For me this is a very minimal card! I do believe that is a good thing… I began with a piece of the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper. It gave me the bad of Night of Navy, with a thin layer of Whisper White. I used the new Ruffled Embossing Folder (It is one of the extra thick ones, for Extra Dimension) . For the focal point I stamped the flower from Background Bits Host Set colored with Pear Pizzaz and Sweet Sugarplum Stampin’ Write Markers. I then stamped partially over the flower with the sentiment. It is from the same Host Set. I used the Layering Circles Thinlits Dies to cut out the sentiment and the scalloped back layer. And that is that.
Oh, if you are wondering about the faded look on the right side of the card…. It is not poor photography! It is the intended variation in the colors on the DSP. Several of the Designer Series Papers for this catalog have this faded look to them. I probably could have done a better placement of the lighter area 🙂
If you love this Host Set, as I do, the only way to get it is to be a Host, or place an order up to the minimum Host Rewards amount. ($150.00) I would love to help you in getting this beautiful stamp set. And for the month of June, Stampin’ Up! is assisting you to earn even more FREE products.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s June 2017 Blog Hop! Today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects inspired by Stampin’ Up!’s 2017-2019 In Colors – Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide. What an amazing collection of new colors! We are excited to share our creations with these new colors. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Colorful Seasons Bundle, 145348
I began my idea with two of the five In Colors, and ended up using four of the five! At least I left off the one I have been using continuously ….Lemon Lime Twist.
I believe that this set of new In Colors work together better than any every have before. I also believe that this wonderful set and bundle, Colorful Seasons, is one of the most versatile sets in the catalog. It covers, spring, summer, fall and winter. What a deal!
The base of the card is Fresh Fig and Tranquil Tide. The flowers are stamped in Berry Burst and Powder Pink. A few of them are cut out using the Colorful Seasons Thinlits Dies. The sentiment is from the set as well. (This set has AWESOME sentiments!!) To make the sentiment more of a focal point, I stamped it in Tranquil Tide and cut it out using the Layering Circles Thinlit Dies. I then went around the edge with the Tranquil Tide Stampin’ Write Marker. I felt like this was a way to help it stand out without adding bulk.

My post for today is 2 for 1. I needed a birthday card for my cousin and wanted to do something a little different. I usually give her a gift card. That is great, but boring! So after watching my fellow SU Demonstrator Julie DiMatteo’s awesome video for a money envelope, I got to work. You can see Julie’s great video HERE. Julie is The Paper Pixie. She is the best at videos.
Once I had Julie’s idea in my head, I had the idea…..gift cards are great, but so is Chocolate!!! I adapted the money envelope to fit a full size Hershey candy bar. Now my cousin gets money and chocolate. I do believe that is a win/win!
Here are my pair of ideas.
Happy Birthday,143700
You may recognize the boots from a previous post I did that was a 4X4 card. You can see it HERE. The card is very similar. But she loves cowboy boots and horses, and all things country. I just knew that’s the card I had to do for her.
The card and the Money/Candy holder are Sahara Sand and Basic Black card stock. The Designer Series Paper is from Pick A Pattern DSP pack. And yes, I know I have used it in almost every card for the last week! But look back and see how different the paper is. This is probably my most favorite DSP ever, and originally I thought it was more for children…..Silly, Silly, Me !!!
For the card, I tore the Very Vanilla card stock and sponged the edges with Soft Suede ink. The boots are colored with ink pads and the aqua painter. The lasso is made from Linen Thread and attached with a rolled up glue dot.
The Happy Birthday is a Must Have die cut! It is so simple and easy but really packs a Wallop! Alway remember to attach the Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheet to the card stock before you cut it with the Big Shot though. That way there is no messy glue. You just peel off the back and stick it down. For the Chocolate Envelope I used Julie’s directions and then stamped it with the splatter from Touches of Texture stamp set. The only difference from Julie’s envelope is the belly band. I added 1/2″ to the length of the band due to the thickness of the candy bar versus a check or dollar bill. The bow is from Julie’s video as well.
Remember that we alway say CASE ! That means Copy And Share Everything! You can copy something exactly or use it as the basis for an idea. It is always nice to give credit to the person you got the idea from too.
Thank You for stopping by today. Please do not forget to watch Julie’s video (click above or go to thepaperpixie.com to see exactly how to create this cute envelope and bow!

My wonderful Stampin’ Up! friend Julie DiMatteo asked her friends to make a card for her Dad’s birthday. Hopefully he will have a mailbox full of birthday wishes this month. I am sharing the card I made for him today.
My beginning for this card was this lovely old truck from Country Livin’ stamp set. Then I asked myself how I could showcase it since it was for a special person. Of course it had to be red! It seems all the old trucks you see seem to be a faded red color. From there I quickly came up with a base of Crumb Cake , Real Red, and Old Olive. A great “Go To” color combination.
I have not used this layout in some time and I wonder why? It is so simple and really shows off with any stamp set. All you do is start with a panel that can be easily divided into thirds. That is all it takes.
The banner is from Banners For You and the “Happy Birthday” is from Happy Birthday Gorgeous. I fussy cut the banner. The truck is colored with Watercolor Pencils and an Aqua Painter.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I love to read your comments.
This is my first card with the Ribbon Of Courage stamp set. There is a bundle with a matching die cut for the ribbon. This set is Patty Bennett’s Million Dollar Achievement set. When a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator reaches one million dollars in sales, they get to help create a stamp set. WOW !!! I believe this set will touch everyone and be used for every program that has a colored ribbon associated with it. But enough rambling, here is my card.
Ribbon of Courage, 143855
I really love how this card turned out. The coloring of the ribbon took a few minutes, but I feel was well worth the time. I colored with Watercolor Pencils and then went over each color with the blender pen. I am not sure which is the star of the show though. The ribbon or the Ruffled Embossing folder. Oh My! It looks good in the picture but is just beautiful in person.
The Ruffled Embossing Folder is a new item in this catalog. It is one of the much thicker folders so takes a little different approach when you use it. Because it gives such dimension to the card stock, you should spritz it with a little bit of water before placing it in the folder. Once in the folder remember that you need a different “sandwich” for your Big Shot. You use the Multi-purpose platform, the embossing folder, and a Top cutting pad. That is all. You do not have a cutting pad between the platform and the embossing folder when you use these thicker embossing folders.
The ribbon is cut out using the Layering Ovals Thinlit Dies. The Marina Mist layer is cut using the next size of the Layering Oval Dies. For a little extra zing, I added some Crushed Curry Mini Chevron Ribbon. I stamped “Courage” from the stamp set and punched it out using the Classic Label Punch. And for some bling I placed a purple heart from the Regals Enamel Shapes.
I hope you like today’s card. I very much appreciate your comments. The June Host Special is still in effect if you would like to host a party or just place an order. I would be happy to assist you.

My card for today is Bright and Loud!! I have used the Pick A Pattern Designer Series Paper again and chosen a sheet that is pretty “Loud” on both sides. And I have paired it with the much quieter Label Me Pretty Bundle. The card layers are more than I usually do, but the DSP demanded layers, So I gave it layers .
Label Me Pretty Bundle, 145305
Doesn’t this scream “I’m so pretty !!”? That is what I think of every time I see the Label Me Pretty. It will not get out of my head. Haha !! But joking aside, this Pick A Pattern DSP has something for everyone. There are pages that seem more for children (until you see cards that have been made with it), some that are eye popping, some that are eclectic, etc. It is just perfect! The DSP made it easy to choose the Label colors, Yay!
I began with Whisper White Thick Card Stock cut to 4 1/4 X 11
The DSP is cut to 4 1/8 X 5 3/8
The Whisper White is cut to 3 5/8 X 4 7/8
The DSP is cut to 3 7/16 X 4 11/16
The DSP Band is cut to 7/8 X 3 9/16
The larger label is stamped in Crushed Curry and punched with the Pretty Label Punch
The small label is stamped in Flirty Flamingo and punched with the 1 3/4 Circle Punch and raised with a dimensional.
And that is this Pretty but Loud card. I hope you like it. Thank you for your comments. If you would like to purchase any of these items, now is a great time to do so. June has a special Host Rewards. Check out the photos below.

