Welcome to the April 2021 InKing Royalty Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature a mix of butterflies and dragonflies – just in time for Spring. We are excited to share our creations with you today!

Welcome to the March 2021 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month we are featuring Spring themed projects. Be sure to hop to the next blog on the list, Pam Morris of Tap Tap Stamp. If you get lost, scroll down to see the list of hoppers.
My project features the True Love Designer Series Paper, which is all black and white. I love it because you can make it any color you want. The card has quite a bit of black on it, which may not seem very Springy. But I though the Spring colors really popped off the black background. What do you think?
I also used the Butterfly Gems which come in the 2019-2021 In Colors. This is the first time I’ve ever used them. I know! Crazy! How have I neglected these little beauties for so long? They will retire less than two months, so I plan to use them as much as I can until then. (Of course, I do use retired products, but not on anything I post on my blog.)
