<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's
May Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word - and
this month our projects are centered around REMEMBER. This word can mean
different things to different people - fond memories, respectful tributes,
special occasions that we'll never forget. 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. </span><br />

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hello friends!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm back from a little blog sabbatical, and happy to be hoppin' along with the Royals once again!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So for this month's theme, I had a little struggle deciding what exactly I wanted to do. There's so many things you can do with a "remember" theme! I decided that what I wanted to remember was to give thanks. Thanks for all the generosity and kindness that I receive even when I maybe don't deserve it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I wanted to keep this relatively simple and clean, which is why I did the white frame on top of the white card base. I feel like it really makes the butterflies and sentiment pop. I used Night of Navy and Coastal Cabana, I absolutely love this color combination!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I used the Butterfly Duet punch and Butterfly Beauty Thinlits to make the butterflies. I love how the thinlits had several of the tiny butterfly dies to make multiples so much easier </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The sentiment and "thanks" die cut were made with the Well Said bundle. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This set is a must have! I LOVE the variety of word dies in the set, and there's a sentiment in there for everything. It was a little pricey (worth it) so I made sure to order before the bundle pricing went away. It's a great set that will get a lot of use.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's
February Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word -
and this month our projects are centered around BIRTHDAY. It's always special
to celebrate the birthday of someone you love, so handmade birthday cards are
always fun to share. 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. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Today's project is a quick birthday card that I can make multiples of and keep in the card stash to have on hand.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">I started with a piece of the How Sweet It Is DSP from the occasions catalog. It has a lot of bright colors and sweet prints that would make an excellent base for a fun birthday card. I really liked the bold stripes of the paper and it has several of my favorite SU colors included, so it really called to me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been itching to use my Piece of Cake bundle - I do love my punches. I stamped the cake in Granny Apple Green and paired it with a Gorgeous Grape cake stand. Purples and Greens are one of my favorite color combinations. I used dimensionals to attach the cake to a piece of Melon Mambo CS I cut using the layering ovals dies.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I added the sentiment from the Sweetest Thing stamp set to the bottom in Granny Apple Green, and used glitter enamel dots for a little extra punch.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's
January Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word -
and this month our projects are centered around LOVE. You're certain to see
some amazing ideas for Valentine's Day in the hop, but there are other ways to
honor love in the lineup, too. What fun! 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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Have you ever thought about how many different versions of love there are? I don't think I've really thought about it as much as I did when I sat down to work on my idea for this months blog hop. What kind of love was I looking to express? My love for my husband, or my love for my child, maybe even the love I have for my mother or my sister. Any of those would do, although making a card for my husband would be kind of pointless as he doesn't like cards ( yeah, I don't get it either). I could create something to express my love for my Sister-in-law, or my nieces...so many options! So many different kinds of love...the same, yet different. I finally decided that I would make a card for another important love- my best friend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I met my best friend at work about five-ish years ago. She's overly blunt and take-no-prisoners, and I'm pretty quiet and standoffish (at first, anyway). Our friendship was sort of miraculous. She knows all the good, bad and ugly about me and loves me anyway. In my darkest hour she showed up, no hesitation, and took care of my family like we were her own. She's my family by choice, and I don't know what I would do without her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She's had a lot of sickness in her little family the past few months, and I haven't been able to see her much since we no longer work together and our schedules are very different. So I decided to make a little something to send a smile her way. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjsClc6u_lEy5t788ySbZ1_Rlqegql0_Vhq2mOaSGtEflzqSKAxXPV1mWbjGCJptWjiWoYTpCNdtTE9DgoMbbUj2fX67l-_mMoscj8jNP76NFvlD7uWzxLYTHDD6hUQzFSYCcdkYj6ndRe/s1600/Watermarked%25282019-01-30-0057%2529%255B564%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjsClc6u_lEy5t788ySbZ1_Rlqegql0_Vhq2mOaSGtEflzqSKAxXPV1mWbjGCJptWjiWoYTpCNdtTE9DgoMbbUj2fX67l-_mMoscj8jNP76NFvlD7uWzxLYTHDD6hUQzFSYCcdkYj6ndRe/s400/Watermarked%25282019-01-30-0057%2529%255B564%255D.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I knew I wanted to use the new Happy Tails bundle from the occasions catalog. When I saw this set in the catalog, I knew it would be on my first order. I have so many people who would love something created with these cute pups! Mackinzie used to operate a dog rescue, so I knew I would need to have this set for her, and the fact that it is a punch bundle- well. Punches are my absolute favorite.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I made a 3x3 card with Whisper White cardstock, then added a layer of Coastal Cabana (from the brights DSP stack) and stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy. I used the Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots for a little pop of color on the collars.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's simple, but sometimes simple is the way to go. Although I did agonize over it for hours :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thanks for stopping by and reading my rambling post about love. Did I mention the love that I have for that Maggiano's Pasta that I daydream about, or the new Starbucks Cinnamon Shortbread Frappuccino? I could write poetry about that deliciousness...perhaps another time :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's December Blog Hop! This year's
Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs - this month's song is
"Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons." As you can guess, our Blog Hop today
is filled with projects that are inspired by beautiful paper and beautiful
ribbons - how clever! 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

Hey everyone!<br />
<br />
It's the last InKing Royalty Blog Hop of 2018, and this month I have 3 projects to share with you (whhaaaat? I know, right?)<br />
<br />
My projects this month are inspired by some wrapping paper I found. When I saw it in the store, I was quick to snap it up- I loved the non-traditional, bright colors. My Christmas tree is decorated in purple and silver (not counting all the family ornaments) so I knew this paper would look fantastic on the presents under the tree.<br />

