November 2022 Inking Royalty Blog Hop – Thanks

#stampcandy #irbhs

Welcome to the November 2022 Inking Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s blog hop is dedicated to showing Thanks. I used products from the Storybook Gnomes Suite Collection to create Tri-Panel Twisted Easel Card. I CASEd a card made by Marciene Ingram, but I changed the measurements and a few other things about it. We both used products from the Storybook Gnomes Suite Collection, just different ones. And I love that this Designer Series Paper (DSP) is so inclusive with black, brown, and white gnomes.

I am a paper gal. I love stamping, but I’m really all about the paper. The sentiment is the only stamped element of this card. It’s all DSP and cardstock. 

We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After reading my post, I hope you will hop to the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects the Royals have created for you!

Here’s what I did:

Cut with my Paper Trimmer:

  • Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper (DSP) (2 pieces snowflake pattern) cut to 4″ x 1-7/8″ then cut in half diagonally from top right corner to bottom left corner (should have 4 triangular pieces)*
  • DSP (3 pieces mushroom pattern) cut to 4″ x 1-7/8″ then cut in half diagonally from top right corner to bottom left corner (should have 6 triangular pieces)*
  • 4-1/4″ x 6-1/4″ Basic White Memories & More Card cut to 6-3/16″ tall
  • front of the card base cut horizontally at 2-1/16″ and 4-1/8″ to create 3 flaps
  • each flap scored diagonally from top right corner to bottom left corner

*  I needed 3 pieces of each DSP pattern. I cut 4 of the snowflake pattern triangles because I could rotate one and have only one left over. I cut 6 of the mushroom pattern because it is directional, so I used all three bottom triangles and have the three others left over.

Stamped with the Kindest Gnomes stamp set:

  • sentiment in Pacific Point ink onto the inside of the card base, at the bottom

Cut using Paper Snips:

  • 3 gnomes, a bird, a bunny, and a fox from DSP – roughly cut with extra around the edges
  • fussy cut a second bird for the envelope
  • the bird, bunny, and fox, after they were glued onto Basic White Thick CS

Glued:

  • 3 gnomes, bird, bunny, and fox to scraps of Basic White Thick CS – layered to make them stronger

Cut using the Gnomes Dies:

  • the layered gnomes

Cut using the Beautiful Shapes:

  • the layered bird with the smallest circle die (the bird was just too small to fussy cut and pop up with Dimensionals)

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the folds in the card base with a Bone Folder
  • 3 snowflake DSP layers glued onto the top left triangular section of each card flap
  • 3 mushroom DSP layers glued onto the bottom right triangular section of each card flap
  • bottom parts of gnomes glued onto the mushroom DSP, being careful not to have any exposed glue above the bottom right triangular section of each card flap
  • layered bird, bunny, and fox adhered onto the inside of the card base with various foam adhesives, so they would keep the flaps propped open
  • fussy cut bird glued onto the flap of the Memories & More envelope

November 2022 Candy Hearts Blog Hop – Holidays

s

Welcome to the November 2022 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month we’re sharing Holiday themed projects. We all know that Stampin’ Up! has lots of great Christmas products to choose from, but I wanted to show how easy it is to use Stampin’ Up! products to make a card, even though there isn’t a specific stamp set for it in the current catalogs. I used the Alphabest Bundle, Sentiment Silhouettes Dies, and Layering Circles Dies to create a Happy Kwanzaa card.  Change the colors and add two more candles for a Hannukah card.

After reading my post, I hope you will hop to the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects the Candy Hearts have created for you!
