If you like combining and layering stamped images, then you'll love the Eastern Beauty stamp set and Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies in the just released Eastern Palace Premier Bundle. I really enjoy using the Eastern Medallions dies as they have detailed nesting pieces to use individually or together for frames, medallions and peek-through windows. Some even have partial cuts for more layering options. Take the die-cut on this card for example...

Mother's Day is just over two weeks away... have you created or planned something special? For the April Creative Stamping Workshops we created two projects especially for Mum. The first is a Mother's Day card in the same style as the Masculine Birthday Card I shared with you at the start of this month. It's a corner-fold or corner-flip card, which features the absolutely, fabulous Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and coordinating Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies...

For this month's thank you cards I used the Happy Celebrations stamp set and the "HAPPY" from the Celebrations Duo embossing folder set. The colour combination of Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Sweet Sugarplum was inspired by the Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper...

Merry Christmas

I hope you're having a fabulous Easter! At my monthly workshops, I shared an idea for creating a gift box for Mother's Day, which is a Mini Egg Carton filled with pamper products. The one I showed my guests was just a prototype and wasn't decorated, but now it is! I spritzed the Mini Egg Carton with Pear Pizzazz ink and finished it with the Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper...

Have you finished your Easter creations? Not surprisingly, some of mine were made using the Mini Egg Cartons from the Occasions Catalogue. Now I have a few left over, but that's okay as these cute gift boxes are for more than just Easter eggs. I wanted to make something to celebrate a friend's recent accomplishment... enter the Mini Egg Carton decorated in black and gold with the Happy Celebrations stamp set and Celebrations Duo embossing folder...
