Welcome to the May 2022 InKing Royalty Blog Hop! This month we are sharing projects that feature birds and bees, not to be confused with “the birds and the bees.” That’s something entirely different. I used 2 sets of stamps (Honeybee Home and Etched in Nature) and 2 sets of dies (Honeybee Blooms & Eden) to create my card for today. The Etched in Nature stamp set is retired, but I accidentally left it with my current stamps, so I used it on today’s card. Oops!
Be sure to hop around to all the stops on the hop, because you don’t want to miss any of the great projects the Royals have made for you today.

Welcome to the May 2022 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month we are featuring projects made using the new 2022-2024 In Colors: Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky, and Orchid Oasis.
I used two of the new In Colors – Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky – to create this simple card. I think it would qualify as “simple stamping” if it weren’t for the punch. Otherwise it’s just stamps, ink, and paper. I used the Bottled Happiness stamp set, which is available in a bundle (save 10%!) with the Vintage Bottle Punch. You can also get Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes to make shaker cards. I’ll link them in my supply list near the bottom of this post.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Orchid Oasis card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Basic White CS layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
- Basic White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Bottles Happiness stamp set:
- sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink onto a scrap of Basic White Thick CS
- large flower image in Orchid Oasis ink onto the Basic White CS layer, once in the top right corner and once in the bottom left
- overlay flower image in Starry Sky ink (I found it easiest to line up the flower centers.)
- sprig stamp in Starry Sky ink from the center of the flowers toward the top left and bottom right. I inked the stamp only once per side and stamped off three times for the varied darkness
Cut using the Lasting Label Punch:
- sentiment
- a blank piece of Basic White Thick CS
Colored using a Stampin’ Write Marker:
- filled in the flower center in Starry Sky ink, where I didn’t get the two-step stamping lined up just right
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- stamped Basic White CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- the two punched pieces glued together, perpendicular to each other
- sentiment stack adhered onto the card front using a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet

Today I’m sharing another card I made with the Enjoy the Moment stamp set, which will be in the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog. You can see the first one I made here. For today’s card I also used the Banners Pick a Punch and Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.
The image stamp I used is of a winged seed produced by maple trees, called a samara. They are commonly referred to as whirlers, twisters, whirligigs, or helicopters.
