Welcome to My Castle

The following are projects that I made for the Royal Blog Hop:

Welcome to my Royal Castle; I am so thankful that you have stopped by! I hope your journey through our Royal Blog Kingdom has been enjoyable and we thank you for accepting your royal invitation to attend our blog hop! I have several samples for your enjoyment using the stamp set, Pocket Silhouettes.

I used one of my favorite color combination for this card.  This card was very simple to make, and you can dress it up many different ways.  For this card, I choose to keep it simple and clean.

Stamp Set: Pocket Silhouettes
Markers: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive
Papers: Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White
Accessories: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Old Olive Ribbon, Dimensionals

For my next project I decided to do a monochromatic card using one of the new In-Colors, Poppy Parade.  I used the Scallop Square Clear Die (page 207) for the card front, which was mounted on a piece of 4"x8" Whisper White that folded in half.  The designer paper I used is from the Hostess Level 1 Designer Series Paper Pack.  To create the medium sized square, I used the new Scallop Squares Duo from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

I used a color combo that I have never used before and like how it turned out.  I stamped the flower image first with Chocolate Chip, cut out a circle on a post-it-note using my 1-3/8" circle punch and layered that over the image.  I then sponged Marina Mist over the card front and around the circle.  Love how it creates an effectof a moon.  Added some brads, a library clip and layered on a piece of designer paper from the Woodland Walk papers.

This is a card that I actually cased from an older SU catty, and tried the color combo of Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso and Old Olive.  Another pretty quick and easy card to make!

I was looking through the current catalog, and saw this card using Pocket Silhouettes.  I thought it was cute and would be another fun addition to the blog hop.  I changed it up by sewing a border with my sewing machine and mounted the white card stock on a piece of Pretty in Pink card stock.
