I have a cute little card that would be perfect for a Just Because type card! It is the Merry Cafe and Coffee Thinlits. And even though there is no pumpkin color to the card, it says that it is “pumpkin spice season”. Actually it is starting to get there here in the south. Although to me any time is pumpkin spice time!! I love the stuff. But as I have said before, I do not drink coffee. I just get the pumpkin spice in everything else…..
Merry Cafe, 144965
This card base is the “Z” Top Fold card that I have done previously. I had a nice lady ask me for a link and I didn’t really have one. I just sort of did it myself. So I have made another with that fold and will give a little better direction on how I did it.
MEASUREMENTS & DIRECTIONS:
The card base is cut to 4 1/4 X 11. It is scored at 2 3/4 & 5 1/2
Fold and burnish on the score lines. Fold the 2 3/4 score line under so that the fold is against the 5 1/2 score line. But Do Not secure it yet
The first layers are: 3 3/4 X 5, 3 5/8 X 4 7/8, 3 1/2 X 4 3/4
Top layers re 2 5/8 X 3 3/4, 2 1/2 X 3 5/8
Adhere the bottom layers with the DSP together and secure to the base card.
Adhere the top layers together and lay them on the DSP layer to see where your ribbon will be. (I do not adhere this layer until after I secure the ribbon.
Choose your ribbon and cut a strip wider than your card. Use Fast Fuse or glue dots to adhere the ends between the folded “Z” top. Now tape or glue that top section closed , with your ribbon in between it. (This allows for a clean looking inside flap when the card is opened)
Now attach your focal point layer.
For added touch to the ribbon, I cut a strip, or 2 in this card’s case, and tie them around the attached ribbon at the top.
A NOTE about my ribbon today. I used the 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon for this card. However it was too thick for the amount of room I had at the top. So I cut it in half lengthwise. I then cut two individual strips from the leftover half and used them as the tie.
REMINDER: The Designer Series Paper Sale is almost over. I hope you will not let this great offer get away from you.

I have played with the Stampin’ Blends again today. Although with a small project it is a little harder to really do any shading. But I am still learning as well. I used Sprinkles of Life to make a little Fall Basket. I need one of these for my porch right now.
Sprinkles of Life, 139971
This is just a simple 4 X 4 card that I put together pretty quickly. I debated on a sentiment for the front over and over. I finally left it blank and thought of it as a Random Act of Kindness card. It could pretty much be for anything.
I tried to make the flowers look like a Fall arrangement, but I am not really sure I succeeded. I was alright with the outcome and used the flower colors for the card colors.
I used the Petal Burst embossing folder to give some texture behind the basket. Although I flipped it from a raised embossing to a negative embossing. The ribbon is actually Berry Burst but I believe it looks like a bright Rich Razzleberry when put together.
MEASUREMENTS:
The base is Rich Razzleberry cut to 4 X 8 and folded in half
The Whisper White layer is 3 3/4 X 3 3/4
The Daffodil Delight is embossed and is 3 1/2 X 3 1/2
The basket is stamped on a scrap and cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits

I am sure that from my title you are thinking I have really gotten ahead of myself. This card was sort of an accident. I was going to make a card with the Season of Whimsy set and it just sort of evolved in my mind as I was looking at the set. So I have made probably the first New Year card of anyone.
Season of Whimsy, 144978
So do you think I am crazy? I hope you can see how this would evolve from a Christmas card into a New Years card. I really do love that sparkler.
The colors came from me choosing the ones for the Christmas ornaments. I was playing around with the new Stampin’ Blends and ended with these colors. So then I just added the same colors for the base and layer. The sparkler is heat embossed in Smoky Slate and then I added the metallic shapes to give it a little more bling.
This is definitely a little wacky, but I like the outcome. I very much appreciate you stopping by today and I would love to hear your thoughts on this unusual card!

I have used the Christmas Quilt suite of products for this card. It is quick and cute. What a deal! This is one of the cards that I used in my swap with my Monthly Card Club this past weekend.
Christmas Quilt, 144793
The Quilt Builder Framelits Dies match so many of the stamps in the Christmas Quilt stamp set. I used the triangle die to cut the trees from the Quilted Christmas 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper stack. I also cut the tree stand and the star using dies from the set.
I pulled the colors for my card from the designer paper , as usual! I promise that is the easiest way in the world to get your perfect match of colors. I would not have thought to put Pool Party and Real Red together. But when you add the matching paper is really works.
I adore the sentiments in this stamp set as well. They are very simple and sweet. My sentiment is stamped in Pool Party, so it doesn’t show up as well in the photo as it does in person.
MEASUREMENTS:
The base of my card is Real Red cut to 4 1/4 X 11 and folded in half
The Pool Party layer is cut to 4 X 5 1/4
The Whisper White layer is cut 3 3/4 X 5
The Real Red under the DSP is 3 3/4 X 2
The DSP is 3 3/4 X 1 3/4
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you will give this Suite of products a look. They are so great together and I think we can use them year round. There is always a need for a snuggly quilt!

I have made a card that folds like a matchbook for something different today. It was inspired by the treat holder Julie DiMatteo did a video on last week. You can see her video here. We saw the treat holder at World Card Making Day here in Atlanta. Julie is the Queen of 3-D, so she went with figuring out that project. I immediately thought that a card that closes like a matchbook would be cute. So here is my version.
Eastern Beauty, 143675
Can you see where the top flap tucks behind the bottom piece? The small section is stapled low on that fold and then the layers cover the staples.
My color combination came directly from this beautiful Designer Series Paper. I had not purchased this paper until I took advantage of the October special of buy 3 get 1 Free! This is such an awesome deal. (The details are at the bottom of the page.)
I could have used a variety of other color combinations as well. And I fudged a little bit. The package says the peach is actually Tangerine Tango, but I wanted the softer color. I believe it works just as well.
MEASUREMENTS:
The base card is Pear Pizzaz cut to 4 1/2 X 11. It is scored at 1 and 6 3/8. The 1″ is folded up and stapled. The second fold is long enough to tuck under the fold at a the bottom of the card.
The Peekaboo Peach layers are 3 7/8 X 4, and 3 7/8 X 3/4
The DSP layers are 3 3/4 X 3 7/8 and 3 3/4 X 5/8

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! There are so many ways to say, “Thank you!” – today’s blog hop is filled with projects that share our gratitude. Stampin’ Up!’s catalogs (both the Annual Catalog and the Holiday Catalog) are filled with so many fun products that help us show our gratitude – and 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 chose the Painted Harvest, and matching products, for my Grateful Card. I have been so pleasantly surprised by the variety of uses for this stamp set. I do not think I would ever get tired of using it. Here is my Gather Together card.
I would have never thought I would use Lemon Lime Twist in so many combinations when it first appeared earlier this year. But I have discovered it to be a very versatile color. I pulled it directly from the Painted Autumn DSP on this outing. It and the Cajun Craze were the prominent colors in the DSP and were perfect together.
The wreath is created with only the Lemon Lime Twist for both stamps of the wreath. And they were both stamped full strength. The lighter shades, almost tan looking variations, are just from the stamp itself. Now you see part of why I adore this stamp set!! I added the speckle stamp for my berries. At first I was disappointed that I need to re-ink my pad, but then I liked the lighter touch of the Cajun Craze. It’s funny how that works sometimes.
I truly adore this sentiment! It is something I know I should think of more often. It is very appropriate.
