Welcome to the 04-2019 Spring Fling edition of the OSAT Blog Hop! For my projects, I used a color combination I remember being very popular in a previous Spring catalog: Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, and Crushed Curry. I used the Tabs for Everything stamp set for the sentiment and the Butterfly Gala stamp set for, you guessed it, the butterflies.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around GREEN. We are excited to share our creations with you today – there’s a wonderful variety of styles and occasions celebrated in this hop! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
When I was trying to come up with an idea for the green theme, I thought of leaves and grass first. Then military. Saint Patrick’s Day is over so I didn’t want to go there. Then I thought of money. (If you’re outside the US you probably have different colors of currency, but here in the states we only have the one color: green.) I thought of making a money holder. Then I remembered the Pocketful of Sunshine stamp set has a stamp of a folded up bill! So I had my stamp set, and coordinating dies, picked out.
Then I had to decide which color of green. The pocket brought to mind a shirt I saw very recently that was green plaid, and had a lot of different greens, so I used that for inspiration. To loosely mimic the plaid, I wove together strips of card stock in assorted greens for the background. I used a Floral Romance Seal as a coin.
S
Here’s what I made:
I think it’s interesting to see all these greens together like this. Lemon Lime Twist looks yellow; Shaded Spruce looks blue; and Mossy Meadow looks brown.
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Very Vanilla Thick card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
various size strips of CS: Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Garden Green, Mossy Meadow, Shaded Spruce, Tranquil Tide, and Call Me Clover
Stamped with the Pocketful of Sunshine stamp set:
pocket stitching in Shaded Spruce ink onto a scrap of Call Me Clover CS
sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink onto the pocket
money in Shaded Spruce ink onto a scrap of Soft Sea Foam CS
Die cut using the Pocket Framelits Dies:
pocket and money
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
wove strips of CS together and held them together on the back with tape
cut the woven CS to 4″ x 5-1/4″, then glued it onto the front of the card base
glued pocket onto the woven layer
tucked the stamped money into the pocket and glued into place
tucked a self-adhesive gold seal “coin” into the pocket
