It’s time for the May 2019 APPT Blog Hop. This month’s kit was designed by Stampin’ Up! Co-founder and Board Chair, Shelli Gardner. It’s called Hugs From Shelli. Be sure to hop all the way around to all the blogs to see all the different ways to send hugs in the mail. You’ll see the list farther down in this post.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Old Olive card stock (CS) cut to 4-3/8″ x 3-1/8″
envelope cut to 4-1/4″ x 3″ (solid pink)
card base cut to 3″ x 4-1/2″, with the original score line at 2″, then score 1/2″ from all sides, and cut according to the diagram below (dotted lines are scored, solid lines are cut)
also score across at 2-1/2″
Stamped with the Hugs From Shelli stamp set:
sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto a piece of a Very Vanilla card base
flowers in Petal Pink ink over the sentiment
Cut using the Layering Ovals Dies:
sentiment
a slightly larger oval from a scrap of Crumb Cake CS
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
Old Olive CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
solid pick layer glued onto the Old Olive CS layer
24″ of each twine from the kit wrapped around my fingers, then adhered onto the solid pink layer using Tear & Tape
sentiment glued onto the Crumb Cake CS oval
Crumb Cake CS oval adhered over the twine using Stampin’ Dimensionals
Assembled the box:
burnished the folds in the box with a Bone Folder
glued tabs to inside of adjacent sides to form box and lid
pattie inserted into box and the lid closed
a piece of each twine wrapped around the box and tied in a bow
I just dropped this pattie in the box for the photo, but I find it fit, and looks, better if you tuck the side pieces of the wrapper underneath it:

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.

It’s time for the APPT April 2019 Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called Sentimental Rose, and includes all you need to make 9 beautiful cards AND a box to put them in. Be sure to hop around to all the stops. You don’t want to miss any of the great alternative projects you can make with this month’s kit.
S
Here’s what I made:
A flatware/napkin holder and a card for a wedding shower. Since these were the only napkins I had with pink in them, I took the color (Lemon Lime Twist) from them for the projects. The Lemon Lime Twist card base and the Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed sequins are the only things you see that didn’t come in the kit. (I put the sequins on the box, but forgot to put them on the card before I took the photo. Oops!)
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Lemon Lime Twist card stock (CS) cut to 5-12″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
acrylic box from the kit cut down from 5-1/4″ long to 4″ long – just cut off one end of the box
Stamped with the Sentimental Rose stamp set:
sentiment in Gray Granite ink onto a die cut tag from the kit
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
corrugated piece glued onto the front of the card base
printed piece from the kit adhered over the corrugated piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals
left half of sentiment glued onto the printed piece, and the right half adhered onto the corrugated piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals
3 Lemon Lime Twist sequins applied onto the card front (Oops! I forgot to put these on the card before I took the photos.)
Assembled the flatware holder:
burnished the folds in the cut down acrylic box with a Bone Folder
folded in the flaps on the bottom end to form the holder
long corrugated piece wrapped around the bottom of the holder and adhered the ends together with the attached peel and stick adhesive (This helps the holder stand up.) If you feel the need, you can put a couple of glue dots under the back of the corrugated piece to hold it to the acrylic box.
adhered a printed piece onto the corrugated piece and the acrylic holder using Stampin’ Dimensionals
3 Lemon Lime Twist sequins applied onto the front of the holder
napkin and flatware inserted into holder

It’s time for InKing Royalty’s April 2019 Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around SPRING. I used the Abstract Impressions bundle (Abstract Impressions stamp set and Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies) along with one of my favorite patterns from the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. Now if that isn’t Springy, I don’t know what is! By the way, the stamp set and dies are carrying over to the new annual catalog, but they won’t be available as a bundle to save 10% – so if you want it, I recommend getting it before June 3, so you can save!
Be sure to hop all the way around to all the stops. This is a very talented group of stampers and you don’t want to miss any of their Spring themed projects.

Here’s what I made:
For my card and envelope, I used only pieces from the kit, plus glue and snips for the envelope flap. The box and ribbon are new products from the upcoming 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, but everything on the box is from the kit.
S
Here’s what I did:
Stamped with the Sentimental Rose stamp set:

NOTE: I glued the top flaps closed and left the bottom unglued to insert a gift.
NOTE: I used glue for my projects, but you can use the glue dots that come in the kit. I do recommend glue for the envelope flap cover if you plan to mail it, but you can use glue dots if you hand deliver it.
large rose and leaf die cuts glued onto the front of the box
enamel dots applied onto the front of the box
Mint Macaron ribbon tied around the box and tied in a bow