<br />
<br />
Isn't that so wonderfully bright? Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, and Granny Apple Green, what a great combo :)<br />

<br />
Project 1: A Merry and Bright card<br />
I used the Whisper White Narrow Note Cards as a base, and added a strip of 2" x 4.5 " Gorgeous Grape CS. I cut the trees from the Brights DSP pack, using Pacific Point, Melon Mambo, and Granny Apple Green. I pulled the tree punch out of the Retired Vault of Amazing Awesomeness, but if you don't have it you can make triangles the same size from paper 1.5" x 2".<br />
The sentiment is from Making Christmas Bright, stamped in Whisper White Craft ink on Melon Mambo CS.<br />

<br />
<br />
Project 2: An Oversized Tag<br />
I used a 2" x 6" piece of Granny Apple Green DSP as the base of the tag. I punched the tree shape out of a 3" x 4" piece of Gorgeous Grape CS, and stamped the snowflake pattern in Whisper White Craft. The snowflakes came from the Candy Cane Season stamp set.<br />
<br />
Project 3: Initial Tag<br />
I love a good monogram or an initial on all sorts of things, so I thought I would give it a try on a Christmas gift tag. For this tag I used a strip of 1.5" x 4.5" Gorgeous Grape CS, and topped it with a piece of the DSP measuring 2"x3". I used my favorite Large Letter Dies to cut out the "N" and attached it with foam adhesive strips. I finished off both tags with Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped ribbon. I love how a tag can be so simple to make, and yet bring such a personal touch to a gift:)<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's
November Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs -
this month's song is "We are Family." As you might guess, our Blog
Hop today is filled with projects that are inspired by family - we have a wide
variety of projects today! 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

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I can't believe it's almost December! This year is just flying by and Christmas is fast approaching. Christmas is my favorite holiday, and for many reasons. One of my favorite things about Christmas are the holiday traditions. When I was growing up, one of my favorite Christmas traditions was making cookies with my Grandma. She would make buckeyes and so many stacks of cutout Christmas sugar cookies. I remember helping to frost all the trees and stockings and Santas...so many cookies, I don't know how she did it! She also made these little folded cookies with fruit filling that I believe are called Kolacky. I haven't had them since she passed over 20 years ago, and this year my goal is to find a good recipe and try my hand at making a batch to surprise my mom. If anyone out there has one they'd like to share with me, I'd be so grateful :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Christmas traditions are also what inspired my project today. A Christmas tradition I'm sure you are familiar with are performances of The Nutcracker. The dance studio that my niece and daughter attend puts on a performance every December. My daughter is still too young to participate, but my niece has been performing for several years now. This year, my Mother-in-law is driving down from Michigan to surprise her and watch the performance. So since this year will be a</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> little more special, I thought I would make her a special gift.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Today's project:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Christmas Colors:</b> I started my ornament with Festive Farmhouse DSP. It's such a pretty plaid, I knew it would make the perfect base. I made my rosette using 2 strips of DSP 1.5" x 12" long. The Rosette on the box used 2 strips of Cherry Cobbler CS 1"x 11" long.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Stay Frosty:</b> One of my favorite (new to me) things in the Holiday Catalog are the shimmer paints. Here I used the Frost White, and I used it on the circles of Mossy Meadow on top of the Rosettes, and I also used it to cover the pizza box. I love that pretty dose of shimmery shine!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>O, Candy Cane:</b> The candy canes are not only a Christmas staple, it's also one of my nieces roles this year. Obviously, a candy cane was a must!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>A Personal Touch:</b> Last, but not least, the finishing touch was to add her name to the box, and the year to the ornament. I did both using the Make A Difference stamp set.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's
October Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs -
this month's song is "Monster Mash." As you can guess, our Blog Hop
today is filled with fun projects that are inspired by the spookiest night of
the year - Halloween. 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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Here comes Halloween! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">I don't send a lot of Halloween cards, but they sure are fun to make! During a recent #royalchallenge in the InKing Royalty Facebook group, I made quite a few. I got in a groove and made several different cards, mostly using the Cauldron Bubble bundle. One of my favorites, however, was a card I made using the cat punch and some inks (with an assist from the September Paper Pumpkin) I liked it enough I wanted to make another version. Today's card:</span><br />

the late '70's. As you can guess, our Blog Hop today is filled with projects
that are inspired by the beauty of Autumn - September is when the air becomes
crisp and the leaves start to fall. 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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">It's time for another InKing Royalty Blog Hop! I always look forward to the Royals' hops; I love being a part of such a creative community! I always feel so inspired after I see all their projects:)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">I've been itching to use my Falling For Leaves stamp set and Detailed Leaves thinlits dies since they arrived in my Holiday preorder. With my new work schedule and my daughter heading back to school (and dance classes, etc ) I just haven't been able to really play with all my goodies like I would like to. I was so ready to break this set out, and I'm so glad I did!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Rich Fall Colors:</b> I love using deep purples, oranges, and yellows for fall. Today I used Pumpkin Pie and Blackberry Bliss.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>All the Copper:</b> I added shine and bling with copper foil sheets and the copper glimmer sheets from the Joyous Noel Glimmer paper stack. The copper accents are a perfect compliment to Blackberry Bliss and Pumpkin Pie. I used the new sprig punch for the copper foil leaves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Brusho at Last!:</b> I purchased the Brusho crystal colours months ago, but to be honest, I was a little too intimidated to actually use them. I finally jumped in and tried them...and I am in love! It made the watercolor background SO easy! I just used my Stampin' Spritzer to spray some water on my watercolor paper, and sprinkled some yellow Brusho on. I swirled it around with a brush a little, then added a little more water and a slight sprinkle of the Gamboge brusho. I zapped it with the heat tool to set it quickly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>A Favorite Secret Weapon:</b> There's a little "sand spatter" stamp in the Magical Mermaid set that I like to use to add a little more texture to my backgrounds. I used it with Pumpkin Pie ink on my Brusho background to give it a little more depth. </span><br />

