My card today features the new Sun Prints 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and the Sunflowers dies. I love this new paper pack and am sure you will be seeing more of it in the future.
I began my card with a Night of Navy card base and added a 4 x 5 1/2 layer of Basic White CS to the card front. I cut a piece of Sun Prints Designer Series paper and mounted it to a Night of Navy panel and added it to the card front.
Use the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and some Basic Black CS to crop the detailed sunflower from the die set and add it to the card front. Stamp your desired greeting on the front with Night of Navy ink and your card is complete. I love how simple and sweet this card turned out.

One of my favorite colors in the annual catalog is Blackberry Bliss. I love how it perfectly pairs with Old Olive in today’s card featuring Dahlia Days and Lovely You. I am sure this card layout would look great with a variety of colors. If you want to add the Dahlia Days Bundle to your stamping stash, be sure to do that soon as it will retiring next month.
This card layout was created by cutting off @ 1¼” from the right side of the card front. This allows the Basic White CS panel from the inside to show. Have fun playing around with this layout and let me know what you create.

Be sure when you are adding the greeting panel that you only put glue on the left side! I left my greeting panel plain, but you could use a Blending Brush or a Sponge Dauber to add a bit of Blackberry color on the edges.

Today I am excited to share with you another new 3-D embossing folder featured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog, Elegant Eucalyptus.
This is a two pack of mini embossing folders that is just perfect for the mini Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine. Not only is this little machine cute, it is super convenient to use on your desk top when crafting.
I embossed a piece of Night of Navy cardstock with the floral spay image and used a sponge dauber to gently add some White Craft ink to the embossed image. I corner rounded the edges and layered it to my card front.
The greeting is from Lovely you and stamped on Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink. This will be just perfect to send to my mother-in-law. I hope you enjoy this new embossing folder!

You are so going to love this amazing 3-D Embossing Folder. The detail is absolutely gorgeous. This is a super simple card where the embossing folder does all the work.
I began with a Basis Black card base and added a layer of white. I dry embossing a panel of the new In-Color Orchid Oasis cardstock using the new Painted Posies 3-D embossing folder.
When layering the words from Amazing Thanks dies I like to use the liquid glue as it gives you a little more time to position the detailed wording.

Praise be Jesus, for He will return. What a hope filled gospel we have today to remind us that in the midst of all the pain, sadness, and violence around us Jesus promises us hope. Hope that is, if we are faithful and allow Him to enter into our hearts.
He reminds us to not be afraid. Fear of failure can often rob creativity and leave us paralyzed. I am by no means a bible expert, but I do believe “Do not be afraid” or some version of it appears in the gospel at least 365 times! Wow, that is once a day. Probably because the Lord knows how quickly we fall and try to do things all on our own, but we don’t have to, which is precisely why, He sends us the Holy Spirit.
With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can understand the truth about God. Don’t be discouraged, even the apostles who walked side by side with Jesus did not fully get it. Many times the Lord had to repeat himself and tell them “Do not to be afraid”. We are no different. We too can ask Jesus to enter into our hearts to enlighten and empower us.
So today, open your hearts and allow the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ to enter in and fill you will hope and joy for the journey ahead.

One of the things I love the most about crafting is coloring. As a kid I could not wait for Santa to bring another coloring book and a new box of crayons. And to get a box of crayons with a pencil sharpener-jack pot!!! Today, I am much, much older and still love coloring. My coloring tools have grown from crayons to markers, chalk, sponges, daubers, blending brushes, colored pencils and aqua painters.
For today’s card I used Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue inks to add color with Blending Brushes. The dragonflies and greeting were stamped in Memento Black ink. I used my Paper snips to cut a dragonfly border and added a layer of Daffodil Delight that is dry embossing using the Hammered Metal embossing folder.
The photo above is the inside of my card where I added a strip of the embossed Daffodil Delight along the right side.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! Spring is just around the corner, so we are sharing Spring projects with bees and birds. We are excited to share our creations and 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.
First, could not decide if I wanted to do birds or bees and then once I decided I could not choose between the Hello Ladybug and the Honeybee Home bundles, so I decided to post them both.
For my first card, I simply turned this cute little Ladybug into a bumblebee. Unfortunately the Bumblebee cardstock and ink is retired, so I went with So Saffron. I added a panel of black that I embossed with the Hammered Metal embossing folder, yes, I know it too is retired, but you can use the new Hive 3-D embossing folder, I just have not received mine yet!
This card is pretty basic and easy to assemble. After you fold the card base in half cut off 1¼ from the card front to create the folded front image. I added some Daffodil Delight CS strips on the ladybug to create stripes and used vellum cardstock for the bee wings, then embellished it with a Matte Black Dot. I hope you enjoy creating with this adorable bundle.

My second card again began with a Basic White card base, but this time I added a piece of Daffodil Delight to the bottom and a strip of Basic Black across the middle to hide the seam. I was not sure how the black floral would like, but I love this bundle and decided to go for it. And, I kind of like it. Of course the bees are adorable, especially since they are not real. I added color to the bees using Daffodil Delight ink and a Blender Pen.
I do love this sentiment because it will be perfect to send to my mother-in-law. She continues to enjoy my card creations and may be my biggest fan! LOL
