Two Things-Favorite Things Friday!

1 Comment / Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Favorite Things Friday, Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / February 10, 2023

So today, I thought I would share with you two favorite things and although they are totally unrelated, they are still favorite things!

First, I am just loving the new Cane Weave embossing folder. It adds such great texture to any card. I am using it today in combination with the Two Tone Flora stamp set. My card is created with Highland Heather cardstock and the images are stamped with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape inks.

This embossing folder is featured in the new Spring mini catalog.

My second favorite thing is teaching a monthly class at my local nursing home, Mother of Good Counsel Home and here is just one of the cards they will be making today. I began with a Real Red card base.

The black checked strip was created using the Buffalo Check Background stamp which is sadly now retired. Yes, it was a favorite and as you can see I am still using it. I do tend to use retired products when working with my friends from Mother of Good Counsel because we all loved our retired things and it just feels good to keep using them.

The large hearts and the greeting are current products and available in the 2022-2023 annual catalog, but don’t go looking for the small hearts, they are long gone, but you can always use the new Country Bouquet Punch.

Leave me a comment and let me know what one of your favorite toys from Stampin’ Up! Happy Stamping!

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

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.

Hearts, Hearts, Hearts-Happy Anniversary!

16 Comments / Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Blog Hop / January 18, 2023

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.

Willow Tree Anniversary

2 Comments / Anniversary & Love-Weddings / January 4, 2023

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.
