June InKing Royalty Blog Hop – New

Jun 19, 2019 | 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Anniversary, Blog Hops, Come Sail Away Suite, Occasions | 16 comments

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s June Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around NEW. With the launch of Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog, NEW gives us the opportunity to showcase new products and play with new colors. There are also new occasions (babies, weddings, graduations) to celebrate, so you are going to see a variety of projects in this hop. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

I am sharing a card made with the new Sailing Home Bundle. This bundle makes card design super easy! With all of the stamps, dies, DSP, and accessories the cards practically make themselves!

Here’s my card:

Here are the details:

While most of the Designer Series Paper in this bundle features shades of blue, I used a piece that is Mossy Meadow.
The card base is Soft Suede and the other neutral color is Very Vanilla.
The compass and lighthouse are stamped in Soft Suede and die cut. The die cut wheel is also done in Soft Suede.
The compass needle is die cut from a Copper Foil Sheet and attached to the compass with a brad. So fun!
The sentiment is perfect because I’m giving this card to my handsome hubby for our anniversary.
The last element is the Braided Linen Trim which I tied in a Sailor’s Knot and attached onto the back of the DSP. Super easy! Here’s a picture from Martha Stewart that shows you how to make the knot:

Remember for InKing Royalty May Blog Hop

May 22, 2019 | 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Blog Hops, Occasions, Sympathy, Woven Heirlooms Suite | 19 comments

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around REMEMBER. This word can mean different things to different people – fond memories, respectful tributes, special occasions that we’ll never forget. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

When I thought of a cardmaking look to go with the word remember, I thought of vintage. The Woven Threads Suite in the new Annual Catalog has a vintage look to it, so I’m going to give you a sneak peek. I love the suite’s distressed-look papers, old-fashioned script, and elegant images. The Woven Threads Suite also features all of the new 2019-2021 In-Colors. My card is a sympathy card. Family deaths are difficult, but are a time of remembering fond occasions spent with our loved ones.

Here’s my card:

The details:

The top and bottom papers are found in the Woven Threads DSP. The DSP with the script is from the 6X6 In-Color Designer Series Paper Pack.
The sentiment is included in the Woven Heirlooms Stamp Set and is stamped in Rococo Rose.
The ribbon is the 5/8″ Woven Threads Trim. (Tip- Pull the bottom string from the thread and the ribbon “tassles”.)
The leaf and key are from the Bird Ballad Trinkets found in the Bird Ballad Suite.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Julie Di Matteo. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

Enjoy the Hop!
