Well I think Spring is finally here and it is time to get those potted plants out on the patio. I don’t have much of a green thumb, but I thought I would try my luck with growing some herbs this year. I really want to have some plants like in today’s card, but I am pretty sure my patio has too much sun, not to mention I forget to water them-hence the brown, not green thumb.
The star of today’s card is Plentiful Plants Bundle and of course the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper. I love this brick wall paper. I began with an Evening Evergreen card base and added a layer of white. The Bloom Where You’re Planted DSP (designer series paper) is cut at 1¾ x 4-7/8 and mounted onto some Evening Evergreen CS. The Brushed Metallic Dots add just the right touch to finish off this card.
Happy Gardening, but more importantly Happy Stamping!

Hello my stamping friends! Today I thought I would share with you a super simple card using some of our designer series paper and a stamp from the Dahlia Days Bundle featured in the January – June 2022 annual catalog. This card can be created using your favorite color and perhaps even some designer series paper scraps.
I started with a Night of Navy card base and added three strips of designer series paper. The tag was created by stamping the greeting from Dahlia Days with Night Navy ink and punched using the Label Me Lovely punch. I added a bit of denim ribbon and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the tag.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s April Blog Hop! As the weather gets warmer, it’s time to start planning our trips to the beach, the lake or the in-town aquarium. Today we’re sharing projects inspired by the ocean and sea – 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.
I don’t think there is anything more relaxing than sitting in the warm sun listening to the ocean waves. Today’s card reminds me of a peaceful beach scene and since the weather here in St. Louis is a little brisk for this time of year, I am really longing for a warm sandy beach somewhere, but alas my Ocean Front card will have to do.
In addition to the Ocean Front stamp set, I used the Blending Brushes to add a Balmy Blue sky and the greeting is from Dahlia Days, which is also featured in the January – June 2022 mini catalog.

The You’re A Peach Designer Series paper pack coordinates perfectly with the Sweet As A Peach Bundle in the 2021-2022 annual catalog. See page 60 for more details on this “sweet” suite! My card today features this paper pack and the a small peach from the bundle.
The card base and the ink for the baby peach is Calypso Coral. I added a strip of the paper on the left side to create a sweet and simple thank you card.
The tag was cut using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I also stamped and cropped a small peach to add to the tag. The leaves on the tag are stamped directly to the white cardstock in Pear Pizazz. I just love the vibrant colors, it really does make me think of spring and summer. I am so looking forward to a real fresh peach!
Don’t forget the retired list for the 2021-2022 catalog will be out later today, and once that list is live, I will be sending out a newsletter to all my followers. I will also post it on my blog tomorrow.

I know I have said this before, but truly one of my favorite things about Stampin’ Up! is the coordination of products. I love the look and quality of our Designer Series Papers (DSP) and how easy it is to create a professional looking card.
Todays card features the Blessings of Home Bundle along with the Home and Heart Designer Series paper pack and it coordinates perfectly with Cinnamon Cider, one of our In-Colors. I added a layer of Early Espresso to the card front to really make this lovely designer paper pop.
I added a strip of Early Espresso cardstock across the lower portion of my card front and used the Label Me Lovely punch to add an accent of Early Espresso. I stamped the greeting is stamped in Early Espresso ink on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, then punched it out with the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch. I love this layered look. Both of these punches are featured in the 2021-2022 annual catalog.
If you have not had a chance to order this paper pack, I highly recommend it. I think it would also coordinate nicely with Garden Wishes and Dragonfly Garden Bundles also featured in the annual catalog.

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

My card today features this bundle. I began with a Early Espresso card base that I embossed using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss and the Timber 3-D embossing folder.
I used the Friendly Hello Bundle and some Stampin’ Blend Markers to create the White panel and layered it to a 4 x 4 panel of Highland Heather CS. The greeting is stamped in Basic White ink and embellished with a few Gold Metallic Dots.

Hello my stamping friends, I am back today with another Favorite Things Friday featuring a clean and simple card using the new Flowing Flowers stamp set in the January – June 2022 mini catalog. This set is quickly becoming one of my favorites in the new catalog.
I love how simple and elegant these flowers look, especially when you stamp them in a variety of colors.
My card today begins with a Basic White card base and I used Melon Mambo, Highland Heather and Old Olive inks. The light gray highlight around the card is just so you can see the image more clearly. Although it would also look good backed with Smoky Slate CS-who knew?
The greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink and punched with the Label Me Lovely punch., which I layered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also add a few pearls that were in my stamping stash!

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!
