I am channeling my favorite racing series today. I love Formula 1 Racing and when I saw the Racing By stamp set, I knew it was for me. And I have a sweet little friend that just turned 4 who loves race cards as well.
Stamp Sets
The Racing By stamp set includes the cards, driver, flag, and sentiment. I love being able to make a card from one stamp set. The only extra are the stars. I felt it needed a touch more for the victory. These come from the Merriest Trees stamp set.
The cards are Blueberry Bushel and Poppy Parade. With the drivers in Crushed Curry. To make the flag pole, I used a ruler and the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to simply draw the line. I went over it twice to give a bit more darkness.
Papers and Punch
There are no DSP on this card. I know that is amazing to those who follow me regularly! Sometimes it just happens. LOL!!! The card base is Blueberry Bushel with a layer of Poppy Parade. The sentiment is stamped on Crushed Curry card stock and then punched using the Happy Labels Punch.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop! Can you believe it’s already time for schools to start back up?! The return to school after summer vacation is a really big deal for students, teachers, school workers and the parents who are left home alone. To honor this big event, we have created projects with a back to school theme. 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.
This has been one of the hardest themes for me to wrap my head around! Celebrating Back To School is not anything I have ever participated in since I do not have children. However, I love seeing the creative photos taken each year to document back to school. And that is what I based my card on.
Stamps
Considering the theme, I was concerned I did not have appropriate stamps for this card. Hopefully what I created fits the idea! Since back to school is a big deal, especially the first year of school, I thought that was Headline worthy. So out came the Breaking News stamp set. The large newspaper is stamped and then cut out. For the sentiment I went with the Days To Remember stamp set. It is the one like a calendar builder. And the sentiment from the set seemed a good fit, as it is a Day To Remember.
To add to the “newspaper article”, I went back to my first day of school. Apparently I was very hard headed and only wanted to wear my cowgirl outfit! So seeing the little princess in the Scary Cute stamp set seemed appropriate. This same card could work for an invitation or even baby shower with these same images. But I hope it works in your imagination for First Day of School.
Colors and Paper
To coordinate with the little princess, I needed bright female colors. Thee were found in a piece of the Tea Boutique 6X6 Designer Series Paper. From there it progressed to the card base of Polished Pink and layer of Tahitian Tide. This resulted in the little girl being pretty in pink. And to add more to the newspaper article, I added a few balloons to continue the celebration.
A finishing touch is Tahitian Tide Metallic Ribbon for a layered bow. It was wrapped twice around the card and then a double bow was added. The last touch is a few embellishments. To keep the colors equal I went with two each of the 2022-2024 Matte Dots in both Tahitian Tide and Sweet Sorbet, alternating size and color.

The card I have to share with you today is for a little boy’s birthday. This is definitely not a normal card need for me. So it took mixing a few things to hopefully get an acceptable child’s card.
Stamps
There were two stamp sets used for this card. The first is the Hello Ladybug set. Since most little boys like bugs, I assumed a ladybug was a safe bet. Choosing the solid ladybug over the stamp, which fits the punch, was fairly easy. A multiple legged little bug won over the wings of the other bug. And to give the little bug a place to land, I stamped and fussy cut the large leaf. Fussy cutting the ladybug was also fairly simple with just a bit of extra care around those little legs.
Another fun set that works well for children is the Party Puffins. These fun guys would work for anyone actually. This is the set the sentiment came from. And to help it stand out a bit, I stamped it on the Sweet Sorbet, same as the color of the ladybug, and then heat embossed it using Black Embossing Powder. For an added element, the end of the Happy Birthday strip was cut in a banner tip using the Paper Snips.
Paper and Embellishments
Adding to the woodsy, little boy look is the DSP I chose. This tree piece of paper is from the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper. The leaf of the Ladybug doesn’t really match the trees, but that is a bit of creative license.
Assisting with grounding the ladybug and the sentiment is a strip of the Natural Finish Ribbon. This ribbon is really pretty and has the extra width to be used as a layer. By cutting the sentiment strip a bit narrower than the ribbon, it allows the ribbon to really shine as well as tie everything together. For the finishing touch there has to be a bit of bling. Although black is not really classified as bling, I added a single Matte Black Dot to the sentiment piece.

