Artisan Sketched Garden 12″ X 12″ (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper

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.

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

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.

Silly Old Bear Suite Collection

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’.

Waterside Retreat Suite Collection (English)

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!

Stampin’ Up! Waterside Retreat Suite for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on May 14, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello Thursday – time for another amazing hop of the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a theme challenge today and I had trouble making a decision as to what suite or bundle or DSP exactly to use – so many from which to choose! But the Waterside Retreat Suite won 😀

A friend of mine is retiring soon and this card is perfect for him. I think it fits our theme perfgectly.

Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat Card front

Gray Granite 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4; Pool Party two tone 4 x 5 1/4 embossed w/ So Swirly; Gray Granite again 4 3/8 x 3 7/8; & layer of DSP 4 1/4 x 3 3/4 attached with dimensionals. Fussy cut the life jacket & oars aa& add with dimensionals + liquid adhesive. The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie using the Relaxing Waterside stamp set. I wrapped a length of Baker’s Twine around twice & looped through the Loose Anchor Trinket. It’s attached with a dimentional on the left end and liquid glue on the right. The anchor trinkent has a single glue dot to keep it secure on the card

Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat card inside

For the inside… a layer of Pool Party 4 x 5 1/4 adhered to the inside of the card. On the Basic White I used Crumb Cake & a Blending Brush to add color to the lower portion (like sand). On the top portion is a mix of Balmy Blue & Pool Party & a Blending Brush resembling sky. I stamped the chair in Pecan Pie ink then using Light Pecan Pie to add more shading. The sentiment is also in Pecan Pie; the birds are in Gray Granite. Each stamp is from the Relaxed Waterside stamp set.

On the envelope… more seagulls stamped in Gray Granite and on the flap another of the aterside Retreat DSP 2 1/4 x 6 & trimmed to fit.

Scalloped Blooms Bundle (English)

Stampin’ Up! Purse Gift Bag with Scalloped Blooms Bundle & Lazy Daisy EF

Posted on May 13, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

I’m seeing one of our daughters this weekend & I needed a small gift bag – this design popped up and I loved it: here’s my creation.

Stampin' Up! Purse Gift Bag in Cloud Cover

It begins with card stock 8 x 11; I chose Cloud Cover. Score it with the 8″ up on the paper trimmer @ 2″; turn it a full 180 degrees and do the same again. With the 11″ side at top of paper trimmer, score @ 4 1/2″, rotate 180 degrees & score again at 4 1/2″. With the short side at top again, mark 2″ from the up from the first horizontal score line, then 2″ down from the 2nd horizontal score line. Do this on both sides with short side at top. Burnish all score lines. After burnishing, the folds should look like the photo below.

Stampin' Up! Purse Gift Bag showing scoring & burnishing

Add adhesive to long area with diagonal score & fold in to secure. I should look like the photo below.

Stampin' Up! Purse Gift Bag, showing adhered together

Emboss & die cut a piece of Basic White for the flap. I chose the Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder and Scalloped Blooms Dies (2nd from largest). I lightly marked a center line on the die cut & scored 1/4″ on either side of it & burnished with my fingers. I adhered this to the back of the gift bag up to the first score line. Cut a length of ribbon (about 12″) and attach each end between the score lines on the newly created flap. See left photo below. Cover this area with a 3/8″ wide strip 4″ long to secure the ribbons in place. Add a Velcro dot to the flap. See right photo below.

Stampin' Up! Purse Gift Bag ribbon attached

Close purse – not too tightly – to adhere other half of Velcro dot. Decorate as desired.

I used a leftover portion of the embossed Basic White piece used to make the flap to die cut the sentiment banner & attached it directly to the front of the purse. The die was another of the Scalloped Blooms Dies. I stamped the sentiment using the Scalloped Blooms stamp set & Cloud Cover ink on a scrap of Basic White and fussy cut it. I put dimensionals on the back of the fussy cut sentiment & attached it to the embossed banner.

