InKing Royalty Blog Hop~Leaves

It’s time again for another InKing Royalty’s Blog Hop with many of my team members. And our October theme is all about Leaves. Don’t you just love this time of year when all the leaves begin to change and fall?! We do, and we are excited to share our creations. 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.

This was a super easy theme for me because I love Fall! I really like winter too, especially when I don’t have to go anywhere, but there is something so majestic about Fall. Of course I could not decide on which of our fantastic Leaves sets to features, so I decided on three of my favorites.

My first card features the brand new Autumn Leaves Bundle and although I did not use the dies for this card, they are amazing! I began my card with an Early Espresso card base, added a layer of Old Olive and stamped the large leaf with Old Olive and Early Espresso ink on a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock.

The greetings is also stamped with Early Espresso ink and I used a sponge dauber to add a bit of Early Espresso around the edges and then attached it to my card front using some Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I just love those little guys.

For my second card, again I just could not decide between the Textures Bundle and the Bough punch which coordinates with the Layering Leaves stamp set. I could have used the dies from the Autumn Leaves Bundle, but did not really think they were the type of leaves for my pot.

I had a hard time with the photo showing up so I put an added layer of cardstock behind so the Very Vanilla did not blend into the background. I am sure there is an easier way, but remember I am not a professional and an expert at nothing, except being me, flawed and imperfect, but stamping everyday! LOL Photography advise is always welcome!

I began my second card with a Very Vanilla card base and added a layer of Early Espresso. I stamped the pot from Earthen Textures with Cajun Craze ink on Cajun Craze cardstock and the greeting on Vanilla. I used the Bough punch to punch leaves with Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Mossy Meadow, and Daffodil Delight.

I then layered all these leaves in the pot and attached it to the card front. I will be featuring the Autumn Leaves Bundle in my next Make It Monday video where I will share three cards using this bundle, so be sure to stop by next Monday to catch that video.

September InKing Royalty Blog Hop!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop! The leaves are changing, Halloween is around the corner, and we are playing with orange tones that are sure to get you in the mood for Fall. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! Choosing a color for our blog hop today was pretty easy since we really only have one true orange, Pumpkin Pie. I love easy!!! At the end of this post is a list of all those who have created cards for you today. Have fun hopping with us today.

I began with a Basic Black card and added a splash of Them Bones Designer Series paper. After all I could not just go with only Pumpkin Pie. I do believe there is a bit of Cajun Craze in the piece I chose. And of course the star of my show today is Pick of the Patch. Four of my pumpkins were punched with the Pick of the Patch Builder Punch and the other two were fussy cut with my handy dandy Paper Snips. If you don’t own a pair of these scissors you are totally missing out! My greeting and the smiling pumpkin face is stamped with Memento Black ink-how easy is that!

I mounted my pumpkins on a piece of Basic White cardstock and added it to a Pumpkin Pie panel and then to a Basic Black panel that I cut out using the Deckled Rectangles. Since we don’t have any Deckled Square Dies, I cut the last side of the square using a rectangle die that was one size larger than my original cut. It worked like a charm-who knew??? The green leaves are stamped with Old Olive ink and the pumpkin stems with Pecan Pie. I do have a tip on how to punch out these adorable pumpkins without wasting paper, click here for that video.

Well that is all I have my friends, orange you glad you joined us! LOL Hahahaha I just could not resist. Really I hope you enjoy all the projects on our hop today! Your next stop is with Sue Jackson at Just Peachy Stamping!

Sending Sunshine-InKing Royalty Blog hop!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop! This month’s hop projects center around a SUNSHINE theme, so I hope you are ready for some sunshine fun! 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.

Well I have to admit my friends that I was on the struggle bus with this theme. Not that I don’t enjoy sunshine or spreading joy, I just could not find a stamp set in my collection that I wanted to use. Shocking right? I decided to go with the Sending Smiles stamp set and dies to create a sunny background using our Blending Brushes and some Daffodil Delight ink. The sky was created using one or our In-Colors, Tahitian Tide.

