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 list at the base of this post.
I have created a gift card holder that is simple and a bit different than my normal ones. For this one, I got the idea from a swap I received in Orlando that held a candy bar. You can be sure that I will be sharing one of those with you in the near future as well!! But today, I have a simple gift card holder that is made for a birthday instead of holiday.
Healing Hugs, 146530
And here is the inside.
The gift card attaches to the backside of the “Treat Yourself” piece with a couple of glue dots. I realize you cannot see the ribbon behind the front layer. I punched through the front and back, at the same time, using the Detailed Trio Punch. The ribbon is then pushed through front to back and the insert pushes the ribbon down into the card.
I loved this when I saw it pull out a candy bar. Who Wouldn’t !!! And I immediately thought of the gift card as an alternative. I am not the mathematical wizard the my friend Julie DiMatteo (The Paper Pixie) is, but I finally got the measurements figured out to hold the card. I was so proud 🙂
I have got all of the measurements listed below for you. I hope you like this idea and will give it a try. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for visiting my blog today! I greatly appreciate it.
One the 5 1/2″ side, score at 1 1/4, 3 3/4, 4 3/4,
Cut off the bottom tabs created by the 1″ score, except for the center one. That is the front of your holder. Add Tear & Tape down the narrow scored piece and fold together. Then add tape and fold up the one flap.
Punch through both layers of the holder with the Detailed Trio Punch.
Ribbon is 14″
Insert is 2 1/4″ X 3 3/4″
Front panel is 3 7/8 X 1 7/8 and 3 3/4 X 1 3/4
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the bloghop, Jennifer Spiller at Westside Paper Creations. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
Thank you for hopping along with us. If you get stuck during the Blog Hop, please use this line-up as a guide:
First let me highlight the Extravaganza Sale! Today begins the Tools and Inks portion. Now is the great time to stock up on Ink Pads, Marker, Stampin’ Blends, as well as trimmer blades, a new trimmer, or one of my favorite- the Simply Scored!! Click Here for today’s link.
Ok, now to today’s gorgeous card. This is a fun card to make because it involves embossing! I know some of you may be a bit intimidated by embossing. I know I was in the beginning. Trust me, the more you do it, the more comfortable you become. Just always remember your Embossing Buddy. It is named that for a reason!! And I always keep a small little detail paint brush around as well.
Merry Christmas To All, 147702
I love the simple elegance of this card. And thankfully the gold foil does the work to make it elegant, because I definitely am not!! Besides the gold foil, the Festive Farmhouse DSP is perfect to pair with the Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler colors.
I cut out the sentiment with the layering ovals dies for a different shape on the card. The foil is cut with the Banner Triple Punch. And that is all it took. I love simple!!
Thank you for stopping by today. I greatly appreciate it. Please come back tomorrow for the December InKing Royalty Blog Hop! You will find a lot of inspirations from my fellow Royals.
Before I get to today’s post, remember this is the final day of the Online Extravaganza for stamp sets! If there is a set you have been waiting on, now is the time to get it. Tomorrow begins the Tools and Ink portion of the sale. Here is the link for today and the stamps. CLICK HERE
And now to today’s post. At On Stage in Orlando, we got to do a couple of Make ‘N Take cards each day at lunch. Today’s card is one of those. I love the layout, and see myself using this often. Feel free to use it yourself!!
Bloom By Bloom, 148820
I love these vibrant colors! I hope you do as well. All of this is new items in the upcoming 2019 Occasions Catalog. So I guess this is a Sneak Peek for you. I am sorry that you cannot order it right now.
The card base is a new item. There are regular size cards and note cards in this gorgeous Blueberry Bushel. They come with matching envelopes that are white with a blue and white stripe on the flap. I cannot wait to get a bunch of those in my hands. The rest of the items are new as well, with the exception of the sentiment. I did not stamp at On Stage, I just brought the little pieces home. So I used the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set for the sentiment. Hint…it is a great set to have on hand, and even better at 10% off!!!!
One way to get these items before January is to join my team! I would love to have you as part of my Blue Line Stampers Team. We are allowed to pre-order for the new products a month ahead of time. It is one of the great bonuses of joining Stampin’ Up! . If you are interested or just have a few questions about joining, please reach out to me. I would love to talk with you.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please return tomorrow for a new Christmas card and a new 2 Day sale on Tools and Inks. Woohoo!!
I have added the supplies at the bottom of the post. Unfortunately anything that is new in the Occasions Catalog coming up, I do not have a graph of. Sorry!!
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day yesterday. I stayed home, stuffed myself and for the first time ever I put my Christmas tree up. It was a nice relaxing day. Today I do not have a card, just the beginning of the AWESOME On-Line Extravaganza Sale!!! Woohoo!!

I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving today! Spending time with those we love are , at least for me, the best part of the day. So wishes for a day of happiness, as well as Thanksgiving, to you all.
My card today is a quick and simple stamping card, #simplestamping. This was a challenge from Sara Douglass at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event. She challenged us to do more Simple Stamping. I think I do that pretty much all the time.
Falling For Leaves, 147680
The beauty of this card is from the Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper. I hate that it is out of stock. But I paired it with an unexpected soft color of Mint Macaron.
The only thing I did a little bit different here is the Cajun Craze curved branch. This is from the Falling For Leaves stamp set and is a straight piece. Since it is in photopolymer though, I can slightly curve it. I wanted to add it to the wreath and curving it as I placed it on the clear block worked perfectly.
Thank you very much for stopping by today. I very much appreciate it and hope to see you tomorrow. I hope you have a great day doing whatever you love!
