I made today’s card using products from the Peony Garden Suite: Prized Peony Bundle (Prized Peony stamp set and Peony Dies,) Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, and Gray Granite 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon. I wanted the flower to pop, so I made it in Melon Mambo instead of the Petal Pink in the paper. And I colored 3 pearls with a Dark Black Stampin’ Blends Marker to scatter around the flower.

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)

- 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.

Today I’m sharing one of this month’s Stamp Club cards. I used the Prized Peony bundle (Prized Peony stamp set and Peony Dies,) Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, Square Vellum Doilies, and Elegant Faceted Gems. When I first saw the Peony Dies, I thought it must be complicated to assemble the pieces into a flower. Holy cow, was I ever wrong! The flower has four pieces. Each piece has a slit that you slip the next smaller piece into, and they all line up at the bottom. It couldn’t be easier. And what a spectacular result!

Cut using the Peony Dies:

I’ve just gotta say that I really love the 2020-2022 In Colors. So of course, I love the Flowers for Everything Suite, which includes all five of them. When I broke into my Flowers for Everything Memories & More Cards & Envelopes and my Flowers for Everything Memories & More Card Pack, I immediately fell in love. The variety is amazing – there are even Christmas cards! – and they make it so incredibly quick and easy to create a pretty card in no time. Today I’m sharing one that I made using one of the Bumblebee card bases and envelopes. I added a card from the M&M card pack, a strip of card stock, and 3 enamel dots. That’s it!
M&M = Memories & More

Jul 9, 2020 | Blog Hop, Cards, Gallery, Tags |
Welcome to the July 2020 OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Pretty in Pink, so we’re featuring the amazing pinks in the Stampin’ Up! color line up. As usual, I couldn’t choose just one, so I used them all: Petal Pink, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Rococo Rose, Melon Mambo, and Magenta Madness. I cut strips of card stock in all the colors and arranged them in a sort of pinwheel design for the front of the card. The sentiment I cut using the Playful Alphabet Dies, Whisper White Card stock, and the new Foam Adhesive Sheets. I stamped the frame from the Swirly Frames stamp set and heat embossed it in white. For the tag, I covered one side in the same strips, and cut the top with the Fancy Tag Topper Punch.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops! I can’t wait to see what all the blog hop team members have for us today!
