Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! This year’s hops are inspired by our favorite shapes and favorite colors – today’s projects showcase some of Stampin’ Up!’s amazing shades of red. 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.
Why is it that the simplest themes tend to be the most difficult? I love the color red and for some reason my mind went to circles because Valentine’s Day is over and well, I just could not do hearts. Some days I am just on the struggle bus and while it took me much longer than need be, I am happy with my results.
I started with a Basic White card base and to another layer of white measuring 4 x 5¼, I added a 1 inch strip of Poppy Parade, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler and Merry Merlot. I used liquid glue to attach each strip. Then I ran the layer through my Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine using the Metal Plate 3-D folder. I then cut the layer using my Picture This circle die.
The greetings and the flowers are from the Lovely You stamp set. I stamped everything with Real Red ink. I fussy cut the flowers using my paper snips and attached them to the small circles using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. I hope you enjoy my circles of red card creation.
I hope you have fun hopping with us to day, next stop is Stamp Me Silly with Jan Dufour. Don’t forget to leave a comment, we love hearing feedback from you!
