Happy Wednesday, I hope you all have a fabulous day. Did you know that the British football team (that’s soccer if you’re American) “Sheffield Wednesday” started as The Wednesday Cricket Club in 1820. They named themselves after the day on which they played their matches. Who knew and I just thought it was hump day. LOL
Today’s card is all about our Ice Cream Swirl bundle featured in the January – April 2024 catalog. This catalog will soon be retiring so if there is anything you have on your list, I would place that order soon. Once the retiring sets are announced all items are while supplies last.
This is the perfect set to create folded gift card holder or a shaker card. The greetings are so sweet and who could ever pass up an ice cream cone this time of the year. I love the swirls. You can use these dies to create a variety of colored ice cream cones, as well as, some favorite cup cake treats
Featured on page 37 in the mini catalog, this is a must have bundle for your 2024 stamping stash. Have fun creating with this super sweet bundle. Happy Stamping!

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!

Happy Birthday to my brother, Greg! Today is his birthday and while I am not going to be able to share a Milkshake in person, I thought I would post this card for him. See I promised it would not be Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss! LOL
This bright and bold creation was made with Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo, quite the opposite of the darker neutral colors don’t you think? This fun summertime set is perfect for creating a special birthday card and I hope my brother enjoys his. I even got it in the mail on time, so he can enjoy his online and in-person birthday card!

My card base is the bright and cheery Lemon Lime Twist with a layer of Melon Mambo. The spoon is stamped with Pecan Pie ink on Pecan Pie cardstock. The fountain glass is a combo of Lemon Lime Twist and Smoky Slate and don’t forget the red cherry on top! Happy Stamping!!!!

Today is one of those hot summer days that is perfect for sharing a an ice cream sundae. My card today was create using the Share a Milkshake bundle in the annual catalog. Growing up, we moved around a lot and I only remember the ice cream truck coming around when we lived in Springfield, Illinois, but I will always remember sharing a hot fudge sundae with my grandpa. It did not matter where we lived, I loved visiting him every summer!
Fun fact that is no secret in my family, my grandpa loved sweets, so it did not even have to be hot outside for us to share a sundae together. So no matter what the weather is like in your neighborhood today, go ahead and enjoy a sundae anyway! Happy Stamping!

Today I created a pitcher of iced tea with the so Refreshing Bundle and the new color Pecan Pie. I am not sure what is it like in your neighborhood, but it is really hot here and today is a perfect day for some refreshing iced tea.
I started with a Pecan Pie card base and added a layer of Basic White, a second layer of Pecan Pie and to the last layer of Basic White I stamped the greeting in Pecan Pie ink. On some scraps of Basic White I stamped the pitcher, ice cubes and glasses all in Pecan Pie, cropped them with the coordinating dies in the bundle and added them to the card front.
If you are not an iced tea fan, perhaps you are a cold brew fan. This card could easily be sent to a coffee or tea lover. Have fun creating with all the extra dies in this bundle.

I don’t know what the weather is like where you all live, but here in St. Louis, it is HOT! We have been in the 90’s and even 100’s, not quite as hot as Texas, but certainly warm enough for some refreshing lemonade. Today’s card was created from the So Refreshing Bundle. So Happy 4th of July! I hope you enjoy some real and refreshing lemonade with friends!!!!
Here is a closer look at that bundle. There is so much that you can do with all the dies in this bundle and you have to admit those strawberries are stinkin’ cute!!!
So even though it is hot out, enjoy some cool lemonade and strawberry pink lemonade is even better! So Refreshing……
I began with a Blueberry Bushel card base and added a layer of our new Bubble Bath pink. It is so sweet. I know you are going to love creating with the soft and subtle pink. The flowers are also stamped with Bubble Bath and the leaves in Granny Apple Green. I cropped the blanked from some of our Glorious Gingham Designer Series paper pack and trust me it is glorious and just perfect for a picnic blanket!
I added a layer of Basic White that I embossed using the Metal Plate embossing folder and cropped those stinkin’ cute strawberries from Real Red cardstock. The greeting is from Timeless Arrangements and stamped in Blueberry Bushel. The dies in this bundle are so amazing too! OMG there are so many wonderful products in our 2023-2024 annual catalog!

If you are a bird person then you are going to love today’s card. If not, maybe you are seaside bay person, either way today’s card is a fun summertime card. My card base begins with Balmy Blue and then I added a layer of Night of Navy. I created my beach scene for Mama bird and her babies on a 3-3/4 x 5 panel of white.
To create my beach scene I used our Blending Brushes and a variety of inks. For the water, I used Balmy Blue and Azure Afternoon. I added some white waves using a blender pen and some White Craft ink. The sand was blended with our new color Pecan Pie. The sky was again a mixture of Balmy Blue and Azure Afternoon.
I colored the bird family with a mixture of Stampin’ Blend markers and some watercolor pencils. I stamped the detailed sand dots using the Pecan Pie ink. The greeting is from the new stamp set Seasonal Branches. We have such a great spread of coordinating colors that makes creating fun scene super easy. Go ahead and give it a try, you might be surprised at how easy it is. Happy Stamping!

Rainy days are always better when shared with a friend or at least a good book. Remember the old saying Rain rain go away come again another day? I think that must have been when I was younger and wanted to go swimming. Now, here in St. Louis we could use a little rain.
This cute little fox from the Playing in the Rain stamp set looks like he is well on his way to a friends house. I think the tiny raindrop stamp really creates a nice effect for this card.
For my card base I used the new In-color Boho Blossom and layered a panel of black on top. My Basic White panel measures 3-3/4 x 5 and I added some Boho Blossom ink to the edges of my greeting panel with a Blending Brush. The umbrella is colored with the Night of Navy Stampin’ Blend and Mr. Fox is colored with some of our watercolor pencils and a blender pen.
So if your day is filled with cloudy skies and raindrops, I hope it is also filled with joy. Let’s be like Mr. Fox, he doesn’t seem like he has any worries at all.

Here is another card that features our new Azure Afternoon cardstock. I have to say I am really loving this shade of blue. Fun fact, one of my favorite things is a rainy day. Not all of the time like in Seattle, but I love me a good summer thunderstorm, and like the card says, rainy days are better when you share them with someone special!
This is a clean and simple card and it did not take much time at all to create the panel of faux Designer Series Paper. I figured just because the Playing in the Rain DSP is retired doesn’t mean we cannot create our own. I stamped the umbrellas with Memento Black ink and colored them in with a few Stampin’ Blend Combo markers. The greeting is also stamped in Memento black and I used the coordinating dies to cut one umbrella as an extra pop on my greeting. With the Blending Brush and some Azure Afternoon ink, I added a bit of color to my greeting.
Super fun, and simple. I mounted my faux DSP to a layer of Azure Afternoon and then to a layer of Black. Isn’t it amazing how just one layer can tie all the colors together. In this case it just happened to be a Basic Black layer, but it did the trick and soften the card. Have fun creating….Happy Stamping!

Today I am sharing two cards that I created using the Lighting the Way stamp set and dies. This set was featured in the previous mini catalog and can be found on page 24 in the new 2023-2024 annual catalog. These fun fireflies will surely brighten your day and for sure make you think of a starry summer night.
I used Blending Brushes and sponge daubers to create a soft summers night background. Misty Moonlight, a returning color, is the star of the show for my first card. Download the free project sheet below for more details on measurements and supplies.
