Royal Blog Tour

By | 143 Comments

The Royal Blog Tour was certainly a HUGE success!  Thank you all for stopping by!  I’ll be posting my Blog Candy winner on Thursday, July 30th!  Stay tuned!

 

Wow!  The Royal Blog Tour is finally here!  I’m excited to be able to show you some samples from the new Stampin’ Up! set, Wedding Sweet!  This set was on my to-buy list even before my son announced his engagement a few weeks ago.  Now, I’m sure I will be using it a LOT! This first sample shows the elegance of the Wedding Sweet set used in a frame to commemorate the wedding of a family friends’ daughter!  It shows off the elegance of this set by using Black Craft embossed on Shimmer Paper.

My second sample shows that this set isn’t just for weddings!  Here is a cheerful Thank You card appropriate for any occasion!  It uses two of the stamps in Wedding Sweet.

My final sample is a playful Note Card!  I will be using a variation of this for my swap card at Convention this year!  This sample uses three out of the six new In Colors along with the large stamp in Wedding Sweet!

If you like what you see today, make sure to put my Blog in your favorites and visit often.  You can also subscribe to my Blog and get my new posts in your email so you don’t miss anything!  See my subscribe box in the upper left corner. 

             

I’m also offering BLOG CANDY in celebration of the Royal Blog Tour!  You’ll receive the Stampin’ Up! stamp set, Sweet Dreams, shown here AND one of my Wedding Sweet swap Note Cards!  This Blog Candy is available to anyone who leaves a comment telling me which project is their favorite with their email contact information.  U.S. residents only, please.

 

Once this path hath reached its end, thy royal coach will travel back to the Royal Blog Tour – Home Castle where more paths await thee!

  4. Great ideas as usual! I really like the note card with the three circle colors and the stamp over them. What a clean, bright look.
    Thanks for all your inspiration.

  10. Your layout and card is fabulous and so inspiring. This is some sweet candy along this Royal Blog Tour. Thanks for a chance.

  13. I like the 3rd project b/c it is simple yet elegant and colorful at the same time.

  15. My favorite is the wedding frame. I would never have thought to use a stamped image as one of the picture spots, but it ties everything all together. Great work.

  17. I LOVE the last project, playful note cards! The colors are great and I love the use of the stamp for something besides wedding cards. Thanks for your ideas!

  18. Connie, I love the way you showed that the “Wedding” set can be used for any card, such pretty projects, I think I like the last card the best, so colorful and out of the box.

  31. I have your blog bookmarked in my blog, and came to the hop through your blog first, but decided to do everything in order, and you are almost the last place I am leaving a comment on fabulous creations. Took like forever to get back to you! I really liked how you made up the wedding frame, but your last card really draws my eyes to it! Major eye candy for me! Love the masked circles with the floral image stamped on top. Beautiful colors!

  34. it’s difficult to pick, but I just love the note card. the colors are gorgeous and the card is just so cute!

  35. Like all your projects, but the last card is my favorite with the spotlights of color. It reminds me of fireworks and any wedding should be the start of a lifetime of exciting fireworks, right? How appropro! Thank you for a great stop on this fine tour!

  37. My favorite? ALL!!! Hee hee. Possibly the third. Putting the circle of color behind really sets the stamp off.
    Just because I like the other card…love the use of ribbon with the rhinestone

  38. Picking a favorite is always so hard. I would have to say the frame because it is such a beautiful remembrance. Thanks for sharing your great projects and for the chance to win your blog candy. My E-mail is lisawhs808 at aol dot com.

  40. I love all your projects. Love the colors you chose. First one is favorite if I have to choose. Thanks for sharing. Mary

  41. Well both cards are really nice but I like the second one the best because the color circles make the design pop off the page.

  42. I’m following the royal blog tour, such fun.
    The set you chose is great, and my favorite is the wedding sweet, with the shadow stamps; unique idea and colorful, thanks for sharing. I will have to add your site to my blog reader.