Hello everyone!<br />
<br />
The new 2018 Holiday Catalog is absolutely full of wonderful new stamps and accessories to make any holiday better this season. On my first look-through, I decided I wanted basically everything in it! Obviously, this isn't really feasible, so like everyone else I whittled my list to a good starting amount. I really tried to focus on purchasing only my most favorite bundles or sets for each holiday, then a few extra and multi-holiday sets.<br />
That quickly went out the window!<br />
Needless to say, I had a marvelous "un-boxing" of my first shipment of goodies!<br />
<br />
Which brings me to today's hop, "our favorite holiday". While Halloween isn't my absolute most favorite holiday (that distinction belongs to Christmas), it is definitely my second most favorite. I love using purples and greens, I love to decorate, and it happens in the fall when the air is crisp and sweaters are the norm. Man, I love fall!<br />
Today's project:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Bundle Up:</b> One of the bundles at the top of my list was the Takeout Treats bundle. It has images suitable for several different occasions, and the thinlits include a die to make a sweet little "takeout" box. Now, I tend to forget to check the measurements on these little boxes, and I didn't realize how tiny this box is. So for all of you out there, just know its on the tiny side. It will hold a couple tealights or nuggets, or other small candy. It will be perfect for little gifties for the littles in your life. I think it will work great for Halloween handouts for my daughters class this year.<br />
The cute witches hat came from the Cauldron Bubble Bundle. A very cute set with an adorable witch and her accessories.</div>

<br />
<b>A New Favorite thing:</b> Shimmer Paint is back! I wasn't a stamper when this was offered before, so it may be new to you like it is to me. I had to fall down the YouTube rabbit hole to find ways to use it. For this, I put a couple drops in the lid of the Frost White shimmer paint, then used a sponge dauber to pick it up and dab it on the tiny candy stamp from Takeout Treats. It looks so amazing on Basic Black Cardstock! The other colors are at the top of my list for my next order.<br />

<b>A Scary Good Halloween Color Combo:</b> Gorgeous Grape meets Granny Apple Green with a touch of Mango Melody. Halloween perfection! The paper rosette on the front was made from two strips of Granny Apple Green striped paper from the Brights DSP pack. I cut the strips 3/4 in. wide, and folded them accordion-style every two stripes. </div>

<b>And to Top it all off:</b> A touch of Gorgeous Grape mini striped ribbon, a touch of bling courtesy of sequin trim, and a tiny tag to give a hint to the goodies inside:)<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's
August Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs -
this month's song is "Dog Days Are Over." While we still feel the
heat from a long, hot summer, August is a perfect time of year to start
planning our Fall-themed cards. The projects in our hop will showcase Autumn,
back-to-school and warm colors - you might even see a dog or two! 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. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">It's only mid-August, but my mind is already on the cool weather of fall. I can't wait! Fall is my favorite season, and I'm so looking forward to the cooler temperatures. I also love the beautiful, rich colors I associate with fall. With those colors in mind, I created today's project.</span><br />

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">I love a good banner. Like, more than any normal member of society should. I made very elaborate banners for my daughters first couple birthdays, and I saved them because I loved them so much. Though that might not be particularly newsworthy, since I'm known to be a bit of a hoarder and save everything :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;"></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">
</span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">I was going to just make a banner, but then I thought it might be nice to attach it to a wreath so I can hang it easier. I'm going to take this one to work for the office door...I think my residents are going to love it.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>A touch of nature :</b> I started with Wood Textures and Nature's Poem Designer Series Papers. The wood textures stack is so versatile, and it makes the perfect base for the banner. I chose two sheets from the Nature's Poem papers: a Blackberry Bliss with thicker stripes and a Cajun Craze patterned piece. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Large Letters to the Rescue :</b> My large letters framelits are some of my most frequently used dies. I keep them on a large magnet sheet I glued to an acrylic picture frame from the dollar store. They sit right on my desk all the time, so they're easy to get to and use.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>A touch of ink, but no stamping :</b> Not every project has to have stamping to make it work, but I love to use ink in other ways when there's no stamping involved. I made my letters from Crushed Curry cardstock, then used a sponge to lightly sponge Crushed Curry ink to give them a little more depth. On the sunflowers, I used a dauber to add a little Mango Melody ink around the centers of the flower to make them a touch more special.</div>

<div>
<b>So many punches :</b> So easy. So versatile. So many! I used The Banner Triple, Tailored Tag, Daisy, 1" circle, and Lemon Builder punches. I made the daisy into a sunflower by scoring down the middle of each petal with the scoring stylus, and doing two layers. I used a 1" circle of Early Espresso for the centers, that I topped with a piece of Copper Trim that I pulled apart. I love the added bit of texture.</div>

I love this rich color combo, perfect for fall:</div>

To be fair, I love Blackberry Bliss with pretty much anything but I really love it with Crushed Curry. Autumn perfection!</div>

<br />
Today's card was an idea that popped into my head a couple days ago, and I just knew I had to give it a try. Then I checked out this weeks color challenge at <a href="http://www.global-design-project.com/" target="_blank">Global Design Project</a>, and I was so inspired!<br />
<br />

Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay are such a classic combo, and the addition of Lovely Lipstick makes for a beautiful update on the classic.<br />

My idea was to make a "mermaid scales" card, but I thought using the colors as is would be a little too dark for what I was looking for. Instead, I used my Stampin' Sponges to watercolor on Shimmery White paper. I really wanted a touch of whimsy and sparkle for the scales.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Punch, punch, punch and punch some more :</b> My 1" circle punch got quite the workout punching out all the scales, but I knew I wanted the texture and 3D effect of individual scales. Punches are one of my absolute favorite tools to use! I know I could have done it with dies if I needed to, but seriously y'all : ain't nobody got time for that! :)</div>

<b>A little cutie:</b> I was seriously bummed when Magical Day retired a few months ago. It's collection whimsical creatures quickly became a favorite, and I didn't want to see it go. Well, if you love it..use it! Magical Day came out of the Secret Vault of Retired Amazingness to be the perfect final touch for my card.</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's
July Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs - this
month's song is "I Don't Want to Wait 'til Christmas." We are
half-way through the year, so there's no better time to start thinking about
the joy of Christmas. 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. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I am so excited about today's InKing Royalty blog hop-even more than usual! Today's theme is Christmas , and Christmas is my all-time favorite holiday. There are just so many things to be happy about at Christmastime, and the joy always seems to be contagious. It seems like everyone is at their best for the holiday, children and adults alike. Another reason I love it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Christmas is in December.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">December is reasonably cold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I live in the south, y'all! Summer is just starting to hit its stride, and I'm ready to move along to cooler weather. Bring on the sweater weather!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I was thinking of the joys of a cold Christmas when I created today's card: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I used a few of my favorite things to make this card: the Large Letters Framelits, Under the Mistletoe DSP, punches, and...sequins! Christmas requires all the sparkle I can muster :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><b>Oversize is where it's at:</b> I started with a large 5" square card of Real Red CS. The letters are about 2" tall, and I knew I wanted to have a few layers of color so I needed to start with a pretty large base. The layer of Old Olive CS is 4 3/4" square, and the layer of DSP is 4 1/2" square. The thick Whisper White layer is 4 x 4 1/2".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><b>Punch it up:</b> I used a 1 3/4" circle punch to cut out my ornament, and I laid the white layer over the plaid and traced inside the circle with a pencil to mark the cutout. I used a foam adhesive strip around the outside of the circle to make the shaker portion. Don't forget to go back and erase the pencil marks :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Did you recognize the second punch I used? I used the Tailored Tag Punch to punch out the top of my ornament from Gold Glimmer paper. I used just the end of the punch - so quick and easy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><b>A little dimension never hurt:</b> There are a lot of things I feel Stampin' Up! does the best, but one of best of the best is Stampin' Dimensionals. Before I discovered </span><span style="font-family: "verdana";">SU, I tried several different versions that just did NOT work at all. Sometimes they were just too thick, or too flimsy, but none of them would stay put! Stampin' Dimensionals are just right : they're just thick enough, and they stick! I always have several packs on hand, and the one time I got down to just one sheet...well, it wasn't pretty. I use them on pretty much everything, and for this card I used both the regular and mini versions. The minis are just right for using on the Large Letters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I hope today's card has<i> you</i> thinking nice, joyous thoughts of Christmastime as well!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial";">Hello Everyone!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial";">The new annual catalog from Stampin' Up! is chock full of gorgeous Designer Series Papers, with a little something for everyone. I fell in love with the Share What You Love DSP the very first time I saw it. It has such beautiful colors and pearlescent touches that it draws you right in!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial";">I knew I wanted to use this beautiful paper for today's hop, and I wanted to make sure that it was the focus- so I made a large 5" square card to really show it off.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><span style="background-color: white;"></span>I was immediately drawn to these two pages - I absolutely adore Mint Macaron, and I love how it works with the Tranquil Tide, and pops of Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive. I tend to use a lot of white card bases, but I really wanted a monochromatic look for this card and I think it really works here.<br />
I stamped the sentiment from Love What You DO in Tranquil Tide, and punched it out with the Tailored Tag Punch. For the finishing touch, I added Tranquil Tide pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.<br />
The Share What You Love Suite is definitely one of my favorites! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's
June Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs - this
month's song is "Here Comes the Sun." As you can guess, our Blog Hop
today is filled with projects that are inspired by the joy of the summer sun.
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. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"> I'm so excited to share today's project with you! When I started to think about today's theme, the new Tropical Chic bundle came immediately to mind. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this beautiful set of tropical blooms and leaves. It's a must-have!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";"> I made these cards with lots of bright and bold colors, but this set would look just as good with some softer colors. The sentiment comes from the Abstract Impressions stamp set- I love the beautiful fonts and I knew it would be perfect for these cards. Behind the flower clusters I used the square and circle from Swirly Frames set and embossed in silver and gold. I finished the cards with the new set of glitter enamel dots. They are some of my favorite embellishments! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I made four of today's cards because I have several well-overdue thank you notes to send out. I hope the recipients enjoy these bright and cheery cards (and maybe it helps them to forget they received them so late!) I love that we can create beautiful cards and gifts for those we love, and to show our appreciation. Nothing says you care like a gift made by hand from the heart<3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I'm entering them in the <a href="http://www.global-design-project.com/" target="_blank">GDP #143</a> this week. Don't forget to stop by and check out all the awesome inspiration!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial;">Hello Everyone!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial;">For today's blog hop, we were to pick a "B", and I chose Birthday. It's always good to have a stack of birthday cards on hand (especially if you're as forgetful as I am).</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial;">A great way to build that stack is using the new Memories and More Cards and Envelopes. There's a small and a large size set, perfect for using with the Memories and More card packs. What a great way to make a quick stack of cards!</span><br />

