Flowers-InKing Royalty March Blog Hop!

InKing Royalty!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! Despite the occasional cold spell or snowfall in some areas, we are well into Spring – and we are ready for the flowers to bloom. We are excited to share our flower-filled creations with you 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.

For today’s card, I decided to dress up a panel of our Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper. The flowers and clouds were just too perfect to pass up. Sometimes I like to challenge myself to use the edges of our Designer Series paper so nothing goes to waste. The turtle and the fox on the edges were already half cut off on the 12 x 12 sheet, so I just added them to the side of my card, so these adorable critters would not be forgotten.

Yes, I do love me some paper that I can fussy cut, so I grabbed my Paper Snips and went to town. I really do like this paper pack. It is so fun and bright, perfect for a springtime birthday.

#blessedbycards

Okay, so I could not resist this stinkin’ cute rabbit, or a good fussy cut, so I created a second card to share with you, using the same Rain or Shine 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper pack. You will find this paper on page 51 in the mini January – April 2023 catalog.

#blessedbycards

This cards is essentially the same as the first one, I just used the rabbit instead of the turtle and the fox. I also did not add the layer of white behind the Designer Series Paper. The birthday greeting from both cards is from the Peaceful Moments set featured in the 2023 annual catalog. Happy Stamping!

I hope you hop along to the next stop on the blog hop at Just Peachy Stamping with Sue Jackson!

Hope Anchors the Soul

I believe that everyone needs a little hope now and then. The Hope and Prayer stamp set featured in the 2023 Annual catalog is perfect for sending a little hope in the mail. I hope my card today brings a ray of hope to you today. I am a firm believer that there is always room for hope, so if you are having one of those days, I hope my card cheers you up just a bit.

#blessedbycards

I began with a Basic White cardstock and added a layer of Sun Prints Designer Series paper. The first layer measures 4 x 5 -1/4 and the smaller layer measures 2-1/2 x 4 and is backed with a 2-5/8 x 4-1/8 panel of Basic White cardstock. The greeting is stamped in Night of Navy on a Basic White panel (1-3/4 x 2-3/4).

Celebrating Friends-Favorite things Friday!

Hello all, it is so hard to believe it is already Friday. The weeks seem to be going faster and faster, unlike when I was a kid in school and could not wait for the weekend. LOL It is time again for one of my favorite monthly outings, a visit with my friends at Mother of Good Counsel Home. I love sharing my love for making cards with the residents. They are such a lovely group. I typically have about 10 people join in the fun. I know they will love the cards and I hope you do too.

Here is a close look at the three cards we will be making!

#blessedbycards

This card was created with the Rejoice in Him stamp set featured in the mini catalog. I used Soft Suede and Old Olive inks. The patterned paper is not Stampin’ Up!, but the residents won’t mind.

#blessedbycards

This card was created with some retired pink cardstock, probably Pretty in Pink. I used the Uniquely Artistic set featured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog. I do believe the greeting is from a retired set, but I used Garden Green ink and that is in the catalog.

#blessedbycards

My last card was created using retired sets, Touches of Texture and Wetlands. The leaves were stamped with Old Olive and the flowers with Lovely Lipstick. I hope you have a Fantastic Friday! Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
