Welcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop! Today’s Tricked Out Treats Blog Hop is filled with spooky, fun projects for Halloween. We are excited to share our creations with you today and hope these projects inspire you. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
If you’re like me, 3D paper crafting can be intimidating, but my projects today are easy peasy! Take a look at these cute treat holders.
These guys are just the right size to fit a fun size candy bar. I used Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie Cardstock along with paper from the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper to make them. I also used the new Cat Punch, Vintage Crochet Trim, and some Black Rhinestone Jewels to glam them up!
I found a really easy tutorial by Jodi Geers at Angie Leach’s site, Too Cool Stamping. Here’s the link: Halloween Treat Holders. I hope you’ll have fun making these fun projects for your trick or treaters!

Hello,
Today I have a couple of super fun cards that use the Bridge Fold. It’s an easy fold to make but looks super cool! It even folds flat for mailing! Here are the cards I made:
Both cards use the Spooky Night DSP and the Spooky Cat Stamp Set.
Directions:
- Cut a Basic Black Piece of Cardstock to measure 4 1/4 x 8 for your card base. Score at 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 5 1/2, and 6 3/4. Fold the scores so the middle section is on the bottom.
- Cut 2 strips of DSP 1 x 4. Cut another DSP piece 2 3/4 x 4. Glue the small strips on the front 2 panels and the larger on the bottom panel.
- Cut a Basic Black strip to measure 1 x 5 1/2.
- Cut a Very Vanilla strip to measure 3/4 x 5 1/4. Stamp this strip with your greeting and glue to the Basic Black strip.
- Add your chosen decorations to the strip. I used the Witch’s Hat from the stamp set and fussy cut it for the card on the left. I cut pumpkins from the DSP for the card on the right.
- Use Fast Fuse or Tear and Tape Adhesive to glue the strip to the smaller panels. Adhere the strip to the front 2 panels.
- Cut a piece of Very Vanilla measuring 2 3/4 x 4. Stamp your chosen greeting and glue it to the back of the large panel.
I hope you give this card fold a try! You won’t be disappointed!
Happy stampin’,

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop! Today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects inspired by some of our favorite Fall-themed products. What fun! Stampin’ Up!’s catalogs (both the Annual Catalog and soon-to-be-released Holiday Catalog) are filled with so many fun products for the Autumn holidays – and 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’ve chosen the beautiful stamp set, Gourd Goodness, as one of my favorite sets from the new catalog coming out September 1st. This beautiful set uses two-step stamping to produce gorgeous, realistic pumpkins, gourds, and leaves. Here’s my card. I love the way it turned out.
I chose to give my card a simple but lovely look using the Masking Technique. Here are the directions for making my card:
- Emboss the 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of Whisper White Cardstock with the largest label from the Lots of Labels Framelits Dies. Here is a close up of the embossing.
You should be able to see the framelit embossed in the picture above. I think it adds some elegance to the card. To do the embossing, you run it through your Big Shot using a Silicone Craft Sheet under the cardstock. Here’s a picture of the sandwich:
- While you’re at the Big Shot, run the die through again with the framelit centered on any color of cardstock. Keep the center for another project. You will use the outside of the piece as the mask for your card front.
- Two step stamp the pumpkin images. Stamp the solid pumpkin image again on a piece of scrap paper. Cut the scrap image out to use as a mask.
- Stamp the greeting and heat emboss.
- Apply both cut out masks to the card. Using Pear Pizzazz, sponge the bottom half of the unmasked area. Using Soft Sky, sponge the top half of the area leaving an unmasked area around the sentiment.
- Remove both masks and you’re done!
Enjoy the rest of the hop!

Hello!
While my daughter was in labor delivering my grandchild, I kept busy making baby cards. My new grandchild is a named Olivia Rose. I sent the girl card to my daughter, but I have the boy version for you to look at today.
This sweet card uses the Moon Baby Stamp Set. The background is done with the Bokeh Technique.
Here’s how I made the background.
- I watercolored my background using Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Dapper Denim inks and an Aqua Painter.
- I cut a stencil from a window sheet using different sizes of star dies and punches.
- I placed my stencil on the watercolored paper and stenciled the stars using the Whisper White Craft Ink.
It’s so easy, but makes a big impact don’t you think?
Thanks for stopping by today!
Happy stampin’

Hello!
From the moment I saw the set, Heartland, in the new annual catalog, I knew it was coming to join my stamp collection. I grew up in Iowa, and this set reminds me of home.
You can work with this set in so many ways, but today I got out my Aquapainter and watercolored the image.
Here are the details:
- I inked the image on watercolor paper with Basic Black Archival Ink.
- I colored the image using Cherry Cobbler for the barn, Always Artichoke for the trees and bushes, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz for the grass, Basic Gray for the barn roof and silo and Soft Suede for the path up to the barn.
- I used the Aquapainter and Soft Suede ink to flick droplets onto the background.
- I mounted my piece onto an Always Artichoke background. I then mounted it onto a Soft Suede card base.
I hope my card inspires you to give this great stamp set a try! You can find it on page 39 of the Annual Catalog.
Happy stampin’

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s June 2017 Blog Hop! Today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects inspired by Stampin’ Up!’s 2017-2019 In Colors – Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide. What an amazing collection of new colors! We are excited to share our creations with these new colors. 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 love that all the In Colors work so well with each other! Today I’ve combined Fresh Fig, Tranquil Tide and Powder Pink. I think that you’ll agree that this combination makes an elegant card!
Here’s my card:
Here’s the scoop:
- My card base is Fresh Fig with a layer of Tranquil Tide on top,
- My card front is stamped with the amazing Marbled Background Stamp! It’s an eye -catching stamp, but it doesn’t overpower the rest of the card. I’ve stamped it with Fresh Fig.
- My sentiment is stamped with the Label Me Pretty Stamp Set and Pretty Label Punch. You can purchase these as a bundle!
- I colored my stamp using my Fresh Fig, Tranquil Tide and Powder Pink Stampin’ Write Markers.
- To back my sentiment, I punched twice using the Pretty Label Punch in Tranquil Tide. I glued them to the top and bottom of my punched out sentiment.
- A knotted piece of the Tranquil Tide Finely Woven Ribbon finished off my card.