I cut my white cardstock at 3-3/4 x5 and then added the sun and sky. Sending is cut with Basic Black and Tahitian Tide cardstock.
Yes, I cheated and used my Stamparatus to add the greeting! I am so sad we cannot sell this item anymore because it comes in so handy to get a bold image when adding a sentiment over a sponged background.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop Jan Dufour at Stamp Me Silly. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it! I hope your day is filled with sunshine. Happy Stamping and have fun!

InKing Royalty-Blog Hop Blues!

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.

Gone Fishing $49.50

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.

Here is a look at the inside of 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!

InKing Royalty Blog Hop-Go Green!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s April Blog Hop! Just in time for Spring, we are embracing some (or all) of Stampin’ Up!’s gorgeous greens for today’s hop. 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.

#blessedbycards

The star of today’s Go Green card features Granny Apple Green and Garden Green. I began with a Garden Green card base followed by a thin layer of white and an embossed layer of Granny Apple Green. I used a 3 x 3 piece of Watercolor Paper, added my green colors with a water painter and then spritzed the watercolor paper with a blast of water to get the colors to run together for a sea of green.

I allowed the watercolor paper to dry completely, actually I was impatient and used the heat tool to speed up this step. Once the 3 x 3 was dry, I added some Garden Green ink to the edges using a sponge dauber to get that darker look around the border and then attached it to a 3-1/8x 3-1/8″ piece of Garden Green. Note: Be sure to let your watercolor paper dry completely before adding color to the edges.

My Granny Apple Green layer is embossed with the Fern embossing folder and the greeting is stamped in Memento Black ink with the hello from Biggest Wishes. I added three Black Matte Dots for an added pop and adding embellishment is just plain fun!

Flowers-InKing Royalty March Blog Hop!

InKing Royalty!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! Despite the occasional cold spell or snowfall in some areas, we are well into Spring – and we are ready for the flowers to bloom. We are excited to share our flower-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.

For today’s card, I decided to dress up a panel of our Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper. The flowers and clouds were just too perfect to pass up. Sometimes I like to challenge myself to use the edges of our Designer Series paper so nothing goes to waste. The turtle and the fox on the edges were already half cut off on the 12 x 12 sheet, so I just added them to the side of my card, so these adorable critters would not be forgotten.

Yes, I do love me some paper that I can fussy cut, so I grabbed my Paper Snips and went to town. I really do like this paper pack. It is so fun and bright, perfect for a springtime birthday.

#blessedbycards

Okay, so I could not resist this stinkin’ cute rabbit, or a good fussy cut, so I created a second card to share with you, using the same Rain or Shine 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper pack. You will find this paper on page 51 in the mini January – April 2023 catalog.

#blessedbycards

This cards is essentially the same as the first one, I just used the rabbit instead of the turtle and the fox. I also did not add the layer of white behind the Designer Series Paper. The birthday greeting from both cards is from the Peaceful Moments set featured in the 2023 annual catalog. Happy Stamping!

I hope you hop along to the next stop on the blog hop at Just Peachy Stamping with Sue Jackson!

Seeing Red Circles-InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! This year’s hops are inspired by our favorite shapes and favorite colors – today’s projects showcase some of Stampin’ Up!’s amazing shades of red. 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.

Why is it that the simplest themes tend to be the most difficult? I love the color red and for some reason my mind went to circles because Valentine’s Day is over and well, I just could not do hearts. Some days I am just on the struggle bus and while it took me much longer than need be, I am happy with my results.

I started with a Basic White card base and to another layer of white measuring 4 x 5¼, I added a 1 inch strip of Poppy Parade, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler and Merry Merlot. I used liquid glue to attach each strip. Then I ran the layer through my Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine using the Metal Plate 3-D folder. I then cut the layer using my Picture This circle die.

The greetings and the flowers are from the Lovely You stamp set. I stamped everything with Real Red ink. I fussy cut the flowers using my paper snips and attached them to the small circles using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. I hope you enjoy my circles of red card creation.

I hope you have fun hopping with us to day, next stop is Stamp Me Silly with Jan Dufour. Don’t forget to leave a comment, we love hearing feedback from you!
