19 Comments / Blog Hop, Just Because Cards /

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop! Can you believe it’s already time for schools to start back up?! The return to school after summer vacation is a really big deal for students, teachers, school workers and the parents who are left home alone. To honor this big event, we have created projects with a back to school theme. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them!

Stamp and crop the crafting/school tools and color with coordinating Stampin’ Blend markers and add basket to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greetings are from Garden Birdhouses and Forever Fern stamp sets. Whether you are a student or a teacher, I hope you have a fabulous year.

Favorite Things Friday, Just Because Cards, Thinking of You /

One of my favorite things and I am sure yours too is FREE products. Right now during Sale-A-Brations you can win big. For every $50 you spend, you get to choose a FREE product from the Summer Sale-A-Bration catalog.

Our host code is 9FZ3JJVB. You can save now until August 31st, but don’t wait until the last minute or your favorite product may be gone.

Todays card features two free products from the Sale-A-Brations catalog, the Hippest Hippos and the Hippo Dies. I began with a Balmy Blue card base and added a layer of Blushing Bride. I stamped the Hippos in Memento Black ink and colored them with our famous Watercolor pencils and used the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine to crop them with the Hippo Dies.

The umbrellas are also part of that die set and I used coordinating cardstock to make my Hippos pop. The greeting is from the new Cheerful Basket set featured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog.

Artistically Inked Thank You by Laura Rossmann

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Just Because Cards, Thank You /

Today and tomorrow’s blog post is brought to you by my dear friend, Laura Rossmann. Thank you Laura for helping me get posted during this most difficult time.

From Laura-

I began with a Basic White card base and added the Artistically Inked DSP.  Using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and the Artistic Dies, I cut out the group of flowers and leaves from Basic White Cardstock and adhered it on top of the Artistically Inked DSP. 

I stamped the large flower in Daffodil Delight Ink and the leaves in Pear Pizzazz then cut them using the flower and leaf dies. I then filled in the center of the flower using the Wink of Stella and adhered them on top of the white flowers and leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the Thanks on the remaining Basic White CS and cut it using the tag die from the Seasonal Labels Dies.  I adhered the sentiment tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Project Measurements and Supplies

  • Basic White CS – 5 ½ by 8 ½ (card base) and the remaining 5 ½ by 8 ½ for stamping and die cutting
  • Artistically Inked DSP – 5 ¼ by 4 (retired)
  • Artistically Inked Bundle
  • Seasonal Labels Dies

Come Holy Sprit Come-Sunday Wisdom

6 Comments / Just Because Cards /

The past few weeks have been filled with many blessing from the Holy Spirit, so how fitting that today is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. As many of you know my mom has been battling cancer. It has been a long and emotional week, as my mom lost her battle with cancer yesterday.

The good news is that she now has a beautiful place in heaven just for her. I am so grateful she is now resting in the arms of her Savior. I have been blessed to walk this most difficult journey with her and even more blessed to be able to spend the last 10 days providing around the clock care for her with some of my siblings.

While my day to day blogging continued during this time, I do not have the mental capacity to create a Make It Monday video for tomorrow. I do have my card ready to go for Tuesday, and after that some of my dear friends have offered to create blog posts for me. I will sharing their creations with you over the next couple of weeks. Thank you so much for your understanding!

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