InKing Royalty Swap Cards – Day 2

I love my InKing Royalty team. My talented and generous team members regularly share projects in our InKing Royalty Facebook group – a fun, supportive space for stampers who’ve signed up with me or with members in my first and second levels. And while I absolutely love seeing their creativity online, there’s truly nothing like receiving a handmade card in the mail.

Last month, I hosted a card swap with my team to share exciting projects and creative inspiration with one another. Participants designed a card using current Stampin’ Up! products and sent me 10 copies. In return, they received 10 different cards from fellow team members – plus a little gift from me.

I shared two of the swap cards in Friday’s Valentine post from friends. If you’d like to see those, CLICK HERE.

Today, I’m excited to share another batch of the swap cards I received. Some of these stampers are brand new, and others have years of experience – but every single card is inspiring. I hope you’ll leave a comment to let them know how much you love their work.

Angela Stovall

I adore the cardinal in an oval on the card Angela submitted for the swap. When I first opened her envelope, I immediately thought, “That’s not a Stampin’ Up! bird! Oh, Angela!”

A closer look revealed something even more impressive – she pieced that bird together with squares and triangles. Oh, Angela!

You might not immediately recognize the sentiment, the stitched oval framing the bird or the cattails – that’s because they’re part of two new bundles in the soon-to-be-released March Online Exclusives. The sentiment comes from the Garden Paradise stamp set, while the ovals and cattails are found in the Scalloped Wishes Bundle.

Here’s a closer look at the bird on her card:

Even though you can see the Scalloped Wishes stamps and dies featured on Angela’s card, here’s a look at the bundle, which will be available March 3:

Key Ingredients: Scalloped Wishes Bundle (#167453), Paradise Garden stamp set (#167121)

Maria Friedman

A few weeks ago, I enjoyed a fun breakfast with Maria. During our meet-up, she shared a handful of cards she made with a really fun layout, and I shared pictures of her cards with you here. If you missed that post, you can see it here. Maria continued the fun with this swap card!

Maria created another card with this layout for her swaps – a beautiful mix of purples and pinks paired with a shiny, new paper. Here’s Maria’s fun swap card:

The diamond is cropped with the Swirled Designs Dies, and the sentiment is stamped with the Delicate Whispers stamp set (new in the upcoming Online Exclusives).

The patterned design on Maria’s card is pulled from the Splash of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper, new in January’s Online Exclusives. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in this pack of papers:

Key Ingredients: Splash of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167200), Swirled Designs Dies (#167032), Delicate Whispers stamp set (#167500)

Marilyn Lux

Marilyn’s swap card showcases pages of the GORGEOUS Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper. She used different patterns across the 10 cards she submitted and even switched up the base colors.

I regret that I didn’t take a closer look before snapping photos and sending them on their way! The Designer Series Paper panel is attached along the top of the white layer and flips up to reveal a small space to write a sweet message. How fun is that?!

The Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper is part of the 2026 Spring Mini Catalog and truly lives up to its name.

Key Ingredients: Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper (#166957), More Messages stamp set (retired)

Marilyn Jones

Marilyn’s swap card expertly blends products from the Hobby Haven Suite Collection, released as an Online Exclusives offering last November. I love the combination of Petal Pink and Pecan Pie – and the layout is so clever.

At first glance, I thought she had layered a brown band across the middle of the card. But look closely – the design is actually created with two triangles of Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper meeting in the center. So fun!

She added a sentiment, frame and leaves from the coordinating Creative Haven Bundle, along with Earthy Matte Dots for the perfect finishing touch.

Key Ingredients: Creative Haven Bundle (#167209), Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper (#167201), Earthy Matte Dots (#167213)

What do you think?! Do you see some products or techniques that you can’t live without?! Aren’t these projects inspiring and wonderful?!

I hope you’ll leave a comment to let these artists know how much you enjoy their work. ♥

I’ll be back later in the week to share some more from the swap!

Thanks for stopping by today!