I next added a small die cut card, that I had flipped over and sponged in Night of Navy.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial;">I added the sentiments from Sunshine Sayings on Vellum and adhered over the small cards. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial;">It's easier to see in person, but the Mint Macaron stamped sentiments say "one more year of wonderful" around the Happy Birthday in Night of Navy.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial;">I used my Dark Night of Navy Stampin' Blend marker to color some Pearl Basic jewels that I added for a little extra bling. I then used Stampin' Dimensionals to attach the panel to a pre-made base from the Large Memories and More Cards and Envelopes.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial;">I like that the Memories and More cards are great for more than just memory keeping, I really love when its so easy to find multiple uses for a product. I hope you try out making your own stack of cards with your favorite Memories and More card pack!</span><br />

<br />
This week at <a href="http://www.global-design-project.com/" target="_blank">Global Design Project</a> is one of my favorite challenges : CASE the designer! I'm even more excited because we are CASEing the amazing Brian King. As Brian would say : How fun!!<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at Brian's inspiring card:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9E-0PE1V773Uwtlhe8X75J4sSwM2UrMfJVvjpqamXEnbPk6ndwLjm1UXC1V6sk2A2ZqXXApV15gYVcOMxF3xNJB58lDmz3LJRiK-87HHsFhE41nQD6akT6EXdC_CN_-TWzrjnmy7eAufJ/s1600/GDP140_Brian_King.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="796" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9E-0PE1V773Uwtlhe8X75J4sSwM2UrMfJVvjpqamXEnbPk6ndwLjm1UXC1V6sk2A2ZqXXApV15gYVcOMxF3xNJB58lDmz3LJRiK-87HHsFhE41nQD6akT6EXdC_CN_-TWzrjnmy7eAufJ/s400/GDP140_Brian_King.jpg" width="301" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't that lovely? When you CASE a project, you can find inspiration in the colors, layout, theme...whatever strikes your fancy. For my card today, I mostly focused on the layout. I like how the flower on his card was angled off to the left, and the bold sentiment to the right. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My card:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My background is watercolored in Soft Sea Foam and Coastal Cabana. I really love those colors, and together they make a beautiful ocean background. I used the sand spatter stamp from Magical Mermaid and crumb cake ink to make the ocean floor, stamping off once. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
I used my handy Stamparatus to stamp my octopus first in Lemon Lime Twist. Then I inked up the stamp in Granny Apple Green and blotted it randomly before stamping again. I wanted just a little more depth to him, and I like the way he turned out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had originally cut the algae from Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green cardstocks, but when I put them on the card I felt they were a touch too dark. So I cut them again from Vellum and Whisper White and used my sponge daubers to give it a softer color. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The bold sentiment was stamped in Gorgeous Grape which is my favorite Stampin' Up purple ever. Like, ever ever. It is indeed gorgeous! I wanted the boldness but I didn't want a flat black in my softly colored ocean scene. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The finishing touches were some basic pearls and Crumb Cake twine from the Nature's Twine collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you enjoyed today's card, and stop by the GDP to check out all the other amazing CASEs of the King!</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's
May Blog Hop! We are grinning from ear-to-ear with excitement over all the
amazing, new products from Stampin' Up!'s 2018 Annual Catalog - and you're
going to love what we are sharing today. Today's Blog Hop is filled with
projects that offer sneak peeks at new products from the upcoming catalog. What
fun! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the
list at the base of this post. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Hey Everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I'm really excited about this month's blog hop theme "I Gotta Feeling" because it means I get to work with all my new goodies! I just a got a new box of fun supplies on Monday, so I knew exactly where I wanted to start...with the beautiful new color Gorgeous Grape :)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbx5SJaBjxLXOYesTwOXqnenn7auK1D1wFkNK_8kcyXcn-6yKd9UUZ1JVWhnpUM-4bFZg_kXjzGD_U-r6WAAQOB6ks-w8sVMHcqXEcq-KIGs3lm20r63vw7dddXhuKO-xPKdKukqUMOxgx/s1600/Watermarked%25282018-05-15-2321%2529%255B128%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="460" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbx5SJaBjxLXOYesTwOXqnenn7auK1D1wFkNK_8kcyXcn-6yKd9UUZ1JVWhnpUM-4bFZg_kXjzGD_U-r6WAAQOB6ks-w8sVMHcqXEcq-KIGs3lm20r63vw7dddXhuKO-xPKdKukqUMOxgx/s640/Watermarked%25282018-05-15-2321%2529%255B128%255D.jpg" width="460" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Purple is my absolute favorite color, and I love that we now have a nice, bright purple in Gorgeous Grape. I see me using this ALOT on pretty much anything I can use it on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">One of my favorite colors to pair with purple is green, and I knew the new Granny Apple Green would pair up perfectly with Gorgeous Grape. They're both bright, vibrant colors and they are a match made in heaven.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Unfortunately it's been overcast and rainy here so I had terrible indoor light that isn't doing these colors justice, but when I get a little sunshine again I'll be sure to update with better pictures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I used a new background stamp called Handwritten. I used my stamparatus to add my versamark that I inked up only in the center, then I heat embossed it in white and did watercolor wash of Granny Apple Green over it. The sentiment is from the new set Detailed with Love. It has a beautiful font, and it coordinates with the Detailed Trio Punch which is one of my favorite new things from the new catalog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">I hope you like todays color combo, and give it a try for your next project. I'm going to try Highland Heather with Lemon Lime Twist next...I gotta feeling they're going to get along great.</span><br />

