Okay, the truth is I wasn’t sure I would like the new Wondrous Wreath stamp set. I mean, could it really be that easy? Then I got to try it out at Convention in July, and I knew I had to have it. Not only is it super easy to line up the stamped layers; it’s also super easy to cut out the pieces with the corresponding Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies.
It may seem that I used two colors of green ink on this card, but actually I used only one. I inked the base layer of the wreath with Pear Pizzazz, then “stamped off” once before stamping onto the Whisper White card stock, making the leaves a paler green. I inked the second layer with Pear Pizzazz and stamped directly on top of the first layer, making those leaves a darker green. Thanks to Sean Douglass at Stampin’ Up (he does all the wonderful kits we love so much) for teaching me this two-tone technique in Salt Lake City this past July!

Sep 3, 2014 | Blog Hop, Classes, Club, Techniques |
Welcome to the very first InKing Royalty Blog Hop. For our very first hop, we’re excited to share projects that showcase the fun of the holidays – from Halloween through Christmas, this certainly is the season to be jolly!
You may have started the Blog Hop here or may have hopped over from Deb Cozzone at Deb Cozzone’s Stamping Zone. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next. If you get off track at any point during the blog hop, there’s a complete list of participants at the end of this post.
I’m very excited because my Stamp Club will meet for the first time today. I thought I’d share with you one of the projects I have prepared. Wouldn’t you love to get some sweets in this little Halloween treat box?
It was so simple! I began with the Tiny Treat Boxes from the Holiday Catalog. They are 2″ x 2″ x 2″. I covered it with various pieces of Motley Monsters DSP – all the squares were cut to 1-7/8″ x 1-7/8″ and the circles were punched with the 1-3/4″ circle punch. I used the 3/4″ circle punch to cut around the crescent on the front, just above “Happy Halloween.” The sentiment is from the Good Greetings stamp set – stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on a piece of Motley Monsters DSP, punched with the Modern Label punch, and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used Baker’s Twine in three colors – Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, and Bermuda Bay – to match the DSP. That’s all there is to it!
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Pam Morris at Tap Tap Stamp. You certainly won’t want to miss any of these projects.

Would you like to learn new paper crafting techniques every month with a really sweet group of people? Then join the StampCandy Stamp Club!
We meet on the first Wednesday of each month (unless otherwise noted.) There are two meeting options: an earlier meeting beginning at 11am OR a later meeting beginning at 7pm. This is one Stamp Club, but it’s spread across two times of the day to accommodate various schedules.
In lieu of a class fee, each club member makes a minimum purchase each month of $25 (before shipping and tax.) All members take turns being the “host” and qualifying for host benefits. When it’s your month to host, you may bring in outside orders, and/or host a stamp party for friends at your home that month, to boost your benefits.
Each month you will create at least two different projects. I will provide all materials. All you need to bring are a paper trimmer, scissors, adhesive. If you don’t yet have your own tools, I can certainly help you there. Stampin’ Up has some of the best tools around!
If you think you might be interested in joining, please contact me with any questions:
