It’s time for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop for May! Our theme this month is “I gotta feeling” and we’re showcasing new products from Stampin’ Up!’s upcoming 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. Because we’ve gotta feeling that you’re gonna love the new stuff! I used the new Hand Delivered host/hostess stamp set and the new Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper.

After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Shawn de Oliveira at Shawn Stamps. There’s a lot of inspiration to be found in this group, and you don’t want to miss any of it!

Here’s “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas:

Here’s what I made:

This card is all about the color, so the construction is very simple. It’s only 2 layers of paper on a card base. 

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

• Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
• Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
• Whisper White CS layer cut to 2-1/2″ x 4-3/4″

Stamped with the Hand Delivered stamp set:

• skirt & legs, arms & balloons, and sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the Whisper White CS layer
• NOTE: I stamped the sentiment after I colored in the balloon

Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:

• skirt & shoes in Night of Navy and Cherry Cobbler
• legs & arms in Ivory
• balloons in Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, and Old Olive

Assembled the card:

• stamped layer glued onto the DSP layer
• DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base

Here’s the hop:
