Welcome to InKing Royalty’s August Blog Hop! Today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects inspired by some of our favorite Fall-themed products. What fun! Stampin’ Up!’s catalogs (both the Annual Catalog and soon-to-be-released Holiday Catalog) are filled with so many fun products for the Autumn holidays – and we are excited to share our creations 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.
I just have to take a moment and welcome our Guest Designer for the blog hop! Kim Jolly!!! Yeppie! Kim is a wonderful friend who makes the most amazing cards!!! If you don’t know Kim’s work, you are in for a special treat!!! Well, for that matter we all are!! Kim is awesome!! Welcome and I’m so happy you are hopping along with us!!!! ?
I thought a lot about what I waned to share with you guys today, so many wonderful choices. In the end I settled on At Home With You Bundle. A wonderful stamp and die set in the Annual Catalog. This set is perfect for seasonal cards. It features a door and all the different things you need to decorate it during the year.
At Home With You Bundle
How fun is that ! I love how Stampin’ Up! Thinks of all the details! The door mat, the lantern, and seasonal decorations really makes this stamp set special!!! I paired the sunflowers, galvanized pot, and pumpkin image with the brick decorative mask. 
- The sunflowers were stamped in Basic Black. Then using colored Pencils(I used Prismacolor) color the images. Finally die cut it with the coordinating dies.
- The background is embossing paste with mixed metal gilding leaf added to it! I mixed a drop of Sahara Sand ink refill to some embossing paste. Added the color through the stencil. Finally, adding the leafing on top.
- The linen thread added a little extra texture and interest to the card.
- The sentiment is from Painted Harvest. This is an awesome stamp set in the up coming Holiday Catalog. You are going to want it!!! Promise
- The colors used are Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Sahara Sand, and Basic Black
Each of your comments makes me smile! Please, comment HERE.
You guys know how much I am loving square cards right now! This little square is 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches. To make the card base cut your Crushed Curry card stock so that it is 4 1/2 by 9. Score and burnish at 4 1/2 inches on the 9 inch side. The layers are as fallows, Gilded Whisper White 4 3/ 8 by 4 3/8 inches, Basic Black 4 1/8 by 4 1/8 inches, and Cajun Craze 4 by 4 inches.
The envelope was made using the envelope punch board. Using the app Envelope Generator, I put in the size of card and it gives me the measurements I need to make an envelope with the punch board. For this 4 1/2 by 4 1/2 card. You need a 7 3/8 by 7 3/8 inches piece of card stock. Then you will start punching and scoring at 3 5/8. Rotating after each punch and scoring series. After all four sides are punched and scored, burnish each score line. The final step is to put it together. I use tear and tape on the top flap. So it is ready to go !!!
I have been wanting to share with you guys how I make all my gilded paper elements! I hope y’all enjoy. It is a bit long (sorry) but, I had a lot I wanted to share with you. The video shows you four different ways to use gilding in your paper projects. Gilding can be quite messy. As you will see! I highly suggest a box lid or something similar to contain the mess. Also, swifter cleaning wipes are quite handy! And, try not to have glue on your fingers ???? I will say that my gilding love all started because of a video I saw by Jennifer McGuire. So, it’s all her fault if you get messy trying this ? It is well worth the mess. And the more you do the technique the better you will become at controlling the mess.
Here’s up close pictures of the last two samples in the video!
The layered leaves dynamic embossing folder is perfect for adding little touches of gilding
The Naturly Eclectic Designer Series Paper lends itself quite perfectly to gilding. Maybe, because of it’s watercolor look?
