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.
My Top of the List Favorite from the new Catalog is the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper. Actually, it and all that is in that Suite of products! From the banner above, it would appear that Brian King loves this paper as well!! My card for today focuses on quite a few of the products, but especially the DSP.
Love What You Do, 148042
As I said above, I have used quite a few products from this AWESOME Suite. In doing so, I have a lot more texture than I normally do. Of course the star is the Designer Series Paper. As an unexpected touch, I let it be the main focal point and added a little extra with different ribbons. (All of the supplies are listed at the very bottom of the post.)
The sentiment is part of a “Must Have” stamp set as well. It is Love What You Do and has beautiful flowers, backgrounds, and sentiments. I know I say it is all a Must Have, but this catalog is really over the top as far as I am concerned and I do want it all!
One other unexpected item on my card is the lighter base color, which is Petal Pink. It is an Oh My! color. I think it has a touch of light peach to the pink. Whatever it may have, it is gorgeous. And it pairs well with other colors both bold and bright.
Thank you for stopping by my page on the Blog Hop. I very much appreciate it and love to read your comments.
I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the bloghop, Deb Cozzone . There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

It is still a great time to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I would love to have you join my team. A great perk for demonstrators this time of year is getting to see the new catalog first. Then we get to order and play with the new products a month early. For me, that is one of the best parts of being a SU Demonstrator. Of course, the discount helps! If you are interested, please contact me and let’s talk.
I have quite a bit of different textures going on in today’s card. The idea continued to evolve as I was putting it together and I like the unusualness of the outcome. I hope you will as well.
Message In A Bottle, 143707
There is quite a lot of Foil happening on the card. I have used the Foil Frenzy DSP along with a layer of Silver Foil card stock. Not finished there, I added Copper and Silver embossing, and finished with Copper and Silver thread under the bottle layer. The photo really does not do it justice. So here is a close up section.
Message In A Bottle, 143707
From this photo you can see that I embossed the bottle in Silver. I then embossed the love notes in Copper. The background of the bottle is Pool Party Light Stampin’ Blend. The foil layer is Silver Foil Card stock.. The Foil Frenzy DSP is the Pool Party dotted one. And the sentiment is embossed with Copper and mounted on a Silver strip. To finish my metallic thread…… (a play on words there!) I added the Silver and Copper Thread behind the bottle layer.
With all of the metallic included here, I still like it and the simple bottle now really pops. I hope you like it too. The Message In A Bottle set and the Foil Frenzy DSP are both on the Retiring List. I truly love the Foil Frenzy paper! It is a perfect weight for quite a few different types of projects.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I very much appreciate your support and comments.
Another Paper Pumpkin Special: The March PP was so popular due to the special gift that it sold out. So Stampin’ Up! has offered a great deal to replace that. New Subscribers who sign up before April 10, will receive April and May for half price. So 2 months for the price of 1. A great deal. Use my link HERE, and enter the code: SAVEFIFTY0418

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s January Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes will be inspired by popular songs – the first is “I Think I Love You.” Our Blog Hop today is jam-packed with projects that are perfect for Valentine’s Day or that showcase love. How sweet is that?! We are excited to share our love-themed 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 went a little “Love You” crazy on my card! This week I have been making cards using ideas and layouts from cards that are several years old. I found the idea for today’s card in a box of old swap cards. I loved the idea, so I recreated it with LOVE in mind.
Sure Do Love You Bundle, 145653
I have been going a little overboard with the bright colors lately. This is another one. It didn’t start out that way, but sort of evolved. Hopefully you can see that it would be cute in more subdued, and maybe less, colors!
The paperclip is the focal point of the card and can be used as a bookmark or attach a magnet for a totally different purpose. To make the paperclip heart, I cut a solid heart and the stamped heart using the Lots To Love Box Framelits. I placed several stampin’ dimensionals between the two hearts and around the paperclip. The two Lemon Lime Twist hearts are cut using the same set of framelits as well.
The measurements will be at the bottom of the post after the blog hop list. There are also some hints to make the paperclip fit better.

Thank you for hopping along with us. If you get stuck during the Blog Hop, please use this line-up as a guide:
The card base is 5 1/2 X 8 scored and folded in half
The next layer is 5 1/4 X 4
The DSP layer is 5 X 3 3/4
The larger Pocket layer is 2 1/2 X 4 1/2
The next layer is 2 1/4 X 4 1/4
The DSP strip is 1 1/8 X 2 1/4
Hint: I used the 3/4 ” Circle Punch and punched in the center of the top pocket layer. I then punched again just a little on each side of that to allow the paperclip to slide in.
When you are taping the pocket layers together, have the paperclip through the slit. Otherwise the pocket is too flat and may pull away from the card. The same when applying the pocket to the card.
I suggest using Tear & Tape, or a similarly strong tape and go around the edges of both layers. (Adhering to the bottom pocket layer and the card itself.
ENJOY!!!

