I have combined two awesome items from the 2018 Occasions Catalog for today. Sadly both products are retiring. I truly love the Lots To Love Box Framelit. It is very versatile. And it makes a super cute little box. I have given it a more masculine look today and paired it with products from the True Gentleman Suite.
Lots To Love Box Framelits Dies, 145653
I used the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper for the Box and Belly Band. For the box, you cut two of the box shapes and adhered them together. The belly band is a strip of coordinating DSP that measures 8 X 2 1/2. I dry fit it and then creased it to fit snugly. It is only for decoration so I did not have to worry about allowing room for it to be slid off of the box.
The sentiment is an adorable stamp from the set Truly Tailored. It is punched out with the matching Tailored Tag Punch. The punch is the only item from this project that is carrying over. And I am thrilled. I do love my punches!! The blue punched shape is actually cut with my paper snips. Because the actual punched sentiment is all straight lines, it is very easy to simple cut the background piece. I adhered the punched piece to the Night of Navy and then simple trim around it.
I love the added texture and depth the Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon brings to the box. I wish it was carrying over, but at least it is still currently available.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you like the masculine version of this box.The Lots To Love Box Framelits are definitely a keeper. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.
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
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.
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s April Blog Hop! This year’s hops are themed around some of our favorite songs. Today’s hop pulls inspiration from B.B. King’s song “Let the Good Times Roll.” How fun is that?! We’ve created projects that either feature images with wheels (cards, wagons, bikes) or celebrate good times. We are excited to share our projects with you. 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 debated on a Rockin’ Party or Nostalgia. And I ended with Nostalgia for my card. In the Spring I always think of where I grew up close to the country and mountains. This brings me to pick -up trucks and fields. So my choice was from the Country Living’ Stamp set. I know I am dating myself in this choice of an old pick-up truck !!
Country Living’ 141925
I stamped the truck with Early Espresso and colored it with the Stampin’ Blends. My sentiment is from Beautiful Day and I chose to give it an unexpected direction. I layered it on Pear Pizzaz and adhered it to the Calypso Coral layer. Using my paper snips, I trimmed the ends so it is flush with the layers. I like the different type of banner.
I appreciate you visiting and would love to see your thoughts. Is this a memory from your early years as well? As always, the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.

Sometimes it is hard to find just the right feel for a more masculine card of any kind. The True Gentleman Suite in the Occasions Catalog is just perfect. It is great colors, some fun, and some classic DSP, and great sentiments. It is a winner all around. So here is my card.
Truly Tailored Bundle, 147752
I love the fun designs of the DSP in this suite of products. I am not usually into buttons, but for this I believe it really works. And that corduroy ribbon is awesome! It is soft and easy to work with. Plus it adds great texture to the card.
The DSP is where my color choices came from. The base of the card is Tranquil Tide with a narrow border of Chocolate Chip ( which is retiring). The cute sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla in Dapper Denim ink. I used the Tailored Tag Punch for the sentiment. To get the background for the tag, I adhered the punch layer to the Tranquil Tide and just paper snipped the straight edges. It was very simple and easy to do.
Thank you for stopping by today. Do not forget to go over the retiring lists I have added below. And if you do not have a demonstrator , I would love to send you the new catalog when it is available and help you to make your wish list. Also, demonstrators get to purchase ahead of everyone else!! So if you have ever considered joining, this would be a great time. And I would love to have you on my team. Contact me and let’s talk about it !!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December Blog Hop! We have a fun Blog Hop theme today – Wrap it Up! The hop is filled with projects that are perfect for this time of year – everything from gift-packaging ideas to bundling up to stay warm. 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.
Thank you for joining me in this blog hop! My wrap it up project is the 3-D gift I made as a gift. This is my first post on a 3-D project. I feel like I was channeling my inner Julie DiMatteo when I made it. HaHa!!!!! Julie is the 3-D Queen, and a great friend. Although this project is from another SU Demonstrator’s YouTube video, www.positivelypapercraft.co.uk Here is a link to her video. Click Here
Here are a couple of pictures of the finished product.
Year of Cheer DSP, 144640
I used the same DSP as the demonstrator did in her video. It was just perfect for what I needed. Any of SU’s thicker DSP would be wonderful. I changed the inner part to just Thick Whisper White card stock. I have already made a few in different colors as gifts. They really are easy to make. I cannot wait to give them out.
I have also made templates for the top and the bottom. I have not braved making a video tutorial yet, but this is one I would love to do. I found a few tricks that worked for me. I also used the 1 3/8″ circle punch instead of the Layering Circles Framelits that the other lady used.
Here are the templates I made. Hopefully they will make sense. If not, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Shawn de Oliveira at Shawn Stamps.There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

My card for today is for a special occasion. A good friend’s son just bought his first house. Of course I have been intending to order the new Host Rewards set “In The City” which would have been perfect. But since I have not ordered it yet I made do with what I had on hand.
I wanted it to be more masculine, but have some brightness as well. I believe it came out pretty well. To add some texture to the card I used the Hexagon Embossing folder on the Sahara Sand card stock. The “YAY” is stamped in Always Artichoke on Very Vanilla and cut out using the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies. The Always Artichoke layer behind it is cut out using the next larger die from that set.
The Balloons are stamped on Very Vanilla in Always Artichoke and Crushed Curry and fussy cut out. The are layered on top of each other and then raised with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The “string” is Linen Thread. The sentiment is from the same stamp set, “Super Duper”! and is punched out with the Classic Label punch. The layer behind it I hand cut.
And that is that for this card. It came together very quickly, and is a card, and a layout that could be used for most any occasion. That is a Win/Win to me !
I have been waiting since OnStage for This Little Piggy set. I have had it for a couple of days and have made probably a card a day with it! These little guys are just so cute 🙂
I know the Pink Tourette doesn’t quite look right with Basic Black and Crushed Curry, but what choice did I have for a cute little pig ? HaHa!!!
Doesn’t that cute face on the piggy bring a smile to you? All of the pigs in the set are this cute! The Pick a Pattern DSP helps the young and happy feeling of the card I do believe. It is so eclectic that it is a perfect background for the cute little focal point. This DSP is a sleeper in a way. At first glance it has more child-like designs but when you look at the other side of the paper, at least for me, it was a “WOW” .
There are extra layers to this card, but that could be narrowed down if you didn’t want it to me as heavy. I wanted this to be a really nice card and added the extra background layers to help make it pop.
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White
The Basic Black layer is 5 3/8 X 4 1/8
The Whisper White layer is 5 1/4 X 4
The DSP layer equals between the two pieces a width of 3 7/8 X 5 1/8
The piglet is stamped on Whisper White with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Pink Pirouette marker
The grass is done with the Old Olive marker
The balloon is stamped in Crushed Curry ink on Whisper White and punched with the Balloon Bouquet punch
The edge of the balloon is shaded (it doesn’t show well in the picture) by dragging the Basic Black marker around the outside of the ballon. It sort of mimics the circles in the DSP.
The bow on the balloon is Black and White Baker’s Twine.
I will definitely be posting more Little Piggy cards in the coming weeks. Thank you for stopping by today. I very much appreciate your comments.
