Favourite season Be inspired blog hop

Hello and welcome to the Be Inspired blog hop.
We are a bunch of Stampin Up demonstrators from around the globe,
 you may have hopped here from the lovely Kylie Bertucci in Australia?


This weeks theme is 'favourite season'.
Mine has to be spring!, longer and warmer days, spring flowers, little lambs, just lovely!
I chose the Basket bunch stamp set and matching basket builder thinlit dies.
It's a perfect set for spring inspired cards.

Party Animals Be Inspired blog hop

Hello and welcome to the Be Inspired blog hop.
If you are following the hop you will have arrived here from Kylie's Bertucci's blog in Australia.

This week our inspiration is taken from the Party animal DSP.
I have to admit I didn't go for anything in this collection so I had to draw inspiration from the stamps that I had already.


Here is what I came up with......


I had a lovely relaxing afternoon watercolouring all the different little animals!

Eastern palace Artisan design team hop

Hello and welcome to this weeks Artisan design team hop.

Here is a sneak peek of the Eastern Palace Suite.
 Exclusive for a limited time are the Starter and Premier Bundles,
 designed for both the beginning and avid crafters


Demonstrators can preorder the Eastern Palace Suite Starter and Premier Bundles April 4-30.
 Get your hands on these colorful and exotic products to prepare for launch May 1

For me I think my favourite part of this suite are the thinlit dies.
I love the detail and they are so striking that you need little else on a card,
perfect for the 'less is more' look



I chose one of the speciality papers to share with you today
I think metallic gold looks so pretty with white
The golden flower details (bottom left and top right) are from a set of Vinyl stickers from this suite, love them! 
so quick and easy.


So below are two of the brand new in colours! 
Fresh fig and Lemon lime twist YUM!
I think the circle stamps from the Eastern beauty stamp set really add a finishing touch
 and I can see me using these time and time again.



I wanted to share with you this photo so you can see that actually when you run this die through your machine it doesn't cut all the way through, so you have two options, either leave it intact or if you carefully snip at where it is attached you can create a separate element as I have with the white layer.


here's a closer look at how I have layered the two die cuts


I hope you have enjoyed a peek at the new Eastern palace suite
We will be sharing more with you in a couple of weeks