  43. Connie–great samples! I really like the clean look of the spotlight card. I would never think to do that! Thanks for sharing your art!

    I love all 3 projects, but my favorite is the 3rd one. I love the spotlighting! Thanks for sharing!

  46. Connie, I love ALL of your samples! My favorite is the frame (1st sample) – I never would have thought of using a section of a collage frame that way! How creative!!!

  47. I love the playful note card. The three colors look great together and the card is clean and elegant. I like the fact that the wedding set is versatile. Thank you for a chance to win.

  48. I liked all your projects and color combos. Thanks for the offer and have a great week!

  54. Love the fun colors in the 3rd card. The punches of color behind the ‘flowers’ is the perfect touch. Thanks for sharing.

  55. Hi Connie – it is always hard to answer your question of which one of the projects is the favorite. I love all of yours but especially the framed picture. Cute. Love the color combination’s on the cards.

  57. You’re kidding Connie! Which card is my favorite??? Each one is my favorite, each for a different reason. Silly you. I’ll be looking for your swap card at Convention. Thanks for not disappointing me in your samples. Silly me—you never disappoint. 🙂 ~Blythe

  59. My fav is the Wedding Sweet. Although all the projects were just fantastic!

  64. I just love the Playful Note card! This could be used for dozens of things just by changing the colors! I found so much on your blog that I can “case” that I subscribed! I’ll be back!

  67. I too have no fav, I love them all. My daughter got married last year and I still have not started on the pix. This gives me inkspiration to get moving. Now I have to order the stamps! Thanks a bunch.

  69. I loved the way you used the colors together! My favorite I guess is the note card, although it is hard to choose just one. They’re all great.

  83. I really like the card posted on July 17th, A Stitchin Time. If I have to pick from the three shown for the tour, I would pick the second one, Thank You card. Cathy Miller, Baltimore.

  85. Connie, your work is beautiful…and it really is difficult to choose a favorite. But since you ask I’ll have to say the 3rd because it is just so vivid and eye-catching. I look forward to visiting your blog again for more ideas! thanks.

  88. I love the frame but also like how you have used the cards to show this set is more than weddings – especially the last card.
    Thanks for sharing

  98. Oh! Connie — I am so impressed with the Wedding photo frame. What an awesome way to utilize the Wedding Sweet set to commemorate the wedding of your friends’ daughter!

    Thanks for being on the tour!
    Connie F. ;o)

  102. I like the thank you note the best and maybe it’s because of the dp… or at least I assume that’s dp?? It really helps make the card.

  128. absolutely LOVE the “playful note card”. Never thought about doing such a nice, clean simple card with the splash of color.

  129. I really love the picture frame! I never really considered placing anything other than a pic in each of the sections of a multi frame but it adds a beautiful touch! Thank you for sharing!

  131. Loved the wedding framed pictures with the idea of using a stamped image in one of the openings. My son just got married and this is a very clever idea!!
    Thanks from Mississippi!!

  133. Wow! I love them all, but the scrapbook page is my favorite. The stamps give it a nice simple elegance.

  137. My favorite project is the card where you used the large stamp from the Wedding Sweet set with 3 of the new in colors. I saw this stamp set and thought of so many other project possibilities besides wedding. Your projects are great. I can’t wait to come back and see more. Thanks for sharing.

  138. I really like the wedding frame. I love when we can incorporate our stamps into other projects. great job on all your cards

  139. My favorite one is “The More The Merrier”! I love your unique choices of color scheme for this Christmas card! I’m always looking for other colors rather than always using the same old red/green combo, so I really enjoyed seeing how you did this one! I may wind up borrowing your colors to do my own cards this year! lol!

    Thanks for inviting us to enter for your blog candy.

  142. Connie, I love the note card using the new In-colors. What a great way to use this stamp set for an alternate purpose.

  143. My favorite was the playful note card. Loved the colors and the original idea.
    But all your projects were great!
