same die cutting on the Lemon Lime Twist panel. This is a great way to make the most of your cardstock as no-one will ever know each panel had a large shape cut from it. The result is 2 gorgeous intricate ‘doily’ like shapes which I then cut in half using my Stampin’ Trimmer.

I cut a Whisper White layer 7¼” by 3” and stamped the ‘starburst’ type shape in alternating Night of Navy ink and Lemon Lime Twist ink about  ⅓rd of the way up the panel then stamped the sentiment from Thankful Thoughts stamp set just below in Night of Navy ink. I added the cut medallions, staggered, and on either side of the panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.  I then layered the Whisper White panel on the Lemon Lime Twist panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and added both to the Night of Navy Layer. I added the whole piece to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I absolutely love this card and I am really liking the night of Navy, Lemon Lime Twist colour combo.
