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.

Sun Prints and Sunflowers

2 Comments / Thinking of You / May 31, 2022

My card today features the new Sun Prints 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and the Sunflowers dies. I love this new paper pack and am sure you will be seeing more of it in the future.

I began my card with a Night of Navy card base and added a 4 x 5 1/2 layer of Basic White CS to the card front. I cut a piece of Sun Prints Designer Series paper and mounted it to a Night of Navy panel and added it to the card front.

Use the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and some Basic Black CS to crop the detailed sunflower from the die set and add it to the card front. Stamp your desired greeting on the front with Night of Navy ink and your card is complete. I love how simple and sweet this card turned out.

Elegant Eucalyptus

2 Comments / Thinking of You / May 25, 2022

Today I am excited to share with you another new 3-D embossing folder featured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog, Elegant Eucalyptus.

This is a two pack of mini embossing folders that is just perfect for the mini Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine. Not only is this little machine cute, it is super convenient to use on your desk top when crafting.

I embossed a piece of Night of Navy cardstock with the floral spay image and used a sponge dauber to gently add some White Craft ink to the embossed image. I corner rounded the edges and layered it to my card front.

The greeting is from Lovely you and stamped on Basic White cardstock using Night of Navy ink. This will be just perfect to send to my mother-in-law. I hope you enjoy this new embossing folder!

Still At the Beach-Favorite Things Friday

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You / April 22, 2022

Yay, it’s Friday and I decided why not continue the beach theme, especially now that the weather is warming up. The only thing better than relaxing at the beach would be swimming in the ocean, or anywhere really, as long as there aren’t any sharks! LOL

Today’s card features the Seas the Day Bundle and the Ocean Front stamp set. I created the beach scene first, added a sunset and used the largest die from the bundle to add some depth to the front of my card. I used the 1″ circle punch to create a sunset mask and applied Daffodil Delight ink using a sponge dauber.

Oceans of Fun-InKing Royal Blog Hop

19 Comments / Blog Hop, Thank You, Thinking of You / April 20, 2022 / Dahlia Days, Ocean Front

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
