Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 18, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to the week before Christmas – and this fun blog hop with the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We have a sketch challenge today… I’ve chosen to use the Simply Beautiful bundle & other products in the Lovely & Beautiful Suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful Bundle card front

I began with a Fresh Freesia card base and added two layers of the Lovely & Beautiful Special DSP, off-setting them for the challenge and attached them with dimensionals. I then pulled out Petal Pink to die cut the two flower pieces and Gold Foil for the stems & leaves. I used a sponge dauber & Calypso Coral ink to add dimension to the flower centers. Using the Beautifully Celebrated Dies, I also die cut the sweet label under the flower from Basic White and used the same sponge dauber to sponge the edges. I stamped the sentiment in Petal Pink ink and fussy cut along the bottom. This was attached with dimesnionals. Final touch… the awesome Pearlized Faceted Circles. Let me explain the flower layers a bit more… I added the two petal layers with a single cut in half mini dimensional, but it didn’t quite ‘sit’ the way I wanted, so I rolled a glue dot and attached that to one of the petals and it did the trick. The gold foil stamen is added with a glue dot.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card inside

For the inside… The leaf is stamped with Memento ink – my ink pad is way juicy and the image is quite strong 😦 But I colored the leaf with Stampin’ Blends in Old Olive. I added the Basic White panel to another piece of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP and attached them to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Simply Beautiful card & envelope

For the envelope… another stamped image in Memento ink Simply Beautiful stamp set & colored with Stampin’ Blends Petal Pink & Old Olive. The flap has the same Fresh Freesia Lovely & Beautiful SDSP trimmed to fit. For information about shopping with me or joining my team, see below.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop Group

Posted on December 9, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Our theme is ‘celebrate’ and we can interpret that any needed way. I have chosen to use the brand new products in the Lovely & Beautiful suite in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog on pages 23-29. This is an absolutely gorgeous suite & I’m highlighting only a small bit of it.

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog hop Group

The background is this fun checkered pattern & I’ve stamped this sentiment from the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral. I then die cut from the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper the flower & leaves using the Simply Beautiful Dies. The leaves & tiny pieces are adhered directly to the card front while the flower is on dimensionals as is the stamen (it’s on a mini dimensional cut in half!) I then added these gorgeous Pearlized Faceted Circles that are also a part of the suite. The Specialty DSP was added to a Basic panel slightly larger then attached to the Calypso Coral card base with dimensionals. I made a small Linen Thread bow and tucked it under the flower, adhering with a dab of glue.

For the inside of the card, I used yet another of the Simply Beautiful Dies to die cut this flower from the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP. Before attaching it in place I stamped this decorative design using a stamp from Beautifully Celebrated stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. I adhered the flower then stamped the sentiment – again in Calypso Coral ink – then adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Lovely & Beautiful Suite card & envelope

For the envelope… more of the Lovely & Beautiful SDSP was adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the front is this leaf, stamped in Old Olive ink using the Beautifully Celebrated stamp set. While this is very springy in color, I’m using this as a birthday card for my friends birthday in December – something non traditional ‘Decemberish’ 😀 For information on how to get the new Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog, see below.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs Sneak Peek for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on December 4, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to Thursday – Dec 4 – and the super fun blog hop. We have a sketch challenge today that is just perfect to show off a new January-April 2026 Mini Catalog product – some of the Cute As A Bug Suite. Just super, super cute! Thanks for joining me today.

This super cute ‘bug’ is a die cut (from Sweet Bugs Dies) using the Designer Series Paper called Cute As A Bug 12×12. It may be found in the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog on pages 42-44. I added a Basic White backing for strength. The sentiment comes from the Sweet Bug stamp set. and the DSP these sit on is more of the Cute As A Bug 12×12 DSP. It was added to a Mossy Meadow panel just slightly larger. The embossing folder is also brand new – it’s called Lovely Stripes and is an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE coming in January. It was dry embossed on Crushed Curry card stock and added to as Crushed Curry card base.The embellishments I used are Low Profile Sparkle Dots in Mossy Meadow.