Finishing touches… I took another length of the 3/8″ Faux Ribbon in Cloud Cover and tied a bow & attached it with liquid glue, holding it in place to secure. I then added two 2026-2028 In Color Dots in Golden Glow – one to the banner & one to the center of the flap opening. I will stuff the inside with a bit of shredded paper & add the gift. 🎁 LOVE THIS!

The pink images were my sample pieces… forgive me 😊

I hope you like this little purse gift bag. What’s extra nice is this can be stored flat after making it – no stuffing inside of course! Want to make this cutie? See the items below for product information.

Scenic Coast Suite Collection (English)

Stampin’ Up! Scenic Coast Suite in a Fun Fold for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Posted on May 12, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Oh yes – ’tis almost time for sailing season! For some it’s already here… and I’m all ‘a flutter’ over this new bundle & it’s coordinating Scenic Coast SDSP & the Sunset Sparkle Sequins. ❤️ The theme for this hop is to make something for the ‘men/ boys’ in our lives. This card relates to that as we sold our sailboat last year & it was tough. But we have such fond memories of our sailing days that it’s ok. 👍

Stampin' Up! Scenic coast Suite fun fold card front

On the inside I added the second panel of the Scenic Coast DSP to the inside on the right of the card. Next to it is a Basic White stamped panel 2 3/4 x 5 1/4. The sentiment is from the Sunset Coast stamp set & I used Night of Navy ink.

Final touch on the inside was this fabulous die cut that looks like netting, and I added it with dabs of liquid glue to the left portion of the card. – And done! The card looks like this from the top.

Stampin’ Up! Tri-Fold Shutter Card

Posted on May 10, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Hello, hello! Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mothers out there – and if you have cats, dogs, horses, pets of any sort – you’re a mother of those pets! So enjoy your day – maybe even do something special ❤️

My card today is a really fun, fun fold called a tri-fold shutter card, and I’ve used some gorgeous new Valley In Bloom DSP and it’s coordinating bundle Lily of the Valley stamps & dies & adorable 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies. Let’s look.

Stampin' Up! Tri-Fold Shuttle Card front

And here’s how we do this… begin with your card base 10 1/2 x 5 1/2 with score lines at 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 7 & 8 3/4. With the short side at top on your paper trimmer & at 1 1/2″ cut from the first score to the last score. Now move the paper to 4″ & cut again for the fist score line to the last. Burnish well valley, mountain, valley, mountain. For the canter area, it will be mountain, valley, mountain, valley… so just the opposite. It will look like the photo below.

Stampin' Up! Tri-fold Shuttle Card, from the top

Now decorate… I used Valley In Bloom DSP… 2 strips 1 1/2 x 5 1/4; 4 strips 1 1/2 x 1 1/4; 2 strips 1 1/4 x 3 1/4; 2 strips 1 1/2 x 2 1/4. The sentiment area is Mossy Meadow 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 & stamped Basic White 3 1/8 x 2 1/8.This was stamped in Gardewn Green ink for the sentiment itself & Mossy Meadow for the lilies. I colored the lily flowers with Light Barely Blush Stampin’ Blends & moved the ink on the leaves with a Blender Pen. I then added the three Butterflies (2026-2028 In Color Butterflies)

On the left front panel I added this die cut lily and leaf. The leaf is die cut from Granny Apple Green card stock. The lilies were die cut from Basic White then I used Mossy Meadow to color the stem and Light Barely Blush to add color to the flowers. These use the Lily of the Valley Dies. The circle is from Stylish shapes stamped with a sentiment from Lily of the Valley stamp set in Garden Geen ink.

Stampin' Up! Tri-Fold Shutter card & envelope

The envelope… more Valley in Bloom DSP on the flap and the leaves stamped in Mossy Meadow ink and ‘moved’ using a Blender Pen.

