Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! Today’s hop is filled to the brim with projects that celebrate Spring and Summer. With inspiration from Katrina & the Waves’ song “Walking on Sunshine,” we’ve created projects that share the joy and excitement that accompany warmer weather. We are excited to share our projects with you. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
You know how I like to mix and match products. For my card, I used 2 bundles and 3 Designer Series Papers (DSP) to create a summery scene by the sea. The waves are from the Sweet Soiree DSP. The table is from the Wood Textures DSP. The tumbler is from the Delightful Daisy DSP – I think I saw one just like this recently in a store.
Whether you remember the song or not, be sure to check it out here:

It’s time for the APPT Blog Hop! This is my first time hopping with this talented group of stampers, and I’m thrilled to get to share, not only my alternative projects with you, but theirs as well. This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is called Wildflower Wishes, and it makes some really lovely cards. I’ve used some of the pieces to make a different card and a coordinating treat bag gift card holder. I hope you like them. And I hope you follow the hop to see all the great projects created by these amazing demonstrators.
The Wildflower Wishes kit appears to be sold out, but the refills are still available, in case you need more pieces. It’s listed in the supply list near the bottom of this post. Remember, only Paper Pumpkin subscribers can purchase extra kits & refills.
Here’s what I made:
First the card…
…then the treat bag…
…with a gift card holder inside.
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Garden Green card stock (CS) cut to 3-5/8″ x 5-1/4″
Garden Green CS cut to 3″ x 3-1/2″, then scored 1/4″ from both long sides and from one short side, for the gift card pocket
Cut using a 1″ Circle Punch:
a semicircular notch from the one non-scored side of the small Garden Green CS
Stamped with the Wildflower Wishes stamp set from the kit:
small flower image in Sahara Sand ink onto the front of one of the cards bases, and the front of the assembled treat bag (see below)
Die cut using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits:
larger bag piece from one of the card bases, lining up the score line of the card base with the score line of the die
NOTE: Since the card base height is shorter than the treat bag die, I ran it through twice with this die – the first time so the bottom flap of the bag got cut, and the second time so the zigzag top of the bag got cut.
smaller bag piece from yet another card base, then used Paper Snips to trim the bottom edge so it would fit with the larger die cut piece
Assembled the card:
folded and burnished the score line in the card base with a Bone Folder
peeled a thank you tag away from its sheet, leaving the letters on the sheet
used a Sponge Dauber to ink the letters with Garden Green ink
applied letters to the card front
applied two green leafy stickers to the card front
Assembled the bag:
assembled the bag using Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the seams, first the side, then the back, then the bottom flap
stamped the small flowers in Sahara Sand inl onto the front of the bag (see above)
applied 8 of the same green leafy stickers to the back of the thank you tag, so the designs showed through the letters
NOTE: I was careful to save the inside pieces of the “a” and the “o”, and placed them over the leafy stickers
applied the tag to the front of the bag
used an Embossing Buddy on the back of the tag areas that stick out past the edge of the bag, so they wouldn’t be sticky
tied a bow with Garden Green ribbon and adhered it to the bag using Mini Glue Dots
Assembled the bag insert:
cut one of the short sides (the top) of the larger Garden Green CS with Paper Snips to resemble grass, then crinkled it with my fingers
folded and burnished the score lines in the small Garden Green CS with a Bone Folder
glued the three flaps to the front of the larger Garden Green CS, to create the pocket for the gift card

It’s time for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “They Say It’s Your Birthday.” Do you remember the song by The Beatles? Click here to hear it!

I took the colors from the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper that I used, and the stamped images are from a stamp set I’ve used a lot lately, Happy Birthday Gorgeous.

It’s time for the OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Don’t go breaking my heart in honor of Valentine’s Day. Remember the song by Elton John and Kiki Dee? If not, you can watch the video here. My project has plenty of hearts – a large one from the Painted with Love Designer Series Paper, and small ones from the Sure Do Love You stamp set – and fortunately none of them are broken.
I’m on a ship right now (I’m actually at a live performance by Casey McPherson as I type this, so if there are any typos, that’s why!) My sister, and Candy Hearts team member, Judy Newsome, is house sitting. When I realized I’d forgotten to make the projects for today before I left, I contacted her and begged for help. Of course, she obliged because that’s the kind of gal she is. Between the two of us, we designed the card and treat box, and she actually made and photographed them. So while it was a team effort, she did the lion’s share of the work. Thanks, Judy!
