Hello!
I have been making birthday cards. Four of my five grandkids have birthdays in May, June and July. I bet between graduation and Memorial Day parties you have been busy too! Well, I finally got a chance to sit and play in my happy place. Today’s card uses three new products: the Summer Splash In-Color, the Petunia Pop In-Color, the Saying Hey Stamp Set and the new, HUGE embossing folder, Dotted Circles. I’d love to show you what I did with them!
I used Summer Splash Cardstock for my base and and Summer Splash Ink for the sentiment. The Basic White Cardstock was embossed with the Dotted Circles Embossing Folder. I placed the piece in the upper right part of the folder. This folder makes nice big impressions!
I then took a Blender Brush inked in Petunia Pop and highlighted the dots, darker at the top to lighter at the bottom. The sentiments were inked and fussy cut. You can’t tell from the photo, but the “hey” has Wink of Stella for some sparkle.
This card took no time at all to create. Great for those parties you forgot you had!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello,
When I first saw the Wildly Flowering Suite Collection in the new catalog, I immediately fell in love with the paper. Yes, I must confess I am a paper addict. I went ahead and ordered the whole suite though, because I could, right? Let me tell you, those stamps are as sweet as sweet can be!
I decided to play along with Freshly Made Sketches today in order to show them off. Below is my inspiration and my card:
Would you like the details? Here they are!
Have fun creating today!

Hello!
When Spring comes, I start dreaming about a backyard garden. I lovingly look through catalogs and purchase beautiful plants. After planting, reality sets in. Weeding……watering……and more weeding. My dream turns into a nightmare!
This year will be different. While I’m still planting things, I’m not planting the quantity that I have in years past. I’m also planting more perennials so there will be even less to do next year.
What am I going to do in my spare time? Make beautiful cards using all of the floral images in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog! Today I have a card for you that features the Thoughtful Journey Suite. The Thoughtful Wishes Bundle in the suite includes stamps and dies that are beautiful and versatile.

Hi!
One of the many things about retirement is spending more time with the grandkids. Hailey loves to craft and make cards so I rely on Stampin’ Ups! Online Kits a great deal. We recently made up the Frog and Friends Kit. This kit makes adorable animals that you use for a catching game. There is a shark, fish and frog. The kit makes 3 of each character.
Hailey is eight. This kit is perfect for kiddos that are that age or older. She loves playing this game! Here’s Hailey wearing her best fish face!
This kit is a must have if you have kids in your family! I guarantee a good time!
Hugs!
Robin
P.S. Can you please forward this to any crafty friends you have? I’m trying to grow my audience. Thanks!
Oct 18, 2023 | Autumn Leaves Bundle, Mini Catalog Sept.-Dec. 2023, Uncategorized |
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! Don’t you just love this time of year when all the leaves begin to change and fall?! We do, and we are excited to share our creations. 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 live in Pennsylvania which has spectacular views of the changing leaves. Many people, including myself, love to go leaf peeping. I hope you like peeping at my leaf card.
Aren’t those leaves gorgeous? I covered my leaves with Gilded Leafing. It’s a bit messy, but so worth it!
Here are the details:
Materials List
Autumn Leaves Bundle 162179
Cajun Craze Cardstock 119684 Card base and 3 3/4 in. x 6 in.
Thick White Cardstock 159229 4 in.x 6 in.
Gorgeous Gingham Designer Series Paper 163170 4 in. x 5 1/4 in.
Adhesive Sheet 152334 3 3/4 in. x 6 in. (2)
Gilded Leafing 154560
VersaMark Pad 102283
Gold Embossing Powder 155555
Putting it all together
* Place the 4 in. x 6 in. piece of Thick White Cardstock between the bottom and top layer of one of the adhesive sheets.
* Die cut the leaves from the Adhesive Sheet.
* Peel off the top layer of the Adhesive Sheet. Put the Gilded Leafing onto the leaves and pat down firmly. Remove the excess with a stipple brush or an old toothbrush. ( If you have a fresh manicure, you might want to wear gloves.)
* Adhere the leaves to the designer series paper by peeling off the bottom of the Adhesive Sheet.
* Peel off the top layer of the other Adhesive Sheet. Place the Cajun Craze Cardstock between the layers of the adhesive and die cut the leaf veins.
* Adhere the leaf veins to the leaves.
* Die cut the sentiment piece out of Thick Whisper White. Stamp the sentiment in VersaMark, sprinkle with the gold powder, and heat with the heat tool until shiny. Adhere to the designer series paper.
* Finally, adhere the finished card front to the card base.
That’s it! I really had fun playing with the Gilded Leafing! I hope you give it a try.
