Welcome to InKing Royalty’s July Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around SUNSHINE. The Sun is the single most important source of energy for life on Earth – it guides our clocks, calendars and planting schedules. We may be enduring a heat wave this week, but we still associate the Sun with positivity, joy and renewal. 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.
My project for today is a bright & cheery card featuring the Believe You Can stamp set! When I think of sunshine, I also think of rainbows!
Believe You Can is a host set that can be purchased with Stampin’ Rewards earned on orders of $150 or more! As soon as I saw it, I knew it was going to be the first thing I purchased with my Stampin’ Rewards!
I used my Stampin’ Blends to color some of the stamped image – the coloring really makes it pop! The background panel is 7/8″ strips of cardstock adhered at the same angle as the Stitched Nested Label die I used to cut out the sentiment.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Shawn de Oliveira at Shawn Stamps. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
Have a wonderful & blessed day!
