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 2023 Blog Hop! If your craft projects aren’t already filled with hearts, then you might be behind the eight ball. No worries – we are here to help. We are excited to share our heart-filled creations with you 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.
Country Floral Lane
I’m going to share a secret I’ve never, never said before … sometimes a beautiful mix of Designer Series Papers is all you need to build a gorgeous card. I selected three patterns from Stampin’ Up!’s Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper (each pattern is filled with sweet hearts) to create the card I’m sharing with you today. Here’s my card for today’s InKing Royalty Blog Hop:
All three of the panels on my card are pulled from the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper. Here’s a look at the patterns and colors in this love-themed pack of papers:
While I chose to work with the Petal Pink patterns in the pack of papers (say that five times fast!), I could have just as easily created the same card with Balmy Blue pages or the Sweet Sorbet pages. This is such a great pack of papers!
Here’s something else I’ve never, never said before: When I set out to make a simple card with just a few layers, I never dreamed I’d end up with TEN layers of cardstock. The panels looked great, but I wanted to see how they’d look with a little frame around them, and so the layers began to stack up.
The sentiment on my card is pulled from the new Framed Florets stamp set in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. If it looks familiar, that’s because the stamp set was an early release stamp set last year. Here’s a look at this must-have Framed Florets Bundle:
I added three Petal Pink sequins from the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins (a part of the Country Floral Lane Suite). What a sweet accent!
I’ll share more about this paper and this card tomorrow – I hope you’ll come back!

Well, OF COURSE matting the layers was the way to go…! Such a beautiful layout for this great DSP. Inspiring, as ever.
Great card, great hop! ♥️
Striking card. Good choice of papers. Thanks for sharing your talents and cards.
What a picture perfect layout and lovely for spring!
I love this layout! And I think DSP needs a layer also. So I feel your pain with the layers. But for this beauty it is definitely worth it!
Country Floral Lane is SUCH a soft DSP … so very pretty.
It really has caught my eye 👁️ I think I am regularly drawn to the Subtles. Do you layer the inside of your cards, too? 😉
Pretty ! Love the eye candy of the colors and patterns ! This paper is due in my mailbox tomorrow !
Did I say PRETT Y ?
The king of layering has retained his crown!! Love the layers and those sweet papers! Enjoy your day!
Sweet layers and card!
Awesome card, Brian. Great combo of papers & layers.
Brian, love the layers and the papers. Can you share the measurements with us. Thanks.
Thanks so much, Kris! I’ve created another card with this layout to share tomorrow – the measurements of the layers is included in that post. 🙂
Wow-this is a great layout and I love your color choices, so soft and inviting!
I definitely need to do more layering with DSP It’s such a striking card, Brian! Bravo!
I absolutely love all the beautiful and perfect layers of DSP! Such a pretty card!
