Stampin’ Up! Artisan Sketched Garden DSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday blog Hop

Posted on June 18, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday & our fabulous hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I played with the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP to create this beautiful card – that & the Shimmer Brushes to color the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

And here’s my card. I took a piece of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP – it’s an all black & white images pack that I love!- and cut it to 4 1/4 x 4 1/2. Then I set about coloring it with the Shimmer Brushes… Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow and finally Hydrangea Hue. I added this to a Crisp cantaloupe card base 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2. I took the backside of this same paper and cut two strips 1/4″ wide and added these top & bottom. I stamped thre sentiment using the Words & Wishes stamp set in Memento ink on a Basic White strip, added a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe to the bottom, and angled the one end, attached dimensionals to the back & set it aside to make a double bow from Black Baker’s Twine (it comes in a pack of 5 different colors). This was attached to the back of the sentiment panel with a glue dot, then the strip was added to the card front. Final touch – three 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Crisp Cantaloupe.

For the inside of the card I stamped another sentiment from Words & Wishes stamp set in Memento ink on the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel, then added another strip of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP. To finish this off, I cut out a vase from another one of the papers in this fabulous pack & colored it: Cloud Cover for the water and Shimmer Brush in Crisp Cantaloupe for the flowers – then attached as though the polka dot strip were a table.

Stampin' Up! Artisan Sketched Garden card & envelope

For the envelope – same coloring on the same pattern of flowers from the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP was added to the flap & trimmed to fit. And another sentiment from the same Words & Wishes stamp set was stamped in the lower left front of the envelope. Done & ready to send to someone fabulous!

Stampin’ Up! Opulent Oasis & Berry Botanical Vellum Paired with a Fun Fold

Posted on June 17, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning! Oh my goodness, we have such a beautiful day here on the Jersey coast. It’s only going up to 75 (now 60) and the humidity is low – I’m in heaven. Today’s card is a bit of that as well. So here ya go…

Opulent Oasis & Berry Botanical Vellum fun fold with belly band

Stampin' Up! Opulent Oasis & Berry Botanical Vellum Fun Fold card open

Isn’t this pretty? And so incredibly easy!!! Here are the basics… the card base is 11 x 5 1/2 scored @ ! 3/4, 5 1/2, & 9 3/4 – mountain, valley, valley. Layer W/ DSP: 2 @ 3 1/2 x 5 1/4, 1 1/2 x 5 1/4, & 2 @ 1 x 5 1/4. Basic White panel is 4 x 5 1/4 & stamped with the Opulent Oasis stamp set in Bubble Bath & Strawberry Slush stamped off once, leaves are in Peaceful Pine. The belly band is 1 x 10 & wrapped around loosely and secured in front. I used the Sweet Words Dies, Basic White & another piece of the Vellum to create the background for the flower & adhered over the secured Belly Band. The flower is stamped in Bubble Bath & strawberry Slush stamped off once using the Opulent Oasis stamp set then die cut with the corresponding dies. Leaves were die cut from Peaceful Pine using the Opulent Oasis Dies. The leaves were attached with liquid glue to the back of the flower, and the flower attached to the banners with dimesnionals. In the center are several Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.

Here’s how the card looks from the top.

Stampin’ Up! Violets Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on June 11, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome, welcome. We have a wonderful floral challenge for us today & I’ve chosen a new, soon to be released July ONLINE Exclusive to use in this shutter card. The Framed Violets bundle is part of the Violet Dreams Suite of products: Adhesive-Backed Blooms, 1/4″ Satin Ribbon in Fresh Freesia, Violet Dreams 12×12 DSP & the Framed Violets bundle already mentioned.

Stampin' Up! Framed Violets Shutter fold card front

When looking at this card, notice the stamped sentiment on Basic White, then notice below the stamped sentiment on Hydrangea Hue – that’s all part of the slider mechanism. It is so cool in person!

Stampin' Up! Framed Violets shutter fun fold inside card

And here’s a top/ down view…

Stampin' Up! Framed Violets Shutter fun fold top/ down view

How to make this card… notice there are two colors used on this card, a light color (Hydrangea Hue) & a Basic White and there are two panels of the Hydrangea Hue.

