Welcome to InKing Royalty’s April Blog Hop. Today we are celebrating April Showers – not only is this the season for Baby Showers and Wedding Showers, but May flowers are just around the corner, so you’re certain to see a great variety of projects along the hop. You may have started the Blog Hop here or may have hopped over from Amy Whelan at Amy’s Inklings. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next. If you get off track at any point during the blog hop, there’s a complete list of participants at the end of this post.
There are two new additions to my neighborhood: a boy and a girl who were born just a month apart. And they are both adorable! I wanted to make their gifts adorable, too.
Here’s the gift box in Soft Sky and Island Indigo for Thomas…
…and here’s the gift box in Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand for Juliette.

Here are a few details.


Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Katie Ferguson at Cottage Paper. You certainly won’t want to miss any of these projects.

Oh Candy, these boxes are adorable and are sure to be treasured for years to come. I just ordered a stash of these boxes before they retire. I love them!

Love the little banners spelling out the names!!
Thanks! I love that stamp set.
Your new additions to the neighborhood gift boxes are so cute. I love the banners.
Thanks, September!
Candy, Candy, Candy – You are the queen of covering boxes with adorable papers and layers and banners and tag. I love these! What a super project! I’m so glad you could be a part of this fun hop!
Thanks, Brian! And thank you for organizing the hop!
Sweet packaging! Love the combination of stamp sets!
Thanks, Denise! That’s why I like to have a large selection of stamp sets. You can use them together in so many ways!
These are adorable Candy! The Back To Basics stamp set gives these boxes that “wow” factor.
Thanks, Amy! I love the Back to Basics alphabet, and the letters fit so perfectly on the banners of the Itty Bitty Baby set!
cute packaging is always a hit! What a great way to share in a family’s special moment, fabulous!!
Thanks, Lisa! I enjoy wrapping gifts. Sometimes the wrapping is nicer than the gift inside!
