Warm Wishes for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop

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.

InKing Royalty Blog Hop - Winter

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December Blog Hop! We have created wintry projects to share with you today – snow, sleds and mittens are sure to be found in our lineup. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Warm Wishes

With so many products sold out from the July-December Mini Catalog, I was strategic about selecting products for my wintry project – all of the products on my card come from the 2022 Annual Catalog and upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. Here’s my wintry card:

Through it Together, Grove Dies, Hand-Drawn Dots, Stampin Up!, Brian King

While the sentiment and oval-based scene are the heart of this card, I want to start with the stamp set that helped me create the “snow” on my card. Hand-Drawn Dots is a fun background stamp set in the upcoming Mini Catalog. I stamped the background with Versamark and heat-embossed it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. It’s not designed to be snow, but it sure does the trick! Here’s a look at the Hand-Drawn Dots stamp set:

Hand-Drawn Dots Background Stamp, Stampin Up! 160508The oval die at the heart of this card is also from the upcoming Mini Catalog, but it’s been available for the past couple of months as an early-release product. I have loved working with the Framed Florets Dies, and the large oval works well here. I cropped a Pool Party oval with the largest oval die (second die on the second row in the product photo below). I cropped the trees with the Grove Dies and then cropped out the trees with the same oval die. Here’s a closer look:

Here’s a look at the Framed Florets Bundle (you can order it today if you don’t yet have it):

And here’s a look at the Grove Dies, part of the Grassy Grove Bundle:

Grassy Grove Bundle, Stampin Up! 157845The sentiment is a teeny-tiny, but oh-so-sweet sentiment from the Through it Together stamp set in Stampin’ Up!’s 2022 Annual Catalog.

There’s a lot of Pool Party on this sweet card – layers of cardstock, ink and even ribbon. I layered several strips of the Pool Party 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon behind the oval as a sweet, simple accent for my sweet card.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Pam Morris at Tap Tap Stamp. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

    Brian, what a beautiful card! It’s so peaceful! And I love that you used Pool Party … one of my most favorite colors.

    • Thank you so much, Suzie! I had fun with this one – it changed a bit as I created it, which always makes it fun. Pool Party is one of my all-time favorites, too.

  2. Delicious design! Love the cropped die cut image, and the softness from the ribbon.
    And of course, now I need to take another look at that background stamp…!😉

  3. This is so sweet and calm looking. Love the oval layer. But wow on the embossed dots. It gives me a new appreciation for that stamp.

  4. Really pretty. I have my eye on that background!

  5. Love the color ! The oval makes it a stand out ! Looking forward to the HOP !!

  6. Well done my friend! I passed that background stamp up but now I have to take another look at it. I love how you created the snowy scene!

  7. So pretty and soft! Love the ribbon behind, too!

  8. I love all the elements on this serene card. So lovely. Enjoy your day!

  9. Beautiful. Love how you used the Grassy Grove die.

  10. Leave it to you to show us something that we’ve never dreamed of. I really love the crisp white trees, cut off in the oval die. What a splendid idea! I obviously missed that dot stamp in the catalog; it really does look like snow! Guess I’d better get another order together. Beautiful card, Brian.

  11. I’m in love with the the Grassy Grove cut into an oval, brilliant!!!

  12. Brian- love this card! I think the hand-drawn dot background stamp just made it to my “wish list”. I recently picked up Grassy Grove with my host rewards. So I think I feel a case coming!!

  13. Brian, love the dots. I got it at OnStage also, and I love the look you gave it. I’m not sure I would have thought to use it this way. Now I also want to “connect” the dots somehow, lol.

  14. What a creative way to use the GrassyGrove dies. Love this idea! Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing!
    Merry Christmas!

  15. Brian, Fabulous card you have inspired me. Thank you so much.
