Many of my Stampin’ Up! team members (not only those with blogs) share their gorgeous projects in our team’s Facebook community – there’s such amazing and inspiring creativity in this group! I’m always excited when my team’s blog hop rolls around, though, because I get to share some of their amazing work with you. I’m just as excited to see their projects as you are, and I am proud to share them with you.
Welcome to InKing Royalty’s January Blog Hop! We are having so much fun with our new Sale-a-Bration products and are excited to share some of that fun with you today. This month’s projects feature papers or stamp sets (or both!) from Stampin’ Up!’s January – February 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Daffodil Afternoon
You know how much I adore Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers, so it’s no surprise that I always love the paper options during Sale-a-Bration. I love that I can collect multiples of each and not worry about running out. While I’ve already shared projects with the other three papers available during January – June 2022 Sale-a-Bration, today is the first time I’ve sharing a project with Daffodil Delight 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Here’s my card:
The Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Papers features six pages of floral and leafy patterns with coordinating patterns on the opposite side of each. This paper can be selected as your Sale-a-Bration gift with a $50 purchase (before shipping and taxes) during Sale-a-Bration. Here’s a look at the gorgeous colors and patterns in the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper:
The last floral page shown above features 12″ of daffodils on two sides of the paper – such a brilliant design for a quick-and-easy project! While I was prepared to showcase a full panel of this paper on this card, I decided to cut the paper into 1/2″ strips and then glue them down to my Crushed Curry base, leaving a teeny-tiny gap between each panel. Here’s a closer look:
While I didn’t use it on my card, the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper coordinates with the Daffodil Daydream Bundle (#157795) in Stampin’ Up!’s January – June 2022 Mini Catalog. What I DID use on my card, though, is one of my favorite things in the new catalog – the Amazing Thanks Dies, part of the Amazing Silhouettes Bundle. I cropped a base layer of “thanks” with Thick Very Vanilla and a thin “thanks” with Mossy Meadow cardstock to build the gorgeous sentiment on this card. Here’s a look at the Amazing Silhouettes Bundle:
I adore the warm and rich tones in the sophisticated Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper. While the pages in this pack of papers include softer and brighter colors than the ones shown in this panel, I adore the colors in this page. If you like this mix of Very Vanilla, Crushed Curry and Mossy Meadow as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:

I love this technique and how you pulled it together. What an awesome card. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Lynn! I was all set to go with a single panel but knew I needed to do something different. Happy with how it turned out. ♥
Wow! This is such a great way to use the paper. Thank you for a great idea and a beautiful card.
Thank you, Jackie! The paper is gorgeous – I just cut it up. ♥
I adore the “screening” effect of the DSP. Beautiful and fresh for spring!
Thanks, Mary! I love that term for these strips. It will now be called the Screening Technique! ♥
This DSP is beautiful, but the strips make a very striking card. I love this card. Enjoy your day!
P.S. I ran through all your team’s projects. They are amazing and so inspirational. I didn’t have time to comment on each one. Thanks so much for sharing these amazing ideas. Enjoy your day!
I always love the hops – so many brilliant ideas out there with this group. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, my friend! Had fun with it. ♥
Gorgeous card! Love the cut DSP panels!
Thank you so much, Windy! ♥ I was happy with how it turned out – worried I might have just wasted this piece of paper, but alas! ♥
This is such a beautiful card Brian. Your panels are so precise and add so much interest to this card. Bravo! Thank you for an AMAZING hop!!!
Awww…thanks, Pam! I was glad they all layered next together so easily – was worried they might be a little wonky. Thanks!
I am so concerned cutting into this DSP…..That it hadn’t even occur to me to make some 1/2″ strips. What a FABULOUS way to showcase this paper. LOVE IT!
Thank you so much, Kadie! You make so many great patterns with papers – you inspired me to play around with the paper. ♥
What a gorgeous card! I love that you cut the DSP in strips. Much more interesting that way.
Thank you so much, Robin! Thought I might give it a try – glad I did. ♥
Beautiful card! Cutting the DSP into strips was a brilliant idea!
Thank you so much, Marilyn! I just wanted something a little different – cutting into strips delivered for me. ♥
Ooooooh, my friend , I love love this card , love that DSP ,
TFS FRIEND,♥️
Hugs Frenchie ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much, Frenchie! Hope you are well. ♥
Great card, great hop! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Wendie! I love the inspiration from the hops, too! ♥
Moving the commonplace to the extraordinary. The strip idea is brilliant and is SO MUCH more engaging than just a flat panel. [In my mind I just created the “You are amazing” die cut sentiment from the Amazing Silhouette bundle in your honor!]
Great Hop~your wonderful team has really rocked it. TFS
🙂 Thanks so much, Linda! I had fun with the strips and am glad you like the idea. ♥ Thanks, too, for the “amazing” you created for me in your mind.
I keep forgetting to cut it up! Thanks for that reminder. Now I’m off to look at my DSP!
🙂 It can be hard to cut into so many gorgeous pieces – this was a risk, but I had fun with it. Thanks, Jan! ♥
Beautiful! Love how you’ve grounded the thanks.
Thanks, Sheryl! I was just floating there so I knew I needed to give it a foundation. You have a sharp eye – pun intended. ♥
Love the drama created by the crushed curry showing through your DSP strips. Is there a hint to getting that all lined up evenly? What is the measurement on the Crushed Curry layer? I want to give this a try.
Thanks, Donna! I cut the panel and then the strips. I just glued them down, eyeballing them as they went down. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue so I could slide them a bit after they were down. The base below is just 1/8″ taller than the strips. As I was unsure about the width of frame I’d need after the spaces, I glued these down on a piece longer than I needed and then cropped the edge. Hope you give it a try! ♥
Well that was a fun blog hop! It’s always great to see what everyone is doing and I absolutely love your card for today Brian.
Thanks you so much, Grace! ♥
Love the way you cut the DSP into strips, and that layered sentiment is perfection!
If only I had added some Wink of Stella to my flowers like you did…Thanks, Candy! ♥
The louvered panel is awesome. I must give this a whirl. Thanks 🙂
Thanks, Ann! The sentiment was just floating, so I needed to ground it a bit. Thanks! ♥
Great card but what I really enjoyed was your blog hop! So many wonderful ideas using the SAB goodies. Well done everyone!!!
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed the hop! Lots of great projects. ♥
What a gorgeous card! I love love love the design and the strips of DSP are perfect!
Thank you so much, Sheryl! ♥ I was nervous to cut up this paper, but I am happy with how it turned out. Glad you like it!
Absolutely adorable Brian! I love this paper as well and this card showcases it perfectly!
The paper is gorgeous, isn’t it?! Thanks so much, Renae! ♥
Wow this is so great Brian! Absolutely beautiful! I love this paper as well and this card showcases it perfectly!
Oh My Gosh! I LOVE what you have done with this DSP! Simple, but packs a punch! Love it!
Thank you so much, Sandra! I was happy with the paper as a single panel but wanted to do something a little different. Glad you like it! ♥
