Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! This is a great time of year to build your stash of handmade birthday cards, so we are sharing birthday-themed projects with you today. 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.
My cards for this month’s blog hop feature the Artistically Inked Bundle in the 2021-2022 annual catalog. I had so much fun creating with this bundle, I couldn’t stop myself, so today, I am sharing all three cards with you.
I wanted to create a birthday card using the Gold and Rose Metallic Specialty Paper. You will find this hidden gem on page 135 in the 2021-2022 annual catalog.
Begin with a Very Vanilla card base. Add a 4-1/8 x 5- 3/8″ piece of Basic Black cardstock to the card front and a 4 x 5¼ piece of Gold Metallic CS. I used the Stamparatus to add the greeting in Memento Black Ink to a 3¼ x 4½ piece of Very Vanilla CS. The flower is stamped in one of our new In-colors, Polished Pink. I cropped the leaves and the center of the flower from the Gold Metallic CS.
For my second card I used the left over Gold Metallic CS to crop the leaves and create a strip across the middle of the card front.
I stamped and cropped two flowers in Very Vanilla CS and layered them together with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The bottom section of the card front was created by stamping the marble stamp image and Polished Pink ink on Very Vanilla CS.
My final card is simply stamping. I began with a Gorgeous Grape card based and stamped a variety of floral images at the top and bottom of a Basic White card panel in Gorgeous Grape Ink, Fresh Freesia, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight inks. I added the Happy Birthday greeting from Sweet Ice Cream in Memento Black Ink.

You have inspired me to pull out my Artistically Inked bundle. Cute cards.
Thanks!
I love that stamp set and what you’ve done with it!
Thanks Candy!
These cards are beautiful. I get so much inspiration from Brian’s blog hops. Enjoy your day!
Thanks Hilda, have fun creating!
I love all three of the cards! Each one has an element that I really like. The use of the left overs is fantastic and your stamping in exquisite!
Thanks Sheryl!
Lots of pretty inspiration for this set.
Thanks….
What a lovely showcase of these gorgeous flowers! You are going to be so happy to share these beauties – and they’ll love to receive them.
Thanks, I am trying to challenge myself to make at least two cards with the same set.
Beautiful birthday cards, Renae! Great colors & papers!
Thanks!
I love all of them Renea but my favorite is the second one. So pretty with the gold accents and leaves.
Thanks….this set makes it easy!
Wow! All of these are wonderful! I like the first one with its boldness! And I love that paper as a compliment.
Thanks! I really think this paper is a hidden gem, but it does not always showcase a pretty as it is in person.
