Although I am a few years away from retirement, I know it will be my favorite thing because then I will be able to craft all day and work won’t get in the way. LOL Well, perhaps I will still need to spend time cleaning and doing laundry, but I am sure I will have more time for crafting! I hope!!
Today’s retirement card is a clean and simple card created using the Nature’ Prints and Gone Fishing stamp sets! I decided just to use one color for a simple monochromatic look. I choose Mossy Meadow.
I think this card would look great with Afternoon Azure and Gorgeous Grape as well. I guess I was going for a more masculine look, so I used the card green……oh Blackberry Bliss would be another great choice. Maybe next time! LOL Happy Stamping!

Sometimes you just need a flower pick me up and the Two Tone Flora stamp set is a perfect way to chase the blues away. This fun card was created using Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss ink. I stamped off for a second generation lighter image with the solid flower image with Blackberry Bliss ink. The detailed stamp in this two-step stamp set was inked and stamped with full juice!
The Mossy Meadow and the Blackberry Bliss combo gives a very elegant look, but every time I stamp with this set I am amazed at how great these florals look in all color combos. Try a few combos in both light and dark colors, I know you will not be disappointed. Happy Stampin’!

Today is one of those hot summer days that is perfect for sharing a an ice cream sundae. My card today was create using the Share a Milkshake bundle in the annual catalog. Growing up, we moved around a lot and I only remember the ice cream truck coming around when we lived in Springfield, Illinois, but I will always remember sharing a hot fudge sundae with my grandpa. It did not matter where we lived, I loved visiting him every summer!
Fun fact that is no secret in my family, my grandpa loved sweets, so it did not even have to be hot outside for us to share a sundae together. So no matter what the weather is like in your neighborhood today, go ahead and enjoy a sundae anyway! Happy Stamping!

Hello my stamping friends, today I am happy to share some In-Color cards created by my friend and fellow demonstrator, Sally Nusbaum. Sally created these cards for a demonstrator only event in July. It was a lot of fun gathering with friends. Join my team and you too will be invited to our next event. Be sure to watch the end of the video for a special card I created using the scraps of In-Color Designer Series paper from Sally’s card creations!
I did not think all of these colors would go together, but once I finished the card, I was surprised at how well it turned out. Of course you can use other patterned paper scraps, so the next time you have some scrap I hope this card will help you to get those creative juices flowing!

Today’s gospel is all about how the good and evil of our world must exist together until the end of time. If you know anything about farming I am sure today’s parable makes sense to you. Pulling weeds can also damage the good crop, but in this parable the Lord is also showing His mercy. As Christians, we strive to be the wheat, but let’s face it, sometimes we fall short and unfortunately represent the weeds. No, we are not intrinsically evil, but God reminds us that we are not perfect, and that we need His Mercy, which is life-giving and endless. This gives us hope because we too can change and become part of a richer soil that bears much fruit.
So as we continue to lift each other up in prayer, let us remain humble, filled with gratitude, and always in awe of the Mercy of our God.

We are having fun again today with the new Earthen Textures Bundle features in the 2023-2024. Today I created a simple thank you card using a Cajun Craze and Old Olive. This super simple card goes together is less than 5 minutes and that surely is a favorite to celebrate this Friday! #supersimplecards
If you follow my blog or come to any of my in-person classes then you know that I love to fussy cut. Even though I enjoy a good fussy cut card, I much prefer a super simple card that goes together quickly. I hope you enjoy today’s creation!
I began with a Cajun Craze card base and added a layer of Basic White. I cut my white card panel at 3 ½ x 3 ½ x 4 ¾ and stamped the fern/wheat looking stamp with Old Olive ink several times and then a few at the bottom with Cajun Craze. I also stamped the twig looking stamp and the greeting with Cajun Craze. The greeting is from Layering Leaves.
The greeting is stamped on a separate white panel and mounted on a 1 x 4 ¾ piece of Cajun Craze. I simply layered the greeting to the bottom of the white panel w/my stamped images and attached to the card front. Simple Simon!
If you have not had a chance to add this amazing and very versatile bundle to your stamping stash, I would do it soon. It is quickly becoming one of the most popular bundles and you want to get yours while supplies last. Happy Stamping!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! We are embracing some (or all) of Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful blues for today’s hop – there are so many great ways to showcase the blues in the current color families! We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them!
Again, today we are all about the blues…..not the down in the dump kind, but Stampin’ Up! blues of course! I wonder what your favorite Stampin’ Up! blue is. It know it is super hard to choose, but I think my all time favorite has to be Blueberry Bushel, I am so glad it has returned to our main color line! I think Night of Navy is my next favorite blue. Let me know in the comments your favorite Stampin’ Up! blues. 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 started with a Balmy Blue card base and added a layer of Blueberry Bushel cardstock. The fish are stamped with Memento Black and Blueberry Bushel ink. I used the coordinating dies to crop my fish and arranged them on the card front. *Be sure your watercolor panel is completely dry before adding the greeting.
I created the water using a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Watercolor paper and using the water painters added some Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel ink. I used a generous amount of water with the painters and used the heating tool to dry the watercolor paper before assembling my card.
I stamped in Balmy Blue for solid and Memento Black for the outline of my fish hook. Of course after stamping and getting it to line up perfectly on the first try, I realized my hook is upside down! LOL Oh well, after all it is a homemade card and it has been a minute since I have gone fishing!!!!
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will hop along to the next stop on our blog hop with Sue Jackson at Just Peachy Stamping! There is a lot of inspiration to be found in this group-and you don’t want to miss it! Happy Stamping!
