Stampin’ Up! Eastern Beauty for Christmas!

Posted on May 27, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I created another Eastern Beauty Circle Fancy Fold card; this time for Christmas! There are two dies in the Eastern Medallions Thinets that work together perfectly to create a poinsettia! This is one of the few cards I've ever made without a greeting visible at first glance. I normally like my cards to "speak" to you from the front, but this poinsettia is just so gorgeous, it speaks on its' own!

I used the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers again, adding a Gold Faceted Gem to the poinsettia center.

To add more gold shine, I added an identical layer behind the Cherry Cobbler poinsettia cut from a Gold Foil Sheet!

I used Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers with Cherry Cobbler stamping to complete the almost "Scandinavian Christmas" look! Each package of Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers has TWO sheets of TWO different designs for a total of 4 sheets and LOTS of stickers.

There's no end to the combinations you can make with all of the images in the Eastern Beauty set!

Happy Friday Stampers!

I had planned to show you the Poppin' Pastels technique today, but I've gotten progressively sicker all week with this head & chest cold, so my energy level has been pretty zero for the past couple of days. I just didn't have the gumption to work on taking the pictures needed to show you this technique, so I had to shelve that idea until next week. I've even had to reschedule a workshop this week because I was too sick and contagious, so you know it's really been bad. I think I've actually plateaued today, not better, but not worse, so I hope I start improving tomorrow. But fortunately for all of us, I received my May swap package in the mail today, so I have some good cards to show you!

Remember when I showed you my swap:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

I did change it a bit to make 21 of them. I used the "Friendly Words" jumbo wheel on the base of the card instead of the En Francais Background to speed up the process.

When I opened my package, I found that two other gals had thought of the same "fancy fold" to use for their swaps too! This one is by Jan Rodrian:

Kathy Morgan used the same fold for her "Motorcycle" card! She also coated the fenders and gas tank with Crystal Effects, which gives the red a glossy, intense look!

Diane Tritz created this "stairstep" card with "Elements of Style"! Black & White is so elegant and classy!

Another stair-step by Nancy Hall with Tropical Party, Birthday Block, Party Hearty, and Island Oasis Designer Paper:

And a modified "stair-step" with Tropical Party and the "Happy Grad" stamp by Raedeen Shibata:

This swap came with no name, but it's a fun fold called a "spring card"!

Here's a cute little "grass skirt" card by Kelly Acheson. (Hi Kelly!) Kelly was one of my evening dinner table-mates on the cruise!

and the inside:

"Tropical Party" is a very popular set, Susie Wood used it for her swap too, along with the "Square Lattice Embossing folder!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

Elaine Paget used "Elements of Style" with the Easel card fold and the "glitter windowshade" technique!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

Ruth Anne Lilley used the "Z-fold" for her "Watercolor Trio" card:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

Carla Storry created this great grilling mitt card to complement "King of the Grill"! She used Bordering Blue cardstock, one of the retiring colors:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

Beth Weinstein used "Party Hearty":

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

and the inside is an easy-peasy gift-card holder!

Cherri Gustafson created this box-top folded July 4th card:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

Which opens up, of course, "like a box" where you can write your sentiment or tuck in a treat:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

And last but not least, a cool triangle tri-fold by Jackie Ordway using "Sweet Scoops" and Island Oasis Designer paper!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

I plan to make some of these and add a pocket for a gift-card or money!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

That's all for today, stampers! Have a great weekend and I hope to see you back here on Monday, hopefully with that "poppin' pastels" tutorial!

Have a Stampin' Rox! weekend!
