Jul 15, 2020 | Blog Hop, Cards, Christmas, Gallery, Holiday |
Welcome to the July 2020 Inking Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Christmas in July! This is the perfect time to start planning your holiday cards and invitations, especially since so many folks are staying home and have more time. My card for today can be used for Christmas or really any winter occasion. I used the Peace & Joy Bundle (Peace & Joy stamp set and Joy Dies,) Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper, and Snowflake Sequins from the upcoming August – December 2020 Mini Catalog, which goes live August 4. If you’d like to order from the new Mini Catalog now instead of having to wait, click here to join.
After reading my post today, I hope you’ll hop around to all the stops. There’s so much talent in this group and you don’t want to miss any of it!

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Misty Moonlight card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Whisper White CS layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ (stripes)
- Whisper White CS layer cut to 4-1/8″ x 2-7/8″
- DSP layer cut to 4″ x 2-3/4″ (snow)
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Peace & Joy stamp set:
- HAPPY and AND in Misty Moonlight ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
- BRIGHT in Misty Moonlight ink, stamped off three times, onto the 5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White CS (I wanted it to be very light, like a watermark, so I could write over it.)
Cut using the Joy Dies:
- BRIGHT using all three dies, the middle one from a scrap of Misty Moonlight CS, and the other two from a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
Cut using Paper Snips:
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- the 3 BRIGHT die cuts glued together
- BRIGHT die cut stack, HAPPY, and AND adhered onto the smaller DSP layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
- smaller DSP layer glued onto the smaller Whisper White CS layer
- smaller Whisper White CS layer glued onto the larger DSP layer
- larger DSP layer glued onto the larger Whisper White CS layer
- larger Whisper White CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- 3 Snowflake Sequins glued onto the larger DSP layer
- 5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
What I would do differently:
I’m not yet used to having the new adhesives, so I forget to use them. For today’s card, I would have put the card stock for the top two BRIGHT die cuts on an Adhesive Sheet before die cutting. Then I could have just peeled off the backing to adhere the pieces, instead of gluing them. I would have put the card stock for the bottom (largest) BRIGHT die cut on a Foam Adhesive Sheet before die cutting. I also would have put the stamped sentiments on a Foam Adhesive Sheet before cutting them with Paper Snips.

I realize Christmas is over, but it’s never too soon to plan for the next one. And what would be more perfect for a golfer than ornaments made from golf balls? Today I’m sharing a Christmas card I made using the Golf Club Dies, Winter Woods stamp set, and In the Woods Dies. Of course, in the woods is where you want your golf ball never to go.

Dec 18, 2019 | Blog Hop, Boxes, Christmas, Gallery, Gift Wrap, Gifts, Holiday |
Welcome to the Inking Royalty Christmas 2020 Blog Hop! Today I’m sharing a faceted treat box. I love this little box, and I realized I hadn’t made one in a long time. I used the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper. The pearls were colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers in Dark Cherry Cobbler, Dark Night of Navy, and Dark Shaded Spruce.
Here’s what I made:
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer and Simply Scored Tool:
- Cherry Cobbler card stock (CS) cut to 7-7/8″ x 11-1/4″
- scored the Cherry Cobbler CS along the short side at 2-1/2″, 4-5/8″, and 7-1/8″
- rotated the Cherry Cobbler CS 90 degrees so the skinny section is at the top, then scored only down to the second score line (cross one score line and stop at the second) at 2-1/2″, 5″, 7-1/2″, and 10″
- rotated the Cherry Cobbler CS 180 degrees, then scored only down to the first score line at 2-1/2″, 5″, 7-1/2″, and 10″
- used a ruler and stylus to score the diagonal lines as shown in the diagram
- Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″
- Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut into 1-3/4″ strips, then cut into triangles 2″ wide (see diagram below)
- Whisper White Thick CS cut to 1-1/8″ x 3″

Colored using Stampin’ Write Markers:

- 1 Pearl Basic Jewel in Dark Night of Navy
- 1 Pearl Basic Jewel in Dark Shaded Spruce
Assembled the box:
- made all cuts in the Cherry Cobbler base using Paper Snips (refer to diagram)
- burnished all the folds in the Cherry Cobbler CS base with a Bone Folder (This is much more easily done after making the cuts.)
- 8 DSP triangles glued onto the 8 triangular sides of the box (This is easier while it’s still flat, before assembling the box.)
- DSP square glued onto the lid of the box
- sentiment strip glued onto the lid of the box
- pearls applied onto the sentiment strip
- small triangular section at one end glued onto the inside of the large triangle at the opposite end (A & B on diagram)
- folded all 4 bottom flaps in, one by one, gluing them together
- put goodies in the box and closed up the top

It’s time for the OSAT Blog Hop for September! This month we’re featuring products from the brand new 2019 Holiday Catalog. I used the Still Scenes Bundle (Still Scenes stamp set and Snow Globe Scenes Dies) on page 43 to make a shaker card. The Snow Globe Shaker Domes make it easy – there is adhesive on both sides of the rims.
S
Here’s what I made:
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Basic Black CS layer cut to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
- Whisper White CS cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Still Scenes stamp set:
- outer sentiment in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Basic Black CS, then heat embossed in silver
- inner sentiment in black ink onto the Whisper White CS for the inside of the card base
Cut using the Snow Globe Scenes Dies:
- trees and 2 deer from a scrap of Silver Foil Sheet
- hole for shaker dome from the Basic Black CS layer
- snow globe base from a scrap of Silver Foil Sheet (one detailed and solid)
Cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies:
- heat embossed sentiment
- slightly larger piece from a scrap of Silver Foil Sheet
- NOTE: There isn’t a die in the set to cut the sentiment as I wanted to, so I used a larger die and cut it twice as shown below. I cut the Silver Foil piece the same way.
Embossed using the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder:
- Basic Black CS layer (be sure to emboss it after die cutting)
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- trees and one deer adhered onto the front of the card base using Snail, so they will show through the hole in the Basic Black CS layer
- adhesive backing pulled off the top edge of the shaker dome, the dome put through the hole in the Basic Black CS layer, and adhered onto the back side,
- Snowflake Sequins laid over the trees and deer
- adhesive backing pulled off the bottom edge of the shaker dome, and Basic Black CS layer glued onto the front of the card base, so the sequins are trapped under the shaker dome
- NOTE: Be sure you press well to seal around the shaker dome. I left it a bit loose and the sequins stick to the edges.
- detailed base adhered onto the solid base using Snail, then adhered onto the Basic Black CS layer using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- front sentiment adhered onto the die cut Silver Foil, then the foil adhered onto the Basic Black CS layer using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
- second deer adhered onto the Whisper White CS for the inside of the card base using Snail, and any excess trimmed away using Paper Snips
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
