Welcome to InKing Royalty’s November 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 pretty packages and beautiful tags to inspire your holiday gift-giving. 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 it comes to the holidays, I’m all about quick and easy! My project fits the bill perfectly. Take a look:

I always have white gift bags on hand so I pulled out one of those. I trimmed a 12 x 12 sheet of Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper to fit and adhered it to the bag front.
I cut the tag using a die from the Seasonal Labels Dies out of another piece from the designers series pack. I also cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock using the same die and adhered the 2 together for strength and so I’d have a place to write on the back.
The bow is made from white tulle and strips of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and some silver retired ribbon I had in my ribbon stash.
That’s it! Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Lynn Kolcun at Avery’s Owlery. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
Hugs!

Aug 18, 2021 | Beauty of the Earth Suite, Beauty of the Earth Suite, Occasions, Thinking of You |

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

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

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!
