I spent part of the day on Sunday coloring with the Stampin’ Blends markers. Oh my….they are so special. I like them more every time I use them. There have been many examples of the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper being colored with the blends. That is what I did. Here is one of the cards.
You’re Inspiring, 145808
I named the photo for the stamp set I used. But the real star of the card is the Petal Passion DSP. I cut a strip of the 12 X 12 DSP into three 4 X 4 pieces. I then colored each of them differently. I was really enjoying the easy flow and no lines of the Stampin’ Blends. I used pretty much all of the colors in the three pieces. Well, maybe not the browns.
After I finished coloring and decided to do a regular A2 card and not a 4X4, I chose a simple but special sentiment to go with my flowers. The sentiment is from the You’re Inspiring stamp set. It is focused towards Easter, but I do believe the sentiments are very special indeed. So after I stamped it and debated on doing something additional, I looked at it, and said “no”.
I mentioned that I did three pieces. Here are the others. I will make cards with them later. What I wanted to show you is the background for each. The two colored pieces are sort of hard to tell apart, but hopefully you can see the difference in the backgrounds. The far right is the Light Pool Party, middle is Dark Pool Party, and the card is Light Bermuda Bay. I think they look like wallpaper or gift wrap. Wouldn’t they make a great gift for someone? Hhhmmm…
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you like this card. I would appreciate hearing your comments. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. I hope you have an awesome day!

I saw the layout from the current Global Design Project Challenge yesterday and decided I really liked the layout. So of course I will be submitting a card at the last minute. The story of my life lately! This card is super cute and SWEET though!
Fruit Basket, 145833
Who doesn’t love strawberries??? I even have a strawberry birthmark (thankfully very faded now). So when I saw this set, I knew I had to have it. These berries are extremely easy to line up the berry and the cap. The set is photopolymer which makes it match perfectly. I added some Wink of Stella to the single berry on the left, but it doesn’t show in the photograph.
I did stamp what I think would be called a “reverse mask” to do the berries outside the basket. I stamped the basket on scrap card stock and then cut it out. That way I could have some berries on the table in front of it.
I hope you will give this set a try. The little fruit pieces have a matching punch set! Woohoo! I will definitely be using that in my next card. The supplies I used are listed the bottom of the page. If you have any questions, please contact me. I love hearing from you.

Today I have used the Sale-A-Bration stamp set that I have probably seen the most cards from. It is the Heartfelt Blooms. Like many of you comment, “this wasn’t on my radar until I began seeing such beautiful examples”. Well, that was me in this case. And I went pretty monochromatic with my color. The stamp is perfect for this type stamping.
Heartfelt Blooms, SAB, 147202
This is one card that is probably the simplest and quickest I have made. I wanted something soft for a change and the Wisteria Wonder fits that bill perfectly. The Petal Burst Embossing Folder really flatters the flowers. I flicked the Wisteria Wonder marker against the lid for the speckles of color. I would love to receive this card!!
A quick card and a short and sweet post, what a combination! Thank you very much for visiting today. I appreciate you checking my posts and your kind comments. If you ever have any questions, or would like to inquire about joining my team, please contact me. I would love to talk with you.

Here is another of my cards that are inspired by my cleaning out my craft room. I have a Love/Hate relationship going on with it right now!! I am enjoying looking through the old cards. Today’s idea came from a gift tag and I scaled it down to fit the Everyday Label Punch.
A Good Day, 145873
And here is the little insert :
A Good Day, 145873
When I was trying to resize the little envelope to fit the Everyday Label Punch, I realized I need to challenge myself in math more often. Oh My!!! It took quite a bit longer than was necessary. In the long run, I believe the time was well spent. I am happy with how this card came out.
The color inspiration was the Tutti-Fruitti 6 X 6 DSP. Although I used Pacific Point instead of Night of Navy, the strawberry DSP was my inspiration. The little ice cream cone on the note is (at least in my mind) strawberry ice cream. HaHa!
MEASUREMENTS:
Base card is 11 X 4 1/4 scored and folded in half
The strips of Pacific Point are 1/4 X 5 1/2 each
The DSP is 3 X 5 1/2
The envelope is 5 X 2 3/4, score at 1/2″ down each long side, and at 2 3/8 across the center.
Fold and burnish all the lines.
When folded in half, one side is longer than the other. Cut each 1/2 side scores off of the longer end.
Miter the corners on the 1/2 sides that are left
Use the 1/2″ circle punch to make the little half notch for easier tag removal
Add Fast Fuze on the sides. Place the punched piece inside as you close so that you have easy sliding room.
Use the hand held 1/8″ punch to punch a hole in the end of the tag and add the desired ribbon.
Thank you very much for visiting today! I hope you enjoyed this little card. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

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 stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the bloghop, Shawn de Oliveira, https://www.shawnstamps.com/

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 quite a different fold for today’s card. It has a pull out insert instead of opening to the inside. This type fold/card is great for invitations.
Hanging Garden, 146239
I have spent the last couple of days rearranging my craft space. OMG!!! But I did find some old cards that have layouts which I have not used in quite a while. This is one of them. There will be more coming soon. There are many ways this can be changed up. And here is a look at the inside slide out for your sentiment and signature. There is actually room for a gift card to fit if you so desired.
This card is very quick and easy to make. I will give you all of the measurements and supplies. I hope you will take a shot at something similar.
Thank you for visiting with me today! I hope you have a great day. And stay tuned for tomorrow and the InKing Royalty Blog Hop.
Island Indigo base layer is cut to 4 1/4 X 11. It is scored at 1 1/4 & 5 1/2
Fold the card in half with the 5 1/2 score and then fold back the short score.
Soft Sky front layer is cut to 4 X 2 3/4
Whisper White front layer is cut to 3 3/4 X 2 1/2
DSP strip is cut to 4 1/4 X 1
Inside Soft Sky layer is cut to 4 3/4 X 3
Inside Whisper White layer is cut to 4 1/2 X 2 3/4
Scraps for the Circle Tab punch and circle punch
If you prefer to run a ribbon through the fold over instead of using DSP, do it before adhering the sides.
Place the pull out card inside the holder as you adhere the sides together. It leaves a nice, but not too tight fit.
Adhere the sides with Tear & Tape for a sturdier hold
Adhere the Circle Tab Punch with a bit of Tear & Tape on each side for a sturdier hold
