Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! This is a great time of year to build your stash of handmade birthday cards, so we are sharing birthday-themed projects with you today. 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.

I’ve been busier than usual this month so my card is quick, simple, and easy to reproduce.  I made my card using the Blessings of Home Bundle and the coordinating Heart & Home Memories & Home Card Pack.  The card bases and envelopes are versatile enough for guy or gal cards.

Supplies
Card Base and Envelope-These cards are a bit larger than an A2 card. 
White Frayed Ribbon
Misty Moonlight Cardstock and Ink Pad
Basic White Cardstock
Classic Matte Dots
Harvest Dies
VersaMark Ink Pad
White embossing powder
Heat tool
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.
6.  Die cut the sentiment using the die from the Harvest Dies.
7.  Adhere to the card front.
8.  Embellish the finished card front with a sprinkling of Classic Matte Dots.

Sale-A-Bration fun for InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Jan 19, 2022 | Sale-A-Bration January-February 2022, Uncategorized | 13 comments

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s January Blog Hop! We are having so much fun with our new Sale-a-Bration products and are excited to share some of that fun with you today. This month’s projects feature papers or stamp sets (or both!) from Stampin’ Up!’s January – February 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. 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, Joanne Whittington at The Inky Dragon.

I chose the Driving By Stamp Set for my Sale-A-Bration pick today.  With the Stamparatus, this card could easily be made by a beginning crafter. Here’s my card:

I just love the van!  It gave off a 60’s vibe so I went with it.

1.  Start with a Pool Party card base.
2.  Using the Stamparatus and the Spiral Dye Stamp, stamp the background on a 3 3/4 in x
      5 in. piece of Basic White Cardstock.  I used Magenta Madness Ink. 
      I stamped off on a scrap piece of paper then stamped the cardstock.
3.  Stamp the van using Tuxedo Memento Ink.  Color the van using Pool Party, 
     Smokey Slate and Basic Black Stampin’ Blends. Draw the “peace symbol” with a
     Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker.
4.  Fussy cut the van and pop it in the middle of the card with Dimensionals.
5.  Stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Memento Ink and cut it up the middle.
     Adhere it to the card so that it resembles a “road” for the van to drive on.
6.  Lastly, give it a little sparkle by adding 3 Polished Pink Jewels from the 2021-2023 
     In Color Jewels.

I hope you enjoyed my project today!  Please continue on your hopping way.  If you get lost, the links are below.

Pretty Packages and Tags for InKing Royalty Hop

Nov 17, 2021 | 2021 July-December Mini Catalog, Peaceful Place Specialty DSP, Uncategorized | 7 comments

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!

Leaves and Trees for the August InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Aug 18, 2021 | Beauty of the Earth Suite, Beauty of the Earth Suite, Occasions, Thinking of You | 10 comments

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:

  1.  The card base is Merry Merlot with a window cut from the front.  A window sheet is adhered behind the window.
  2. 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!
  3. Adhere the DSP to the inside panel.
  4. 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.
  5. I used my glue pen again to add glue to foliage part of the tree.  I then repeated the Gilded Leafing process.  So pretty!
  6. I die cut the tree trunk and foliage.  I adhered the 2 tree pieces together and added them to the front of the card.
  7. 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.

  1.  I repeated the tree stamping process on this tree but used the smaller foliage pieces included in the stamp set.
  2. 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!

Here Come the Balloons for February InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Feb 17, 2021 | Blog Hops, Playful Pets Suite, Playful Pets Suite | 22 comments

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February 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 balloons, so you are in for a celebratory treat. 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 features the Playful Pets Suite found on page 40 of the Annual Catalog.  Those of you that are familiar with this suite are going to say,” Hmmmm, I don’t remember balloons in that suite.”  You would be correct.  There are no balloons, but there is a big ‘ole dog that is just dying for some balloons to hold!  Here’s my card:

Isn’t he adorable?  Here are the details:
*Start with a Thick Basic White card base
*Add a piece of Real Red measuring 4 x 5 1/4 in.
*Add the DSP measuring 3 3/4 x 5 in.
*Use the Balloon Bouquet Punch to punch out one balloon from the Playful Pets DSP and another from
the Regals DSP Pack.
*Glue a piece of the twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack to the back of each balloon with Tombo Multipurpose Liquid Glue
*Glue the small balloon to the DSP panel.  Pop up the large balloon using Stampin’ Dimensionals
*Fussy Cut the dog from the DSP and pop him up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Make sure you adhere the balloon strings with a glue dot and situate your dog so that his paw is “holding” the balloons.
*Stamp the sentiment from the Pampered Pets stamp set on a 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 in. piece of Basic White cardstock with Real Red ink.  Die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly die.  Adhere to the panel.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Pam Morris at https://taptapstamp.blog/febroyalhop  There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
