Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thank You / June 17, 2021

My hubby and I recently returned home from a visit to Virginia Beach to be with his mom. While it was not a vacation, as she is unable to live alone, it was an enjoyable visit. When we got home, I was thrilled to see my Stampin’ Up! order had arrived. Nothing is more exciting that getting a Stampin’ Up! order from UPS. Right???

One of the new toys in my order was the Daisy Garden background stamp and oh boy it is beautiful. Today’s card was inspired by a sample in the annual catalog on page 106. Enjoy!

15 Comments / Blog Hop / June 16, 2021

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s June 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 feature stars. 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.

I have seen the Stitched Star Dies used to create a ton of Christmas cards, so I thought it would be fun to use a red, white and blue motif and create two very easy 4th of July cards! Really these dies are great for any occasion. After all we can never have too many stars in our lives. Right?

Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to crop stars using Stitched Star dies and scraps for both cards.
Stamp greeting on white panel in Pacific Point ink for both cards. 3¾ x 5 for card #1. 3 x 4¼ crop w/ Stitched Rectangle die for card #2.

True Love is Designer Series Paper

Paper Crafting Ideas, Thank You / June 15, 2021 / Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Blend Markers, True Love

Creating cards with the True Love black and white paper pack is not only easy but quick. This card came together in a matter of minutes. The only part that took a bit of time was the coloring of the flowers. Even that can be quick when using the Stampin’ Blend markers.

I love these alcohol markers because the combo pack of light and dark makes blending a breeze. Check out the variety of colors in the annual catalog on pages 122-123.

Supplies

Basic Black Cardstock- 5½ x 8½, 3-1/8 x 5-5/8,1½ x 2½,
Basic White Cardstock- 4 x 5¼, 3 ¼ x 4 ¾, 1½ x 2½,
True Love Designer Series Paper- flowers (cut with paper snips), 3 x 4½ (dotted), 2 x 5¼
Stampin’ Blend Marker Combo- Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight
Paper Snips
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive or Liquid Glue

Directions

Score Basic Black cardstock in landscape position at 4¼. Fold & burnish.
Attach 2 x 5¼ strip of True Love DSP to the left side of card front.
Layer the True Love dotted DSP panel to the Basic Black panel and then layer to the 3¼ x 4¾ Basic White panel. Layer all to the card front as shown above.
Stamp greeting in Memento Black ink on white cardstock and crop using the Double Oval Punch. I used the thank you from Beauty of Friendship, but you have a ton of options, so go crazy.
Crop a scallop oval in Basic Black using the Double Oval Punch.
Layer the greeting oval to the black oval and attach to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Color several flowers and leaves from the True Love DSP and use paper snips to fussy cut and attach to front of card.
Add 4 x 5¼ Basic White panel to the inside and decorate as desired.

There are a few different layers to this card, but it really does come together quickly and the pop of color created with the Stampin’ Blend markers is the perfect finish to an elegant card. This would make a great wedding or anniversary card. I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

The Smallest of Seeds-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom / June 13, 2021

The Kingdom of God exists for us all and everything makes a difference. The simple things we say or do can have a big influence on others. It is like the saying I used to tell my kids, especially when they were in high school. “People might not remember your name, but they will always remember your kindness.”

The seeds of kindness sprout everywhere and no matter how small our deed, we can bring love and hope to our communities. We can spread peace and justice and yes, we can make a difference. So be that tiny mustard seed and allow yourself to grow. Let’s change the world one heart at a time.
