I hope you love the Woven Heirlooms suite of products as much as I do. Partly because I think it is a fabulous suite. And partly because I have another card from it to share with you today. This will be the last of my favorite piece of the DSP, because I am out of it. It is on my next order list though!!
As I have said before, this is an awesome set but additionally it has made me fall in love with the Seaside Spray InColor. It is a beautiful blue with just a hint of a purple, at least in my opinion. Having used it so much with the DSP, it has become a fast favorite. To top that off, Stampin’ Up! added a Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon to the Holiday Catalog. WooHoo!!! As you can see from the photo, it has a touch of shimmer to it.
Since I love the designer series paper so much, and the added beauty of the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon, I had to have an equally gorgeous sentiment. I love this sentiment, which is from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set . I believe it is great for a birthday or wedding, and maybe other occasions. And I love the fonts used in the sentiment as well. To showcase the sentiment I looked through my dies and found the Stitched Labels Die. The sentiment fit perfectly and the die really stands out on the card. Yay!!
Thank you so much for visiting today. Please come back tomorrow for another new project. Also, please remember that the Stampin’ Up! Join Promotion is coming to an end on Saturday. I truly love being a demonstrator, I love Stampin’ Up! products, and most of all I love all of the friendships I have made because of it. I would be happy to answer any questions you have if you are thinking about becoming a demonstrator. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made! And I would love to have you join my team.

I am playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #400 today. I love the sketch they have chosen. I believe it is a great way to showcase designer series paper, which is one of my favorite products!
And here is the sketch I followed.
I used the Wrapped In Plaid 6 X 6 DSP as my background papers. I chose two pieces that had Shaded Spruce, Night of Navy and Cherry Cobbler. The top piece is Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White. I layered all of the pieces with Whisper White except the sentiment, which is layered on Night of Navy. The stocking is colored with Stampin’ Blends and is hanging from the curl of the B in Believe.
This was a really great sketch to use. I hope you will add it to your file of sketches.

Today’s project is a cute little card that uses unexpected stamp sets. I adore humorous stamp sets. Sometimes they are just the perfect way to deliver a message.
I think this chick is adorable. Plus I don’t know if you have noticed all of the beautiful paper in the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper. I have used it for a couple of cards recently. It just seems to match the theme of my card.
The chick is from the Birds of A Feather stamp set in the upcoming Holiday Catalog. It has birds that fit a variety of holiday occasions. For today’s card I paired it with a sentiment from a different Holiday Catalog set titled Gather Together. You may remember I used that set last week for the Fall/Pumpkin card. You are getting sneak peeks at the great products coming up in a little over a week.
I used the Stitched Nested Labels die to showcase the chick. I cut off the top of it straight and it makes the perfect banner. I used some creative license on the coloring of the bird. To tie that to the DSP, I used the Nature’s Twine wrapped around the banner.
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you will return on Monday for another week of new products!

I have a sweet magnolia card to share today. I love the Magnolia set and it unexpectedly, to me anyway, worked beautifully with the Woven Heirloom Suite of products.
You know I love this Woven Heirlooms Designer Series Paper since I have used it a few times. But the Heirloom Frames Dies are over the top beautiful! The detail is wonderful and very vintage looking. I like vintage better than just old!
I paired the small flower from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set. The colors don’t exactly pair as well as I thought they would. So I added a touch of Seaside Spray splatter. I think it gave it enough to blend together.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s blog hop and all of the great vacation cards. Please come back tomorrow for another new project. Plus there is only another week for the Join Promotion. Check out the information on that in the updates below.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around VACATION. While many are reminiscing about their summer vacations, others are looking forward to the long weekend just around the corner. 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.
If you are a regular visitor to my blog you know that I just returned from an awesome vacation. I did a Viking Riverboat Cruise down the Rhine River. We started the trip with a few days in Amsterdam. Of course this made me immediately think of the Winds of Change stamp set for this Vacation theme. Alas, I have recently made a card using the windmill. I still had to use that set. So here is another Amsterdam memory.
One of the things I love about the various European cities I have been to are the gorgeous flowers everywhere. Amsterdam was especially colorful. And there were bicycles EVERYWHERE !!! The bicycles were more dangerous than cars when crossing streets.
I chose the bicycle as the focal point of my card but wanted a special background as well. So I picked the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper in the blue pinstripe as my background. I used Memento Tuxedo Ink to stamp the flowers as well as the bicycle. I colored all with the Stampin’ Blends.
I know this seems a bit of an odd color combination. My reasoning was to match the tulips, so I needed a pretty green. The blue for the bicycle was from a movement in Amsterdam. They are adding blue bicycle tires because some believe they make the bicycles easier to see. Apparently that is debatable, but we did see quite a few with blue tires.
Here are a couple of my vacation photos as well.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the bloghop, Robyn Myren at Songbird Designs by Robin. 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:

Before I get to today’s card, I wanted to remind you that the EXTRA days of Stampin’ Up! Recruiting Promotion is almost over. It ends on the 31st. I LOVE being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for a variety of reasons. And I know you would as well. If you have even had one thought about joining, please reach out to me. I would love to talk with you and tell you all the reasons I love it. Plus, you have some great bonuses for joining now. They are all listed after today’s project.
Ok, on to the card. This card is a simple project that would work for several occasions. I just named it Happy, because it makes me smile. It is just a sweet themed card in my opinion.
Doesn’t the bears make you just say “Oohhhh”. They are simply adorable. I almost named it “I need a Hug”! That would be a sweet reasons to send someone a card is when you want to give them a hug and say it will get better.
I chose the designer series paper after considering the bears as Panda Bears. The leaves made me think of bamboo. It is from the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper and is full of beautiful green patterns.
It may be a bit difficult to see from the photo, but I used the Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend to color the stamped shading areas. I wanted to leave it more of a Pen and Ink look. The ribbon is the Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon. It is gorgeous with just a bit of shimmer to it. A little tip on the ribbon: I cut the ribbon about 3/4″ wider on each side than the card. I then add adhesive to the back and tape the ribbon down. Now I make a little bow and use a glue dot to hold it in the appropriate place. This is so much easier, at least for me, than trying to tie a bow while keeping tension on the ribbon. Plus you do not use near as much ribbon!
Thank you so very much for stopping by today. I really appreciate it and please return tomorrow for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop.

Sorry that I came back for a few days and then disappeared again. We are getting new windows in our house. Out with those wooden windows that are impossible to get open!! New windows are awesome, and we are almost finished. So now I can get back to stamping!
During my stamping absence, a friend hurt her back simply by bending over. When I was preparing for my Stamp Club, which met yesterday, I came across the Back On Your Feet stamp set. I knew I had to make a card that I could send to her.
I kept the card very clean and simple. Other than the coloring, which does not take long at all, this is a super quick card to make. My favorite kind of card!
The thought / word bubble was made using the Ballon Bouquet Punch. I simply cut off the little “knot” area at the bottom of the balloon.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will return the rest of the week. Also I will be participating in the InKing Royalty Blog Hop on Wednesday. You would not want to miss all of the great ideas you will see on the hop.

Today’s card is my first card from the Holiday Catalog! WooHoo!! It is an awesome catalog. They always are, and each time I say this one is the best. It is true once again!
I am sharing a Fall or Thanksgiving card today. As always, the Designer Series Paper is fabulous! I love the colors they have paired in this pack. It is called Come To Gather Designer Series Paper. I have also used the Gather Together stamp set. The set has matching dies, but I did not use those on this one.
Do you agree on the beautiful DSP? The Pretty Peacock really pops, and it pairs well with the Early Espresso and Sahara Sand. Once again, the DSP takes the focal point.
The sentiment and background are cut with the Layering Squares Dies. The pieces are raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the Braided Linen Trim runs beneath the square. I taped the ribbon to the back and then made a bow to glue dot to the front. That is the simple way of getting a perfectly snug ribbon and bow!

I am playing along with a sketch challenge from the Global Design Project today. I love sketch and theme challenges. It helps my brain get moving.
And here is the sketch my card is based on. I stayed pretty true to the sketch I believe.
My husband asked me to make a Thank You card for him last night. And when I saw the challenge today, I thought it would be a great basis for the card. The sentiment is from A Big Thank You, and fits perfectly on a banner. I stamped a pretty scripted Thank You on the inside of the card.
I totally LOVE the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper, so I placed it as the main focal point. The background for the tag is from the Woven Heirlooms stamp set. It is stamped off first in Sahara Sand. I tried to make it a bit similar to the DSP instead of a simple white banner.
The scalloped ribbon at the bottom is new in the Annual Catalog. It is the Seaside Spray Scalloped Linen Thread. The ribbon comes in all of the new In Colors. I thought it worked perfectly with the colors and DSP I chose. I ran a piece of Tear & Tape along the bottom edge of the DSP to adhere the ribbon.
Thank you for stopping by today. I really appreciate it.

Hello Everyone, I am back!!! I enjoyed a fabulous riverboat cruise down the Rhine River and saw some gorgeous scenery. Not to mention all of the wonderful food I stuffed myself with. As much fun as I had, I missed my hubby and my stamping. So it is great to be back.
When trying to decide on a new project to get restarted with, I found the cutest set to play with. It is the We’ll Walrus Be Friends. I love the name alone, but the images are adorable. And one had the perfect sentiment to end my cruising with.
I thought this image and sentiment were perfect for my end of cruise post. Of course, I did not see any walruses along the Rhine River.
This was a really quick card to put together. I used the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper and paired it with two colors from the paper. They are Balmy Blue and Night of Navy. I stamped the walrus in Gray Granite and then colored it and the water with Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is a two line sentiment. However……..the Classic Label Punch fits perfectly between the two lines. So it was super easy to just punch each line out separately and then make the banner tips using the punch as well.
I am so happy that you stopped in today. It is great to be back and stamping. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.