<br />
Today we are going into my secret vault of retired amazingness to make a Mother's Day explosion box really shine!<br />
What's an explosion box, you may ask?<br />
Only one of the coolest, most over-the-top cards that is bound to wow a recipient!<br />
I discovered these cool card/gift hybrids a couple years back while I was #Pinteresting (I'm not sure if this is actually what it's called, but it should be- let's make it happen). From simple to mind-blowingly detailed, there is an explosion box for every occasion. They vary in size and layers, but the most common is a 4" square box.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPDurgpxGmmGgDvuXfeiZZ5VVBP6KiHvfra5zx8bBuZ91adzbET428GL1GSnIAtGPpiQ8zU66xMV1WH6JaFPo5vVkPRHAee7lRULtN1M7rQoPWV5hnTxSoAX7PUpiQMPp67dkkDkZ2_lF8/s1600/Watermarked2%25282018-05-14-1848%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="476" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPDurgpxGmmGgDvuXfeiZZ5VVBP6KiHvfra5zx8bBuZ91adzbET428GL1GSnIAtGPpiQ8zU66xMV1WH6JaFPo5vVkPRHAee7lRULtN1M7rQoPWV5hnTxSoAX7PUpiQMPp67dkkDkZ2_lF8/s320/Watermarked2%25282018-05-14-1848%2529.JPG" width="238" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cute, right? Looks like a really nice gift box that could hold some sweet treats, so you remove the lid to see what's inside, and...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBhT2_TJwSkZ8HduccbkUk3V3Fa7T8dwdy39y26bdFgXE1Xk6Fc9UZRDMURLW_R8O_mqU2CUwwCwKkou-1gMf5vSNvr1jAqfdLM4tq5U6rK6wO2W8ZQSsnHTIFaYklEMzH5tkqBYpcrc3T/s1600/Watermarked1%25282018-05-14-1847%2529-2%255B126%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="560" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBhT2_TJwSkZ8HduccbkUk3V3Fa7T8dwdy39y26bdFgXE1Xk6Fc9UZRDMURLW_R8O_mqU2CUwwCwKkou-1gMf5vSNvr1jAqfdLM4tq5U6rK6wO2W8ZQSsnHTIFaYklEMzH5tkqBYpcrc3T/s400/Watermarked1%25282018-05-14-1847%2529-2%255B126%255D.jpg" width="350" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ta-Da! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've never failed to get an appreciative gasp when I've presented one of these...they are a crowd pleaser :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Features:</b> This box really shines with the stunning Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper- I have fallen in love with this gorgeous collection of paper with silver foil accents. Every page is so beautiful, I had a hard time cutting it- but I did. Because you shouldn't keep this much beauty to yourself, you should share it far and wide! #sharingiscaringyall #idontwannahoardnomore </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sweet Soiree DSP may be retiring, but the leaf punch lives on, and I love how easy it is to add texture and dimension to a project with it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Gotta have it all :</b> I used the Make A Difference stamp set to custom design my greeting, and it was totally worth it to individually stamp each letter. I love the font and the ability to create any sentiment you wish! I got my stamp set during the early release of the Share What You Love suite...and of course I had to have it all! The bundle included Make a Difference and Love What You Do stamp sets, Share What You Love DSP and coordinating cardstock, matching ribbon and pearls and so much more. It's everything you need to get started making your own beautiful cards right out of the box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>And a little more newness I really love:</b> The Detailed Trio Punch is a great new punch from the upcoming catalog. It has a corner rounder, a oval hole punch, and the lovely pattern you see on the card inserts in the pockets. I used all three here : first I rounded all the corners, then I punched the pattern on those edges, and then lined up the guide mark on the hole punch side to add the ribbon hole. So quick and easy! This punch works best when you press down directly in the middle instead of over the area you're using. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>The Secret Vault of retired amazingness:</b> I love all the new and fabulous products Stampin' Up! debuts every year, and it always pains me a little to see some of my favorites retire to make room for them. When I really, really love something I can't bear to see go, I send it to my secret vault of retired amazingness (also known as the big storage tub in the corner). Every once in awhile, I'll pull something from the vault when it helps my project really shine...and this time I used two retired Bigz dies. They made the big bow on the lid and the pretty flowers in the center. The flower die can cut several pages at once so it made it a little faster for me, but if you want to make similar flowers without that die you can check out my post where I made some <a href="https://inkpapersequins.blogspot.com/2018/03/pals-blog-hop-march-2018.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

I'm pretty happy with how this came together, so I'm entering into #FF0007 over at <a href="https://festivefridaychallenge.com/" target="_blank">the Festive Friday Challenge</a>. I haven't been able to play along lately, so I'm glad to be able to submit for this fun challenge. </div>

Hello everyone!<br />
My card today is a happy mix of retiring products and exciting new products that fit together seamlessly. I always hate to say goodbye to our retiring goodies, some of which I've had since I first started using Stampin' Up products-like the Hearth & Home thinlits dies. I made my first real card using these sweet and simple dies, and I really hate to see them go. I figure its it's only right for me to give them a proper send off!<br />

Who doesn't love a window box full of beautiful flowers? I kept to a white and gray color scheme for everything but the flowers because I really wanted them to "pop" and stand out. I used three new gorgeous colors from our 2018-2020 In Color collection : Grapefruit Grove, Lovely Lipstick, and Call Me Clover ( which always pops in my head as Call me, maybe - just me?) I love how they just brighten that window box right up. For the curtains, I cut a doily and adhered it to the back of the window frame, and I like how it gives it instant texture and dimension while being super easy! I used my sponge brayer and the brick mask from Pattern Party decorative masks to create the brick wall, sweet and simple.<br />
I do have a little trick for punching out the flowers. I don't know about you, but I really like to conserve every scrap of cardstock that I can, and until recently I would waste a lot of cardstock when I used punches with multiple shapes included. I would punch the whole lot out of whatever color I needed for one little piece, and a lot of cardstock was wasted. To punch out the leaves this time, I cut a 1.5" wide strip of Call Me Clover and fed it directly to that part of the punch. I had hardly any waste at all, which is a big win for me. For the tulips I used a strip about 5/8" and it worked perfectly.<br />

