Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects celebrate New Year’s Day, a special day to start anew and prepare for the coming year. 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.
Before I can tell you about the New Year card I have made, I have to stay in this year for a moment. Today is the birthday of our Team Leader, the Awesome Brian King. So I have a birthday card for Brian to share with him and all of you.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Brian!!!
Since Brian has been working from home most of the year, I doubt he has worn many ties. So I gave him several! I will share the details of this card at a later date. But it is a sneak peek of the Handsomely Suited Bundle.
Now for my New Year’s Card. I could not decide what to do so of course I began looking through the catalogs. I was totally stumped until I came across the sentiment I have used on this card. It is from the upcoming January – June Mini Catalog and the stamp set Dragonfly Garden.
This is Not At All a typical New Year card. But I saw the sentiment and that is my wish for the upcoming year. We need a year of GOOD THINGS!!!!! I hope you will forgive me for breaking the rules a bit. Since I did not really have a stamp I thought screamed Happy New Year, I consider this my New Year’s Resolution, to try to only do good things.
The adorable flowers are from Dragonfly Garden stamp set as well. The DSP is the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper and is part of the Suite of products. I used two different pieces for my “book fold” card. I love stamping directly onto the DSP, and this piece is light enough in color that you can still see the colors used in the flowers.
Here is a peek of the inside, which shows the “book fold”.
I also added a strip of the DSP on the bottom of the inside. That beautiful ribbon on the front is new to the upcoming catalog also. It is the Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon. I placed a few of the Elegant Gems around on the card. One is on the sentiment. They really do glisten a bit, but the light of the photograph sort of blends them in.
I do not have the regular supply list at the bottom because so many of the products are not available to customers until January 5th. But I do have the measurements of the Book Fold for you.
Measurements:
- Card base of Bumblebee card stock is 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 5 1/2 and 6 1/2
- Whisper White card stock is cut 7/8 X 4 1/8 and 4 3/8 X 4 1/8
- DSP is cut to 3/4 X 4 and 4 1/4 X 4
- DSP behind the Postage rectangle punch is 1 5/8 X 2 1/4
- Fold the card stock on the score lines. Add the layers on the 1″ section. Wrap the ribbon around that area if adding ribbon. Then adhere that section only to the back of the card. Decorate the rest as you choose.

I love both of your cards. You did a great job showcasing both product sets. I agree wholeheartedly we need a year of good things. That birthday card is just the cutest!
Both of these cards brought a smile today. I like the birthday card with its unexpected colors. Really cute. have that set but have not yet used it. And the layers on the dandelion card are cute and clever. Everything works together for an exceptional card Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, Jackie! Your card makes me so happy. That New Year’s card is amazing! I love that you stamped on the Designer Series Paper and colored it. Brilliant!
I love your cards today Jackie! The Handsomely Suited bundle is one of my favorites. This card really showcases how fun it is. So creative and I know Brian loves it too! And your card for the new year certainly did not break the rules. It is beautiful and perfect! Bring on 2021!
Great cards, Jackie! I love that you gave Brian ties! And the sentiment on your New Year’s card is perfect!
OMG LOVE them. The tie stamped background is fun and the book fold card is fabulous.
Jackie, Great card. I love the colors and think the sentiment is perfect. You are very creative!
I love both of your cards Jackie. The new year’s card is so pretty with the image stamped on the DSP. And Brian will love all the ties!
Jackie – Love your cards! Like the colors Bumble Bee, Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow combined. I have never seen Brian in a tie so now I know he wears bow ties!
Love the birthday card, but your New Year’s card is stunning! I somehow ordered two rolls of the Blackberry Bliss, and I really want to try this fun fold. I think that’s happening this weekend. I’m still making Christmas cards. CASE’ing yours for inspiration!
What a fun birthday card, and gorgeous new year card! I love that the inside is finished as well. <3
