Harvest and Hope-InKing Royal October Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October 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 center around Harvest & Hope, so prepare yourself for gratitude and love in Fall-themed projects. 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.

Sorry no Weekly Wednesday video as I am taking care of my mother in law for a week or so and that means no time to film, but I am excited to share with you two cards for our blog hop today.

The first card was made by my friend Cherie who came to visit earlier this month. This is actually a card she made on our World Card Making Day Weekend. Cherie is super great at creating very intricate cards! Thanks Cherie! I will do my best to give you directions.

The second card is a super simple Thanksgiving card that I created using the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack.

I began with a Cajun Craze card base and used Cajun Craze Ink for the Happy Thanksgiving greeting. The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set. I am telling you this crazy little set is so stinkin’ versatile!

  1. Love how you have the beautiful DSP doing all the work. I love that paper so versatile. Lovely card

  2. Karen Szczepkowski

    Love the layers on your first card. So beautiful! I like the second card for its simplicity. Perfect!

  3. Both cards are just gorgeous. I tend to be a simple stamper so card 2 is definitely more my style. I do love #1 as well though!

  4. Deborah Hutchings

    Your 1st card, what a fun way to use the cork paper for a background. Love all the layers & texture. 2nd card, beautiful easy & colorful.

  5. Cherie’s card is soft, earthy perfection. Love the details. Love the simplicity of your Thanksgiving card. Sometimes the DSP is all you need for a stunner. I’m looking forward to playing with some DSP I just received.

    1. Thanks….I too love that ribbon and the cork paper is amazing. MIL is all good, just has some memory issues and cannot be left alone. Such is life. If I lose my memory, I hope I will still remember how to stamp. LOL

  6. So beautiful! I love all of the colors you’ve used (the paper on the second card is one of my all-time favorites), and I love how soft and sweet the first card is. ♥

    1. Thanks Lynn. My MIL is great, she just has some memory issues and cannot be left alone. Before COVID she was living with us part-time, now we just have to settle for a week or so together whenever we can. It’s all good, thanks for the well wishes!

  7. I love the layers of Cheri’s card. And the pretty simplicity of your Thanksgiving card. Both are wonderful.
