Do you like versatility? That's a redundant question! We all love products that can be used in a variety of ways, that way we get more return on our investment and loads of inspirational ideas. Well... you will have seen on my Hello Card that the petalled-medallion from the Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies is a partial die-cut. What that means is that the die-cut shape is anchored to the card but it has dimension and peek-through windows. But wait, there's more! If you snip along the anchor points, the medallion comes free and you can use it on it's own too!

How's that for versatility! And that's only one of four dies in the Eastern Medallions Thinlits that create a partial die-cut, which can also be snipped out to be an element on it's own. Here's the freed petalled-medallion, layered up and adhere to the front of my Friendship Card...

For this card, I shortened the front and then delved in to the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper for a piece to go on the inside, so it shows from the front on the right hand edge...

This designer paper is a "specialty" pack. It has the traditional 12 sheets of 12" x 12" paper, however, two of those sheets are single-sided and on the front are patterns with a shiny, gold foil finish. The Very Vanilla specialty sheet with gold foil, layered petals is what I used on the edge of my Friendship Card. The second specialty sheet is Dapper Denim with irregular, gold foil lines. All other sheets are double-sided and feature gorgeous regal colours.

Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper

The images in the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Paper were designed with card-making in mind; a little smaller and really usable. The images and rich colours for this designer paper were inspired by eastern mosaic designs and peacocks - can you see that?
