Dragonfly Fun-Favorite Things Friday!

One of the things I love the most about crafting is coloring. As a kid I could not wait for Santa to bring another coloring book and a new box of crayons. And to get a box of crayons with a pencil sharpener-jack pot!!! Today, I am much, much older and still love coloring. My coloring tools have grown from crayons to markers, chalk, sponges, daubers, blending brushes, colored pencils and aqua painters.

For today’s card I used Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue inks to add color with Blending Brushes. The dragonflies and greeting were stamped in Memento Black ink. I used my Paper snips to cut a dragonfly border and added a layer of Daffodil Delight that is dry embossing using the Hammered Metal embossing folder.

The photo above is the inside of my card where I added a strip of the embossed Daffodil Delight along the right side.

Boughs & Blossoms-Make It Monday #59

It is time again for another Make It Monday tutorial and today I am sharing several cards that I created using the Boughs and Blossoms stamp set that will be retiring at the end of the month. All of my cards began with a Basic White card base. I used Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather to add a splash of color.

These flowers look great in so many different colors. Have fun creating! Thanks so much for joining me for this Make It Monday tutorial. Be sure to stop back tomorrow more card creating ideas, and then again on Wednesday for our May InKing Royal Blog Hop.

A Heartfelt Thank You-Nature’s Prints

Not only are the flowers and ferns in the new Nature’s Prints set beautiful, but the splatter stamp makes a super fun background design. Today’s card features the background paper I created using Night of Navy in on some Basic White cardstock. I am sure this would also look good in Basic Black and many other colors too! Wow, I am really loving this set, I hope you are too!

I used the label die and a small flower from the bundle to create a tag for the greeting, and of course I popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Plentiful Plants-Big Thanks!

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!

Project Supplies and Measurements

  • Evening Evergreen CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base) Evening Evergreen CS-1-7/8 x 5
  • Designer Series Paper- 1 ¾ x 4-7/8

Dahlia Days Thank You

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.

Oceans of Fun-InKing Royal Blog Hop

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.

Project Supplies and Measurements

  • Pool Party CS- 8½ x 5½ (card base)
  • Soft Suede CS- 4-1/8 x 5-1/8

Sweet As a Peach-Thank You!

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.
