Trash to Treasure with the Eastern Palace Bundle

I'm having so much fun with this bundle. In the coming week, I will have some samples with a more traditional use of this set, but right now I want to show you some fun I had this morning. Unless noted, all products Stampin' Up!

Many times when I am watercoloring, whether it be traditional or my #foolproofwatercolor technique, I end up with backgrounds or pieces I wasn't entirely happy with for the project I was working on at the time. I always save them. If you follow my blog, you will recognize the backgrounds below. You can see the original projects here, here & here. 

I used an image from the Eastern Beauty stamp set for the wide, embossed border. I know what you are thinking...there aren't any stamps in that set with a wide border. Yes there is. All you have to do is turn the stamp upside down on the block, basically stamping with the portion that normally adheres to the block! You can almost use the stamp as a "view finder" to figure out what areas you want to use. 

After the image was heat embossed, I used the matching die to cut it out. Once I knew how I wanted the layout to look, these were very easy cards to complete. All of the medallions were popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I know how hard it is to wait for the new Stampin' Up! catalog to be released in June so you can order the all the new goodies. That's why I was so excited to find out that all of us, EVEN YOU can order new items early!