For the inside of the card I die cut another cute ‘fellow’ from the Cute As A Bug DSP and adhered it to a Basic White panel. I also stamped a sentiment from the Sweet Bug stamp set in Mossdy Meadow ink. This panel is attached to Mossy Meadow & both added to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs card & envelope front

A super cute stamp of these ants mar ching along… from the Sweet Bug stamp set. I stamped in Pecan Pie ink – should have usede Memento Black ink. I colored with Stampin’ Blends Pecan Pie, Daffodil Delight & Real Red.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs Card & envelope back

For the envelope back I attached more of the same design from the Cute As A Bug 12×12 DSP. Tuesday, the day I made this card ,was a dismal, dreary day outside – rained all day – 2 1/2″ plus – and making this card made me smile. Hope it makes you smile too. If you do not have a copy of the new January to April 2026 Mini Catalog, please reach out to me – I can fix that!

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines & Snowflakes for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 27, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning sweet friends – HAPPY THANKSGIVING! My prayer for you is that you are able to be thankful & grateful for your life and those in your life. Life is short – love fully & completely. Our life changes when we support one another & give back. Special blessings!

It’s hop time in the Inkin’ Krew world… and our theme is winter/ snow I had all kinds of ideas going through my head and ended with doing something quite traditional.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines & Snowflakes

The card base is Thick Basic White with a layer of Elegant Pines DSP covering the front of the card base. I then pulled out Lost Lagoon card stock & removed any particles with my embossing buddy and proceeded to stamp several snowflake images in VersaMark ink. I sprinkled these with WOW! White Embossing Powder & heat set it with my heat tool. I let that cool and stamped the pine needles in Lost Lagoon ink. I roughed the edges of the Lost Lagoon with my scissors and bent & curled some edges & attached it to the card front with dimensionals. I also stamped a Basic White strip with a sentiment from Delicate Pines in Lost Lagoon ink & snowflake & pine needles in Lost Lagoon and Old Olive inks. I added this fun Bordered Ribbon to the b ack of the sentiment strip & attached it to the Lost Lagoon front with dimesnionals. As a final touch I added these embellishments to the centers of several snowflakes.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines inside of card

For the inside… I fussy cut this snowflake from the Elegant Pines DSP and adhered it with liquid glue to a Basic White panel then stamped the sentiment from Delicate Pines stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines & snowflakes card & envelope

For the envelope I stamped this wonderful pine branch in VersaMark ink, sprinkled it with WOW! White embossing powder and heat set it with my heat tool. When dry I used my Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blend to color the area over the snowflake for an emboss resist look. :O) I buffed it gently to remove ink from the embossing.

Stampin’ Up! Sketch Challenge for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 20, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Good morning… it’s Thursday and you KNOW what that means – the wonderful Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. We have some very talented folks on this team & it amazes me what folks create. I hope you appreciate all the talent you see on our hops. It is so funny, I was a week ahead of myself & made something for that… so I re-grouped!

Yesterday I received a Stampin’ Up! package with items from the Jan-April 2026 Mini Catalog, along with my catalog! YAY! So, in re-grouping and with the new items, I created something, well, different for me. My hubby really likes it – so hopefully you will too.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony card front

The items on this card are all from the Nature’s Walk Suite Collection in the new January – April 2026 Mini Catalog. First off, I cannot believe we are quickly moving into 2026!!! How did that happen? Secondly – this suite is full of gorgeous Designer Series Paper (2!), embellishments, a bundle & ribbon. I used all but the ribbon for this card. Check the texture on the paper behind the leaf die cut. That’s called Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper. And the die cut leaf is from one of the Nature Walk DSP; the panel at the bottom is from the same sheet. The odd-shaped cuts in the paper – a die from the Nature’s Symphony Dies. More texture! And the piece with the holes – another die. And of course, it was cut from the same piece of DSP!

