Harvest and Hope-InKing Royal October Blog Hop

36 Comments / Blog Hop, Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects center around Harvest & Hope, so prepare yourself for gratitude and love in Fall-themed projects. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Sorry no Weekly Wednesday video as I am taking care of my mother in law for a week or so and that means no time to film, but I am excited to share with you two cards for our blog hop today.

The first card was made by my friend Cherie who came to visit earlier this month. This is actually a card she made on our World Card Making Day Weekend. Cherie is super great at creating very intricate cards! Thanks Cherie! I will do my best to give you directions.

The second card is a super simple Thanksgiving card that I created using the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack.

I began with a Cajun Craze card base and used Cajun Craze Ink for the Happy Thanksgiving greeting. The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set. I am telling you this crazy little set is so stinkin’ versatile!

Holly Jolly Wishes & Stitched Stars-Make It Monday #29

Christmas 2021, Make it Monday Videos /

It is time again for another Make it Monday tutorial. If you love stars you are going to love today’s video. Not only do both of these cards use the same star dies, they also share greetings from Holly Jolly Wishes and Designer Series Paper from the Tidings of Christmas paper pack in the July -December 2021 mini catalog.

I love the soft look from the Soft Succulent cardstock and when you pair it with Evening Evergreen, it is so elegant. I cannot wait to experiment with these colors using the Evening Elegant bundle.

Empty and Little-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

When we empty ourselves and become little, we allow God to fill us and we become so much more.  John and James kind of missed the point that Jesus came to serve, not to be served.  Jesus wanted James, John and all his followers, us included, to understand that His glory was most fulfilled when he emptied himself for others. 

So what does that kind of humility and glory look like?  How can we imitate Christ’s love? As we strive to humbly serve others, let us always live in the hope of the resurrection and recall how God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son for you and for me.

So today, let us be empty and little, so we can be filled and blessed!