Stampin’ Up! Showing Off Velvet Meadows SDSP for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on May 7, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today & I’m showing off a new Specialty Designer Series Paper for it. I’ve created three cards but the first is the first is my favorite. Why is it special – because it has raised areas that feel like velvet!!! Hence the name – Velvet Meadows

This card began with one of the new IN COLOR card stocks – Peaceful Pine 11 x4 1/4 scored at 5 1/2 (side fold). I used a SDSP layer 4 x 5 1/4 from Velvet Meadows SDSP.. The next layer is another Peaceful Pine with the gorgeous velvet side of the Velvet Meadows SDSP – adhered together & added with dimensionals. I then die cut some of the flowers from the SDSP using the coordinating Flowering Meadows Dies. I fussy cut several leaves: leaves & flowers were added to the card front with dimensionals. Now we have two layers of dimensionals in total. The sentiment is stamped in Berry Burst using the Flowering Meadows stamp set and fussy cut, then added with dimesnionals. Final step – two stunning embellishments: Dreaming Flowers in whiten – yep, from the suite!

For the inside… I stamped this floral image from the Flowering Meadows stamp set in Berry Burst on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4. This was attached to the inside side of the card.

For the envelope… I stamped this same image in Berry Burst on both the flap & the front of the envelope. This just ties everything together making it look so perfect!

Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow Card 2 inside

My next card is again a card base of Peaceful Pine5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 (top fold). I embossed a Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 with the Paradise Garden 3D embossing Folder & attached it to the card front. The next layer is Peaceful Pine with a layer of the Velvet Meadows SDSP & attached with dimensionals. In this suite of products is the Velveteen Assortment Special Paper – this one used is white. I die cut these gorgeous small leaves using the Flowering Meadows Dies. On Basic White I stamped the daisyin Peaceful Pine ink, then die cut the center with the Velveteen Assortment Specialty Paper in White and attached this by adhering the stem with liquid glue & a mini dimensional on the back of the daisy flower.

For the inside, I stamped off the stems & image in Peaceful Pine on the Basic White panel 4 x 5 14 & attached it – no sentiment!

Stampin' Up! Velvet Meadow card 3 inside

For this last card, I used Berry Burst for the card base (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 – top fold). I layered this with Velvet Meadows SDSP 4 x 5 1/4. The next is Berry Burst & another of the papers in Velvet Meadows SDSP – I LIKE this contrast! I’ve added no sentiment or any kind of embellishment. The SDSP speaks for itself.

For the inside, I stamped the double flower image in Berry Burst ink on the Basic White panel (5 1/4 x 4) & adhered this to the inside of the card. The sentiment is stamped in Peaceful Pine ink using the Flowering Meadows stamp set.

Here are the envelopes for the two additional cards: the left stamped with Peaceful Pine ink: full strength then stamped again & once more without re-inking. This was sone on the envelope front & the flap. The envelope on right is stamped off erry Burst ink and the same double flowers image from Flowering Meadows stamp set.

Now… check out what others on the hop are creating. I had extra fun making cards with the same layout but each with different layers/ embellishments or very simple & just paper, Each is so different from the next, which makes it extra fun. Click the ‘next’ button or click on a name to vist the other participants.

Stampin’ Up! Relaxing Waterside for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on April 30, 2026 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to our HOP! We have a color challenge today… I’m using a NEW product available May 5 called the Relaxing Waterside bundle & it’s coordinating Designer Paper called Waterside Retreat. Let’s take a peek…

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card front

I used Cloud Cover for my card base (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4) then layered a panel of a new IN Color called Crisp Cantaloupe (4 1/8 x 5 38) then a layer of the Waterside Retreat DSP. I die cut the chair from Wood Textured Specialty Paper & added it with dimensionals. I also stamped grass images in both Pecan Pie & Old Olive onto Basic White scraps & die cut them. They are part of the Relaxing Waterside bundle & just add wonderful dimension to the card. Last thing was to stamp the seagulls in Cloud Cover ink – and the card front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card inside

For the inside – on a Basic White piece (4 x 5 1/4) I stamped these sentiments in Cloud Cover ink and attached the panel to the inside.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside card & envelope

For the envelope… On the backside of this particular sheet is this wonderful stripe pattern – I used that for the flap then stamped more seagulls on the front with Cloud Cover ink. Here on the East coast, seagulls swarm wherever there are people with food. They get quite aggressive in taking food, sometimes right out of one’s hand!!!
