It’s time for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop for June! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by popular songs, and this month’s theme song is “Here Comes the Sun.”As you can guess, our Blog Hop today is filled with projects that are inspired by the joy of the summer sun. 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. I chose the new stamp set aptly named Sunny Days for my card. The new In Color called Pineapple Punch the perfect color for sunshine. It’s so very bright and cheerful, you can’t help but smile. And Balmy Blue makes a sweet soft sky. 

Here’s the song by George Harrison:

Here’s my sunny card:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

• Balmy Blue card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
• Pineapple Punch CS cut to 4″ x 4″
• Optional: Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card

Dry embossed using the Subtle Dynamic Embossing Folder:

• the front of the Balmy Blue card base

Stamped with the Sunny Days stamp set:

• sentiment in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Balmy Blue CS, then heat embossed in Pineapple Punch
• tiny suns in Pineapple Punch ink onto the Pineapple Punch CS layer

Cut using the Starburst Punch:

• sentiment

Assembled the card:

• fold in card base burnished using a Bone Folder
• Pineapple Punch CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
• Whisper White Solid Twine wrapped several times around the front of the card base and tied in a bow
• sentiment glued onto the back of a colored doily (It doesn’t matter which color. They’re all white on the back.)
• sentiment and doily glued onto the card front, over the twine
• Optional: You can glue a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Whisper White CS onto the inside of the card base, but the Balmy Blue is light enough to write on without it.
