My card today, for the Autumn InKing Royalty Blog Hop, gives you a sneak peek at some of the fabulous Autumnal products you’ll be able to order from the 2017 Holiday Catalog beginning September 1. I used the new Gourd Goodness stamp set, which has beautiful two step images – today I used the leaf. The new Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper inspired the colors for my card. And I used the new Everyday Label Punch in a slightly different way than usual. I’d love to hear what you think of my card, so please leave a comment at the bottom of this post. Thanks!

I’m sorry I’ve been MIA the past couple weeks. A spilled Coke made its way into my laptop and caused what Apple calls “Tier 4 damage.” Luckily there is a flat fee for the repair, and it was only a few days before they called to say it was ready to pick up. The reason the repair was so quick is that, well, there was no repair. They just gave me a brand new laptop. I guess “Tier 4” = “totalled.” I’ve been getting it all set up – thank goodness for backups!
But that’s enough about my woes. Let’s talk about how you can save money and get all the terrific Stampin’ Up! products you have your eye on.

Each year, Stampin’ Up! offers demonstrators the opportunity to earn a fabulous incentive trip. Not only is there a great deal of satisfaction in knowing I worked hard enough to earn the trip, but it’s also the only opportunity I have to meet with demonstrators from around the world. These past two years I’ve been to Thailand and on a Mediterranean Cruise, and they were amazing experiences. Right now, we demos are working toward a trip to Alaska and the deadline is fast approaching! I’m getting close, but I still have a little way to go. So… la;ksdjf;alsdkfjalskdjf;asldkfj;asldkfj;asldkfja;sldfkjas;ldkfj;asldfkj;alsdkfj;lasdkfj;asldkfjlsdfkj;lsdkf
I’m offering YOU an incentive between now and the end of August. In the next couple weeks, when you place an order with me of $50 or more, I will give you $10 in free product of your choice. When you place an order of $100 or more, I will give you $20 in free product. See where I’m going with this? Whenever you cross another $50 threshold, I will add $10 in free product to your order. And this is in addition to any Stampin’ Rewards or half price items you may earn from Stampin’ Up! Now that’s a deal!

My card today for the ICS Blog Hop is made with the new Carols of Christmas Bundle (Carols of Christmas stamp set and card Front Builder Thinlits Dies) and Pear Pizzazz 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon. You can preorder this new bundle now – before the 2017 Holiday Catalog goes live September 1!
This month’s theme for the ICS Blog Hop is Knotty Ways with Ribbon for Christmas, highlighting the wonderful Christmas products and ribbons by Stampin’ Up! While I didn’t actually tie my ribbon in knots, I hope you’ll like what I came up with.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
Pear Pizzazz CS cut to a triangle 3″ wide and 4-3/4″ tall (see diagram, cut away yellow areas)
Stamped with the Carols of Christmas stamp set:
ornaments and flowers in Powder Pink ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
leaves in Pear Pizzazz ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
sentiment in Pear Pizzazz ink onto the inside of the card base
Die cut using the Card Front Builder Thinlits:
the stamped ornaments, flowers, and leaves
Die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits:
Pear Pizzazz CS with the smallest circle die
Assembled the card:
applied Fast Fuse adhesive to one side of the Pear Pizzazz CS triangle
starting at the bottom of the triangle, stuck ribbon to the triangle, going back and forth across it, working my way up
adhered the ends of the ribbon to the back of the triangle with Fast Fuse
applied Fast Fuse to one side of the Pear Pizzazz CS circle
stuck flowers to the circle to cover it
adhered the flower tree topper to the top of the ribbon tree with Fast Fuse
used Fast Fuse to adhere the tree to the front of the card base, and used a Stampin’ Dimensional under the top part of the tree topper
double leaves glued around the pink flower topper
single leaves glued amongst the pink flowers
pearls applied to centers of flowers
ornaments adhered to the tree with Mini Glue Dots
exposed area of the front of the card base covered with Clear Wink of Stella
NOTE: I suggest using Shimmery White CS as the card base – then you don’t have to use the Wink of Stella! I think I applied a bit too much Wink of Stella to this card. It looks a bit uneven, and even muddy, when the light hits it just right (or just wrong?)

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! It’s Christmas in July, and today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects inspired by … you guessed it … Christmas! What fun! Although Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Holiday Catalog will be released to demonstrators this week (we can’t wait to share that with you), our Annual Catalog is filled with fun, festive and beautiful products to make Christmas special, such as the new Merry Mistletoe stamp set and the new Be Merry Designer Series Paper. We are excited to share our creations with you today. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Here’s what I made:
The Be Merry Designer Series Paper colors are Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, and Garden Green. For today’s card, I decided to replace Garden Green with Pear Pizzazz for a softer feel. What do you think?
Here’s what I did:

Pear Pizzazz card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″
Whisper White CS cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
Be Merry Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
Whisper White CS cut to 2-1/2″ x 3-3/4″
Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″, for the inside
Stamped with the Merry Mistletoe stamp set:
deer and mistletoe in Pear Pizzazz ink onto the 2-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ Whisper White CS
sentiment onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
sentiment
one size larger oval from a scrap of Cherry Cobbler CS
two sizes larger oval from a scrap of Pear Pizzazz CS
Cut using the 1/16″ Circle Punch:
three circles from a scrap of Cherry Cobbler CS
Assembled the card:
5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ Whisper White CS glued onto the front of the card base
DSP glued onto the 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ Whisper White CS
2-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ Whisper White CS (stamped with deer and mistletoe) glued onto the DSP
three ovals glued together, then glued onto the DSP and stamped piece
applied three small Cherry Cobbler Enamel Dots in the corner above the deer
glued 1/16″ circles: 2 to the sentiment, and one to the deer
went over the mistletoe berries with a white chalk marker, to give them that “white with a green tinge” that real mistletoe berries have
5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White CS glued to the inside of the card base
