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!
