Even if you are not sending out Valentine cards this year I know you will love this cute card I created using the Love Cats set featured in the January to April mini catalog. It would make a great Valentine, but also a great thinking of you or even anniversary card. I hope this inspires you to create something beautiful to share with others this week.

I know many of you do not like to fussy cut, but when you use the Stampin’ Up! Paper Snips, cutting out these adorable kitty’s is much easier. After all, it really is all about having the right tools. Happy Stampin’!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s January 2023 Blog Hop! If your craft projects aren’t already filled with hearts, then you might be behind the eight ball. No worries – we are here to help. We are excited to share our heart-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.
I am not a big Valentine’s Day fan! I am not really sure why, I guess it just seems like a lot of hype for one day so I decided to create an anniversary card instead. Of’ course the card I am sharing with you now is so not what was in my head. LOL. I really hate it when that happens. I totally intended on creating with the Heart Punch pack, but so it goes.
Instead of the Heart Punch Pack the star of today’s show is the Cheerful Basket Bundle from the annual catalog. I kept the idea of creating an Anniversary card but trust me, it is good that I abandoned ship. Perhaps is the coming weeks I will give the Heart Punch pack another whirl.
Happy Anniversary

I started with a Pool Party card base and added a layer of the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. My colored hearts are designed to bring out the colors in the designer series paper, so I chose Pool Party, Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape. I used my Paper Snips to cut the hearts so I could bundle the colors together. I just love the tiny little heart dies in this bundle so I sprinkled a few of those in too. The greeting is from Celebrating You.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll continue to hop along with us today for more fun and inspiration. The next stop on our hop is with Lynn Kolcun at Avery’s Owlery.

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year. It is always wonderful to spend time with family and friends. I do love the holidays and it is always hard getting back into the swing of a regular routine, so today I thought I would share an anniversary card using the Willow Tree Bundle in the annual catalog.
One of my New Year’s resolutions is to share at least three cards a month that features a stamp set or bundle from the annual catalog. I love having the holiday mini and the spring mini catalogs, but sometimes I tend to ignore all the wonderful sets in our main catalog.

Yesterday I shared with you a video on the Merriest Moments stamp set and Hybrid Embossing Folder featured in the July-December 2022 holiday catalog and today, I am sharing the card I created using just the floral cut out without the detailed embossing.

This embossing folder is quite versatile. As you can see for today’s card I simply cut out the floral image with Fresh Freesia cardstock and did not emboss the images. I did use the Stampin’ Blending Brush to add a bit of Fresh Freesia ink around the edges for added definition.
The greeting is stamped in Fresh Freesia ink using the Flowers of Friendship stamp set. This card is also featured in the video, so again if you missed that, click here! Happy Stamping!

One of my favorite things is to remember the day I said “I do” to my beloved and tomorrow is our 34th Anniversary. Spoiler alert for beloved hubby as he will probably read this post before I have a chance to give him his anniversary card. Oh well, Happy Anniversary honey!
The inspiration for my card today came from fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Peggy Murwin. I tweaked it a bit using some Starry Sky and Silver glitter cardstock. I chose these two because it reminds me of my engagement ring which is comprised of diamonds and salon sapphires. I thought the Bewitching Bundle was perfect for an October anniversary.

I also chose to make only two dancing feet and used the Basic White panel as the card front, leaving more room inside for a message. Unfortunately the Witch Hat Builder punch is no longer available, but you can easily fussy cut all the witch hats in the Bewitching set. Here is the inside of my card.

Wedding anniversaries can be such a special time to celebrate memories, no matter how old you get. When I got married many years ago, June was the most popular month to get married. Did you know that for the past four years, the most popular wedding month has been in October? Who knew I was a trend setter! My anniversary is actually October 22nd. According to our Real Weddings Study, 35% of all weddings take place during the fall, followed closely by summer (29%). Who knew?
Well, later this month my older sister is celebrating her wedding anniversary and so I am sharing her card with you today. She is not a blog follower, so chances are this will not be a spoiler alert. LOL! I used the Fond of Autumn stamp set and while it is a fall set, it is very versatile and as you can see this looks a bit more springy than fall. Love it!!

My card today was created using our Petal Pink cardstock. I cut a second layer of Petal Pink and used the scoring tool to create some line at the top and bottom of the panel. I colored the image with Stampin’ Blend Markers and then added a bit of bling to the center of each flower. The Happy Anniversary sentiment if from Celebrating you and is stamped with Memento Black ink.
Happy Anniversary to all you lovely couples who were married in the fall!

Young love and wedding ceremonies are always such fun. It doesn’t matter what time of the year and regardless of the weather, it is a happy time for beginnings. My card today is a super simple design using navy blue and white for an elegant greeting card perfect for that special couple in your life.

I used Night of Navy cardstock to cut the floral images from the dies included in the Cottage Rose Bundle. The greeting is stamped with Night of Navy ink. I did not have any Night of Navy ribbon on hand, so I used a narrow strip of Night of Navy cardstock as a substitute.

We are in the final days of the Summer SALE-a-bration event. Only 8 days left! I created a simple, yet elegant Wedding card using the FREE Silver and Gold 6×6 paper pack and the Happiness Abounds stamp set. For this monochromatic card I used the Smoky Slate ink and cardstock.
I cut a 4 x 5 ¼ piece of the silver striped designer series paper and layered it to a smoky slate card base. I saved the strip that was left from my cut for the inside of my card. I created the second smaller panel of silver dotted paper by cutting the Smoky Slate to be 3 ¼ x 4 ¼ and the dotted paper at 3 x 4, layered them together and added them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped two roses with Smoky Slate ink and cut with coordinating dies. The greeting is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on a ¾ x 3 strip of Basic White CS.
I attached the leftover strip from my first cut and layered it to the inside of my card. My sentiment is from Nature’s Prints, but the inside sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set would work perfectly as well. I really like how elegant this card turned out. Now all I need is a Wedding to go to and I will be all set.