I have a warm and fuzzy Panda Love for you today. These little guys are so cute and so easy to work with that I could not resist another quick card.
Party Pandas, 147221
The Party Pandas set is a Sale-A-Bration set. You can get it FREE, with the purchase of $50.00 from the Annual or Occasions Catalogs. Besides the panda, the second star of the card is the Painted With Love Designer Series Paper. I could use this paper every day! It is beautiful on each side of every sheet. I don’t think I have ever said that before.
The “Love” on the envelope is from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set. There are a couple of small words from that set that fit perfectly on the little envelope. Obviously the color inspiration came from the DSP. I love Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo would not normally put the two together. But WOW!!, I love them together with this small piece of paper that combines both.
The other highlight of the card is the Glitter & Clear Shapes. I used the small round ones for the Panda’s eyes. It gives it a 3-D look and makes the stand out. The hardest part of this card is cutting all the layers. I have provided the measurements that I used below.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I appreciate the lovely comments and am happy to answer any questions you have.
MEASUREMENTS:
Rich Razzleberry base is cut to 11 X 4 1/4 and folded in half for a top fold card
The two larger pieces (Melon Mambo and DSP) are cut to 2 1/2 X 4 each
The two larger Basic Black pieces are cut to 2 5/8 X 4 1/8
The Whisper White piece is cut to 1 7/8 X 2 5/8
The small Basic Black piece is cut to 2 X 2 3/4

Today’s card is a super easy card and my first Global Design Project Challenge !! I am excited and nervous. My wonderful upline Brian King challenged us to join in. The first picture is the design layout we are supposed to CASE.
You are allowed quite a bit of flexibility in your interpretation of the challenge design. But it being my first time, I didn’t go too far away from the drawing. Here is my card:
Oh So Eclectic , 143940
I am in love with the new InColors from Stampin’ Up! The two I used in this card are Tranquil Tide and Berry Burst. I think they are so rich and bright. The DSP is the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack. It is 4 each of 2 double-sided designs of all 5 of the new In Colors. WOW! They are gorgeous!
The stamp set is Oh So Eclectic and I just used the two step single flower. The flower is Berry Burst and I colored in the stem with a Pear Pizzaz marker. I then fussy cut the flower and glued it to a 2″ Circle punched from Tranquil Tide card stock. The greeting is from Oh So Eclectic as well and is stamped in Berry Burst. It is punched with the Classic Label Punch. I added a new Glitter Enamel Dot for some sparkle.
You can tell that I did not follow exactly the diagram. Instead of a ribbon and bow I just used a strip of Whisper White card stock to run down the side and behind the focal point. And that is my simple card.
Thank you for visiting today! You can go to the Global Design Project page and check out all of the cards that are linked there.
I am behind on trying out the new Eastern Beauty bundle. And I have to say it is amazing! At first glance I thought it really was not my style. But the more samples I saw using the set made me rethink my opinion. So after getting my hands on it and playing… Oh My!! I love it !! The set is so versatile. Here is my first adventure with the Eastern Beauty Bundle.
Eastern Beauty Bundle, 145308
I really like how this turned out and this design could be used for so many different occasions. I don’t know if you can see from the picture, but the petals of the Powder Pink flower are popped open a little. That is from the Eastern Medallion Dies that are part of the bundle. There are 14 pieces to the bundle! I still have not played with the majority of the options. I have seen where other demonstrators have die cut and circle punched several sheets of possibilities. Once June 1 arrives I am sure you will be able to find all of these on Pinterest.
As you can tell my card was very simple with stamping the circles in Powder Pink and Berry Burst. I then stamped and Die Cut the flower. The strip of Lemon Lime Twist DSP was just to tie everything together and balance it out. And like i said earlier, this layout would go with many different sentiments for almost any occasion.
Thank you for stopping by today! We are winding down on the current catalog and the Retiring List. There are some great values to be found there. But you only have a couple more days, it ends on May 31st.
If you do not have a current Stampin’ Up ! Demonstrator and would be interested in a new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog, drop me a note and I will be happy to send you one.
Below are the products I used today. You can click on the card or any of the products to go directly to my online store.