I am playing along with the FabFriday’s color challenge – you can see the other projects HERE

This is my first post with this wonderful Crafting Forever stamp set. I think it is so appropriate for any crafter. And I am sure you know other crafting folks to send a card to.
I used the Baby Wipe Technique again. This time though it is on Glossy White Card Stock, and I just touched it to the card stock. It is a different look, but one I really like. I believe it shows off all of the new In Colors. The Glossy White card stock is an old item that was discontinued a few years ago and now is back. It is wonderful base for a variety of techniques.
I wanted to make a different background and couldn’t choose a color. So I thought of the baby wipe technique and managed to use all of them. I believe this is the first time that I have really liked all the colors in a new set.
The background technique reminds me of my stamp surface after a few hours of playing! Can anyone relate to that? It was a fun experiment to try and not as messy as it looks either. I took a baby wipe and wadded it up then touched it to the ink pad, then to the card stock. I re-wadded it each time so that I didn’t mess up my ink pads or combine the colors on the card stock. I think I only used 2 baby wipes though. I did use all 5 of the new In Colors. The Powder Pink just doesn’t show up as well in the photo.
The jar of tools was colored with markers and then cut out using the Layering Ovals Thinlits. And the sentiment, which I thoroughly agree with, was stamped in Tranquil Tide and cut out with the Stitched Shape Thinlits. Both are raised with our awesome dimensionals.

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.

Welcome to the June 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month’s theme, Pick a “B”, features projects inspired by Babies, Birthdays and Brides to name few. You may just get a glimpse of new catalog products while you hop with us today.
Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.
I chose a Birthday card for my “B” of the day. I may be over-using the new In Colors from Stampin’ Up!, but every year they just get better. (As does the catalog) Wow on everything in this new catalog!! So here is my new Birthday Card:
Happy Birthday Gorgeous, 143662
I love how this card turned out. I think it is bright and happy which equals a SMILE. That is my goal. I used two of the new In Colors with Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist. You are going to see a lot of the Lemon Lime Twist! I am in love and find myself continually reaching for it. Quite a few of the items I used today are new to this catalog. WOW!
For this card the base is Berry Burst card stock at 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 folded in half.
The Lemon Lime Twist layer is 5 1/4 X 4
The Whisper White layer is 5 1/8 X 3 7/8 and embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder
The Lemon Lime scalloped oval is from the Layering Ovals Framelits
Happy Birthday is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then cut with the corresponding Layering Oval.
The balloons are stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst and punched with the Balloon Bouquet Punch. I used the In Color Stampin’ Write Markers to draw the string for the balloons.
The balloons and Happy Birthday are from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.
The glitter dots are the new Glitter Enamel Dots and are the palest of the berry color
Thanks again for hopping with the Stampin’ Pretty Pals today. Take a minute to mark your calendar for our next hop on July 12th. We’re having a pattern party! Now hop along using the Blog Hop Line-up below. See you on July 12th for the next Pals Blog Hop!
The card I created for today reminds me of some jeans I had in the late 60’s. I was probably about 12 years old and can still see them in my mind. HaHa !!
Happy Birthday Gorgeous Bundle, 145301
Can you picture that print and colors on a pair of white jeans? Now you are laughing with me! And yes, I have used Lemon Lime Twist again. I am addicted!!
I hope you will join with me in loving this wonderful bundle. This is the Happy Birthday Gorgeous Bundle. It is the stamp set and the Happy Birthday Thinlits. It is a wonderful combination.
To go perfectly with the Happy Birthday Thinlits is the Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheets. If you are like me, I could never really get the hang of using the Fine Tip Glue Pen on the little tiny words and not make a mess. Yes I used it but the adhesive sheets are SOOOOOO much easier. I cut a piece of the adhesive sheet a little larger than the Happy Birthday Die and adhere it to the scrap of paper I am using and that it that. Once you have the die cut, just peel off the paper and stick it to your card. No Mess and only smiles!
I got a little out of order on the card in talking about the adhesive sheets. Oops! I used the Touches of Texture speckle stamp for some background on my card. I used Lemon Lime Twist ink and then stamped off to soften it a little. I then stamped the outline of the flowers in Berry Burst ink. Since the set is photopolymer it is so easy to line up the inside of the flower and it is stamped in Powder Pink ink. The Powder Pink is the perfect pink. It is still a pretty pink but quite a bit darker than Pink Pirouette. It really does show up.
This is such a quick card and would be easy to make multiples of. This background could be done on a full sheet of Whisper White card stock and then cut into the layers that you need for later. My tip of the day!
