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!

Welcome to the October 2022 Inking Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s blog hop is dedicated to Halloween. The inspiration for my card is a shirt I saw online and thought was a hoot:
I decided to make my own version with the sweater from the Forever Friendship stamp set. Just FYI, the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Marker is great for blood…ya know, just in case you ever need it. I used the black ink pad to grunge up the layers on the front and the inside. The one time I didn’t get an ink smudge on the card, and I wanted to!
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!

Welcome to the September 2022 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! It’s almost the time of year for all things spooky and fun. And Stampin’ Up! has all you need to make sure your treats are the cutest on the block. So today we’re sharing Halloween treat ideas. I used the Cracker & Treat Box Dies to create a cute little treat holder. I decorated some Designer Series Paper with washi tape, and added Metallic Mesh Ribbon which reminds me of silvery cobwebs. I used the Scary Cute stamp set for the sentiment – I inked only half of the sentiment at a time and stamped onto separate pieces of card stock.
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!
