Today’s card is made with the Trimming The Tree stamp set. Plus there is a special promotion going on that has matching Dies for a variety of stamp sets from the Annual and Mini Catalog. And Yes, there are matching Dies for the Trimming The Tree set. Woohoo!! I will share the card first and then add the information regarding the limited Dies.
Stamp Set
The Trimming The Tree stamp set has a variety of sentiments to go along with a 2 step stamped tree. The bold tree can be used alone or with the second stamp, which adds more definition to the center. My tree used both stamps with a mix of Shaded Spruce for the outside and Granny Apple Green for the inside definition. Included with the set is the sweet sentiment. There are also decorations, and a bow that I chose to place on the inside with that sentiment.
Dies
The Dies for this set are available thru the end of September. So time is almost up on this special deal. And these dies are definitely worth the extra order. They give detail to the tree, have two different detailed tree stands, and a variety of decorations for the tree. My card used the tree stand and star cut from the Gold & Rose Gold Specialty Paper. It is a gold with beautiful details in it.
Papers
My color choices came from this piece of the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper. It reminds me of a painting. The pops of Poppy Parade in the piece sold me immediately. So it was added as the layer, but also to ground the sentiment. There are a variety of greens in this piece of paper, but I went with Old Olive for the card base. The softness helps that Poppy Parade to pop a bit more!
Die Specials
As I mentioned at the top of the post, these are additional dies which match stamp sets in the Mini and Annual Catalog. There is also the bonus of being able to purchase them as a bundle if you do not already own the stamp set. And of course you will get the 10% Bundle discount! Here are the 6 die sets that are available along with all of the information. But remember it ends on September 30th.

Today’s Fun Fold is more of a Double Card plus a bit more! It is very flexible and can be utilized as a gift card holder as well as a regular card. And with that confusing beginning, here is my card.
The Star is the Paper
There are more pictures to show the various parts of the card. But I wanted to show how pretty this Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper is. There are two layers of the DSP used here on the front. Actually there is no stamping required here at all. Simply use two complimentary papers and some pretty ribbon.
Gift Card holder
Here is a view of the small card on the front open to reveal a gift card. The ribbon tied around this section ensures the card will not accidentally fall out. If you do not want to include a gift card, a little piece of cardstock with a second sentiment would work perfectly.
Inside View
This inside sentiment and the cute little gnome is the only stamping I have on this card. I love the gnomes and colored him to match the paper on front of the small card. Also, the matching dies to the Kindest Gnomes Bundle will cut a little gnome from the DSP if you would rather go that direction.
Directions
The card base of Coastal Cabana is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. The small card is 7 1/2 X 3 3/4 and scored at 2 1/2 and 5. At the 5″ score line, cut from the top of the score line down to the bottom right corner. When folded in, this makes the pocket. Apply Tear & Tape to only the bottom of that angle to finish the pocket.
The Pale Papaya large layer is 4 X 5 1/4 with the DSP cut to 3 7/8 X 5 1/8. And the small Pale Papaya is cut to 2 1/4 X 3 1/2. For the small DSP layer I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to add a little extra to the cute gnomes. Prior to adhering the small card to the center front of the large card, add the length of ribbon behind it. Tip: Go ahead and tie the bow to ensure you have enough ribbon.

Today’s card is a second Fall Leaves / Floral challenge. This one is a from the garden flower arrangement with a mix of Fall colors.
Today’s card is for the Make My Monday Challenge. It is Fall Floral / Fauna. You can join in with the challenge by clicking on the link and adding your version of this theme. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun.
Stamps
The Jar of Flowers stamp set is one that I have neglected lately. And it is one that I do Love! The various uses for the jar are many, but I particularly love the different bouquets that can be added. For this card I chose the sunflowers. They seem to be a Fall flower for me. Plus I love the purple flowers for a bit more Fall look.
To help cover the joining of the flowers to the jar, I added a single, small sunflower. A second one is added down on the sentiment. These are from the Hello Harvest stamp set and are simply fussy cut and added with a glue dot. The one on the sentiment seems to be the perfect embellishment, which surprised me!
Paper and Ink
With knowing I was using Fall colors for the flowers, I wanted to tie in the blue of the jar in the paper choice. So I went with Bermuda Bay. The outline of the jar is Bermuda Bay with Pool Party as the inside water. But the star of this card is the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. Not only is it beautiful on it’s own, but it seems to draw the color from the sunflowers also. And I used a little scrap leftover piece behind the sentiment. It can be difficult to use pretty DSP for so little to show, but this tiny sentiment really did not put a dent in my leftovers of this great paper.

Making a special masculine card can be a little difficult. Today’s card accomplishes this with the He’s All That Suite of products.
Stamps and Dies
This card was for our anniversary. It is fairly simple, but has some fun elements and the sentiment is spot on for us. The He’s All That Bundle has some great masculine sentiments and some fun shapes to Die cut them. The dies are the All That Dies. This shape for the sentiment reminds me of the old fashioned Blue Ribbon award. So finishing it with the Faux Suede Ribbon was perfect.
Papers
The He’s The Man Designer Series Paper has quite a different range of paper. There are cars, camping, trees, and then more neutral prints. This card includes cars and a neutral. Using this layout is a great way to use less of one DSP piece, And by using little strips for the under piece, you can use up all your scraps. My paper packs end up with a lot of similar size pieces that I cannot bare to throw away. This section is finished with a trio of the Rustic Metal Dots.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop! This month’s blog hop is dedicated to leaves. As the weather begins to cool, the leaves begin to change colors and fall from the trees. 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.
My Leaves
After beginning about three times I am happy to share with you my interpretation of the Leaves theme. My version uses the Season of Chic Suite and a few other great products.
Leaves
There are two different products for my leaves. The first is the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder on the background. This embossing folder has really great texture and the leaves sort of “fall” across the card. Mine are embellished a bit with some Wink of Stella. Sadly it does not show up very well in the photo.
The second set of “Leaves” are from the Season of Chic Bundle and Dies. There are three different leaf dies used and are cut from the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper.
Layers
To complete the layers, I have the texture piece from the Season of Chic Dies. It also is cut from a different piece of the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper. This piece of DSP ties all of the colors used together. And the final layer is for the sentiment. The Thinking of You is from the same stamp set. It is stamped using Early Espresso onto Petal Pink card stock. For a final touch it has the addition of a single gold Pearl from Festive Pearls embellishments.