A child’s Birthday card is not one of the normal cards I make. But my sweet little cousin turned 2 this week so I had to make him a card. The card was a mix of Catch You Later and Party Puffins. Such Fun!
Stamps
As I said, this card is a mix of products. The monkeys are from the Catch You Later stamp set in the Mini Catalog. Hanging from a tree is perfect and adorable. They are stamped with Early Espresso and colored using Stampin’ Blends. For the banner sentiment I used the Banner Pick A Punch with the sentiment from Party Puffins. And the number 2 is from a long retired die set. But you always need something like that, especially for children and anniversaries.
Paper
A perfect addition for the monkeys I thought was the wood grain DSP. It is a piece from the Beauty of The Earth Designer Series paper. And the Pear Pizzaz matches the leaves on the tree limb. But the blue was just a color I felt looked right. I chose Pacific Point for a brighter blue and I believe it works with the other colors. Having the number in Pacific Point helps it to stand out a bit. My idea was for it to be hanging from the monkey’s tail, so squint your eyes if you do not quite see it like that ! LOL!!!
Inside View
The inside of the card needed some fun as well. Here is a view of that.

I needed a birthday card for a 1 year old little guy. I know he would not care about a card, but his Mom loves Disney. And I remembered seeing a card making the mouse ears from the Ice Cream Builder Punch. that was my start.
I made one of the Quick and Easy Shaker cards, with the added bonus of Micky Mouse Ice Cream. I used the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch to punch a “scoop” from Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana cardstock. The ice cream stick is from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set. The stamp set and punch come as a bundle with a 10% discount!
The “confetti” circle is from the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper. I used the 2 1/4″ Circle Punch. The sentiment is from the stamp set. I used the scalloped oval of the Double Oval Punch to cut it out. That “You Melt My Heart” is so cute and unique. I think it would make a great card for anyone you are sending love to.
The shaker card is made using one of the Clear Envelopes. I cut a different piece of the Ice Cream Corner DSP to 4 X 5 1/4 and placed it inside the envelope. I then added quite a few of the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles. I closed the envelope, with the closed part on the back side and folded the edges down for a tight fit. All I had to do now is add Tear & Tape to the back side and adhere it to the card base. Note: You have to be very careful as it is a One Shot to make it right type application. The Tear & Tape is not at all forgiving!! Ask me how I know! LOL!!
Once the shaker was put together, all I had to do is add the front pieces and I had an adorable little ice cream card. It just hints at Disney and Micky, but I know that’s what it is.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will give this easy shaker card a try. And also remember to turn your ice cream scoop upside down for some mouse ears!

I have been finishing my swap cards and 3D swaps for OnStage in Charlotte this weekend. Whooo!! I have been really far behind on all of that. But I am down to just putting the boxes together. They will get worked on during the ride up there tomorrow. I will share that project with you next week.
Before I get to my card, I snapped a picture of my gorgeous azalea bush that has decided to pop out in the last couple of days. Here it is.
For todays card I have a really quick and sweet card. I have been using some Annual Catalog stamps this week and today continues that theme. I went with the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper. It is so adorable! And the Label Me Pretty stamp set for the little sentiment.
The only stamping on this card is the sentiment. The sweet animals were punched from the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper. How easy is that!!! I paired it with another piece of DSP from the same package. The base colors are Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst. They are both on the soon to be retiring list. They are in the 2017-2019 In Colors. So we have known they would be leaving us. I really do wish the Lemon Lime Twist could stay.
Thank you so much for visiting today. I will share my swaps next week. Please Like my FaceBook page, Blue Line Stamping, and you may get to see some sneak peeks at new products coming soon.
