Stampin' Up!'s Eastern Beauty Card!

Hey everyone,

Here is another card using Stampin' Up!'s amazing Eastern Palace Bundle.  It's SO VERSATILE!  Check out the photos below that show some of the MANY ways the Eastern Medallion Thinlits and Eastern Beauty stamp set can be used!

DON'T FORGET:

*You can only get the two Eastern Palace Bundles through May 31!!  June 1 all of the items will be available individually, but not bundled with the free gift!

**And, if you place a $25 or more online order with me in May with the host code:  VZE4XQ7F you will receive a FREE CLASS MAILED TO YOUR DOOR using the Eastern Palace Bundle!  I worked on the cards last night and am finishing them today.  They are so cute!  You are supposed to receive four cards, but I'm doing FIVE because it's SO VERSATILE and fun to play with!  You do not have to have the dies for the class, but you will want them!  You will need the stamp set and Dapper Denim, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, and Tranquil Tide ink pads.  Three of those come in the Starter Bundle!

Check out the two bundles here!  Remember, they come with a FREE GIFT from Stampin' Up! - and if you order online with me you get MORE FREE!!  (*Spend $50 or more and also get a free gift!)  Both end May 31!

This card is another from my #monthlycraftclass this month.  I really like how you can use the dies attached to the cardstock or not!
