Flowing Flowers-InKing Royal Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! As we prepare for Spring, flowers are always on our minds. We are sharing flower-themed projects with you today 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 began my blog hop card with a 5½ x 8½ Basic Black card base and decided on Bumblebee for an accent. I simply ran a 4 x 5¼ piece of Bumblebee cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine using the Hammered Metal embossing folder, cut in on an angle and added a ½ x 5½ black strip to the back of the Bumblebee panel. I attached this accent color to a 4 x 5¼ white panel and attached to the card front. I featured the angle cut card technique in one of my Make it Monday videos a few weeks ago ,CLICK HERE if you missed that video. Join me every Monday for a new video.

The flowers are from the Flowing Flower stamp set featured on page 36 in the January – June 2022 mini catalog. I stamped the large flower twice in Bumblebee Ink on some white scrap and fussy cut using my paper snips. I stamped a few leaves in Old Olive directly to the Basic White cardstock and stamped a few more leaves to fussy cut.

I like the look of stamped and raised images on the same card and the distinctive ink stamp sets really add a more natural look. I just love the details in this floral image. Here is a closer look.

The greeting is from Flowing Flowers and the splatter is from Forever Fern. I used our Memento black ink for both the greeting and splatter, but our Black Stazon ink would be a good choice as well. Add a panel of white to the inside and decorate as desired. I hope you have fun creating with this amazing set.

Have fun hopping along with us to day! I hope our flowers of sunshine get you in the mood for Spring, after all it is only a few days away, so Happy Stamping and Happy Spring! Continue the springtime fun by hopping along to Sheryl Abernathy at Elegant Sentiments!

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

Dahlia Days -Thank you for Your Kindness

Isn’t in amazing how one random acts of kindness makes a difference. I always feel good when I create a special card and just send it out for no reason. I know there are lots of ways to show kindness, but what can I say I love making cards.

I was so sad when the Delightful Dahlias retired a few months ago, but I have to say I might love this baby dahlia bundle even more. These flowers are so sweet they make it easy to say thank you, thinking of you, or so sorry for you loss.

Today’s card begins with an Evening Evergreen card base. I added a layer of Very Vanilla cardstock and used some of our designer series paper to create an angled card. I really am loving the look of these card fronts and what a great way to use our leftover designer paper.

The flowers are stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink. I stamped the greeting in Memento Black and attached it and the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The leaves are stamped with Soft Succulent ink on Soft Succulent cardstock and cropped with the dies from the Bundle.

Project Supplies and Measurements

  • Evening Evergreen CS- 5½ x 8½ (card base)
  • Very Vanilla CS-4 x 5¼, 3 x 4  
  • Daffodil Afternoon DSP- 4¼ x 4¼ (cut on angle)
  • Soft Succulent CS: 3 x 3
  • Dahlia Days Bundle
  • Flirty Flamingo Ink
  • Memento Black Ink
  • Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive

I hope this cards inspires to you send spread a little kindness today. Happy Stamping!

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

Plentiful Plants-Happy Birthday

Today’s card was created for my daughter’s roommate, who absolutely loves plants. This is a perfect card for anyone who has a green thumb! I love plants and a well groomed yard, but I am just not good at growing things, so these plants are perfect for me.

I began with a Crumb Cake card base and added a layer of Cajun Craze that I dry embossed with the Brick and Mortar embossing folder. I stamped a few of the pots with Cajun Craze ink and a few with Shaded Spruce. I decided to add a mixture of stamped greenery and Designer Series paper images.

I used Very Vanilla for the hanging pot and added Happy Birthday in Memento Black. This is a really great bundle and while it looks really involved it did not take long to put together. You can choose your plants to be all designer series paper, all stamped images or a combo as I did in the image above. Either way, I am sure your green thumb friends will love it.

Project Supplies and Measurements

  • Crumb Cake CS- 5½ x 8½ (card base)
  • Cajun Craze CS-2 x 5½
  • Basic White CS-5½ 8½ (for planters)  
  • Very Vanilla CS-1½ x 3
  • Shaded Spruce CS- 1 x 3
  • Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper
  • Plentiful Plants Bundle
  • Cajun Craze Ink
  • Shaded Spruce Ink
  • Memento Black Ink
  • Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
  • Brick and Mortar Embossing Folder
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive or Liquid Glue

My daughter and her roommate live in Chicago and they just got hit with a ton of snow, so I am hoping this fun card filled with lots of summery greenery will be a ray of sunshine for both of them.

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Winter Snow and Sunflowers-Favorite Things friday!

Well it has been snowing here in St. Louis for the last two days. One of my favorite things is a fresh snow, shoveling, not so much. I think we accumulated at least 9 inches of snow yesterday and was out shoveling twice. Needless to say that was my exercise for the day. Today, I am hoping for sunny skies and although we are a long way off from sunflowers, we can always craft them right?

Today’s card begins with a Early Espresso card base and a little hope for sunshine. I added a piece of the Sale-a-bration DSP Afternoon Delight to the left side and dry embossed another piece of Early Espresso with the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder.

The flowers are colored with our Stampin’ Blends. The tag was created with the Double Oval punch and embellished with some linen thread. This stamp set, Jar of Flowers, is available in the 2021-2022 annual catalog. Happy Stamping!

Happy Friday-Flowing Flowers!

Yay! It is Friday. I don’t know about you, but I am glad the weekend is here! The only bad thing about having time off from work during the holidays is how hard it is to get back into the swing of things again. I love working, but I also love staying home and crafting!!!

Today’s card features the Flowing Flowers set in the January-June mini catalog. I love the details in this stamp set. While the new is great, I am still in love with so many of the stamp sets in the annual catalog, so I used an oldie but goodie to pair with the flowers. Can you guess what stamp set it is?????

I created the my own patterned paper using just one ink pad, Blackberry Bliss and a strip of Basic White CS (2 x 5¼). Ink “blotchy” looking stamps and stamp two times before re-inking to get the lighter image. Have you figured out, the set from the annual catalog?????? HINT: The “blotchy” looking stamps are from that set.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies for the greeting and the Layering Circle Dies for the flower. Yes, I fussy cut the flower and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adding it to the circles.

This really was a super simple card, but then clean and simple is one of my favorite things. Add this set to your collection. I know you will have fun creating with it. Our host code is: C77FJQM2. Thanks for shopping with me!

Oh yes, the mystery stamp set: Dressed to Impress on page 31 in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

Rain or Shine?

Are you a rain or a shine person? I think I am both. I love the sunshine, but I also love a good summer thunderstorm. Not the tornado type like we have seen in the mid-west this year, but a cooling summer thunderstorm. There is just something magical about the day turning dark in the middle of the afternoon. And of course the amazing colorful clouds once the storm clears. Who knows there may even be a rainbow!

My card today is from a new bundle in the January -June mini catalog, Flowering Rain Boots. It also doubled as a birthday card for my upline, Brian King, earlier this month. I know I am double-dipping, but why reinvent the wheel? Right?
