Thanksgiving InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects celebrate Thanksgiving, so prepare yourself for Autumn landscapes, warm colors and sweet reminders of all the reasons we have to be grateful this time of year. 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 created my Thanksgiving card using the Celebrate Sunflowers set and the greeting from the Gather Together set featured in the August-December mini catalog. I used the Plaid Tiding Designer Series Paper, but I have to admit even though the suggested color is Cherry Cobbler, I actually preferred the Merry Merlot card base.

I layered a piece of Very Vanilla 4x 5 1/4 on top of the Merry Merlot and added a piece strip of the Plaid Tidings 2 x 5 1/4 to the bottom. I added a small strip of Bumblebee cardstock and colored my sunflowers with our Stampin’ Blends! As a final touch I added three Metallic Gold Pearls.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Celebrating Friends

I absolutely love the Flowers for All Seasons Designer Series Paper. It has such a great variety of flowers. I want to give a shout out to my good friend Sally Nusbaum for this card design. Sally designed this for a virtual event a few months ago and I tweaked it just a bit by adding a little bling and changing up the sentiment, but I just love the new In-colors Sally used. The Bumble Bee and the Just Jade go so well together. Thanks Sally-you’re the best!

Forever Fern-Forever Friendships!

This is a perfect fall and friendship card to send to that someone who may need a little sunshine in their day and I know just the person I am going to send it to. I created the background using a piece of Whisper White cardstock cut at 3 3/4 x 5 and stamped some of the images from this set. I love the way it turned out because our Stampin’ UP! colors blend so well together. It may not look like it but I just used two inks, Shaded Spruce and Pear Pizzazz. To create the lighter images, I stamped off first. The card base is Pear Pizzazz with a layer of Shaded Spruce (4 x 5 1/4).

The faux ribbon is actually a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock (3/4 x 5). I sponged around the saying with some Shaded Spruce ink and of course added some rhinestones for a little bling! If you don’t want to make your own Designer Series Paper, the Forever Greenery paper is on sale thought the end of October. I hope you enjoy this fun fall card and create one to make someone smile today. Stamping Hugs and Blessings!

Sunday Wisdom 2

As we continue to find our new normal in this world let us always remember to reach out to others in compassion. We must never forget to show ourselves love and compassion as well. We all make mistakes! After all as I used to remind my children, if you don’t make at least 10 mistakes a day you are not doing anything. Life is all about taking risks and learning to live with a compassionate and forgiving heart! Peace my friends!

Connecting with the talents of others!

This card post was made possible because of the talents of a fellow Stamping demonstrator Michelle Laliberte Quinno. I just love being a part of a team who has so many gifts to share. After all crafting is all about copying and sharing the gifts of others. I hope that Michelle inspires you as well. Check out this and other cards featured in the Plaid Tidings Card Kit to Go.

If you do not already have the Celebrate Sunflowers, now is a good time to add it to your collection of stamps. Don’t forget the paper is only on sale for a few more weeks.

This is Michelle’s original design. Thanks Michelle for sharing you are so talented!
