Welcome to the March 2023 IRBH (InKing Royalty Blog Hop)! This month we are focusing on Flowers. I used the Sweet Citrus Bundle along with Regency Park Designer Series Paper, Basic Borders Dies, and Beautiful Shapes Dies to create my floral card today. After reading this post, I hope you will hop to the next blog on the hop, Renae Novak at Blessed by Cards. Scroll down below the directions for my card to see the whole blog hop list.

Here’s some news!
Stampin’ Up! has announced that there will be a color refresh with the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. (We already know Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon are coming back.) If there are any items from the current Annual Catalog that you want, I recommend ordering them as soon as you can, because some things are already selling off the shelves, especially ink pads and refills. Once they announce exactly which colors will be leaving, those will sell out very quickly, so don’t wait!
This is a teaser photo that Stampin’ Up! shared with demonstrators recently. I can’t wait to see it in color! But even in the black & white version, you can tell there is a nice mix of light, medium, and deep shades coming.

Love this layout and your use of the Border Dies! It is such a great touch of unique. Well done!
Thanks, Jackie!
The bold geometry from the stitched basic border die really brings this card to life. Beautiful!
Thanks, Ann!
I love the bright card stock colors you used to compliment the dainty DSP and flowers.
This color palette is stunning. I love your bravery going so bold. I need to break out these dies. They really are an amazing way to layer!
Thanks so much, Pammy!
Such a cute layout! Love it!
Thanks, Jessica!
Beautiful. My daughter really likes this bundle.
Love this, Candy! So modern, so chic! The Basic Borders Dies add so much to this project – love! I’m so glad you hopped with us today!
Beautiful card and the layout is stunning! This DSP is fabulous and you’ve really highlighted it beautifully.
Love the contrast and angles