These are some of my favorite challenges, and this week I'm super excited to CASE the talented Allison Okamitsu. She has one of the greatest blog names ever, and she's actually one of the first demos whose work I found online when I was first discovering Stampin' Up!<br />

I started out with a sheet from the Picture Perfect Party DSP, which is retiring at the end of the month. I tend to hoard our beautiful papers, so I made a challenge to myself to really start using them up before they're retired. I love the bright patterns in this pack, and on their reverse sides are photographs incorporating the colors to match. One page has a photograph of donuts in lots of bright colors including Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Bermuda Bay, and Peekaboo Peach. So fun!<br />

<br />
These little donuts were super easy, and super fun to make. I used my 1" circle punch to make the bases out of some Crumb Cake scraps. The tops were also made out of 1" circles that I trimmed around the edges ever so slightly. I made the "icing drizzle" with memento black ink and the stem stamp from Sunshine Wishes. I used my fine tip glue pen to make the glaze look nice and shiny. I had some tiny little sprinkle beads in my craft stash that worked out great as teeny sprinkles for these adorable little donuts.<br />
You may think the sentiment looks a little familiar if you're a Paper Pumpkin subscriber...it's from the May 2017 Sprinkled with Love kit. I love getting my Paper Pumpkin on my doorstep every month, and I love when I can find a new project to use those stamp sets:)<br />

Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope you check out all the other great cards at the Global Design Project!<br />

Have a magical day!<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's
April Blog Hop! This year's hops are themed around some of our favorite songs.
Today's hop pulls inspiration from B.B. King's song "Let the Good Times
Roll." How fun is that?! We've created projects that either feature images
with wheels (cars, wagons, bikes) or celebrate good times. We are excited to
share our projects with you. After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to
the next person on the list at the base of this post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Today I'm sharing a card I made featuring the beautiful Bundle of Love Specialty DSP. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have a tendency to hoard all my beautiful paper - I'm pretty sure I'm far from alone :) This DSP is a beautiful collection of Very Vanilla with pink, blue and shiny gold. It's perfect for elegant cards and gifts, or fancy prams...which is what I made for you today.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";">The pram is made using the largest circle in the Layering Circles Framelits, cut in half. I cut a piece of the vanilla/gold paper into a strip measuring 1.5" x 6", which I then scored every quarter inch and folded accordion-style to make the canopy. The wheels are made using the smallest circle from the framelits, the half inch punch, and pearl basic jewels.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><b>Sneak Peek!</b> You may not recognize the greeting stamped on the front...it's from a brand new stamp set from the upcoming Annual Catalog! It's called Animal Outing, and it's one of my favorites so far. It's got the cutest collection of adorable animals, which may cause you to overlook the sentiments, but look close, because they're pretty adorable as well. I added a small heart in Versamark ink, and I picked that out from another new set called Pick a Pennant. I love when I find that perfect little something I can use for a project :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">You've probably seen these unicorn faces around, they're on all sorts of things these days. My daughter loves unicorns and has several unicorn-bedecked items that she treasures. I decided to make this today to celebrate her being named a <a href="http://kiwaniskids.org/en/TerrificKids/Discover/About_Terrific_Kids.aspx" target="_blank">" Terrific Kid "</a> at school this morning. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial";">She loves to watch me work in my craft room, and help out whenever she can. I know she is really going to love that I made something special just for her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Not only did I want to make a unicorn, I wanted to use one of my brand new stamp sets I received at OnStage in Atlanta this past weekend. Not only did I get to meet and hang out with some really awesome and talented people, I got to see some of our upcoming new products in action. One of my favorites was a set that everyone there received called "Pick A Pennant", I knew I would find lots of ways to use it and I couldn't wait to get started!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">For this piece, I stamped the triangle pennants in Powder Pink and Wisteria Wonder directly on my Shimmery White cardstock. I then stamped two more in Powder Pink and Melon Mambo on scrap paper that I fussy cut and attached with mini dimensionals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">I made several flowers the using the Beautiful Bouquet Bundle in Powder Pink, Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral and Blackberry Bliss. I cut the leaves in Lemon Lime Twist, which is definitely a favorite. It's so bright and cheery, and looks great with the pinks and especially with the Blackberry Bliss. I drew the eyes with my Stampin' Write marker, and gave her cheeks a rosy glow with my sponge dauber and a little Powder Pink.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><span style="color: #000120;"><br /></span></u></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><b>Special Features: </b>I really wanted the unicorn horn to look more dimensional, so I cut a triangle piece of Gold Shimmer paper and took my paper snips and rounded the top, then cut little pieces out of the sides to give the horn a more twisted, 3D look. Her ears are made using the long, narrow leaf from the Leaflets Thinlits dies. I cut two out of Shimmery White CS then trimmed the tops off, using the Pink Pirouette Stampin' Blends to color the inside. I then used my bone folder to curl the edges for more dimension.</span><br />

I've been working all weekend on my swaps for Brian's Spring Stamp-Along, but I needed to take a break from repeating the same card 52 times (51 for the event, one as a backup). This week's sketch was a fun way to break up my mental fog!<br />
<br />
This week's sketch:<br />

Sometimes when I'm trying to follow a sketch, I will spend hours agonizing over my choice of stamp set. Today, I started to flip through my sets and found In The City and immediately I had an idea fully formed and ready to go. Even if I know what set I want to use, I normally change what I want to do with it a million times. Not today!<br />
<br />

