Welcome to InKing Royalty’s November Blog Hop! November is a time of gratitude and thanksgiving, and we’ve made projects that say “thanks!” to special people in our lives. 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 am thankful for where I grew up. I lived on a small farm in Iowa and spent most of my time outside exploring creeks and playing Hide and Seek in the cornfields. A favorite time for my sister and I happened after harvest was over, and the hunters would come to hunt pheasant. At the end of the day, we were gifted some of the beautiful tail feathers of the birds. Those feathers were many things. Most of the time they became magic wands. Something that simple made us so happy.
My card today showcases the beautiful pheasant in the stamp set Painted Pheasant.
I painted my pheasant using daubers with the ink colors Cajun Craze, Coastal Cabana, and Merry Merlot. The fallen leaves use the same three colors. All of the stamped images were fussy cut and adhered to the front panel. The Merry Merlot card base was embossed with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder. The center section is a piece of Distressed Gold 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is stamped in Merry Merlot on Very Vanilla Cardstock and die cut using a die from the Joyful Flurry bundle.

Sep 21, 2022 | 2022 July-December Mini Catalog, Birthday, Blog Hops, Soft Seedling Stamp Set, Uncategorized |
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!
