As we continue to open our hearts throughout this Advent Season, let our Joy be bigger than our Fear so that our response is to follow the example of obedience and service established by Jesus and His mother. It was Mary’s willingness to accept GOD’s plan that brought so much Joy into the world. Her kindness and service to Elizabeth reveals how very much Mary is aware of GOD’s presence in her life.
So these coming weeks, as we focus on the Lord Jesus’ presence with us, let us open our heart to be called to bring the Lord Jesus to others. Who in your life needs to be visited, who could benefit from a kind word or a gentle smile?
Our caring and compassionate deeds do make a positive impact on others and is a simply way to remind our friends, family, neighbors, even strangers that they are valued and blessed by GOD.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December 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 are all about party fun – festive gatherings like New Year’s, birthdays and other fun times. How fun! 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.
Today I am excited to share a super simple Happy New Year card using the Gold/Rose Gold Specialty Paper. This paper pack is perfect for that added sparkle on all your holiday cards.
I began with a Very Vanilla card base and keeping with my them of simple but elegant, added an embossed layer of trees (Evergreen Forest folder) in Very Vanilla CS.
I then used the Gold/Rose Gold Specialty paper and cut Happy New Year with the Word Wishes Dies (pg. 166 AC). I used a small hole punch to create the added bling from the remains of my cut outs. This paper is so gorgeous I just did not want to waste any of it.
For the inside of my card I stamped the greeting from Heartfelt Wishes using Cinnamon Cider Ink and added some more homemade bling!
I do wish Stampin’ Up! had a Gold ink pad, as the Cinnamon Cider does not match perfectly, but it is close. I could have heat embossed the greeting with VersaMark ink and our Gold Embossing powder, but then it would not be a super simple card. LOL
I hope you enjoyed today’s post and will hop along to our next stop at Avery’s Owlery with Lynn Kolcun. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
Have a Blessed Christmas and a Very Happy New Year! And before you leave please help me in wishing my upline and amazing leader, Brian King, a very Happy Birthday-with a sneak peek at the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle!
Happy Birthday Brian!!! Rain Boot Bundle coming January 4, 2022!

Thank you for hopping along with us. If you get stuck during the Blog Hop, please use this line-up as a guide:
Today’s card is just plain fun. I used strips of designer series paper from Sweet Stockings and a few Cherry Cobbler stars from the Stitched Star Dies and a greeting from Holly Jolly Wishes.
What a super easy and fun card to create for the holidays. This is was Sara Douglas calls a 4 step card. Here are the four steps.
Cardstock
Stamps
Designer Series Paper
Accessories
My accessories may be a little stepped up as I created the bling using the Stitched Star dies, so perhaps this is a 4½ step card! LOL I began with a Cherry Cobbler card base and added 4 strips of the Sweet Stocking Designer Series Paper that measure 1 x 3¼.
The greeting is from Holly Jolly Wishes, stamped on Basic White cardstock in Cherry Cobbler and cut out using one of the labels from Seasonal Labels Dies. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach greeting label to the card front.
There are only 10 days until Christmas, so go ahead and get your Jingle on! Happy Stamping!

Today I am so excited to share a super easy and fun shaker card using a clear envelope. You can get a pack of 50 envelopes for only $6, #102619 on page 136 in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.
During this Advent Season we continue to hear from John the Baptist and his message is simple, conversion. It is a loud and boastful call for us to evaluate what is important in our lives and perhaps, change our direction. What is it that keeps us from living authentic lives, the life Christ has called us to live?
This gospel is also a call for evangelization. How well do I share my faith with others? Of course not everyone will listen, but my friends the love of Christ and His Mercy is so powerful, I do not want you to miss out on living a life of being loved unconditionally by our Savior.
So, this Advent Season I pray we can all lay down our brokenness and our burdens and put on the face of Christ, so that we can be empty and little allowing the Holy Spirit to fill us and bless us with the fire of His love.

I don’t know why but this time of the year, I seem to be drawn to pinecones and trees and of course all things snowmen. I am loving the Christmas to Remember Bundle. I told myself that I have enough pinecones, but of course I did not listen and so today I bring to you two favorites, pinecones and glittery backgrounds.
The greeting is from the Christmas to Remember stamp set and the background is some of the dies from the Christmas Pinecone Dies. You can save 10% when you bundle the set and the dies, #156806, I just love the greetings in this set and I stepped up the background a bit by using the Gold/Rose Gold Specialty paper featured in the July -December mini catalog.
Supplies
Cherry Cobbler CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base)
Very Vanilla CS-2½ x 3½
Gold/Rose Gold Specialty DSP- 6×6
Early Espresso CS-3 x4
Christmas to Remember Bundle
Seasonal Label Dies
Cherry Cobbler Ink
Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Directions
Score card base in landscape position (aka longer side) at 4¼. Fold and burnish to create card.
Use the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss to crop background die with the Gold/Rose Gold Specialty Paper. Attach to card front. I used Liquid Glue, but you can also use the Adhesive Sheets, just apply the sheet to the cardstock before running it through the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine.
Next crop the outline die for the pinecones using Early Espresso CS.
Stamp the greeting in Cherry Cobbler on Very Vanilla panel and crop with coordinating die from the Seasonal Label Dies.
Add 4 x 5¼ panel of Very Vanilla to the inside and decorate as desired.
Both of these Christmas Bundles coordinate with each other and when you order these bundles, you save 10%. I hope you have a great day and create something beautiful to share with someone special in your life. Happy Stamping!!!!
