Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects celebrate Sunshine, so prepare yourself for projects that are filled with sunny images of joy in the great outdoors. 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 today features an old technique with a new bundle. The technique is the Sunburst Technique and the bundle is the NEW Birds and Branches Bundle found on page 120 in the new Annual Catalog.
Here’s my card:
Isn’t that bird and nest sweet? And, did you notice there are two new In-Colors on my card as well? Of course you did! This bundle features two-step stamping images, branches and adorable little eggs. The dies have a pretty circle cut-out perfect for layering as well as the edge die I used today.
Here are the details:
Paper measurements- Thick Whisper White Cardstock for your base, Pacific Point measuring 41/8 X 5 3/8 in., Whisper White measuring 2 1/2 X 5 1/4 in., Just Jade measuring 3/4 in. X 5 1/4 in. , BumbleBee In-Color Designer Series Paper Assortment that measures 1 3/8 X 4 and extra Whisper White for Stamping you images.
- Using 2 sheets from the DSP pack, cut 2 pieces that measure 1 3/8 X 4 in. from each sheet. Next, place them in your paper trimmer and cut on the diagonal from corner to corner.
- Gently fold Whisper White Cardstock in half to find the center. Start adhering your DSP on either side of the crease. Continue until all the pieces are glued down. (These will hang over your cardstock.) Next trim around the outside of the piece with scissors or your trimmer. Tah-Dah! You now have a sunburst!
- Adhere the finished sunburst to the Pacific Point Cardstock.
- Die cut the Just Jade piece and adhere. (This die is designed to form a decorative edge for the bottom of a card. I cut the piece and left an edge on it so I could glue it down.)
- Stamp and die cut the bird and next images and adhere.
- The Hello Sunshine sentiment is from the Under My Umbrella Stamp Set. I’m so glad this set was carried over! Stamp the sentiment with VersaMark and emboss using White Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s April Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects celebrate Springtime, so I hope you are ready for gorgeous Spring colors, flowers and butterflies – and maybe some sweet baby animals. 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 was inspired by the beautiful blossoms of my flowering tree.
While not an exact match, they remind me of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card:
I created a Center Step Card today using a tutorial by France Martin. Here’s the link to her tutorial Center Step Tutorial by France Martin
Here are the details.
- The card base is Calypso Coral and measures 4 1/2 X 11 in.
- The center panel measures 2 1/8 X 4 3/8 in.
- The 2 side panels measure 7/8 X 4 3/8 in.
- I used the middle sized circle in the Stitched Framelits Dies along with a Calypso Coral circle cut from the Layering Circles Framelits.
- The strip at the bottom measures 7/8 by 4 3/8 in.
- I used the Well Written Framelets Dies to create the sentiment.
- A Bird Ballad Trinket and an Old Olive ribbon bow finish off the card.
I put a 4 1/8 x 4 3/8 in. piece of DSP on the back so I’d have a place to jot a note and sign the card.
I hope you like my card and enjoy the rest of the hop!
Hugs, Robin

Hello!
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects celebrate birthdays, so prepare yourself for a wonderful mix of celebratory cards. 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’m crushin’ on the Tropical Oasis Suite in the Mini Catalog! I used it today to make my birthday card. Take a look:
I just love this sheet from the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper! Such fun!
Here are the details:
- The card base is Crumb Cake.
- The Mint Macaron pieces are 4 in. x 5 1/4 in. and 1 in. x 4 in.
- The DSP measures 3 7/8 x 5 1/8.
- The sentiment is from the Geared Up Garage Suite and stamped in Early Espresso. (I love it when you can incorporate more than one stamp set on a card.)
- I used 3 in. of the Braided Burlap Trim and frayed it at both ends. I put Tear & Tape on the back and adhered it to the front and back of my sentiment piece.
- I adhered one of the Tropical Oasis Trinkets to the trim with Tear & Tape.
- I popped up the sentiment piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
That’s it! I hope you enjoy this blast from the past!

Hi Everyone!
I was playing with the Tropical Oasis Suite in the new Mini Catalog. I needed some inspiration so I decided to play along with the Global Design Project challenge. Here’s my card:
And here’s the Global Design Project Sketch:
Tips and Tricks:
- The background is made by inking the Coastal Weave Embossing Folder in Crumb Cake and running it through my die cutting machine.
- I colored the palm trees with Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Markers.
- I wanted the Aloha die to stand out so I die cut it 3 times and then glued the die cuts on top of each other.
- Linen Thread and Champagne Rhinestones completed the card.
I wish I was in the tropics right now!
Hugs!
Robin

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around SPOOKY. With Halloween just around the corner, we are excited to share our spooky, fun projects with our neighbors, coworkers and family – and we’re 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 is a rare one for me. It uses no stamping! Instead, I used dies, an embossing folder and Designer Series Paper (DSP) to create my card front. Take a look:
Aren’t those spooky figures cute peeking through their windows? Here’s the details:
- My card base is Basic Black with a Smoky Slate panel.
- The Smoky Slate piece is embossed with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder.
- The windows are cut using the Layering Squares Dies. The black frames are cut from the same dies only larger.
- I snipped the characters from a sheet of DSP from the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper pack. I then glued them to the back of my gray panel.
- The sentiment is cut using the Hand-lettered Prose Dies.
- 3 Clear Epoxy Droplets add a little shine.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you will hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Kelly Kent at https://mypapercraftjourney.com/.
Happy hopping! Robin