I used additional products to make this card… the Textured Notes Dies (third from largest), Very Vanilla card stock & Secret Sea ink.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony, inside card

For the inside of the card… Another strip of the Nature Walk DSP across the bottom of a 4 x 5 1/4 panel of Very Vanilla; the leaf is actually a portion of the leaf from the leaf on the card front :O) The sentiment is from Nature’s Symphony stamp set – stamped in Secret Sea ink. There’s another stamp on there too, on the paper under the leaf, it’s just really hard to see, but it comes from this stamp set as well.

Stampin' Up! Nature's Symphony card & envelope

Card & envelope… I left this in the ‘large’ size so you can see the texture on the larger panel of Specialty Paper. I will definitely be playing more with this set! You can see more photos below of the products in this suite – the Nature Walk Suite Collection – out in the January- April 2026 Mini Catalog.

Take a ‘walk’ through the folks participating in today’s hop by clicking the link below or clicking on a name. Enjoy!

Here are photos of this suite of products, plus the front of the catalog. You can see I tabbed it already so I can find what I’m looking for more easily.

Stampin’ Up! Pleated Fun Fold with Botanical Textures DSP

Posted on November 19, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

I posted a card last week that was made in this same way. Todays card is simply black & white with the beautiful Botanical Textures DSP (on the last chance list so ON SALE!) I used a new November ONLINE EXCLUSIVE embossing folder – Beautiful Pattern and really like the design it creates.

Stampin' Up! Pleated Fun Fold in Botanical Textures

You will notice I offset the pleated panel and tied the bow on the side. This has a totally different look. Here is the link to the card with this same pleat or accordion type fold.

More photos… card open to the left so all layers show, then card open to right where only the second panel is decorated. You could, of course, decorate the other panels, but they would not show when the card is closed or open.

Stampin' Up! Pleated Fun Fold in Botanical Textures, open to left

Notice the DSP is cut so each design matches the next, starting with the left far panel to even the small strip on right. These were purposely cut sequentially so the pattern would ‘flow.’

Stampin’ Up! Traditions of Christmas Fun Fold for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Posted on November 13, 2025 by TL's Bright Spot

Welcome to our Thursday hop! Thanks for jumping in… If you came from Tara, I’m sure you were inspired by her creation – and I hope you will be inspired here as well. We have a color challenge today & I chose to work with the Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP. What makes it specialty you ask – the gold! And it’s gorgeous!

I think I incorporated all the colors but Secret Sea by using the Traditions of Christmas SDSP. This is such gorgeous paper and my pack is nearly gone. Of course, my card class is using it to make this exact card today 😀

To make this beauty… begin with a card base of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and layer it with a panel of Pool Party that is embossed with the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder. Yes, I used this embossing folder in yesterdays card as well. Set this aside to create the fun fold front… cut 4 1/4 x 11 & score. (see below for all card cuts & scoring info) Attach Traditions of Christmas SDSP panels as shown in next photo. The Basic White panels: the smaller is stamped in Real Red ink using the Traditional Labels stamp set. The larger Basic White panel has the 5/8 wide SDSP strip. The Nests of Winter panel is attached on the ‘back’ of the front fold. Again – see the photo below for reference. I kept the photo in large size in order for you to see all the panels.

Once all pieces are attached to the folded panels, attach ribbon to the back of the folded section, then attach that entire folded section to the embossed panel, centering all around. Tie ribbon into bow to determine placement of sentiment.

Sentiment piece is Real Red & Pool Party layered. The gold foil sentiment is created with the fabulous Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies. All are attached with adhesive, then attached to the card front, centering.

For the envelope I used the same piece of Traditions of Christmas SDSP as the front panels of the card. And that was it. This card is not too heavy and the bulk is enhanced by the bow. In lieu of the bow, a belly band could easily be used.

Finis! What do you think? I love the softness & contrast of the Pool Party against the Real Red. And this would be fun with other papers than this Christmas – I can’t wait to try another.
