Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around REMEMBER. This word can mean different things to different people – fond memories, respectful tributes, special occasions that we’ll never forget. 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. There’s a lot of inspiration and you don’t want to miss any of it!
Remember when we thought Lovely as a Tree would be around forever? Well, this beloved stamp set is finally retiring, so I thought it would be the perfect thing to use for this Remember themed blog hop. The sentiment is from the Make a Difference stamp set, which is carrying over to the new catalog.

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Soft Suede card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Call Me Clover CS cut to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
- Whisper White CS cut to 3″ x 3-1/2″
- Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Lovely As a Tree stamp set:
- tree in Call Me Clover and Soft Suede inks onto the Whisper White CS layer
- NOTE: I inked the stamp in Call Me Clover, then wiped away some of the ink from the tree trunk and colored it using a Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker
Stamped with the Make a Difference stamp set:
- sentiment in Soft Suede ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
Die cut using the Merry Christmas Thinlits:
- sentiment
Embossed using the Layered Leaved Dynamic embossing folder:
- Call Me Clover CS layer
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- Call Me Clover CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- Braided Linen Trim wrapped around the stamped layer and adhered onto the back using Tear & Tape
- sentiment adhered over the trim using Stampin’ Dimensionals (I cut two skinny strips from the edge of a sheet of dimensionals and put them along the top and bottom of the sentiment piece to accommodate the trim.)
- stamped layer glued onto the embossed layer
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base

Great Candy…you actually made me tear up over this set retiring…lol. It is a beautiful tribute to an amazing set!

Thank you, Julie! I wonder if we’ll ever have a set called I Think That I Shall Never See a Poem…?
I really am shocked that we are losing this beloved set in the catty . BUT ….I am holding on to mine forever because it is so beautiful . You chose the perfect one of the images to feature as it reminds me of the senior citizen of the group.
Beautiful card ! Thanks for the tip of removing some of the green from the trunk !!
Thank you, Sonny!
A perfect send off for this veteran stamp set!
