Spring for me means flowers-lots and lots of flowers.  I love getting my hands dirty in the garden. I didn’t have to get dirty for the flowers I’m showing you on my card.  Instead, I’m giving you a SNEAK PEEK of a GORGEOUS flowered Designer Series Paper called Perennial Essence. This paper evokes images of Monet’s many Impressionistic flowered paintings.  Take a look:

• I kept my card simple so the paper could shine.
• There are many colors swirled together on this DSP.  I chose to focus on Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow
• Did you notice the new ribbon? It’s called Organdy Striped Ribbon.  I adhered it to a strip of Whisper White because the green from the DSP was showing through and overpowering the softness of the ribbon.
• The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings.  I stamped it in Mossy Meadow on the circle die, cut from the Stitched Labels Dies.
• To finish my card, I added some Powder Pink sequins from the Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
• ALL of the products used in my card will be in the new Annual Catalog which launches the beginning of June!

• The card base is Thick Whisper White Cardstock  measuring                       8 1/2 in. x 4 1/4 in. and is scored at 5 1/2 in.
• The shorter side of the card base is die cut using a die from the Lovely Flowers Edgelets Dies on page 5 of the Occasions Catalog.  This beautiful die cuts and embosses at the same time.  If you look closely, you can see the embossing.
• The sentiment is from the Special Celebrations Stamp Set found on page 32 of the Annual Catalog.  I stamped it in VersaMark and then heat embossed with silver embossing powder.  The matching inside sentiment is shown below.  I also embossed it in silver.

• The Mint Macaron Cardstock is 4 1/4 in. x 5 1/2 in.  I embossed it with the Tufted Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I backed it with a piece of whisper white and adhered it to the short flap to complete the card front.
• The rhinestones that finish off the card front are colored with the          Dark Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends Marker.

Inking Royalty January Hop

Jan 30, 2019 | Uncategorized | 7 comments

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s January Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around LOVE. You’re certain to see some amazing ideas for Valentine’s Day in the hop, but there are other ways to honor love in the lineup, too. What fun! 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 make a lot of Valentine’s Day cards and because I make so many, I try to keep them simple and sweet.  Today’s card is a perfect example of this card style.

• I used Crumb Cake cardstock for my base.  I added a white panel            in-between the card base and the DSP.
• The sentiment is stamped in Lovely Lipstick and features the corner dies.  Aren’t they a simple but elegant touch?
• I mounted my sentiment onto a piece of Mint Macaron.
• The little flower sequin is from the Frosted Flower Embellishments.
• A Flirty Flamingo bow is the final touch.

Batty for You!

Oct 22, 2018 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Hello!


I have the cutest Halloween card to share with you.  I made it using the Trick or Tweet Stamp Set.  It is super easy to put together too!  Here it is:

• The card base is Gorgeous Grape.  I LOVE anytime I can use purple, and this purple is luscious.
• The 4 x 5 in piece of Gorgeous Grape is stamped with the Marbled Background Stamp with Gorgeous Grape Ink.
• The bat paper is 1 1/4 in x 4 in.  It is from the Toil and Trouble DSP Paper Pack.
• The bat paper is adhered to a piece of Basic Black that measures 1 1/2 in. x 4 in.
• The elephant is from the Trick or Tweet Stamp Set.  I stamped him with Memento Ink on Whisper White Cardstock.  I colored him with the Light Smokey Slate and Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.  I then fussy cut him out.
• The moon is a piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock die cut with one of the Layering Circle Dies.
• I glued the moon to the back of the elephant and adhered them to my card using Dimensionals.
• The sentiment is also from the Trick or Tweet Stamp Set.  It’s stamped on Whisper White and punched with the Classic Label Punch.  I adhered it to the card front using Mini-Dimensionals.

InKing Royalty Halloween Hop

Oct 17, 2018 | Uncategorized | 6 comments

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs – this month’s song is “Monster Mash.” As you can guess, our Blog Hop today is filled with fun projects that are inspired by the spookiest night of the year – Halloween. 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 you today has lots of layers but very little stamping.  As you can see, I had great fun playing with the spooky papers from the Toils and Trouble Designer Series Paper Pack!

• My card base is Gorgeous Grape topped by a panel of the same color stamped with the Marbled background stamp.
• I love the bat background for the shaker part of my card!
• If you look closely, you can see that I embossed my Window Sheet with the Swirls and Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  
• The cauldron is fussy cut from the DSP and so is the banner.
• The sentiment is from the set Trick or Tweet.
• I finished my card off with a sparkly bow.
