Seeing Red 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.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! This year’s hops are inspired by our favorite shapes and favorite colors – today’s projects showcase some of Stampin’ Up!’s amazing shades of red. 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.

Moo! Cluck! Oink!

There are so many ways to say “hello” – today’s card gives you three against a backdrop of cows, pigs and chickens. The card I’ve made to share with you today starts with these three animal sounds on a 4-1/4″ square panel:

The 4″ square panel on the front opens up to a “just saying hello” panel inside:

The 4″ x 12″ piece of Day at the Farm Designer Series Paper is folded at 4″ and 8″ to build an accordion-style card that opens right up to the great joy of the recipient. How fun is that?!

The animal greetings on the front of the card are stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink on Sahara Sand cardstock with the Alphabest stamp set and cropped with the Conversation Bubbles Dies. I love that I can build my own words with this photopolymer alphabet set. For reference, “cock-a-doodle-do!” wouldn’t fit in one of the word bubble dies. Here’s a look at the Alphabest Bundle:

And here’s a look at the oh-so-fun Conversation Bubbles Bundle (which should, in my opinion, be on your wish list from the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog):

Finally, the Cherry Cobbler-inked sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Simply Fabulous stamp set in Stampin’ Up!’s 2022 Annual Catalog – what a great way to just say “hello,” no?!

The sentiments are key to this card, but it’s the Cherry Cobbler backdrop that (1) pulls the card together and (2) ties the card to the “red” theme of today’s InKing Royalty Blog Hop. The Day at the Farm Designer Series Paper is one of the Level One Sale-a-Bration options that can be selected for free with a $50 order. Here’s a closer look at the sweet pattern on the paper I used today:
