Happy Halloween card made with the Hallows Night Magic Bundle (Hallows Night Magic stamp set and Halloween Magic Dies) and Metallic Mesh Ribbon from the Magic in this Night Suite Collection. I created the background by stamping black ink onto the layer using the blob shaped rubber from the middle of the frame stamp. I think it gives the impression of dark spirits floating around in the background. And the little bit of Metallic Mesh Ribbon peeking out from under the sentiment looks like cobweb.

Aug 19, 2020 | Autumn, Blog Hop, Cards, Gallery |
Welcome to the August 2020 InKing Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Autumn Weather. To make my card, I used the Freezin’ Fun Bundle (Freezin’ Fun and Freezin’ Friends Dies,) Snow Time Dies, Autumn Punch Pack, Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, and lots of colors of card stock.
To set the scene, imagine, this cute little bunny just minding his own business, hanging out in a big pile of leaves. And then all of a sudden, a big gust of wind threatens to move the pile right out from under him. Poor little guy. He doesn’t seem to mind though. As a matter of fact, he seems to be enjoying having his ears flapping in the wind.
Since I wanted the leaves to look like they’re blowing off the card, I made the card base 5-1/4″ x 4″ (just a tad smaller than the usual 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″.)

- Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/4″ x 8″, then scored in half at 4″
- Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″ (Crumb Cake pattern)
- Whisper White CS cut to 5″ x 3-3/4″ for the inside of the card base

- I didn’t count the leaves, but I started out with at least four of each color (2 of each shape,) then punched more to add in here and there. I would guess I used about 50 or so.
Cut using Paper Snips:
- scarf from the DSP bunny
- excess skis from the Whisper White CS bunny (although I could have gotten away without doing this because I used enough leaves to cover them)
Colored using a Stampin’ Blends Marker:
- bunny nose in Light Flirty Flamingo
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base

Today’s card could not be easier! I used the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes and Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack. That’s it! And just look at how pretty it is! The colors are just lovely. And that matching envelope is divine. Now of course, you could dress it up with ribbon, embellishments, etc., but the thing is, you don’t have to.

Today I’m sharing the cards I made using the Simply Citrus Card Kit. This kit is perfect for beginner stampers! It’s an all-inclusive kit, meaning it has everything you need to make the cards (except scissors to cut the twine.) You get the card bases, envelopes, die cut labels and images, stamp set, clear block, ink pad, embellishments, twine, adhesives, and a sweet box to hold it all. A lot of people could use a little sunshine these days. These 15 colorful and fun cards will help you send it to them.

Welcome to the August 2020 OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is New Beginnings, so we’re featuring projects celebrating new job, new marriage, new school year, etc. I used the Senior Years stamp set to make a happy retirement card and gift box. You may think of retirement as the end of a career, but I think of it as the beginning of a new life without the day to day worries of a job. I used the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder to echo the plaid pants the man is wearing. When I think of a retired man, the first thing that pops into my head is a man wearing mismatched patterns to play golf. And this guy seems very happy with his wardrobe choice, from the Pumpkin Pie vest to the Blackberry Bliss plaid pants.
