A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a wonderful training weekend hosted by Lisa Pretto of InkBig Academy. One of our activities was a card swap. Today I’m sharing some of the cards I received from fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. I’m sure you will be inspired as much as I am. Enjoy!

Jan 19, 2016 | Blog Hop, Cards, Club, Events, New Products, Occasions |
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s January Blog Hop! Today’s So In Love Blog Hop is filled with inspiring projects that share ideas for Valentine’s Day or new products we love. We are excited to share what we’ve made and hope you’ll find great inspiration from our talented team members 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.
This is one of the three projects we made at January’s Stamp Club meeting, and I thought it would be perfect for today’s blog hop. It’s a Valentine AND it’s made with new products that I love, including the Bloomin’ Love Bundle and the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit!
The card is 4″ x 4″. The card base is Whisper White Thick card stock, with a Crumb Cake CS layer, then the Blushing Bride CS top layer.
We cut the heart from a Silver Foil Sheet with the new Bloomin’ Hearts Thinlits Dies. The Precision Cutting Plate and the new Big Shot Die Brush make intricate dies like this a breeze to work with. The Precision Cutting Plate gives you a nice, clean cut; and the Die Brush makes it super easy to get the die cut – and all the extra little bits of paper – out of the die. No more poking and poking through all those little holes.
After gluing the heart to the front layer, we adhered a piece of ribbon from the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit using a dry adhesive, such as Fast Fuse or Snail. A dry adhesive won’t bleed through the ribbon like a wet glue can. We wrapped the ribbon to the back of the Crumb Cake layer before gluing it onto the card base.
We stamped the banner in Blushing Bride, and the sentiment in Crumb Cake – so easy to line up with the see through photopolymer stamps! – then cut it using the Large Numbers Framelits Dies. This die set has a banner that coordinates with several of the new stamp sets.
We then glued the banner on top of the ribbon. Then we glued on some scattered sequins in Blushing Bride, White, and Silver. The Silver ones are from the Metallics Sequin Assortment, and the rest are from the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit. The kit includes gold sequins, but I was in more of a silver mood when I designed this card. I’m sure it would be just as lovely with a heart cut from a Gold Foil sheet and gold sequins.
We used the Envelope Punch Board to make the envelope from Whisper White Envelope Paper, then stamped the floral design on the flap in Crumb Cake.
I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Becky Volpp at Ink Blossom with Becky. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
Jan 16, 2016 | Cards, Catalogs, Classes, Club, Events, New Products, Occasions, Open House, Sale-A-Bration |
On January 3, I hosted an Open House to showcase the new Occasions and Sale-a-bration items. About 20 people came and we had a blast. Everyone received a packet of catalogs along with a list of the new bundles, a Gum Balls reward form, a class schedule, a note about the BOGO sale coming up on January 24, and some other goodies.
Attendees could make a free card (see below,) sign up for classes and Stamp Club, see and touch the new products, have a snack, place an order, and laugh and have a good time. There was a prize drawing every hour for new products.
My team member, Judy Newsome, at far left, ran the Make & Take. Here she is with Geleta and Cindy.
Here you can barely see Brian King at far left, who stopped by to help, with Tamara, Jessica, Judy, Geleta, Cindy, and Tamara II.
Here’s Vicki with her card.
My team member, Linda Krueger, on the left, helped me plan and set up the open house, and she helped customers at the event. Here she is with Rochelle, who is proudly showing off her Make & Take card – the first card she had ever made! 
There were displays of many of the new products with samples of cards and other projects made with them. Here are a few of them.
A fellow demonstrator, Robbye Hamilton, came by to offer her support, and it just happened to be her birthday. I didn’t know that ahead of time, so we had to make do. Here she is with a chocolate petit four “birthday cake” as Brian looks on.
Here is the Make & Take card from that day:
We started with a Whisper White card base. We stamped the flower from the new Birthday Blooms stamp set in Blushing Bride directly onto the card base.
Then we glued on a strip of Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper.
We stamped the sentiment in Rose Red onto Whisper White CS, then punched it out with the Large Oval Punch. We punched a piece of Blushing Bride card stock with the Scallop Oval Punch and glued the sentiment onto it. Then we attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The last touch was to place three Mint Macaron dots from the It’s My Party Enamel Dots. They are self-adhesive, and they really add a little somethin’ somethin’ to your projects. Here’s what we used. Click on the images to get your own!
