Diamond Shaped Lidded Box

Hello Hivers,

You all know I love making 3D projects.  I saw this cute little box on Pinterest.  The measurements were in cm so I had to do some recalculations to make it using inches.   My dear sister bought me a big box of Ferrero Rocher chocolate candies for Mother's Day.  I thanked her then laughed.  I knew that I would be making some type of box to put them in.  I used the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper along with Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, and Dapper Denim card stock.  A few small circle punches and the Eastern Beauty stamp set finished the boxes.  I decided to add a little bit of the Gold Metallic Thread to one of the boxes.  Each box holds just one of the Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

Sunflower Mother's Day

Hello Hivers,

I have a few more Mother's Day cards to share with you.  I know many people only send cards to their own Mom...but I like to send them to my friends and family, as well.

This card was made for my aunt.  It is actually one of the first cards I made using the Eastern Palace Suite of products.  Still loving the bright colors.

Happy Birthday, Sister!

Hello Hivers,

These cards were CASE'd from Pinterest.  I know I saved this as a pin and I can't find it.  Ugh!  This always happens.  I know I will see it later.

I made the card in the back for my sister.  Today is her birthday.  The cards are the same...I just reversed the colors and used different sentiments.

Enjoy Mother's Day

Hello Hivers,


I made this card for my sister-in-law on Mother's Day.  I can't say enough about the Eastern Palace Suite.  It just gives me joy.

Do you see the little dots on the blue circles?  I made that by dropping a little of the glue from the Fine Tip Glue Pen.

A Note for Mother's Day

Hello Hivers,

I wanted to try something new this year.  I wanted to make the majority of my Mother's Day cards be non-traditional.  So when you look at the front of this card...it doesn't say or look to be for Mother's Day.  But...it is!  The inside is full of wonderful Mother's Day greetings and messages of love and appreciation.

Hello Sunshine

Hello Hivers,

I am in love with today's card.  I made this card for one of my sisters on Mother's Day.  I just love all the bright colors.  The new Lemon Lime Twist is just Gorjus.

The Eastern Palace Suite is so diverse.  I am so happy that I decided to purchase this Early Release Bundle.  Stampin' Up! products can easily be mixed and matched with each other.  Like I did here with the Eastern Palace Suite along with the Sunshine Wishes thinlits.

Happy Anniversary

Hello Hivers,


Today my husband and I are celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary.  This is the card I made to give to him.  I had a lot to say so I needed a card with three panels.  I saw a tri-fold card on Pinterest and went to work with my creation.

The Eastern Palace Suite was perfect for this card...as our wedding colors were green and gold.  I used the new Thick Very Vanilla cardstock as my card base.  I also used the Number of Years stamp set along with the coordinating dies.  The Rose Wonder stamp sets along with the Layering Ovals and Bunch of Banners framelits added the finishing touches.

Forever Friends

Hello Hivers,

Don't you just love this sentiment?  I used one of the new In Colors (Fresh Fig) on this card.  I paired it with Basic Black and Very Vanilla.  I added a touch of Silver Glimmer Paper and Rhinestones for a little sparkle.

Enjoy your Friday.

Easter Palace Rainbow

Hello Hivers, 

This is one of several cards I made using the Eastern Palace Suite of products from Stampin' Up!.  I saw a card on Pinterest that used a variety of colors in behind the medallion...I had to CASE that part.  I must say, this suite has really jump started my MOJO.  I have so much to share with you all.  The colors I used on this card are:  Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Island Indigo, Very Vanilla, and Dapper Denim.
