I have a fun card to share with you featuring the Sweet Candy Cane Bundle. Plus it can be used to hold a gift card as well! That is a win!
Fold
This is an “oldy but goody” type fold. In the past the matchbook cards were small and used for treats or a note. I made this one full size. And as I said at the top of the page, it allows for a gift card to be tucked inside. Here is a view of the open card.
This view shows the closure flap at the bottom clearer than the closed card. I stapled the flap about 1/2″ in from each end and approximately in the middle going top to bottom. That allows the middle section to be open and room for a gift card to be slipped in. I stapled first with the smooth part of the staple on the back. The bumps are on the front and covered with card stock and DSP. This card base is a piece of Pool Party cut to 4 1/4 X 11 and scored at 3/4 and 6 1/8.
Candy Cane
The sweet candy cane on the front is from the Sweet Candy Canes stamp set. How appropriate is that? LOL!! If you are unfamiliar with this stamp set, it contains two candy canes facing opposite directions, leaves, and fun sentiments. Plus the matching Dies are the Candy Canes Dies, and it contains the two directional candy cane dies. This gives a lot more possibilities without trying to mirror stamp.
The sentiment, front and inside, are from the candy cane set as well. And the pretty sentiment layer is a great find in the Potted Succulent Dies. Sometimes I forget to look through other die sets for great shapes to use. For a little more pop, I added two of the little leaves from the Candy Canes Dies on the front. They are cut from Granny Apple Green card stock. These little leaves are also stamps in the set, as are the ones next to the inside sentiment. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this bundle!
Paper
I know I have been using this wonderful paper pack quite a lot lately. But it is a huge pack and is great for cards for classes or multiples. This piece is a favorite with all the bright colors to choose from to coordinate colors. It is the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper. And there are “anytime” papers as well as all of the Fall holidays. The strip of DSP across the closure flap is the flip side of this piece. How convenient is that!!
SALE
Remember that the Seasonal Sale is ongoing through the 18th! There are over 150 products from the Annual Catalog discounted here. Plus you can get bundles cheaper than the regular bundle price by ordering the stamp and dies separately! Please keep that in mind!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s November Blog Hop! November is a time of gratitude and thanksgiving, and we’ve made projects that say “thanks!” to special people in our lives. 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.
My card for today says Thanks very clearly! However the flowers may not seem appropriate for November. Since the weather here in Georgia cannot seem to decide on a season, I am going along and using flowers for my Thanks.
Dies
This card is more about what Die sets than Stamp sets. So I am going to begin here with Dies. The background scalloped layer is cut using the Scalloped Contours Dies. I used the second largest one. Those scallops draw your eye in and show off more of the DSP behind it.
The sentiment is from the Amazing Thanks Dies. What better way to say Thanks than in large double layer script form! And since that is such a pretty and great statement piece on the card, I simply tucked in some flowers behind it.
The two flowers and bee , plus the added greenery, are cut using the Honeybee Blooms Dies. White showing around the die cuts sort of blend into the card because of the white swirls in the green DSP. And it is mimicked somewhat, but in reverse, with the Thanks.
Paper
Even though the flowers may not say November, my colors were chosen more to fit the time of year. Both of the sheets of DSP are from the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. I particularly love the swirls in the Mossy Meadow layer, but the Crushed Curry tone on tone piece is a stand out!
Stamps
Last but not least is the Honeybee Home stamp set. The two flower stems and the bee are included in the set. They are stamped with Smoky Slate Ink and then colored using Stampin’ Blends. Having these items a bit less vibrant softens the card and allows the Thanks to pop a little more. And to finish the card I added a trio of Pearls scattered around the flowers.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop,Jan Dufour at Stamp Me Silly. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
Thank you for hopping along with us. If you get stuck during the Blog Hop, please use this line-up as a guide:
The die sets and stamp set I used on today’s card are included in the sale. Purchasing the Honeybee Home Bundle separately is a 30% discount. The bundle price is 10% discount.

The Seasonal Sale begins today and runs through the 18th!!!!
I mentioned yesterday that I had attended a Stampin’ Up! Event over the weekend. So today I am sharing the card I made for a swap in our group. This is a layout I have used previously and received a lot of love for. Hopefully this one is as well received. The sweet layout and fold is the star of the show.
Paper and Stamps
Even though I said the layout is the star of this card, the stamp set and paper are pretty great as well. This piece of DSP is from the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper. I pulled all of my colors from this particular sheet from the paper pack. It is a mix of greens, white, and Poppy Parade. The pop of Poppy Parade is the subtle dots. But the greens are swirled around. I chose to use Shaded Spruce and Old Olive from the choices.
This beautiful tree is a mix of both of those greens. All of the stamps used, with the exception of the sentiment, are from the Trimming The Tree stamp set. The tree is a two step stamp and I used the Shaded Spruce for the outside and the Old Olive for the inside. The star is stamped with Crushed Curry Ink and has a single Basic Pearl in the center for some bling.
The sentiment is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set. I just love the simplicity of it, as well as the mix of fonts. Mixed fonts are one of the things I look for in sentiments. There was not a lot of room for adding a sentiment. So I simply made a banner by stamping on the strip of White and then using paper snips to flag each end. Those flags do not need to be perfect either!
Views
Here is a look at the first inside layer of the card. This may jog your memory for when I used this layout previously. On this inside image, I reversed the colors of the tree and the background layer.
I know it is hard to imagine, but this tree is the inside tree stamp of the tree on the front of the card! It is supposed to be for adding depth and detail to the larger tree. Personally I thought it was a cute tree on it’s own. So I added the garland included in the set to give it more of a real tree look. The garland is stamped using Crushed Curry and the finishing touch on this tree is a bow of Poppy Parade. It is in the set as well. And now the rest of the card…….
And there is that detail tree again! I just stamped it a bit lower and in the corner but left bare here.
Layout
After seeing all of the views I hope you remembered my card using this same layout. If not, you can click HERE to see it. It looks totally different I believe. The only differences in the measuremnts between these two cards is the two tree layers. These are based on the size of the images. I try to insure the inside image and layers are a bit smaller than the front ones. That makes hiding the inside one behind the front quite a bit easier. Since that is the only difference in the measurements, I have added the PDF I made for the Cottage Rose version here for you. CLICK HERE for the pdf.

Cats and dogs are two of my main loves. Actually most animals make me smile and want to hug them. So the North Pole Mischief stamp set was an immediate hit with me. I have shared a couple of cards using the images of the cat. Today I have used the mischievous pup as well.
Stamp
I can imagine this cat sitting on top of the gift! That is an ingrained cat habit to sit in or on a box. At least it is at my house! And then all it takes is a little pup to come along and play with the ribbon. Or it could have been another cat doing the ribbon playing. But the cat is sitting there planning revenge as the pup is happily playing! LOL!!!
The adorable image is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with Stampin’ Blends. I chose the colors from the paper of course. The debate was wether or not to color the dog and cat or leave as is. I think the black sections made when stamping were sufficient for their colors. Of course that took a bit of thinking on!
Paper and Embellishments
The gorgeous ornament paper is from the celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper. It is a Host reward and well worth the price! And as is the norm, all of my colors came from that piece of paper. I chose to go with a Thick Basic White card base because of all the white in the DSP piece. But layered a bright Granny Apple Green to pop the colors. I actually thought ahead about how I was going to finish the card. When the “package” look was decided, I went with the Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon. And that made the ribbon choice in the stamped image so the two coordinate. With the busy DSP and the fun image, I decided that no other bling was needed. That is another rare occasion!
