Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop!

Today’s Blog Hop today is filled to the brim with projects that celebrate birthdays. The opening line from The Beatles’ “Birthday” song ran through our heads as we joyfully created the birthday-themed creations we share with you today. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Picture Perfect for Fab Friday # 131

Third time is a charm for this blog hop. I started two other cards, but neither card was working so I have those pieces set aside for another day. After calling it quits for the second card, I then pulled out this fabulous Picture Perfect DSP and matched it with the Fab Friday # 131 sketch.

Here’s my card:

I absolutely love all of the papers in this 6 x 6 stack. Absolutely.Love. The coordinating stamp set, Picture Perfect Birthday, is pretty fabulous as well, and that’s where I got the sentiment. It felt like this card was falling into place when I realized this sentiment would work with the Everyday Label punch. This confetti paper is all about party time, and the banner is from the Picture Perfect stack as well. While I matted the banner in Basic Black, I chose to really make the sentiment pop with a mat of Bermuda Bay. A base of Berry Burst and bow in Bermuda Bay were the finishing touches. I’m getting better, sometimes, with bows so I don’t feel completely bow challenged lately. A naked envelope just didn’t seem to fit with this card, so I cropped another piece of Picture Perfect DSP for the flap.

Fab Friday # 131

This sketch is simple and clean, which works well with this DSP. I just pulled the banner to the left of center instead of the right, and I was finally able to get a birthday card finished.

Here’s the sketch:

Picture Perfect DSP with Party Panda for FMS323

Feb 11, 2018 | Uncategorized | 3 comments

Freshly Made Sketches # 323

FMS sketches are always clean and simple. I pulled out the Picture Perfect DSP for the sketch, and then decided to use the sentiment from Magical Day. Pieces were cut, mats were trimmed, circles cropped, sentiment stamped, card assembled, then I felt something was missing. Enter Party Pandas, and the sitting Panda holding the balloon seemed perfect.

Here’s my card:

Magical Day

I just love, love, love this 6 x 6 DSP stack, so much so that I’ve already ordered another stack. The two sides of this paper coordinated beautifully, as always. The circles on the left and chevrons on the right are very graphic and seem to balance each other. I left open space on the black mat which gives the appearance of matting without actually doing it. The peach scalloped circle was cropped using the Layering Circle die set from the bottom mat to cut down on carstock waste. Whisper White sentiment base was cropped using Stitched Shape circle dies. A Bermuda Bay Stamping Write marker highlights the stitching in the ditch of the circle. Stamping Dimensionals gave some height to the sentiment.

Last Minute Party Panda

Once I got everything together, I started to think that there was nothing connecting the sentiment to the card. I have thoroughly enjoyed using the Party Pandas, so I thought… why not here as well. What could be more magical than a sitting panda flying off the large senitment circle layers? I stamped him, then fussy cut him out and popped him up using the mini-dimensionals, which allowed the string to tuck under the sentiment.
