Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects celebrate New Year’s Day, a special day to start anew and prepare for the coming year. 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 card is Coastal Cabana concoction of color and texture featuring the Many Medallions dies and the Playful Alphabet dies.

I used a colorful piece of Playing with Patterns 6×6 Designer Series Paper in the background and layered it with the large medallion die cut from Whisper White cardstock. 2021 cut from Basic Black cardstock and layered over Coastal Cabana helps the year stand out.
Touches of Playing with Patterns Resin Dots scatter a little fun over the card.
Of course today is not just Blog Hop day. It’s also our fearless leader’s birthday! So I’d like to extend a shout-out to a friend of 5+ years who’s always ready to share a laugh.

The color palette for today’s card includes some Christmas favorites like Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce with fresh accents of Coastal Cabana and Soft Sea Foam. I just love the combination.
