Welcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop! This month’s blog hop is dedicated to leaves. As the weather begins to cool, the leaves begin to change colors and fall from the trees. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My card today uses the Spotlight Technique and the Baby Wipe Technique to show off my leaves today.
Here’s my card:
Soft Seedlings is one of my favorite stamp sets from the July-December Mini Catalog. Even though it has no coordinating dies, it’s very versatile. I’ll walk you through my process.
Materials
Soft Seedlings Stamp Set
Peaceful Moments Stamp Set
Cajun Craze Cardstock – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4, 3 1/4 x 3 1/4, 2 1/4 x 2 1/4
Basic White Cardstock – 2 pieces cut at 4 x 4 1/4 (one for the inside), 3 x 3, 2 x 2
Circle Dies
Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Mossy Meadow Reinkers
Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots
Baby Wipes
Stamping Steps
*Stamp the leaf with Cajun Craze Ink on one of the large Basic White Cardstock Pieces.
*Prepare your baby wipe stamp pad by folding a couple of wipes. Add drops of color from the reinkers onto the baby wipes. Tip: I like to set my wipes on a Silicone Craft Sheet. It’s easy to clean and gives the wipes a bit of a cushion.
*Press the leaf stamp into the baby wipes and then stamp onto the 3×3 Basic White Cardstock. Repeat the process with the sentiment, stamping on the 2 x 2 piece of Basic White.
*Die cut the 2 stamped images using the circle dies. Die cut the Cajun Craze cardstock pieces with the circle dies. Adhere the stamped images to the coordinating Cajun Craze circles.
*Adhere the finished leaf piece on top of the part of the front panel that you are “spotlighting” (covering up). Adhere the sentiment to the upper right side of the front panel. Trim the circles so they fit don’t hang over the panel.
*Adhere the finished panel to the front of the card base.
*Add 3 of the Metallic Dots to the card front.
I thought it turned out beautifully and I hope you do too! Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Candy Ford at Stamp Candy. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

Dimensionals
Tear and Tape
Stampin ‘ Cut and Emboss Machine
Process
1. Stamp the large flower stamp from the Blessings of Home Stamp Set on a piece of Misty Moonlight Cardstock with VersaMark ink.
2. Sprinkle the cardstock with white embossing powder, tap off the extra and set with the heat tool.
3. Die cut the finished piece using the coordinating die from the bundle and the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.
3. Cut a 5 1/2 in. piece of the Frayed Ribbon and attach to the card front with Tear and Tape.
4. Adhere the die cut piece using Dimensionals.
5. Stamp the sentiment on a piece of Basic White Cardstock with Misty Moonlight Ink.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature leaves and trees, so you are likely to find lots of inspiration for Autumn. 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.
My card for today features the Beauty of the Earth Suite on page 10, and the Gold Leafing on Page 143 of the Annual Catalog . The card features a Tent Fold. I learned this fold from Lisa Curcio. Here’s the link to her tutorial https://youtu.be/VL3EHNSYHag
Here’s my version:
Here’s the details:
The card base is Merry Merlot with a window cut from the front. A window sheet is adhered behind the window.
The Designer Series Paper has added flecks of Gilded Leafing. I first added dots of glue using a glue pen. Next I dipped the DSP into the Gilded Leafing. I used a stipple brush to remove the excess. It’s really fun to use but a bit messy. Those little gold flakes want to go everywhere!
Adhere the DSP to the inside panel.
I stamped the tree branch with Soft Suede ink. I 2-step stamped the foliage using Merry Merlot and Night of Navy inks, stamping off once when I stamped the Navy.
I used my glue pen again to add glue to foliage part of the tree. I then repeated the Gilded Leafing process. So pretty!
I die cut the tree trunk and foliage. I adhered the 2 tree pieces together and added them to the front of the card.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy and added it to the card front. What is usually the inside of the card is on the back of this one. Here’s what it looks like.
I repeated the tree stamping process on this tree but used the smaller foliage pieces included in the stamp set.
The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy. It’s from the Through It Together stamp set found on page 72 of the Annual Catalog.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s November Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects celebrate Christmas, which – believe it or not – is just around the corner. Please prepare yourself for lots of beautiful projects that share the joy of this holiday. 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.
There are so many beautiful bundles in this year’s August-December Mini-Catalog, but my favorite is the Poinsettia Petals Bundle. Here is my card featuring this gorgeous bundle:
Here are the details:
The poinsettia is stamped in VersaMark on Petal Pink Cardstock and then embossed with white embossing powder.
The berries are stamped in VersaMark on Mint Macaron Cardstock and then embossed with white embossing powder.
The sentiment is stamped in Soft Suede ink.
The center is three of the Wonderful Gems.
The background is done on Watercolor Paper. I saturated the top 2/3rds of the piece with my Water Painter. I then did a watercolor wash using Pool Party ink. A used my stamp pad lid as my palette. Finally, I ground sea salt over the top of it and let it dry. After drying, I wiped off the excess salt. I love the way it turned out! I hope you do too!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s June Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects celebrate the 4th of July – the projects are inspirational, patriotic and filled with reds, whites and blues. 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.
Who doesn’t enjoy a 4th of July celebration?! I have a friend who really loves the 4th because his birthday is on the same day as our country’s. He is a no fuss kind of guy, so I have made a quick and easy card for him. Here’s my card:
I chose the new stamp set, Happiest of Birthdays to take center stage on my card. The bold font hops right off of the card front!
My friend is going to like the color combo of Misty Moonlight, Whisper White and Real Red – traditional colors for this special holiday.
The Real Red background was created with the Buffalo Check background stamp. I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time getting the image of this stamp straight, even with the Stamparatus. Nothing looks worse than a crooked plaid! I also wanted the dark squares of the image around the outside. I got around it by inserting a 6 x 6 in. piece of Whisper White in the Stamparatus. I stamped the image and then trimmed to get the part of the image I wanted.
I popped up my sentiment with Dimensionals and added a couple of Star Designer Elements and that’s it! I think my friend will like his card and I hope you do too!

Until next time, Robin

My card for today was inspired by the beautiful blossoms of my flowering tree.
While not an exact match, they remind me of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card:
