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.

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.

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.

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

Sweet Friend-Favorite Things Friday

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You / April 15, 2022

Wow I cannot believe it is already Friday, and Good Friday at that. Can you believe that April is already half over? Easter time is one of my favorite times of the year because it is a good excuse to bake something sweet. This year my parents are coming over for brunch so I plan to make homemade cinnamon rolls.

My card today is a tribute to all those bakers in your life and features the Measure of Love stamp set. It is not only a fun and easy card, it is very colorful too!

I began with a Pacific Point cards base and added a layer of Pear Pizzazz and Melon Mambo. The white panel was cut using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The bowls are stamped with Pacific Point, Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzazz inks, and yes, I fussy cut the bowls with my paper snips.

Arrange the bowls along the side and stamp the greeting with Pacific Point ink. Add a layer of white to the inside and feel free to decorate the inside with other bowl.

Happy Friday-Flowing Flowers!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You / January 14, 2022

Yay! It is Friday. I don’t know about you, but I am glad the weekend is here! The only bad thing about having time off from work during the holidays is how hard it is to get back into the swing of things again. I love working, but I also love staying home and crafting!!!

Today’s card features the Flowing Flowers set in the January-June mini catalog. I love the details in this stamp set. While the new is great, I am still in love with so many of the stamp sets in the annual catalog, so I used an oldie but goodie to pair with the flowers. Can you guess what stamp set it is?????

**Flowing Flowers page 36 January-June 2022**

I created the my own patterned paper using just one ink pad, Blackberry Bliss and a strip of Basic White CS (2 x 5¼). Ink “blotchy” looking stamps and stamp two times before re-inking to get the lighter image. Have you figured out, the set from the annual catalog?????? HINT: The “blotchy” looking stamps are from that set.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies for the greeting and the Layering Circle Dies for the flower. Yes, I fussy cut the flower and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adding it to the circles.

This really was a super simple card, but then clean and simple is one of my favorite things. Add this set to your collection. I know you will have fun creating with it. Our host code is: C77FJQM2. Thanks for shopping with me!

Oh yes, the mystery stamp set: Dressed to Impress on page 31 in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.