Front Panel: Color 1 – 4 14 x 8 1/4 scored at 5 1/2. The smaller section is what creates the shuttle or ‘slider’ of the card. Cover the larger section with DSP cut 4 x 5 1/4. Use a 2″ hole punch to create the opening on the front side. Center Panel: this is Secret Sea – 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Add a 4 x 4 DSP to each side. With the fold to the left, place so this panel is flush with the right edge of the card front; hold in place, trace the 2″ circle, then punch the 2″ circle where marked. Close this Secret Sea piece & trace the circle to the right side of the Secret Sea (see the floral pattern in the open card), punch the 2″ circle again using the tracing to line up.. There should now be three circles: front and both sides of the Secret Sea inside panel. Adhere the backside of the left section of this folded panel to the inside of the front panel, matching edges so they are even. DO NOT TRY TO LINE UP WITH THE FOLD! Back Panel: The color of this panel should match that of the card front. In my case – Hydrangea Hue: 4 1/4 x 5 3/4 score at 5 1/2. Cut a Basic White piece about 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 and adhere close to the score line and that becomes the stamped sentiment we see with the card closed. Do not adhere just yet :O) First, burnish the score line well, fold it inwards and add adhesive along the 1/4″ fold. With the folded edge in, add to the center panel even with the right edge of that panel. It will look like the photo at left, below. Now add the Basic White piece so it fits behind the opening and can be stamped. (yes, mine is a circle cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies). Now add adhesive along that score line as shown in photo at right and close card. This keeps the card from being floppy.

Stampin' Up! template image of shuttle card

Now you may do your stamping sentiments. With the card closed, stamp on the Basic White panel – that’s what shows when the card is closed. For my car rd I stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink and used the sentiment from the Framed Violets stamp set. Open the card and stamp on the ‘slider’ portion. Again, Gorgeous Grape ink and the sentiment is from Framed Violets stamp set.

Now it’s time to decorate the various layers: To create the ‘frame’ around the circle I used a 2 3/8 circle punch and a 2″ circle punch and adhered it to the front & one on the right inside circle as well. card front: I used the Framed Violets Dies to die cut the violets from Basic White then colored the violets using Stampin’ Blends in Highland Heather. I used the tiniest of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels for the flower centers. The leaves arew die cut using the Framed Violets Dies and Peaceful Pine. I added the flowers & leaves with dabs of glue then added the bow with a glue dot: 1/4″ Satin Ribbon in Fresh Freesia (part of the suite). The additional gems are Adhesive-Backed Blooms that add that final touch of sparkle. Love these!

And below is the card & envelope – this sweet, sweet violet from the Framed Violets stamp set stamped in Memento ink then colored with Highland Heather & Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends. The same pattern of DSP from Violet Dreams 12×12 was added to flap & trimmed to fit. This becomes such a beautiful gift to a birthday gal – all by itself. Love!!

Stampin’ Up! Sneak Peek of Summer Happiness, July ONLINE Exclusive for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on June 4, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday and this fun hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I chose to work a brand new July ONLINE EXCLUSIVE bundle. It’s called Summer Happiness. 😀

Stampin' Up! Summer Happiness card front

I began by stamping these fun summer images and using a different ink for each one: Timid Tiger, Daffodil Delight and Strawberry Slush. They are so absolutely typical summer! Then I took the Perennial Postage Dies to die cut the immediate background for each: under the drink is Summer Slush, under the sun is Daffodil Delight, and under the flip flops is Timid Tiger. Using the next larger die in Perennial Postage, I die cut three rectangles from Basic White. I adhered each of these layers together with dimensionals and set them aside to make the background for these cute images. The card base is Thick Basic White (11 x 4 1/4 scored @ 5 1/2) with a layer of Crisp cantaloupe (4 x 5 1/4). I used the largest die in Perennial Postage Dies to die cut the panel from 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns DSP. Each of these layers were added with liquid glue. Before placing my rectangles, I stamped the sentiment in Strawberry Sluch ink on a Basic White piece & adhered a narrow strip of Strawberry Slush to the back. I put dimensionals on the back and centered it on the bottom of the card. I then added the three rectangles, placing the center item first then the other two. These were attached with liquid adhesive. Final touch – a few embellishment in Strawberry Slush.

Stampin' Up! Summer Happiness card inside

For the inside… Another panel of Crisp Cantaloupe was added (4 x 5 1/4) then the Basic White panel (3 3/4 x 5). I stamped the sunglasses in Strawberry Slush ink and the card itself was complete!

Stampin' Up! Summer Happiness card & envelope

For the envelope… I added the same Crisp Cantaloupe color of Painted Patterns DSP to the flap & trimmed to fit. I then stamped the sentiment on the front from Summer Happiness stamp set in Timid Tiger. Such a fun, light-hearted card!

