Welcome to the Royal Blog Tour

 

Welcome to the Royal Blog tour one of my favorite ways to spend an evening is perusing great blogs. Well hop along for the opportunity to see some amazing work by some amazing women!  My castle has work using the pocjet shiloettes stamp set. and I woul  like to you share with you some of my designs using that  stamp set.

First card up is a variation of  a card you saw earlier on my blog and is again inspired by my stamping friend Jan  Rienhardt. I saw a card that she made with the sunset a while back and had to case it. Here is my version.

Supplies

Ink - Soft Suede, Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Old Olive

Paper-More Mustard DSP, Soft Suede, Ruby Red, Whisper White

Stamps- Pocket Silhouettes, Flight of the Butterfly, Autumn days

Accessories- Butterfly Sizzlet

The next card up reminds me of the grasses on the beach on the outer banks of North Carolina. this card uses masking and of course Pocket Silhouettes

 

The next card is an easel card again using brayering and layering I love Easel cards because the person that gets the card can display it!

Supplies

Ink - Night of Navy, Bashful Blue

Paper-Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, versa mark

Stamps- Pocket Silhouettes

Punches -  1 3/4  Circle

I had a bit of leftover brayerd samples and decided to make a book mark with it I used my Petals Sizzix die and owe this idea to another friend Marilyn Schlueter, I truly amazes me how paper crafters are so wonderful and share all their great ideas.

Paper Craft Sampler

May is right around the corner and soon it will be time for a new release of the Paper Crafters Sampler. I am lucky enough to have joined the design team for this magazine. I have enjoyed working on some great designs and working with some amazing women.

Our theme for May is, Together forever, the wedding issue. The issue offers ideas for wedding invitations, favors and gifts and more. I love my contribution for the month and here is a sneak peek. I used one of the new sets from the summer mini!

Also included in the May issue is the new Pyramid box template. You can find all this and more in the upcoming issue, due for release available May 10^th.

I used My digital studio to create this box. It was a snap to make and the template is free if you purchase the magazine. As an added bonus if you use my code I will send you my template which includes the baroque motifs design incorporated into the template for free! So get right on over to Paper Crafters Sampler and use this code PCSVK to sign up for the magazine that is chock full of great ideas.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at the sneak peek of my project for the upcoming May issue. If you missed our April hop featuring the exclusive PCS "Paper Lantern" template, you can check it out on the "Winged Things" page

Thanks for Looking Virginia
