Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature balloons, so you are in for a celebratory treat. 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.
Today’s project features the So Much Happy Bundle paired with the Balloon Bouquet Punch!
I just LOVE how the ‘HAPPY’ die works! This won’t be the last time you see me use this die. I love how you can cut ‘HAPPY’ horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. For this card, I opted to cut it horizontally to go with the lines from the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper!
Purple is my favorite color, so I went with shades of it for this card – pulling inspiration from the Designer Series Paper as I often do! The balloons come from the Balloon Bouquet Punch, but there are slightly smaller balloons in the Happy Dies!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Joanne Brown at The Inky Dragon. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
Have a wonderful and blessed day!

This is a beautiful card, Julie – great colors! I love how you used bling on the balloons, and those bows are PERFECTION!!!!
I love this die too! Delightful card!
Thank you, Linda!
It took me a while to realize you cut this from the striped paper vs. the Gorgeous Grape paper beneath it. Such a great card, Julie!
Weird optical illusion, right? Thank you so much!
I’m crushing on all that purple! So pretty!
This is so cute and makes me ‘happy’! I love this die too. Your monochromatic color scheme makes this really pop out! I love it!
Thank you, Pam!
This truly is a HAPPY card and believe me I needed that today! You are so talented!

Didn’t realize that happy die is open-ended! Dang it, Julie I’ve added it to my wish list. What a happy color purple is!
It is such a cool die that can be used in fun ways!
Love the color. Love the die. Love the paper. It’s just an awesome card!

So much talent on Brian’s team! Hop days are always fun!
Cute card – purple Is one of my favorite colors and, of course, that DSP is one of my favorites! I will casing this card but using masculine colors for my adult grandson!
Thank you, Rachel! CASE away!
I love the So Much Happy bundle. Love your layout. I struggle to use purple. It’s real. But I do like your card.
Thank you, Ann! Purple is my jam!
For a second there I had to look at it to figure out what you had cut and what you hadn’t. Love the look of this and your horizontal stripes are too cute. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Lynn! It is a bit of an optical illusion!
A HAPPY card indeed Julie! So sweet n purple. I like the birthday stamped on the designer paper, and the balloons are cute with bling and string. Thanks for sharing this cute card.
Thank you so much, Linda!
Each part of this card is so cute! It is a Smile card for sure. I will have to give the Happy a try myself.
Thank you so much, Jackie!