Below is the bundle used for today’s card. Aren’t these fun images & dies coordinate! I could have done this same challenge using the daisy stamp and three images of that – wouldn’t that be cute!

Stampin’ Up! Bloom Boutique SDSP & Scalloped Blooms Bundle for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on May 28, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome! It’s Thursday & time for our Happy Inkin’ hop 😀. There are some talented folks in the group so be sure to check out what they have created. We have a color challenge today & I made two very different cards; both use the Bloom Boutique SDSP & the Scalloped Blooms Bundle.

Below are the two cards I created for this color challenge. I would really like to know if you have a favorite!

For the card on the left I used the Scalloped Blooms Dies to die cut flowers & centers from various papers in the Bloom Boutique Specialized Designer Series Paper (SDSP). I added them to the created card front: Crisp Cantaloupe card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2) with a layer of Basic White (4 1/8 x 5 3/8) & Bloom Boutique SDSP (4 x 5 1/4) that were added to the card base with dimensionals. I die cut leaves from Peaceful Pine & slipped them around the flowers. In the smallest flower I added a single 2026-2028 In Color Dot in Golden Glow. The sentiment is stamped with VersaMark ink & sprinkled with Metallic WOW! embossing powder in Gold & heat set. I then die cut it with a die from Scalloped Blooms Dies. I snipped thin strips from each of the 2036-2028 In Color 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon & slipped them through the hole in the die cut, then tied a Linen Thread Bow to secure them in place. The sentiment was added to the front with dimensionals.

For the card on the right I cut strips from various papers in the Bloom Boutique SDSP: 1 x 4 3/4, 3/4 x 4 3/4 & 1 1/2 x 4 3/4. These were added to a Peaceful Pine laiyer 3 1/2 x 4 7/8. This was added to the Barely Blush card base (8 1/2 x 5 12 scored at 4 1/4). I wrapped a Barely Blush 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon around and secured it in back. I took the remaining bits of ribbon from the first card & tied each one in a kinot on the Barely Blush ribbon. I stamped the sentiment in Peaceful Pine ink from Scalloped Blooms satmp set on a Basic White scrap then die cut it with a Scalloped Blooms Die. I added dimensionals to the back & sdecured it in place. Final touch… five 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Peaceful Pine.

Stampin' Up! Bloom Boutique Varied Papers Birthday card front

For the insides of these two cards… the card on the left has stripes added with the various In Color Shimmer Brushes found on page 77 in the May-August 2026 Catalog. Once these dried I stamped the sentiment from scalloped Blooms in Black ink. The card on the right has a simple 1/2″ x 4 strip of the Bloom Boutique SDSP at the bottom. The sentiment is stamped in Peaceful Pine ink and is from Scalloped Blooms stamp set.

Envelopes… Each envelope has a 2 1/4 x 6 strip of the Bloom Boutique SDSP added to the flap & trimmed to fit. And that’s it! So… what’s your favorite card? I’d love to know!

Stampin’ Up! Artisan Sketched Garden DSP + Framed All Around Sympathy Card

Posted on May 23, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Saturday! We are in full rain for the next 48 hours mode… Maybe I can play in my craft room 😀 or… get some other projects completed. Today I have a sympathy card made with Artisan Sketched Garden and some Stampin’ Blends and oh yes, some Berry Botanical Vellum.

Stampin' Up! Artisan Sketched Garden & Framed All Around Sympathy card front

I began by coloring the pretty floral images on the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP: Peaceful Pine for the leaves, Fresh Freesia & Golden Glow for the flowers. Interesting combination, right? I took my cue for this combination by looking at the Berry Botanical Vellum which has an even larger mix of colors. I backed this with a panel of Golden Glow card stock then wrapped it with 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon in Golden Glow. I took another short length and slipped it under the ribbon & tied a knot. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black ink on Basic White scrap & fussy cut it & placed it on the front with dimensionals. I cut a piece of the grid vellum from the Berry Botanical Vellum pack & backed it with Fresh Freesia. This was adhered directly to the polka dot pattern of the Artisan Sketched Garden that was already on a Card base of Basic Black.

For the inside… I stamped the sentiment using the Framed All Around stamp set & Memento Black ink then stamped the ‘frame’ in two places with Fresh Freesia ink. The Basic White was secured to the card base & the card was complete.