<br />
In the City is an exclusive hostess set in the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog. It has 60 (yes, 60!) photopolymer stamps that can make any kind of cityscape you could imagine. Houses, cars, planes...it even has fireworks and Storks making deliveries! This is an amazing set, and you only have 2 more months to add it to your collection if you haven't already.<br />
<br />
-<b> </b>Flip it! <br />
I knew I wanted to use the band in the sketch as a road leading to my neighborhood, but in order for the cars to be heading in the right direction, I had to flip the sketch around. Worked out great!<br />
- Sponge it!<br />
I used a roll of masking tape sitting on my craft table to make a template for my city area. Using my sponge daubers to blend Soft Sky ink inside the template made a perfect focal image.<br />
- Stamp it!<br />
<b> </b>I stamped my buildings and trees on a spare bit of Whisper White and fussy cut with Paper Snips, and added them into the focal area using dimensionals for some depth.<br />
<br />
I really like how this neighborhood came out, and that it came together quickly :)<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's
March Blog Hop! Today's hop is filled to the brim with projects that celebrate
Spring and Summer. With inspiration from Katrina & the Waves' song
"Walking on Sunshine," we've created projects that share the joy and
excitement that accompany warmer weather. We are excited to share our projects
with you. After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on
the list at the base of this post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">For today's card, my biggest inspiration was my favorite things about spring: flowers and sunshine. Here in NC, it's been rainy/overcast for the past couple weeks. We even had snow! I'm ready for long days of sunshine and cool breezes, the perfect weather to enjoy outside for me. With that thought in mind, today's card:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim-jMtF2tMwu18S_g4RVJIK2bFMOchUxHGev06GShMcmFTtKBQi4CW8AMdBHX2KkipXYDluBfsZqZHUBo586yuSD9qBe7qDhfAFBuz2d02THivkTV79LL9flXX56rmSKSiab6HDnV0FJIO/s1600/IMG_1004%255B53%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="497" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim-jMtF2tMwu18S_g4RVJIK2bFMOchUxHGev06GShMcmFTtKBQi4CW8AMdBHX2KkipXYDluBfsZqZHUBo586yuSD9qBe7qDhfAFBuz2d02THivkTV79LL9flXX56rmSKSiab6HDnV0FJIO/s400/IMG_1004%255B53%255D.jpg" width="310" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">A simple thinking-of-you card, showcasing the gorgeous Sweet Soiree paper and Sunshine Wishes dies. I love when I can let the DSP do most of the work for me, and this stack of paper does some heavy lifting. It's filled with beautiful flowers and cakes with foil accents, and it's truly gorgeous. The sunshine from the Sunshine Sayings dies is a perfect addition for this ode to spring. I made this card in a 5 1/2 square size to show as much of the paper as possible, like a garden of flowers. A big, cheery garden :) </span><br />

Our theme this month is “Spring has Sprung”. The Stampin’ Pretty Pals will inspire you with Spring or Spring-related projects. You may see floral, Easter or other general Spring-inspired designs. You may be just starting or hopped over from another Pal. In either case you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.</span><br />
<br />
Spring has certainly sprung here in North Carolina! The weather has warmed, the trees have bloomed...and we had snow here on Tuesday right in the middle of it. What a crazy week we've had!<br />
<br />
Flowers are in season here on my blog today. When I think Spring, I always think flowers. They go so well with Easter projects, or Mother's Day...or any day really. Flowers are always "in".<br />

I made a little gift box using the Window Box Thinlits Dies, but I wanted to try something a tad different. I used the new Basket Weave embossing folder on the sides to make this into a basket, and I really love the look! I made the rolled paper flowers (in Pink Pirouette, Whisper White and So Saffron) using the largest Layering Circles die that I cut a spiral into and then rolled. I added leaves using the leaf punch, and added some Glitter Enamel dots to the center of the flowers for a little sparkle.<br />

Of course there is a card! It's what we do :)</div>
The coordinating card uses the Blossoming Basket stamp set. I watercolored the flowers in Pink Pirouette and So Saffron , and the leaves in Wild Wasabi to echo the box. The Crumb Cake Basket Weave panel ties it all together.<br />

I really like the jaunty angle of the dividing line near the bottom, and using any shape opens up a lot of possibilities! I have a couple ideas for my OnStage swaps floating around, and for this card I am using a kind of mash-up of a couple of those.</div>

I tend to forget to use my background stamps, so I really wanted to incorporate the lovely Sheet Music into this card. </div>
<div>
Watercoloring is a trend that has really exploded lately, and I love it so much! I wanted to do a multi color wash in the background, but I had stamped my music panel on regular Whisper White which isn't the optimal paper for adding water to. What's a girl to do? Gesso to rescue!</div>
<div>
Awhile back I saw a great tip from Nicole Watt at <a href="https://pmretreat.com/video-wow-watercolor-any-paper/" target="_blank">Pixel Maven's Retreat</a> for watercoloring on any paper using Gesso. It's so easy to do (and fun!) and I knew I needed to try it out for this card! I did experiment on several paper types to see how it would hold up, and it works great for everything but Shimmery White CS- it covers the shimmer right up.</div>
<div>
After I did my watercoloring on the panel I glued it down on a panel of black and used my Stampin' Trimmer to trim the black close to the edges of the main panel. With a border this thin, it was the best way for me to keep it straight and tidy.</div>
<div>
Instead of using a banner to make a the divided area at the bottom, I cut a 3/4" wide piece out of the main panel at an angle, which made a great space to stamp my sentiment in Whisper White Craft ink. I then used dimensionals to adhere the panels to the Berry Burst card base to add some depth and dimension. I used the medium butterfly from the Butterflies Thinlits to make the black butterfly, and I added some rhinestones for a little sparkle.</div>
<div>
I really love how this card turned out, and it would work in so many different colors! I think I may try it in some blues and greens next :)</div>