For the envelope… I stamped this leaf image in Memento Black ink & colored the leaves with Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends. On the flap is another of the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP in the polka dot pattern used for the card front. I love how this card turned out, sweet to look at and gentle thoughts. This card goes in the mail today.

Stampin’ Up! W/V Fun Fold with Silly Old Bear

Posted on May 22, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning, good morning! It is a bleak looking day here today – cloudy, overcast, 55 degrees. Of course 2 days ago it was 94! We made this card two weeks ago in card class & I forgot to post it 😖. It is so cute… Silly Old Bear DSP, Hundred Acre Woods embossing Folder & coordinating Sweet Words & Lab els bundle. These are all from the May ONLINE EXCLUSIVES.

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear May ONLINE W/V Fun Fold

I used the dies from Sweet Words & Labels to die cut this image straight from the Silly Old Bear DSP. The layer behind the DSP is Golden Glow card stock, one of the new In Colors for 2026-2028. I used Wink of Stella on the Balloon & Hydrangea Hue for stamping the sentiment from Sweet Words & Labels stamp set. Let’s look at the inside of the card so you can see the whole image.

Stampin' Up! Silly Old Bear W/V Fun Fold inside card

The DSP layers here are all from the Silly Old Bear DSP – gorgeous aren’t they? And the card stock layers are Golden Glow. The card base is Very Vanilla and the embossed panel is also Very Vanilla, embossed with Hundred Acre Woods 3D embossing Folder as I mentioned earlier. The images for the V panel were fussy cut from the Silly Old Bear DSP & stamped with the Sweet Words & Labels stamp set: either Golden Glow or Hydrangea Hue.

Directions for a W/V fun fold:

The card base is 11 x 5 1/2 scored on the long side @ 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 1/4, & 7
Card stock layers 1 1/2 x 5 1/4 – cut 4; 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 + embossed panel 3 5/8 x 5 1/8
DSP layers 1 3/8 x 5 1/8 – cut 4, 2 different patterns
Die cut images from Silly Old Bear DSP using the Sweet Words & Labels Dies; die cut card stock layer for behind each image with next size larger die
Embossed the largest panel for the inside back – Hundred Acre Woods EF
Adhere Layers together & attach to card base
Cut another panel of card stock (here it is Very Vanilla) 6 x 3 & score on long side @ 3″; attache to front panel & last scored panel to create the V – see photo below. Decorate the right panel w/ card stock layer 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 then Very Vanilla layer 2 5/8 x 2 5/8. This last layer is stamped & decorated prior to attaching.
Attach die cuts from DSP; add additional fussy cut layer for inside back panel & stamp sentiment in Hydrangea Hue

I love how this card turned out! And it can used for all kinds of reasons. I’m sending this to a friend who needs a little ‘pick me up’.

Stampin’ Up! Waterside Retreat Father’s Day card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on May 21, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

It’s Thursday & time for another Blog Hop from this fabulous Krew! We have a sketch challenge today that is so versatile and can be used for lots of cards – birthdays, sympathy, you name it. I chose this Waterside Retreat DSP as this card is for a fisherman for Father’s Day. I think this fits well!

Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat sketch challenge

Here’s what I did to create this card… I first cut a panel of the Waterside Retreat DSP 3 3/4 x 5 1/2 & added a slip margin of Azure Afternoon card stock to the one side. I set this aside and cut a 1 x 5 1/2 piece of the same DSP (it’s the reverse side of the fish images) and added it to the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Azure Afternoon card base (yep, scored at 4 1/4. I then added the set aside panel. These were all added with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment in Azure Afternoon ink using the Relaxing Waterside stamp set, on the Azure Afternoon 5/8 x 2 1/2″ strip. I attached this to a Crisp Cantaloupe 3/4 x 2 1/2 strip & slipped a large Linen Thread bow between dimensionals & attached it with a glue dot to the strip. The strip was added to the card front with dimensionals as mentioned. Final touch – 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Crisp Cantaloupe.

Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat inside card

For the inside… A 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White with a strip of the Waterside Retreat DSP 3/4 x 5 1/4 was then stamped with na sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Azure Afternoon ink. This was added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat card & envelope

For the envelope… a 2 1/4 x 6″ strip of the Waterside Retreat was added to the flapn & trimmed to fit. On the front a simple grass stamped in Old Olive ink three times without re-inking in between. This gives a sense of dimension to the image. Love the simplicity!
